Planning commission clears Rockland Second Edition plat and Ace Auto conditional-use amendment with conditions
Summary
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Rockland Second Edition preliminary/final plat and a conditional-use permit amendment for Ace Auto Rockland LLC to expand parking and outdoor sales, subject to wetland delineation, stormwater treatment and easement and maintenance agreements required by staff and San Creek Township.
The Scott County Planning Commission on June 8 recommended approval of the Rockland Second Edition preliminary and final plat (10.5 acres) and a conditional-use permit amendment for Ace Auto Rockland LLC to expand parking and outdoor-sales area, subject to conditions including a positive wetland delineation review, stormwater pretreatment/infiltration controls and recorded easement/maintenance agreements.
Greg Wagner, principal planner, said the request covers combining a recently purchased three-acre residence into Ace Auto's existing property west of U.S. Highway 169 and adding paved parking and an infiltration basin to handle additional runoff. "To accommodate the additional hard-surface stormwater runoff, the applicants are proposing a new pre-treatment and infiltration basin," Wagner said, noting wetlands and a floodplain on the west side of the property and the proximity of a U.S. National Wildlife Refuge.
Megan Tasker, natural-resources engineer, reviewed the stormwater plan and recommended approval contingent on a positive wetland delineation and the applicant demonstrating no wetland impacts. San Creek Township and staff flagged two drafting items related to vacating and rededicating a drainage-utility easement and asked for a stormwater-facility maintenance agreement that would place maintenance responsibility with the property owner and allow the township to perform necessary work and assess the property if the owner failed to maintain the facility.
No public commenters addressed the commission. A commissioner moved to approve the preliminary/final plat and the conditional-use amendment, incorporating township recommendations and staff conditions to be satisfactorily addressed before county-board consideration; the motion passed.
Next steps: staff noted remaining items (wetland delineation, easement documentation, stormwater maintenance agreement and final engineering) must be resolved before county board consideration and issuance of certificates of compliance.
