Review
The applicant is requesting an amendment to the existing Conditional Use Permit to allow the installation of one 2,000-gallon HVO/Diesel aboveground storage tank in place of the previously approved 1,000-gallon HVO/Diesel aboveground storage tank, in the Planned Industrial (PI) Zoning District. All other previously approved site improvements and conditions of the Conditional Use Permit will remain unchanged.
In the previous application, there was an approved conditional use permit for the installation of exterior fluid and fuel storage tanks on the property located at 304 Lundin Boulevard. The previously proposed use of the property included unenclosed storage of materials, products, equipment, and exterior fuel storage tanks.
The site was previously utilized as a multi-tenant industrial facility. With one tenant relocating, the applicant intends to occupy the entire building. Rolls-Royce Solutions America, Inc. plans to use the building for the assembly of low-power range (LPR) engine-generator sets, marketed under the “mtu, A Rolls-Royce Solution” brand. Three above-ground storage tanks are proposed for the site. An existing 1,000-pound liquid propane tank will remain in place. A 200-gallon diesel fuel tank will be relocated to the Southwest corner of the site near the new access drive, and a new 2,000-gallon split diesel/HVO tank with pump will be installed north of the building. The applicant has indicated that all tanks will be double-walled, self-contained units, thereby meeting Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and City requirements without the need for additional spill-containment features. Cut sheets for the tanks will be required prior to issuance of a building permit, and notification of installation must be submitted to the MPCA. The applicant has also acknowledged that fire permits and any additional required permits will be obtained. If onsite fueling of vehicles occurs, the transfer area must comply with MPCA standards.
