Thank you for that introduction. Uh yes, today I'm going to briefly talk about the application for a conditional use permit to allow a cannabis micro business at 3200 Highway 13 West by Cannabis Connoisseur Company. These two images are images of the subject property. The left hand side is an aerial image of the subject property highlighted in a red border. The right hand image is a zoning map of the subject property. The subject property and surrounding properties to the west or to the north, west, and east are all zone GIH gateway industrial heavy and guided as MRQ Minnesota River quadrant in the 2040 comprehensive plan. Directly south is Highway 13 West. Um, yep. Um, Cannabis Connoisseur Company is seeking a conditional use permit approval to allow cannabis micro business at 3 3200 Highway 13 West. The property is currently zoned as GIH District and within that district, cannabis micro businesses are listed as a conditional use. Micro businesses are defined as a person entity um le licensed under Minnesota statutes chapter 342 to cultivate manufacture and sell cannabis products and related supplies to perform other activities authorized by the license. Cannabis connoisseur company is proposing only to be doing cannabate cultivation and manufacturing with no retail components or features. The purpose of the conditional use permit is to evaluate the use and the location since it is heavily regulated by the state. They would occupy 9,800 square ft of space in the central portion of the building directly west of Chillwater Cannabis Company or cannabis shop, excuse me. Most improvements will be interior to the site, but there will be minor exterior improvements. These improvements consist of a rear a new

rear employee entrance and filling the east and west side doors and adding three to four parking stalls and replacing the exterior doors with secure doors and locking mechanisms. The planning commission previously approved Chillwater Cannabis Shop um I think it was two meetings ago now and at the time Rootkind Holdings LLC had a purchase agreement in place to purchase the property. After further deliberation and consideration, Rootkind Holdings has withdrawn their purchase agreement. Um, and the current property owner, Vern Equity LLC, will remain ownership of that property. Um, the current property owner does not have any plans to actively seek any other cannabis users. Um, at this time, they only plan to allow these two cannabis tenants, the previous Chill Water Cannabis Shop and Cannabis Connoisseur Company. uh the chill water cannabis company or chill water shop and the cannabis connoisseur company would require two separate conditional use permits. This is because of the requirements by the office of cannabis management also known as OCM um which evaluates each application separately and a blanket cup would not be allowed because it would prevent the staff from uh scrutinizing and reviewing each project separately. The property was built in 1969 and was most most recently platted in 2006 as Burnsville Sports Center. Uh it consists of two lots, the subject property and Yamaha Golf Cars which is directly west of the subject site. Uh this specific property has had several conditional use permits over the years. These conditional use permits are related to uh opal open sales, storage of new and used motor vehicles, uh sale of building materials, and furniture sales with a showroom. Um, however, I would like to mention conditional use permits become void after 6 months of discontinued use. In 2023, the Minnesota legislature

passed Minnesota statute 342 and amended it in 2024 to allow adult cannabis use um which created the Office of Cannabis Management um going by the acronym of OCM, which o oversees cannabis licensing and enforcement. Cities were then given an opportunity to create ordinances that provided local regulations, compliance caps, and zoning buffers from schools, daycarees, and parks. Um, in regards to cannabis, um, cities were also allowed to dictate time, place, and manner restrictions as well. In 2024, Burnsville adopted ordinance number 1619, which created city city code ordinance 10753 titled adult use cannabis. And this is where we detailed each b type of cannabis business and then uses in which it is either listed as permitted, permitted, prohibited, or conditional. Uh, city council also provided direction and decided not to initiate any caps or buffers on cannabis u because it was seen similar to alcohol sales and other retail sales within the community. Uh and then specific to this request, it is a conditional use request. Um and cannabis connoisseur company received notification in May or June of last year um of their preliminary license approval. Uh they have 18 months to secure their location and meet building, state, and local ordinances. Um and this is the fourth conditional use permit request that the planning commission has seen so far in terms of uh cannabis conditional use permit approval. And the reason we've been seeing so many over the past few weeks or months or so is due to this 18-month deadline. Cannabis Connoisseur Company plans to begin construction sometime in March or April of this year. Um so fairly quick turnaround. Cultivation would likely begin in August of this year. Um with

first sellable product in January of next year. They would operate Monday through Sunday, 8 am to 8:00 pm, um, and have six employees on site. They would occupy 9,800 square feet of space in the central portion of that building. They will install a new rear entrance, which will be the north portion of the building, which will be acting as the primary entrance for employees. Um, adjacent to that area will be a drive-in loading area for authorized vehicles to unload product and take product. And the south entrance will have an emergency exit. Um, and there will also be a blackout film on the window of that exterior or the exterior window. Um, the interior rooms will mainly be focused on features such as drying, trimming, curing, storing, and packaging of cannabis, but there will also be rooms dedicated as flex room, sanitation, clean room, and a propagation room. The south half of the building will consist of four growing rooms, which will be used to grow cannabis to its maturity. The doors connecting to the neighboring units to the west and east side will be infilled uh due to the OCM's requirements um to create the OCM has requirements where you are allowed to have more than one cannabis business within a single building but it must but each unit must be distinct meaning it must have its own separate lease and address and it has to have demising walls. Um the applicant also specified there will be video surveillance, alarm system, key card and electronic locks for the for the building. Uh the HVAC system will control temperature and humidity without introducing outside air and each cultivation room will have duckless air handling unit to recirculate air and no mechanical pathways will direct air outdoors. Uh this is an image of the site plan. I had to move it on its side so that you could see more details of the actual plan itself. Um so the north side of the

property is on the right hand side and the southern portion of the building is on the left hand side. Um I just wanted to mention in this picture that um the four growing rooms are on the south side. So in this case on the leftand portion is most of the growing rooms um and the remainder of the building is on the northern portion. Um, in the front facade, there's a detail on there that says there will have a bullet resistant blackout film, and that is to provide is this for security purposes, and it will also uh screen cannabis from public view. Um, I'd also like to point out that there's a drive-in receiving area in the back. So, the right hand side, there's a loading area for those vehicles to unload and um take product. And this is an enclosed space, and that is not accessible to the public. and city code 10726 calculates the minimum number of parking stalls required for the site. Um this specific code section calculates parking stalls based on the use within the building and uh staff calculated this number and the applicant requires a minimum of 13 parking stalls for the site. Uh previously chill water cannabis shop staff calculated that they needed 18 stalls. That means that together a 31 stalls are required for this project. Um, Cannabis Connoisseur Company intends to add an additional three to four stalls to the north portion of their property near the new primary employee entrance. Um, so that will create a total of 42 to 43 parking stalls, which means that it will be um exceeding the minimum number of parking requirements for this project. Um the delivery vehicles will utilize the internal driveways to get to the property. They expect five to seven deliveries per week and these product or these deliveries will usually consist of things such as uh soil, nutrients, pots, and processing

materials. Um and common delivery vehicles will consist of cars, pickups, and small box fans. And these deliveries will occur from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. And unload time typically will take around 10 minutes. U cannabis connoisseur will not be transporting their own products um because they are not a licensed cannabis transportation company. Instead, they will hire a licensed transportation company to deliver all their products to licensed retailers for resale um or wholesalers. The applicant specified that they will have a dumpster on site, but they do not know the general location of where that dumpster will be located at this time. Um staff has made a condition in this report requiring that the dumpster must meet our screening requirements. Um the city code specifically states that the dumpster must be screened one of three ways. One of which is where it is screened um by having it screened on three sides of the private dumpster or it could be screened behind the principal structure or it can be screened by placing the dumpster within the principal structure or within an accessory structure. Um, Cannabis Connoisseur Company also is determining the potential HVAC system uh locations and may install VFRS on the west wall. Rooftop utility units must follow city code 10231E. Um, new rooftop utility units shall be screened from ground level view either through parapet walls, uh, pen houses or other architecturally integrated features. Um, and that condition has been added to this report. Um, just stating that rooftop utility units must meet city code requirements on screening. Um, the applicant also did mention that they will install a blackout film on the glass of the interior of the front facade for security purposes. Um, and the state does not explicitly require screening. However, it does inherently

require screening due to the strict security requirements that they have in place. Um the city code allows tinted windows but vinyl coated windows are considered window signage. Um window signage cannot cover more than 35% of the glass surface. Um however after looking at the plans um the proposed film is a security window film and not considered a vinyl coating um because it is a polyesterbased safety glass film. Um in other words the window signage requirements do not apply to this specific security window film. Um things to consider is that the proposal is a use request since much is regulated by the state. The project meets the findings for approval of a conditional use permit. The proposal meets the intent of the zoning ordinance and the comprehensive plan and meets Burnsville ordinance number 1619 of city code 10753. Staff recommends that the planning commission recommend to the city council the approval of the conditional use permit to allow cannabis connoisseur company to operate a cannabis micro business at 3200 Highway 13 West subject to the 13 conditions of approval. The subject or the project shall be completed in accordance with the submitted plans and is amended by these conditions of approval. Any significant changes to the plans as determined by the planning staff shall require review and approval by the planning commission and city council. Conditional use permit approval shall expire one year from the date of the city council approval unless building permit has been requested or the city council grants a time extension. The city council may extend the expiration date upon written application by the person to whom the approval was granted. The applicant shall complete pre-lic inspections and other necessary steps required by the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management to obtain a fully issued cannabis business license. Prior to the issuance of a building permit and local zoning approval, the tenant space shall assign a new address to reflect the suite addition. The cannabis micro

business shall notify the city, US Postal Service, and county GIS department of the address change. All private trash and trash and recyclable materials shall be screened in accordance with city code 10718B. All rooftop and mechanical equipment installed shall be screened in accordance with city code 10231E. Any exterior improvements besides the window covering shall use materials that match the existing building. Conditional use permit approval is contingent upon submitt of proof of valid preliminary and final licenses from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Cannabis Management prior to operation. The business shall maintain all required state licenses for the duration of the conditional use permit. All cannabis cultivation and manufacturing activities shall be fully contained within the principal structure. Uh no outdoor activities or storage are permitted. Uh failure to operate in compliance with Minnesota statutes and rules governing cannabis micro businesses shall be grounds for termination of the conditional use permit. The business shall implement odor suppression measures including but not limited to HVAC filtration, carbon scrubbers to prevent detectable odors beyond the property line. Uh and security measures shall be installed and maintained consistent with the office of cannabis management requirements and city code, including controlled access, exterior lighting, and surveillance cameras. With that, I will stand for any questions that the planning commission may have for me.

Questions? Yeah. So any external like the HVAC and security fencing is that the responsibility of the applicant or the property owner in terms of like screening for like the HVAC unit or or having the right HVAC system in place.

Yeah. So since this is a condition for the conditional use permit, it would be the responsibility of the applicant um being in compliance and they will also need a mechanical permit for when they submit the the HVAC plans. So that will be reviewed by our building department as well. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. In the previous application with a different proposed owner, you talked about cleanup of the site. Is that still in place?

They would still need to meet meet local ordinances, specifically nuisance ordinances as well. Um, that is something that we would still need to address and neighborhood services can address that as well. Okay, just to confirm, no signage permitting or anything being asked at this time. Nothing is being asked at this time. We did provide them information on signage requirements. Um, and they have not provided any signage plans at this time. If they do intend to change signage, they will need to submit a signed permit and then staff will review that. Thank you, Commissioner.

I'm just trying to get a picture in my head of what this building is going to look like. So, essentially, there'll be no signage on their section of the building, just blacked out windows and just they they can submit signage. They just haven't submitted any plans for that, but at this time it doesn't I haven't received any. So, it's just a building with blacked out windows at this point. Correct. Yeah.

Are there particular standards regarding the type of windows are that are be in place to avoid to reduce breakin possibilities? the I the city code doesn't have specific regulations at least for planning perspective on the type of window that they must use. Um the office of cannabis management may have something but that is something that regardless they will need to do a pre-licens inspection and they review plans as well. So that is maybe something that the office of canis cannabis management may look at. Okay,

any other questions? Okay. Going to open up the public hearing. Would the applicant like to come forward?

Hello planning commission. My name is N with Canvas Conor Company. I want to thank all you for spending the time with us and for having Kier and her team support us through this venture. So I just want to come up and introduce myself, let you know who I am and um the person behind all this. So thank you very much. Hi,

my name is Chris Pink and I'm outside compliance director for Cannabis Connoisseur and I just wanted to address a couple of the questions that were asked specifically about the glass. There are OCM requirements. Um, this property will actually have anti-break glass alarms. So, in addition to the security cameras that are monitoring it, there'll also be alarms that will trigger if there is a break in an entrance that will then be alerted directly to the owner and directly to law enforcement. Um, and they have ability to control it. So, there will be security cameras everywhere. There will be lighting covering it. Um, I jokingly tell people that these facilities in my 14 years of experience in the space are probably more secure than the banks in the community because of all of the alarms, all the doors, all the locks and everything. So, but I just wanted to address that question that the OCM does have requirements and we will we will be fully compliant.

Thank you. Yep. Any questions for the applicant? Okay. Is there anyone online to ask questions? Do not see anyone. Nothing. Okay. This closes the public hearing. Commissioners, any further discussion? So, one additional question that you can probably answer. The we talked about the odor suppression can't go beyond the property line. Mhm. Maybe I'm reading into this too far, but the property line meaning extending how manyever yards it is from the building or beyond the building there could be.

So that refers to the property line in front of the building. So it's like several feet in front of it. So kind of right before the parking lot or parking lot and then afterwards is kind of where that property line would be. It's not to the tenants space, it's to that property line. Do we know from any prior um facilities like grow operations etc. Do the odors actually emulate outside the building or they I mean what I'm thinking about is when you pull in that parking lot or on a windy day. Um what I'm trying to determine how far that odor goes. I mean, I'm not trying to direct the meeting here, but

Nick Hussein again. Um, so, so these rooms are completely sealed facilities. We use a material called IMP, which is a 4 in thick material. All seams are sealed and the full HVAC within the room is a sealed assembly. So, everything from a from a from an inside those rooms from a smell standpoint is scrubbed. And then all exterior rooms are scrubbed as well. So, so there's no ex expulsion of air within a room except in a catastrophic area. As an example, an HVAC system has an alarm that sets CO2 too high. That would be the only time a a diffuser would then expel air or apply fresh air into a room, but that is only in a catastrophic situation. Almost from a smell mitigation standpoint too, that is only within the flowering time. So as our as our cycles are that the smell is stronger there that's when the scrubbers are obviously working a little bit harder. But I want to be very clear nothing is exposed to the exterior of the building and in fact the grow rooms as well as any rooms that carry maturing plants those rooms are within additional rooms. So we're sealed within another room and then security measures just to kind of answer that as well. Um as Chris communicated with the cameras all the security doors on this are assigned to our cameras so we know who's going in which room. we're we're able to assign those, find out. Um, so from a security standpoint, extremely secure facility, kind of run like a lab. Um, to enter it as an employee, you're you're having to change your outfits and everything. So that same kind of thought process is done from the smell mitigation standpoint as well. So

thank you. Thank you, Mr. Long. Any other questions or comments? Very good. Do I have a motion on this? I can make a motion. Uh, I recommend to the city council the approval of the COP to allow Cannabis Connoisseur Company LLC to operate a cannabis micro business at 3200 Highway 13 West subject to the 13 conditions of approval. Is there a second? Commissioner Anderson. Okay, we have a motion. We have a second. All those in favor say I.

I opposed. Motion passes. Thank you. All right. The next one is for carba requesting a cup for up to five kils allow storage of materials and equipment in the flood fringe at 1020 cliff road. Thank you.

And also presenting Thank you for that introduction. Yes. Uh today we're going to talk about uh Carra Incorporated uh requesting conditional use permit to approve five kils on site and allow the storage of materials and equipment in the flood fringe at 1020 Cliff Road West. The lefth hand image is an aerial uh picture of the subject site. This is a image off of Kramer property. It's their northeastern portion of their property and the site itself where the equipment will be located is highlighted in this circled red area. And the right-h hand image is a zoning map of the subject site and the surrounding properties. The subject site is zoned I2GW General Industry District and Gateway District and is guided as MRQ Minnesota River Quadrant in the 2040 comprehensive plan. Properties to the north, west, and south are similarly zoned and guided. Um there are properties to the east and south that are highlighted in this darker blue color. And uh these properties are zoned as GIMGW which is Gateway Industrial Medium Gateway District but guided also MRQ. And uh those specifically properties directly to the east and south in that other blue color um indicate Ivy Brook Parking and also Commercial Asphalt Company. Uh directly east of the property is uh uh directly east is I35W. Carba is requesting two conditional use permits um permit approvals. One is to allow up to five kils on the site and the other request is to allow the storage of materials and equipment in the flood fringe. Uh they currently have a year-to-year lease with Kramer um located on the northeastern portion of their property. And they intend to produce biochar by heating uh and drying

wood chips. And this is completely all outdoors. Um and the current site is horizontally bisected by a flood fringe. Um when they make their biochar, they intend to send their final product to uh Burnsville sanitary landfill um for uh to sequester carbon and to mitigate landfill odors. Kramer Mining and Materials owns the subject priority and has received several approvals over the past several years. Most notably is approvals from 2003, which was a conditional use permit approval. um to grade and fill 40 acres of their flood fringe in the northeastern portion of their property, which is uh where Carba is currently located. Um and the site at the time ranged in elevations of 700 to 720 foot elevation. Um the flood fringe was about 717 ft. Um and the conditional use permit allowed Kramer to increase their elevation from uh or basically increase the elevation between 717 and 720 20 21 ft above the flood elevation. Therefore above the flood elevation itself. Um and before 2003 the site was used as a holding site um for rain events. Um, as such, Kramer paid the city to operate a mobile pump to force water um from nearby drainage ditch in high water conditions. Um, and this conditional use permit request is needed to separate the applicant's use from Kramer and also to prevent liability for the property owner. Uh, the first conditional use permit request is to allow kils on the site. Uh, a maximum of five kils on the property. The subject property is zoned I2 district. Um kils within that district are are listed as conditional uses. Uh kils, there will be a variety of

equipment on the site, one of which will be will be a kiln. Other equipment include things such as a storage trailer, rotary dryer, and stacking conveyor. All these equipment will be stored on top of a concrete pad, and a vegetative management company will deliver wood chips daily to the site. Um, and I'm just going to flip to this slide real quick just as I kind of briefly discuss the process of the actual um, biochar production. I'm going to provide a very high level overview and the applicant provide more detail about the actual process. Um, but just to briefly discuss this image, the lefth hand image is where I'm going to discuss the actual process and the righth hand image is just a site plan of where the equipment will be uh, situated and oriented. Um so how it will work is that the wood chips will be stored in a trailer and then it will be conveyed to a rotary dryer um and then transferred to a rotary kiln to create the biochar. Um and the operators will sample the biochar as it exits the rotary rotary for rotary kiln for quality. It is then cooled and missed and conveyed through a stacking conveyor and it's anticipated anticipated about 60 yards of biochar will be produced per day. The applicant will then transport the the product to Burnsville Sanitary Landfill um for purposes to as mentioned earlier sequester carbon, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate landfill odors. Um carbon intends to start with one kil um for their project and as they continue on there's potential for increasing to an additional four kils on site for a total of five kils. Uh they don't anticipate any significant noise will be produced on site. Um considering that the rotary dryer and uh kiln have a 9 in thick exterior and it's will likely not be louder than any ambient industrial noise to the surrounding

areas and likely not louder than traffic along Interstate 35W. There's potential for some odor to emit from the site and this will likely be a woody or smoky scent. Um, but this order will not surpass the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies or also known as the MPCA. Um, will not surpass their odor emission thresholds or Burnsville's nuisance codes. Excuse me. The applicant did speak with the MPCA and the MPCA determined that KRBA will operate below their thresholds. um for their own due diligence, Carba did reach out to them and ask or requested what's called an applicability determination report, also known as an ADR, um for their own um for their own records. And that is basically uh a formal MPCA review um to determine applicable state or federal air permitting requirements. Um and MPCA will complete this within the calendar year. The second request for the conditional use permit is to allow the storage of materials within the flood fringe. Um this within but why looking at the website of FEMA's mapping website the most current FEMA map is from 2011 of the subject site and it shows that the where carb will be located is in a flood fringe. Um, we did request carbon to submit a site survey and they did provide that to us and staff reviewed it and provided it to Lower Min as well, lower Minnesota River watershed district um, and determined that it is above the 100-year flood elevation. However, anytime municipalities review flood plane permits or projects, we always review it based on the FEMA, the current FEMA map. Um, and which is the reason for this conditional use permit request. Um and most equipment on site will not be easily removable. Um however, there are some things such as the trailers and the trucks will be easy be easily removable within a day. However, this is

not a large concern that it is above the 100year flood elevation. And staff did meet with Kramer to discuss this application and tell them or notify them that the FEMA maps are not up to date despite the 2003 approvals. Um and staff encourage them in their basically in their best interest for improving their flood insurance and also if they intend to redevelop their northeastern portion of their site um where KRBA is or in that general area it's in their own best interest to do what's called a letter of map revision also known as a lomar and this is um basically to update the flood hazard information and prevent discrepancies in the field map. Uh staff have added this as a condition to the report. Um and we did ask Kramer beforehand if this was an appropriate condition, if this was something they were amenable to, and they agreed that it would be uh they had spoken with their legal team and agreed that this was a good thing to um to do. And it sounds like they've just started doing some of the surveying work. The site is located in the drinking water protection environmental overlay zone. Um and staff does not anticipate any impacts to the water resources. Um the kils will be installed on a concrete pad which will prevent from prevent oil soil infiltration and carba does not expect any leaks of the rotary kiln because it would introducing oxygen to the mechanism would substantially prevent the efficiency of the production of the biochar and molten salt within the the mechanism cools and solidifies at 446 fah. height and once it's solidified, it will not permeate into soils. And if it did get um if it did have a potential leak, the molten salt is non-toxic and it is not reactive to

water. Um carba also confirmed that the site has a secondary containment mechanism for potential for potential spills. U we did provide plans to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and also um lower Minnesota River wershed district and um they did provide some comment about this as well and it can be seen in the report but to summarize the DNR stated that the primary concern is ensuring that no materials are stored in the flood plane are prohibited prohibited pollutants and runoff shall be shall go to a storm water management system or direct away from the flood plane. Um staff did require that they install a burm a burm to to be incorporated to prevent runoff and spills from reaching the surface water. Um after further analysis staff also decided that it does not trigger additional storm water management requirements. Um and then after staff or staff also provided these plans to lower Minnesota river lower Minnesota river wershed district and they stated that a rule C permit would be needed if land is filled or altered below the 100year flood elevation. um lower Minnesota u lowermen recommended that Kramer complete what's called a lower a letter of Minnesota excuse me a letter of map provision with FEMA or the DNR for area requiring updates. There will be a gravel compacted area for employees to park on site. They anticipate having two to three vehicles parked at the site. These will be personal vehicles and uh these vehicles will be able to access the property either by accessing Embassy Road or Cliff Road West using the site's internal gravel driveways. And the vegetative management company will provide 100 yards of wood chips per day. Carba will transport the biochar to Burnsville sanitary landfill every two weeks with a company trailer. And the day that they do that every two weeks

would be about a four to six times that day through using the private roadways. The applicant did state that they will have one dumpster on site, but the dumpster will um will be significantly screened due to the existing vegetation on the site. The site was selected partly due to um heavy vegetation in that area and away from major roadways. Um all the waste that will be in the dumpster will all be related to office and packaging waste and will not include any equip any waste produced by the equipment. Uh the dumpster will be collected once a month um by a hauler. Staff recommends that the planning commission recommend to the city council approval of the conditional use permit to allows up to five kils and allow the storage of materials and equipment in the flood fringe at 1020 Cliff Road West. Subject to the 12 conditions of approval. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to the plans as determined by the planning staff shall require review and approval by the plan commission and city council. The project shall comply with all applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including not limited to MPCA's regulations and building and fire codes. Kramer mining and materials shall submit a letter of map revision to FEMA within the calendar year of the city council of the city council date. Conditional use permit approval shall expire one year from the date of the city council approval unless a building permit has been requested or a time extension has been granted by the city council. The city council may extend the expiration date of such approval upon written application by the person to whom the the approval was granted. The site shall be maintained in a neat and orderly manner. No outdoor storage shall result in debris, dust, or materials encroaching into neighboring properties. No more than five kils shall be permitted for this proposed project in accordance with the conditional use

permit. Additional kils shall require an amendment to this conditional use permit. The project shall act in accordance with the city's noise standards. If the city receives numerous complaints, a noise study may be required and mitigation measures shall be implemented if necessary. The project shall comply with MTCA's odor regulations on the city's nuisance codes. If the city receives several complaints, the applicant shall take corrective measures uh to resolve the issue in a timely manner. Any new exterior lighting shall be downward directed and meet city code 10736. The project shall not have hazardous or environmentally detrimental materials or pollutants on site. This approval shall run with the land but applies specifically to the biochar production facility. Failure to comply with the conditions of this approval may result in review of or rec or refusal risk of refusal of the conditional use permit in accordance with the city code. With that, I will turn it over to the planning commission for any questions that you may have.

Thank you very much for a very detailed presentation. All right, commissioners. Go ahead, Holly. Uh, yeah, excellent presentation. Thank you. Um, this is kind of a maybe kind of a weird uh question, but uh uh um uh number three, the the condition number three is that Kramer Mining and Materials shall submit a letter of map revision, but they're not the applicant. you know, they're they're the is it because they're the essentially the land landlord in this process that uh that you know how do we enforce that since they're not the Kramer Mining is not at the table here? They're not the applicant, right?

Yeah. Yeah. No, that's a good question. So we did that like we provided this condition because this was something that Lower Minnesota River Watershed District highly encouraged that we pursue and we did have conversations with Kramer to ask them if this was an appropriate condition to add and they did agree to that. Um I understand that is is confusing to have that as a condition but after kind of speaking with staff it was my understanding that this is not something that Karpa would be responsible for completing. This is something that the property owner would be responsible for um for satisfying. Thank you. Any other questions, Commissioner?

Uh any discussions or concerns about traffic patterns within the area with the addition of this? We staff has been speaking closely with the applicant and um numerous departments have been in constant conversation, fire department, building department, planning. Um, we didn't see any issues with traffic. Um, it doesn't seem like it will add substantial amount of traffic considering that it would be once a once a day it would have a hauler coming and providing the wood chips and then every two weeks they would only be going to Burnsville Sanitary Landfill about four to five times that day. So, it's not that high compared to some of their adjacent industrial neighbors.

Okay. Commissioner. Um, the city engineer reviewed these plans as well and did not have any concerns regarding traffic abuse as a result of the operation.

Thank you. Any other questions? Okay. Open up the public hearing. Does the is the applicant here? Uh, good evening, um, council members. My name is Rich Baker. I'm the, uh, chief operating officer and the system engineer for this project. So, I've done most of the design on this. Happy to answer any questions. And this is Hannah Cheeseman.

Hi, I'm Hannah Cheeseman. I'm the project engineer for this project. Um, been working closely with Kira on this for a while, but happy to answer any questions you guys have or clarify anything. Oh, go ahead, Commissioner Anderson. Is this still an experimental process or is it been proven that it works to mitigate the order?

Um, so the process of making biochar is u pretty well established. There are a number of many facilities doing it. We have a maybe a slightly different approach. Um that we have a completely sealed kiln that's anoxic. Um the material that we produce um is used as cover and so it's mixed with the soil and then used for cover at the landfill. Um it is shown to absorb methane and some other chemicals. I don't know that um if that's answering your question or not. Sounds like it's been used.

It It has. I think this is the maybe the first time it's been used directly into the landfill as a cover as an alternative for soil. Any other questions? That covered my question as well. Thank you. I do have one question. I I think I know the answer to this because it sounds like the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has already addressed it, but the odors and the smoke that is coming from the kils um I don't know what their uh regulations are, I guess. But will there be smoke that can make it to the freeway or is that not possible?

Uh there should not be. You know, if you had an excursion where something ran incorrectly, it could. But otherwise, we should be burning all of the gases that come out of the wood, but not the wood itself, not the carbon in the wood. We're trying to recover, you know, save that for the landfill. And the smell would be like um it's a it's the recipe for um liquid smoke if you bubble that through water. And so that's the smell that you would get if you had any it would beat the landfill smell. So I guess that's good. Okay. Any other questions? Okay. Anything on Zoom or

Don't see any. No questions. Okay. That closes the public hearing. Okay. Commissioners, any additional conversation or comments? Okay. All right. Is there a motion? Commissioner Anderson, I move that the planning commission recommend to the city of council approval of the conditional use permit to allow up to five kils and allow storage of materials and equipment in the flood fringe at 1020 Cliff Road West subject to the conditions listed. I'll second that motion. Second. All right. All those in favor say I. I.

Opposed? Motion carries. All right. Next on the list, applicant for Quick Trip. Yeah, good evening, Mr. Chair, members of the commission. Uh, great to be with you this evening. As uh Mr. Chair mentioned, the application before you is a public hearing for a quick trip development. The subject site is located at the in the within the northeast quadrant of the city, uh, more specifically at the southeast intersection of Highway 13 and Diffly Road. The subject site before you does consist of two parcels currently. The applicant would be proposing to plat those and combine those into one parcel. Bordering the site on the west is Highway 13. To the north is Diffly Road. South is the Rivers Retirement Community and to the east is the city of Egan. I will note um within the city of Egan there is a 67 acre parcel as shown on screen before you that will be part of the development plans that we'll discuss in depth. And then to the east of that is um the METAF site if you're familiar and there is currently approvals within the city of Egan for META Park which is a residential development. So just to provide that background to the comm uh commission uh background and history related to the subject site before you. Um again there are two sites. The southern site was developed in 1965 um with the Riverview Shopping Center and in addition was constructed in 1971. The northern site um gained original approvals in 1962 for a motor fuel station and a cup was issued for a car

wash in 1968. In 1986 for the northern lot um a variance was granted. Um the hardship was related to intersection improvements and the Minnesota Department of Transportation which required additional right ofway and that is now that 67 acre parcel that I mentioned um within the kind of site image and that's currently located within the city of Egan and owned by the city of Egan as well. Additional approvals for the northern site were granted between 1986 to 1992 for various site improvements. In June of 2023, approvals were granted for a new car wash, as some commissioners might remember. However, um the approvals for that application did expire and the applicant did not record the plat or move forward with the approved development plans. In July of 2023, um demolition of the northern site was completed, including the car wash, the fuel station, and the underground tanks. And then demo of the Riverview Shopping Center was completed recently in August of 2025. As a result, the site is now vacant and ready for redevelopment. The first application before the commission is a preliminary and final plat again to combine the two subject sites into one parcel. I'll highlight two um items before the commission that are unique to um the application before you. The first is a 20ft roadway easement that exists along the western property line and the second is that 67 acre parcel currently owned by the city of Egan. Uh firstly, the 20 foot roadway easement is highlighted or shaded in gray on screen before you. It runs the entire length of the western property line and actually continues um through the property to the south, the river's retirement community and um is the access off of Highway 13 to the subject site. The easement was originally created in 1950 and was platted in 1964 as a part of the River Hill 7th edition plat. Uh details of the easement including any maintenance terms are unknown as um staff, the attorney and the applicant

have researched this um quite in depth but haven't been able to locate any um specific details um really due to the age of the document dating back to the 1950s. Um Quicktrip is proposing access within this roadway easement area. However, the access proposed is 24 feet in width. So wider than the 20 foot easement. As a result, there is a condition of approval that requires QuickRip to either um record a new easement that allows for the width or to narrow the roadway width to or the access width to 20 ft to be within that easement area. Um and in addition within the condition um of approval in your packets, it does include maintenance agreement requirements with the property owner to the south as the access would cross property lines. The second item is the um parcel within the city of Egan that's highlighted in yellow or orange on screen before you. Um that parcel was originally created related to um Mandot intersection improvements at Highway 13 and Diffy Road. Um to note within the legal documents for that parcel, it does state that the parcel is to be used for roadway purposes only. As a result, the city of Egan is working with the state to remove that language which would then allow Quick Trip to purchase the parcel and utilize that as a site access um to the subject site with access off of Diffly Road. there's a condition of approval requiring um QuickRip to show full ownership prior to recording of the final plat for that parcel. The second application before this evening is a conditional use permit for the motor fuel station and accessory car wash which is required within the mixeduse zoning district. Um ordinance does have specific requirements for motor fuel stations and car washes within the mixeduse district which are listed on screen before you. The applicant is meeting all of these except for the fuel canopy setback to the eastern property line um which we'll discuss in a few slides. The proposed site plan is shown on screen before you. Um we'll just walk

through it briefly. Two accesses are proposed which are um outlined in red. Firstly, the highway um 13 access is proposed and to remain in the same location. We'll note that the applicant did submit um presubmitt plans to the Minnesota Department of Transportation to ensure the access can remain. Mandot did reply with the letter and stated that the access can remain provided a right turn out is um constructed or included. So the applicant um would be required to construct a right out movement. So this would become a rightin and a right out access on Highway 13. The second access is located off of Diffly Road um and is proposed to be a full access um similar to what's existing today or what was existing when the site was um utilized or developed. There is an access existing um today to the west which is right here. That access would be removed and then solded or landscaped um in accordance with the landscape plan. Within the central portion of the site shortened in yellow is the convenience store that's proposed. This is Quick Trip's generation 3 model, which is the most recent and current um Quick Trip store that they are building. It's approximately 9100 square feet and does include outdoor patio seating um and tables within the site. Um there'd be the same goods as other quick trip sites throughout the region um for sale, including hot and cold food, fresh produce, grocery items um and various bakery items. Uh the fueling area is shown in orange on screen consists of 10 pumps and 20 fueling positions. Um both diesel and gasoline sales are proposed. Uh the car wash is shown in red on screen um and is proposed to be approximately 1,700 square ft. This would be a tunnel car wash system or in layman's terms like a conveyor belt system where cars are constantly flowing through it. Not one where you stop and wait for three or five minutes. Um so again a tunnel system for that car wash at the moment. Um, six stacking spaces are provided as well as a bypass lane.

Um, provided a vehicle would want to bail out of the, um, stacking area. Um, to note, um, adjacent to the building is the proposed trash enclosure. Um, walls would be connected to the principal structure, um, and would be similar materials, same materials as the principal structure. Northern portion of the site is proposed for storm water ponding um, and would meet applicable requirements per um, engineering standards. The applicant has requested a planned unit development. Um, as the commission knows and is aware, a PUD is used to deviate from ordinance requirements and in this case to develop a um, challenging property which is really due to the shape and the mun municipal boundary with the city of Egan um, running through the middle of the project or a portion of the project. There are four um, deviations requested. Uh, the first three that are listed, the parking setback, landscaped yard and fuel canopy setback. um would not be required if that point 767 acre parcel in Egan was located within the city of Burnsville. So on screen before you um again that parcel is shown and the municipal boundary is shown within the table. Um you can see the setback from the municipal boundary which is the Burnsville line. So from the red um these three do not meet that requirement. However, if you measured from the eastern property line of the Egan parcel they would meet that requirement. The fourth um and final deviation requested is for parking stalls. The applicant is requesting a deviation of eight stalls um which is based on vehicle turnover which does occur at a high rate within um fuel stations and the floor area calculation utilized by the applicant versus the city. Um the applicant utilizes a um parking ratio based on actual retail area of the building. Um while city code bases it off of the entire square footage of the building minus 25% which is intended to account for bathrooms, utility rooms, mechanical rooms and the like. Um in

this case the calculations um differed by the eight stalls. Um however the applicant is intending to meet the ordinance requirements um but is proposing to utilize their calculation which is based off strictly the retail area where customers are actually um functioning I guess or mostly um visiting within the store. Um the development review committee of the city did review this and had no concerns as the um parking does align with other motor fuel station sites that have been developed throughout the city. Um as mentioned um applicants proposing a total of 61 stalls and I'll also just note that overflow parking opportunities um temporarily are provided along this eastern side of the building. um you know, if there's a peak time where there's a ton of vehicles for a major event or something, um they could temporarily park here while they visit the store. Um something of the like. Um in terms of parking, um the parking site plan is on screen. The applicant um has proposed a total of 61 stalls. 38 are standard vehicle parking stalls, which are shown in yellow on screen before you. Um three of them are ADA accessible and 20 stalls are accounted for via the fuel pump area which is allowed by um the parking code in the city code to count towards the overall parking um stall count. The applicant is proposing a total of six um stacking spaces for the car wash. Um code requires a minimum of four. So the applicant is exceeding that and they are proposing a bypass lane here in case again vehicles do want to bail out. A dedicated delivery delivery area is proposed along the eastern wall of the building that would be painted and striped accordingly. Um and you can see the circulation movements for larger vehicles. It's a very easy uh maneuver for them to make. Terms of architecture, um the applicant is meeting code requirements. Um they're proposing the exterior exterior materials that are listed on screen. Um

I will note code does require that a minimum of three design elements are met. Um the applicant is um meeting four of them with their proposal. Uh the proposed u convenience store is shown on screen before you again utilizing um the red brick, the stucco and the metal roof. Um I will highlight the trash enclosure is shown here which again is connected to the building. Same materials and would include a gate um to fully screen and then patio seating can be seen um along the building here. The car wash is sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh shown on screen before you. Um again matching materials to the principal structure and the fuel canopy is shown on screen. I will note that the applicant has proposed um half brick wrapped columns um which does exceed code requirements as there aren't any for material requirements on the actual supporting structure for the canopy. Terms of landscaping, the applicant has submitted a detailed landscape plan um which does meet ordinance requirements. Um the number of plantings are shown on screen before you. We'll note um there's a buffer that's proposed along Highway 13 and the southern property line as required by code. And um there is a condition that requires a final landscape plan be approved by planning staff and includes plantings along that eastern boundary of the city of Egan. Um per Egan's request um plantings were requested to screen headlights um from that residential um development to the east. Landscaping plan is shown on screen. The western image shows the overall site. Eastern image zooms into um the main portion of the site. I'll say um again the buffers along Highway 13 as well as that southern property line. I'll note that the applicant um did put a lot of effort into ensuring the proposed um plantings and actual plants on site would screen headlights year round recognizing the community to the south as well as the delivery area here where trucks would likely have their headlights pointing. Um the plants would be at a height that does screen the

taller vehicles um year round sufficiently. Terms of planning considerations um the application does meet the requirements of the city code. Motor fuel stations and accessory car washes are allowed with a conditional use permit. The applicant has made efforts to minimize adverse impacts to surrounding properties. Um the proposal does align with the 2040 comprehensive plan and meets the intent of the zoning ordinance as well. The recommendation is on screen before you. Um I will also note u one of the recommendations number four is to terminate existing conditional use permits and variances. That is just to clean up the subject site. Um there's a lot of old approval sitting out there dating back to the 60s. So, just starts with a clean slate um and resets things moving forward with the redevelopment project. Um for conditions of approval, the site shall be platted with the Dakota County Recorders Office prior to the issuance of any building permits. Prior to the issuance of the final plat for recording, the applicant shall pay applicable development fees. Prior to the release of the final plat for recording, the applicant shall coordinate with the property owner to the south to either revise the easement width restrictions to accommodate the proposed roadway dimensions or adjust the roadway accordingly. Prior to the release of the final plat for recording, the applicant shall demonstrate full ownership of the 67 acre parcel located immediately east of the subject site within the city of Egan. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, all outstanding items from the February 27th, 2026 city engineer review memo shall be addressed to the satisfaction of the city engineer. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall address and incorporate all applicable comments from thirdparty agencies. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall provide required securities for landscaping by 2 minutes paving and concrete curb and gutter. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall revise the landscape plan to provide screening on the 67 acre parcel located within the city of Egan. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, a final landscape plan

should be approved by planning staff in writing. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, a maintenance agreement or similar agreement between the applicant and the property owner to the south for the shared access road from Highway 13 shall be fully executed and recorded with the Dakota County Recorders Office. A copy of that agreement shall be submitted to the city. If repeat nuisance complaints are received regarding site operations um such as deliveries, noise, car wash hours of operation and the like, the applicant shall work with city staff to resolve the complaints to the satisfaction of the city. The car wash bay doors shall remain closed at all times except when a vehicle is actively entering or exiting the bay or when the bay doors are open for active maintenance. The applicant shall maintain landscaping to the edge of the curb on adjacent roadways. In the event the property owner to the south seeks a trail connection to the subject site, the applicant shall provide a reasonable location and opportunity for such a connection subject to review and approval by city staff. And prior to the installation of any on-site signage, a signed permit shall be obtained by the applicant. With that, I'll leave the recommendation on screen um available for questions and the applicant is in attendance as well.

All right. Great presentation. Thank you. Any questions from commissioners? Commissioner Howlet? Um, thank you. I do have a question. Uh, condition number four, prior to the release of the final plat for recording, the applicant shall de demonstrate full ownership of the parcel that's now part of Egan. Any idea on what the timing for that is? Because just in terms of process, you can't get a building permit until the plat has been recorded, right? Um, so timing.

Yeah, that's correct. Um, Commissioner Wad, that's correct. Um, the intent of this is just to ensure before, you know, the final plaque goes for recording and anything is official. Um, because that outlaw is included within the platted area. We want to ensure that the applicant owns that area as well. I I totally get it. I'm just wondering, do you have a sense for what the timing of that process is? because this the state has to let the road go and then Egan has to let it go and there's a lot of hoops hoops to jump through there. That's correct. It's a detailed process. Egan actually had to sue the state to get the language removed and is working through that process. But um that's expected to be completed within the next 50 days. Oh

and then after that they'd be able to move forward with purchasing that parcel. Um and I believe the city of Egan might require platting of that within their city. Um but the applicant would proceed with Egan on those items. Okay. Thank you. questions.

Kind of a traffic question. The the mall that was there previously, did they have a right turn out of that mall or did they have to how did they get out? The reason I'm asking, well, it looks like you're going to pull up the map probably the So, I have two two concerns. Um, are we adding a new right turn on to 13 that wasn't previously there? And I'd be curious what the traffic engineer or if they've taken a look at that because I know at Nicollet we've had problems and now we're adding a a new problem. So that's one question I have is if it was there before or not. And then the second question I have is when the cars are coming in, it almost looks like for instance today I was at the quick trip at 5 and 136th and the stack for the car wash is probably 10 to 12 cars deep. Is that going to interfere with the right turn in because it looks like the cars are going to be stacking if they overflow out of that stacking lane. It looks like they're going to be in the entrance lane. I'm wondering if that's been addressed at all.

Yeah, Commissioner Long. Um first related to Highway 13. Um I don't believe there's a right out currently. There was a right in um as that access is currently there. So the new portion on Highway 13 would be a right out um which is being required by U MINDOT as a part of their review. Um in terms of traffic review, um the city engineer didn't have any concerns with that. um believes that that access will provide sufficient traffic levels and uh Mandot also reviewed um for State Highway 13 and um doesn't find any concerns with the traffic volume on that road or location access with the right out as they're requiring it. Um related to internal site circulation, um staff is um had a lot of conversations with Quicktrip and internally on um just how the site flows overall. Um firstly with the car wash because this is a tunnel car wash system. Cars are constantly flowing through that. So you know huge you know kind of stacking um issue isn't necessarily anticipated because of the car wash style. But um also this roadway width or access width is 30 feet. So a standard one is about 24 ft. So the applicant's kind of taking into account you know say on you know a peak event after a snowstorm or what have you. um vehicles could, you know, wrap around here or I guess even here and um there'd be enough width there to support a couple extra or the width of that vehicle. I still have a concern about that right turn out based on the the accidents that we've had on 13 over the years, including I mean all the way that whole stretch and I just I understand MDOT required it and it's not the applicant's fault. It just seems to not make any sense to me. But

Commissioner Anderson, going to that, I've used that access both in and out and people could go out today even if it's not set up for that. Okay.

And didn't they don't they have to put a lane in someplace that for for people turning out so there's some buffer? I believe that's correct. Currently, um the access width right now would be the same as Quick Trip's proposing, so wider than that easement. Um so it would support kind of two-way traffic right now, even though that's not necessarily the intent. Um Quick Trip would be required to put that right turn out. Um if that's what Okay. Has Egan provided their input on this total project? Yeah, Commissioner Hamilton. Um, we've been working closely with the city of Egan. Um, we did send the, um, entire submitt to City of Egan when we received it. Um, the only comment we received was related to ensuring screening along that eastern um, property boundary for headlights. Um, otherwise, they didn't have any concerns at this.

There's another question. Um, is it allowed or is there space for semi parking perhaps just for overnight or anything? No, Commissioner Hamilton, that's not the intent of the site. Um, it would only be for fuel deliveries um for the fuel pumps, but no room or Yeah, wouldn't be permitted, I guess, on site.

Very good. Okay, any other questions? All right, I'll open up the public hearing. Is there anyone from QuickTrip who would like to come forward? Hi everybody. Um, so Dean George here on behalf of Quick Trip. Thank you for having us. This will be our I don't know third site. I always want to say four, but I think the one down on Chris Lake Road is technically in Apple Valley or Lakeville. Um, let's clear up some things on the site design. So I think the access on to highway 13 is we have to install a right turn lane in off of 13 and then the right out is being allowed by MDOT. So I don't think there's a right turn lane out. We're just going to utilize the existing access that's there but MDOT wants us to construct a turn lane to enter. So it's the kind of so you're not just kind of slowing down in the right lane to make that right in. So there'll be a separate lane coming into the driveway which I think maybe helps clear up some issues there. Um, Mindot did, I believe, look at it and is allowing the right in right out movement, which I think is what's there today because there's a full meeting running up 13. Um, on the car wash thing, so the tunnel wash is a new system compared to store 585 over on five in Burnsville Parkway. Um, it's allowed, it's intended to increase throughput. So, we can serve it's tech if double I suppose is what we say. So, a tunnel wash can get two times the amount of cars as a single bay wash can. So if you have, you know, six or seven cars stacked, it takes the amount of time to get them through as you normally would for three. So if we can provide six stacking spaces, it's we generally are comfortable that this stacking is not going to bleed into that drive aisle. Um if there's any other questions, I'll be glad to answer them. Um anecdotally, I sat at this podium seven years ago and dealt with the planning body and the council body on the store that that uh on five Burnsville Parkway and it was a very enjoyable experience for me. So, we're happy to be back in Burnsville.

I have a question. Yes, sir. Just out of curiosity, how does this footprint compared to the footprint at five and 136? The 5 and 136th store is our generation 2 model. Okay. Um, so that's about a 7200 foot store. This one's 9100. The retail floor space is largely the same. And we just have a little bit more back office, a little more cooler space, a little more storage space in all of our Gen 3 builds. And the kitchen's a little bit larger. You know, our hot food program has gotten a little bit more expansive over the years. So, there's a little bit extra space in the kitchen for our co-workers to work.

Any questions? Is there anyone on Zoom or anyone to ask questions? Doesn't look like anyone trying. Okay. All right. With that, I'll close the public hearing. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right. Any other discussion? Yes, sir. I just want to say it seems like a great project and it'll be nice to have uh something developed uh you know and new at that corner. It's been uh been kind of a kind of sad for the last several years. So, very excited about it. Commissioner Anderson, I had one other question. Have they cleaned up the underground tanks from the previous

Yeah, that's correct, Commissioner Anderson. those have been removed um in 2023 with the demo permit. Okay. Sir, I'd be happy to make a motion unless somebody else says I'd be happy if you made a motion.

Okay. So, uh I move that we recommend to the city council approval of the conditional use permit to allow a motor fuel facility and accessory freestanding car wash. Approval of the concept and concept and development stage planned unit development. Approval of the preliminary flat. Preliminary. I might have to bear with me here. Approval of the preliminary and final plant of Quick Trip 1952 and to terminate the existing conditional use permits and variances in effect of the subject site located southeast of the intersection of Highway 13 East and Diffly Road subject to the conditions that were listed.

Very good. Is there a second? Second. All those in favor say I. I. Opposed. None. Passed. All right. Thank you. All right. Any updates for the city?

Yes. Uh Mr. Vice Chair, commissioners, I do have three quick updates. Um council approved the cup for the community garden cannabis micro business uh located at 14300 Yuing Avenue South at the March 3rd meeting. They also heard a presentation from Chair Bradock uh on the planning commission's 2026 work plan which was unanimously approved by the council and who express gratitude for all of your work serving uh on this body. And then lastly, uh Mike mentioned it in passing at the last planning commission, but I would like to recognize uh Mr. Connor Jakes, who's not in here any longer, but uh has been promoted to senior planner with the city of Burnsville, and it's well earned. That's it. Any other update? That's it. I know we talked about setting up a tour of the new

uh Yes, that has been uh your request is received and um uh the administration is organizing a tour for all of our uh commissions. Okay. And I don't have the date in front of me. I want to say it's the 23rd, but I'll I'll provide that information to the planning commission tomorrow, but it is being arranged. Thank you. All right. Any other comments from the commission? All right. Is next is motion to adjurnn. Is there a motion to adjurnn? So move. Okay. Commissioner second. All those in favor say I. I. I. All right. Conor.
