(4) Norbert Bechtold — Conditional Use Permit
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The property located at 30171 County Road 2 is included in the
Orderly Annexation Agreement between the City of St. Joseph and St. Joseph Township. December 2010
the City and Township of St. Joseph executed an amendment the Orderly Annexation Agreement that
changed the manner in which land use applications are considered. This hearing notice was originally
sent by Stearns County as a hearing to be held before the County Planning Commission, but was canceled
as the subject property is in the Orderly Annexation Area.
Norbert Bechtold is requesting a conditional use permit to replace three (3) confinement barns and replace
with two (2) new facilities, abandon an open lot, construct a slurry and increase the animal county from
current 324.1 to 326. The Stearns County staff has reviewed the application and indicated that the
requested meets the requirements of the Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan. In addition the matter has
been reviewed by the Wetland staff and the feedlot committee who both have supported the approval.
The staff at Stearns County has also stated that there is not an impact to the CR 2 Improvement project. I
am waiting for confirmation from the Engineering staff.

asked if feedlot run -off was being addressed and commented that Stearns County
Soil & Water Conservation District has worked with the family for ten years and that
nothing had been done until now, he's glad something was being done. Dale Walz
also stated that north of the river there is a large feedlot & asked if that was being
addressed. Allison Remer stated that the applicant's have purchased another farm
to house the cattle that were located on the lot north of the river, the lot will be used
as pasture. Engineering plans for the slurry store were provided by Genex and the
engineering plans will be reviewed by the MPCA. The open lot runoff for the site is
being address by curbing, around open lots, a roofed structure over an existing open
lot and the proposed slurry store. The applicant's have purchased another farm to
house the cattle that were located on the lot north of the river. Becky Von Holdt
suggested that the Feedlot review committee recommend placing a condition that
the north lot be maintained as pasture.
Earl Udermann asked about a proposed county road that is to go through the
property, he had heard that the project is supposed to be done in 2012. Dale Walz
agreed that the road issue should be addressed. Allison Remer stated that the
proposed changes to the site would not further encroach the proposed road.
Craig Roerick asked how big slurry storage is and asked about the capacity of the
slurry store. Allison Remer stated that the proposed slurry store is a 81' diameter x
19' high, and that the storage will be addressed by the MPCA in their review. Becky
VonHoldt mentioned that a condition was placed in a previous site's application that
a berm be placed around the slurry store as added insurance. Allison Remer also
stated that wetland staff had reviewed the slurry store location, with no concerns.
Dale Walz stated they never applied for financial assistance for this. Mike Wehlage
asked if a letter has been issued regarding compliance. Becky Von Holdt answered
that there was a t least one letter issued in the past and another letter would be
issued once compliance is verified. Dale Walz asked about stockpiling at the site.
Allison Remer stated that stockpiling is to be done on adequate soils and or on
registered open lots.
Dale asked if CUP's are subject to review by Environmental Services. Becky
VonHoldt replied that CUP's are subject to review and can be brought back to
Planning Commission if a site is not following the conditions placed.
A motion to bring the application to the Planning Commission & to proceed with staff
recommendations with the 2 conditions (pasture conditions for the lot north of the

VII. Animal Numbers and Animal Unit (AU) Calculation
If you have an existing facility, list the maximum number of animals held at any given time for each existing animal type in column 3
below. Next, multiply the AU Factor in column 2 by the number of animals listed in column 3 to get the Existing AU Capacity for each
animal type (column 4). Add the AU capacity numbers in column 4 for a total and enter the existing total at the bottom of the chart. If a
new facility is being proposed, leave columns 3 and 4 blank.
For both new and existing facilities, in column 5 list the proposed maximum number of animals that will be held at the facility at any
given time during the five year duration of the permit. Next, multiply the AU Factor in column 2 by the number of animals listed in
column 5 to get the Maximum AU Capacity for each animal type (column 6). Note: the number in column 5 should include existing
animals plus or minus any expansion or reduction in each animal type. Add the AU capacity numbers in column 6 for the Final AU
Total and enter the total at the bottom of column 6.

X. Manure Management L
The type of manure management plan required for your facility depends on whether you transfer ownership of your manure to another
person. Begin with part X.A. and follow the instructions to determine if you transfer ownership and which type of manure management
plan you need to complete.
A. Transferred Manure.
1. Answer questions 1.a. and 1.b. below to see if you (the feedlot owner /operator) transfer ownership of any of your manure.
a. Is all manure from your feedlot applied onto land that is owned, leased, or rented by yourself? Yes
If you answer "Yes" then you do not transfer ownership of your manure and you can move
on to Section X.B.
If you answer "No ", go to the next question (1.b.).
b. For all manure application sites not owned, leased or rented by the feedlot owner /operator,
have you (the feedlot owner /operator) or employees working under your direction been given
control of the field and nutrient planning decisions, including planning for nutrient rates,
timing and methods? Yes ❑
For fields where the answer is "Yes," ownership of manure is not transferred and you can
move on to item B (non- transferred ownership).
For fields where the answer is "No," manure ownership is considered to be transferred and
you must complete item 2, below.
2. If all or part of the ownership of your manure is transferred, complete items a. through c., below.
a. Approximately how much of your manure (in tons or gallons) has transferred ownership?
b. For all manure where ownership is transferred, complete the manure management plan
requirements as described in the MPCA guidelines "Manure Management Plan
Requirements when Ownership of Manure is Transferred ", which can be found at the
MPCA website at: http: / /www.pca. state. mn. us /hot/feedIot- management.htm1. For an Interim
Permit submit the manure management plan with this permit application. For a Construction
Short Form permit, be prepared to submit the plan if requested by your County Feedlot
Officer or MPCA staff person.
c. Where a land application agreement(s) exists for application of transferred manure to neighboring land
how many acres are available under the access agreement(s)?
No ❑
No ❑
Are the signed land application agreements enclosed? Yes ❑ No ❑
(see example agreement form at the MPCA website at:
www.pca.state.mn.us/ publications /feedlots- landappagreementform. pdf)
B. Non - transferred Manure. For all other manure (where ownership of manure is not transferred), complete items 1 and 2, below.
1. List the number of acres available for spreading non - transferred manure:
Acres owned: l (�� Acres rented /leased: �ZpQ
Other acres where the feedlot owner /operator controls field and nutrient planning decisions:
Are signed land application agreements enclosed for these acres?

MEMO
TO: Allie Remer, Feedlots
FROM: Anne Nelson, Wetlands
DATE: September 7, 2011
RE: Feedlot Application for Norbert Bechtold Property
Pursuant to a site visit made to the Norbert Bechtold property (PID #31.20687.0000), I have made the
following observations and conclusions:
1) The wetland located on the north east side of the buildings and east of the open lot is very likely
an incidental wetland. Although the area would be identified as a Type 3 (shallow marsh) wetland,
it could likely meet the incidental wetland standard found in the Wetland Conservation Act. The
land surrounding the wetland is clearly not wetland and is in a topographically high position. The
soil survey does not show soil as being hydric and the wetland is not listed on the National Wetland
Inventory.
2) An incidental wetland is defined under MN Rules 8420.0105, Subp. 2 D as, "...wetland areas that
the landowner can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the local government unit, were created in
nonwetland areas solely by actions, the purpose of which was not to create the wetland..."
3) The north end of the open lot near the fence line appears to contain Type 1 (seasonally- flooded
basin) wetland. Construction of a berm designed to prevent waste water from entering Watab
Creek, would likely meet at least 2 exemption standards. One standard states, "A replacement plan
is not required for impacts resulting from agricultural activities in a wetland that was planted with
annually seeded crops or was in a crop rotation seeding of pasture grass or legumes in six of the last
10 years prior to January 1, 1991. The other standard states, "A replacement plan is not required for
projects that impact (less than) 400 square feet of type 1, 2, or 6 wetland outside of the building
setback zone, as defined in the local shoreland management ordinance, but within the shoreland
wetland protection zone."
4) As the project was explained to me, a slurry store will be located within the existing farm yard
and a berm will be located along the existing fence line on the north side of the feedlot/pasture area.
The berm will help contain waste water and divert it to the incidental wetland. The berm will help
prevent waste water from the slurry store or feedlot /pasture from getting to Watab Creek.
When a final plan has been prepared and will be implemented, please provide a copy to wetland staff.

Portions of the eastern half of this district have been identified as 'areas of change'. Future investment,
public and private, is expected within this district during the scope of this plan. Portions of the western half
of this district have been identified as 'areas of stability' wherein our primary land use efforts focus on
retaining the integrity of previously established neighborhoods. This district is truly the focus of transition,
from existing to potential development and from residential neighborhoods to commercial and /or industrial
uses in Planning District Two.
Future uses within this district will reflect the transitional nature of the district. Areas in the vicinity of
existing residential units are guided toward continued residential uses with density gradually increasing as
they approach future commercial areas adjacent to the new CSAH 2 corridor. Light industrial business
park clusters will be allowed in the CSAH 75 corridor. Such business park clusters should be interspersed
with preserved open space to curtail access points onto CSAH 75 and to reduce the potential for a solid
lineal development that is only a single tier of lots in depth.
