Case #3: Request for a Conditional use Permit to Maintain a Commercial Vehicle Larger than One Ton in a Residential District; Case of David Pehlke Ms. Frolik stated that Ramsey City Code states that no more than one one-ton motor vehicle shall be parked or stored in a residential district. She stated that Mr. Pehlke is starting his own septic system pumping service and is seeking City approval to store his two-ton pumper truck at his home. She added that Mr. Pehlke does not have an accessory structure that would accommodate storing the truck indoors. She informed the City Council that the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding Mr. Pehlke's request and they recommended approval and that the conditional use permit would cease when Mr. Pehlke was no longer in business. Upon inquiry, Attorney Goodrich stated the City can issue a permit for a specific time if agreed upon by the City and the applicant and if there is a particular reason for the time limitation, such as surrounding conditions.
