across the property line and use the adjacent-property's access to Highway 10. Once 5~1 improvements are made .to the site, a sp}it rail fence or similar type of attractive barrier should be .put on the west property line to discourage trespassing onto the adjacent property in trying to access Highway '10. He also noted that the former ICO property is located in the City of Ramsey, while the rest of the Anoka Technical College's campus is located in AnQka. Any incidents on the subject property that will need public safety services (police and fire) will need to be routed through the City of Ramsey Police and Fire Departments. Chairperson Johnson noted that if someone from the College location calls 911, they are not responsible for who is contacted. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon agreed, but indicated they wanted to make that statement for the record. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon further advised the property previously had vehicles, storage tanks and other debris stored on the property. Recently, the College has cleaned up the property and has' removed the storage tanks and many vehicles. He indicated the College would like to continue to store some vehicles that can be used by the fire fighter program for training purposes. He noted this is acceptable to staff with the following conditions: · A minimum of six-foot high screening should be in place on all four sides of the storage area. The fence design and material will need to be approved by the City of Ramsey. · No more than 10 vehicles will be allowed to be stored within the storage area. No other equipment or material shall be stored in the outdoor storage area. · The existing pole building may be used for storage as l°ng as the building maintains compliance with the state building and fire codes. Staff will be visiting the site to inspect this building to ensure that_!t is compliant with all aPplicable codes. Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon explained the College was looking to use the building for plumbing classes, but it does not look like that is feasible at this time. He indicated again this is a three-tiered interim use permit, and'the College is hoping for funding to purchase the building before the permit is up. Public Hearing Dave Jeffrey, representing Anoka Technical College, indicated he was available to answer qudstions from the Conm2ission. Chairperson Johnson asked if he 'had reviewed the conditions set by staff. Mr. Jeffrey stated he has. He indicated he worked with staff over the last few months on the conditions. He noted they were excited about the properL' and the various uses. He noted he is concerned about blocking the access in the long term, but for the interim use permit this is not a concern.
