WHEREAS, the City of Ramsey (the "CITY") received an application from Chad Lundquist requesting a waiver from City Code paving standards located on the property generally known as 8110 Highway 10 NW and legally described as follows: Beginning at a point on the east line of the Southeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter (SE '/4 of NW 1/4) of Section Twenty-nine (29), Township Thirty-two (32), Range Twenty-five (25) thirty feet south of the intersection of said line with the northerly boundary of the right of way of U.S. Highway No. 10; thence northwesterly and parallel with said highway and thirty (30) feet southwesterly thereof a distance of two hundred (200) feet, thence southerly and parallel with the east line of the said SE '/4 a distance of four hundred (400) feet; thence southeasterly and parallel with U.S. Highway No. 10 a distance of two hundred (200) feet to the east line of said SE '/4 of NW 1/4; thence north along the east line of the SE '/4 of NW '/4 a distance of four hundred (400) feet to point of beginning, Anoka County, Minnesota. (the "Subject Property") NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THIS CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA that the findings of fact relating to the request are determined to be as follows: 1. That on January 26, 2011, Chad Lundquist, herein referred to as the "APPLICANT", properly applied for a waiver from paving requirements to allow a Class V parking surface (the "Paving Surface") on the Subject Property. 2. That the Subject Property is zoned B-2 Highway Business; the surrounding parcels are zoned B-2 Highway Business or R-2 Residential. 3. That the Subject Property is approximately 1.65 acres in size. 4. That the CITY finds that the Paving Surface does not meet the requirements of City Code Section 117-115 (13). 5. That the CITY finds that the request for additional parking spaces in the Paving Surface represents an expansion of a lawful, non -conforming use, and thus is subject to current zoning standards of City Code Section 117-115 (B-2 Highway Business District) requiring the issuance of a conditional use permit for motor vehicle sales and repair. 6. That the CITY finds that motor vehicles under repair on the Subject Property that will utilize the Paving Surface represent a threat to the health and welfare of the community and require additional provisions including, but not limited to, screening of motor vehicles under repair. 7. That the proposed use will/will not adversely impact traffic in the area. 8. That the proposed use will/will not be compatible with the residential neighborhood due to density and lot size of the surrounding lots.
