That the g6~ course is a commercial recreational use, it is not a residential use and it is not an industri~ use. That Lots [, 2 and 3, Block 1, Barthel's Rum River Acres are zoned rural residential and are presently used for residential purposes. ~'hat the prgposed improvement consists of a 90 x 42 foot building with an asphalt parking area measu~g 40 x 90 feet. That the l~°posed structure will comply with all setback requirements from Trunk Highway ~47 and the residential district to the south, and specifically the proposed structure vHll comply with that requirement of City Code which requires a 40-foot separation [~etween commercial uses and residential boundaries. That the e~terior facing finish of the proposed smacture is to be vinyl siding, which is in compliance~ with City Code, and compatible with the existing structures on the Golf Course property. That the facility will be served by on-site septic system and well. That the prOposed site plan will satisfy the required City Code landscaping requirements along pubic roads and in between commercial and residential uses on the south side of building Ul~.n installation of minimum of two-foot high spruce trees spaced every 10 feet on top of ~ four-foot high berm with the berm extending from the Trunk Highway g47 fight-of-waY east for a distance of 110 feet. That the proposed site will not have any direct access to Trunk Highway g47; access is being provi{:led via an existing interior unimproved pathway parallel to Trunk Highway g47 to the existiiag club house parking lot.

That currently, the golf course stores and maintains its materials and equipment on a residential property on the west side of Trunk Highway #47, which is a non-conforming use. The ekisfing proposal will eliminate that non-conforming use and in addition will eliminate ~e need for the equipment crossing Trunk Highway #47 and therefore improve vehicular sa~:~ ety in this area. That pursua~nt to Section 9.20.31, Subdivision 4, of the Ramsey City Code, the proposed use is not donsidered 'a major change of the Planned Unit Development because of the minimal logs of open space and no increase in density. The term density refers to residential ~ established in Section 9.02 of the City Code, which defines density as "A number expressing ratio of ~y..01J/lg units to an acre of land". That the existing vegetation and trees along the south boundary of the site adjacent to the residential~,roperties. provides, substantial natural screening of the maintenance building from the res~dennal properaes.
