That the}golf course is a commcmial recreational use, it is not a residential use and it is not an industrial use. That LogS 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Barthel's Rum River Acres are zoned rural residential and are pres6ntly used for residential purposes. That theiproposed improvement consists of a 90 x 42 foot building with an asphalt parking area measuring 40 x 90 feet. That tht} proposed structure will comply with all setback requirements from Trunk HighwaF g47 and the residential district to the south, and specifically the proposed structure will comply with that requirement of City Code which requires a 40-foot separati6n between commemial uses and residential boundaries. That th~ exterior facing finish of the proposed structure is to be vinyl siding, which is in compli~ce with City Code, and compatible with the existi.ng structures on the Golf Course property. That the?facility will be served by on-site septic system and well. That th~ proposed site plan will satisfy the required City C_.Odc landscaping requirements along pgblic roads and in between commercial and residential uses on the south side of building~ upon installation of minimum of two-foot high spruce trees spaced every 10 feet on top q~f a four-foot high berm with thc berm extending from thc Trunk Highway g47 right-ofqway east for a distance of 110 feet. That the proposed site will not have any direct access to Trunk Highway g47; access is being pWvided via an existing interior unimproved pathway parallel to Trunk Highway g47 to the e~sfing club house parking lot. That th{ employee parking and equipment maneuvering area in front of the proposed building will be surfaced with bituminous and finished with B612 concrete curb per the site plan drafting dated May 16, 1995, submitted by the applicant. 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. Tl~e existing proposal will eliminate that non-conforming use and in addition will eliminate the need for the equipment crossing Trunk Highway g47 and therefore improve vehicula~ safety in this area. That pulrsuant to Section 9.20.31, Subdivision 4, of the Ramsey City Code, the proposed use is not considered a major change of the Planned Unit Development because of the minimal loss of open space and no increase in density. The term density refers to residential as established in Section 9.02 of the City Code, which defines density as "A number expressing ratio of fl.~EOli~ units to an acre of land". That th~ existing vegetation and trees along the south boundary of the site adjacent to the residential properties provides substantial natural screening of the maintenance building from th6 residential properties.
