9peration would be allowed to expand at this site if the conditional use permit <br />is granted. <br /> <br />Chairman Peterson - Replied that if the permit is granted, it would be under <br />specific conditions; if those conditions were to change, there would be another <br />public hearing and the neigbors of Mr. Knudson would be notified. <br /> <br />Mr. Nielson - Stated that the proposed conditions are that adequate off-street <br />parking would be provided, all machinery would be stored inside, exterior <br />displays or signs shall not exceed that permitted by city code (Mr. Knudson <br />has no signs at his current home/bus/ness), Ramsey reserves the right to <br />inspect the premises at any reasonable time if complaints are received, the <br />permit agreement shall be recorded as part of the applicant's deed, the <br />permit is subject to revocation and shall be reviewed by City Staff annually, <br />and violations of the permit shall be cause for immediate revocation of the <br />permit. Mr. Nielson noted that the pole barn has already been constructed on <br />the property and was done so with a building permit that was not necessary as <br />the land is zoned agriculture but Mr. Knudson wanted to be above board about <br />his intentions. <br /> <br />Mr. Volkman - Inquired how many more accessory structures Mr. Knudson would be <br />able to construct. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shtmrway - Replied that Ramsey City Code states that agriculture <br />parcels containing above a certain amount of acreage can have as much accessory <br />structure space as is needed. <br /> <br />Ms. Norris - Stated that it is the use and not the building that is in <br />question; business in not allowed in an agriculture/resident/al district; <br />additional accessory structure space would not be allowed for business use <br />unless Mr. Knudson reapplied and went through a public hearing to change the <br />conditions. <br /> <br />Debbie Volkman - Stated that her property adjoins Knudson's and noted that <br />there are all kinds of places in Ramsey that are more appropriate for storing <br />commercial vehicles.
