~he Commission reviewed the proposed conditional use permit agreement and added the following item: '7. Hours of operation shall be between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for company vehicles.' Commissioner Shtm~ay stated that he doubts Mr. Knudson will be able to store the 5 trucks, 2 bobcats, farm tractor, etc. in a 44' x 60' pole building. Commissioner Hendriksen stated that this Co~m-,ission has to make a decision as to whether or not all of these items can be stored in the pole building and if not, a decision has to be made as to whether or not another on-going liability will be created for the City. Commissioner Hendriksen stated that he doesn't feel that the fact that there is an existing pole barn at this location should enter into the decision. Motion by Commissioner Hendriksen and seconded by Commissioner Shumway to recommend denial of Mr. Wayne Knudson's request for a conditional use permit to operate his cement contracting business from his home at 15401 Armstrong Blvd. N.W. Motion failed. Voting Yes.' Commissioners Shumway, Hendriksen and Howell. Voting No: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Zimmerman, Deemer and LaDue. Motion by Commissioner LaDue and seconded by Commissioner De~mer to recommend approval of Mr. Wayne Knudson's request for a conditional use permit to operate his cement contracting business from his home at 15401 Armstrong Blvd. N.W. contingent upon Mr. Knudson entering into a conditional use permit agreement with the City. Further Discussion: Commissioner Deemer noted that Mr. Knudson has been above board regarding his intended use of the pole building and is attempting to operate legally, unlike many other situations in Ramsey. Commissioner LaDue stated that Mr. Knudson's application should be taken in good faith and judgement should not be made based on past problems in the neighborhood. Commissioner Shtm~way questioned how the Commission can consider recommending approval when no public spoke out in favor of the request. Chairman Peterson stated he thinks the public was under the assumption that a 'cement contracting' would be comparable to a cement ready-mix business. Commissioner LaDue stated that he doesn't see any of Mr. Knudson's operation being detrimental to neighboring property owners. Ms. Norris stated that with respect to sufficient space being provided for storage of equipment with the existing pole building, Mr. Knudson can add on additional accessory structure space up to the maximtln limits, but that additional space cannot be used for company vehicles. Commissioner LaDue noted that the fact the accessory structure already exists did not enter into his decision to make this motion. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Zimmerman, Deemer and LaDue. Voting No: Commissioners Howell, Hendriksen and Sht~way. February 4, 1986 Page 5 of 7
