CASE #5: REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXPAND RAMSEY AUTO; CASE OF ROBERT & LOUIS WOJCIK By: Planning Assistant Sylvia Frolik Background: On May 2, 1989, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding the Wojcik request to expand Ramsey Auto Sales. During the case discussion, it was noted that the applicants are in violation of their existing conditional use permit and the case was tabled pending subnfission of a site plan addressing the entire site as proposed. On May 5, 1989, the Planning Assistant issued a letter to the Wojciks's suggesting that they hire a professional landscape architect to prepare a site plan and in the interim, bring their existing facility ~nto compliance. Shortly thereafter, the Planning Assistant was contacted by the firm hired to prepare the Ramsey Auto site plan to discuss deadlines for submitting information to meet with agenda preparation timelines. That finn could not meet the deadline for the June meeting and the case was then planned for the July Planning and Zoning meeting. On July 18, 1989, the Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed the site plan and tabled action until the following is provided: A report from City Staff regarding the status of compliance with the current conditional use permit. b) A recommendation from the City Attorney regarding suggested wording for a conditional use permit term that would require the applicants to provide financial security to be used in mitigating the cost of enforcing the conditional use permit. c) Correction of deficient items on the site plan (septic system location, alternate septic system location and indication of number of employees at the site). d) Certified lot survey. Community Development Technician Steve Lutmer inspected the subject property on July 25, 1989 for compliance with the existing conditional use permit. His comments were submitted to Ms. Frolik and her report is enclosed. City Attorney Goodrich has determined that the City does not have the authority to require financial security for conditional use permit enforcement activities. Mr. Goodrich's memo is also enclosed. Copies of the corrected site plan indicating septic system locations and number of employees will be available at the meeting on August 1. A reduced version of the certified lot survey is enclosed. Observations: The site plan indicates that the 3 parcels involved v,,ill accommodate a total of 126 display vehicles and 14 customer/employee parking spaces. The site plan indicates improvements that will eliminate the bituminous encroachment onto the Cty. Rd. #56 right-of-way. The site plan also indicates removal of the easterly access onto Hwy. #10; this is in accordance with the current conditional use permit. In addition, the site plan proposes to make improvements to what would be the center and western most driveways from the 3 parcels onto Hwy. #10. The City Engineer has recommended that the center driveway not be improved since the parcels can be served by the westerly driveway. The site plan proposes B6 type curbing and the City Engineer is recommending type B612.
