CASE #7: <br /> <br />AMENDED DEVELOPMENT PERMIT FOR CUSTOM COACH RV, INC. <br /> By: Mark S. Bnnwart, Community Development Director <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On February 21, 1989, the City of Ramsey received application for a site plan <br />permit from Custom Coach RV, Inc. for the property located at 6845 Highway #10 <br />Northwest. This is the former site of McGregor's Truck Stop. On March 7, 1989 <br />the Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commission recommended site approval with <br />the following conditions: <br /> <br />1. Limit development of the facility to two phases. <br /> <br />Exterior finish of the front wall facing Highway #10 on both the <br />existing building and the new building comply with City Code <br />requirement to be at least 50% materia!s other than metal. <br /> <br />Construct no structures on the rear 50' of the site in consideration of <br />the future possibility of a service road in the area. <br /> <br />On March 14, 1989, the City granted site plan approval for the remodeling of the <br />existing metal and brick building measuring 48' x 60' and the construction of an <br />addition consisting of a new metal and block building measuring 50' x 120' and <br />the construction of certain landscaping, curbing, parking lot, drainage, and <br />grading improvements to the site. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />On April 5, 1989, the City was advised by Custom Coach RV, Inc. that certain soils <br />had been contaminated by petroleum products leaking from underground storage <br />tanks and/or transmission lines prior to the time they acquired the site. On <br />approximately May 10, 1989, the City was informed that Custom Coach RV, Inc. <br />wanted to proceed with the remodeling of the existing building and the addition <br />but desired some relief of the site plan time schedule in consideration that the site, <br />at a later date, may require excavation because of the contaminated soils. The <br />City has been in constant communication with the MPCA regarding this issue. <br />Furthermore, staff has contacted Barbara Freeze, Special Assistant, Attorney <br />General's Office; representing Tanks and Spills section of the MPCA. She has <br />stated that she is not aware of any liability under Minnesota Statutes in which the <br />MPCA enforces regarding the issuance of building permits in a case such as <br />Custom Coach RV, Inc. where the extent of the problem is uncertain.
