CASE <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ESTABLISH <br />PROFESSIONAL OFFICES AND DAYCARE FACILITIES IN THE R-1 RURAL <br />RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT AT 6139 157TH LANE N.W.; <br /> CASE OF NORTHERN COUNTIES SECRETARIAL SERVICES <br /> By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Northern Counties Secretarial Services has applied for a conditional use permit to establish <br />professional offices and daycare facilities in the R-1 Rural Residential District. The structure <br />proposed to house these uses is that which is soon to become the former Lord of Life Church <br />structure at 6139 157th Lane N.W. The structure is 6,900 square feet in size. <br /> <br />As I am sure you recall, Lord of Life recently obtained a rezoning and site plan approval to <br />construct a new church facility further south on Nowthen Blvd. Northern Counties Secretarial <br />Sen, ices has entered into a purchase agreement with Lord of Life for the existing church structure. <br />This purchase agreement is contingent upon Northern Counties Secretarial Services successfully <br />obtaining a conditional use permit from the City to establish professional offices and daycare <br />facilities in the structure. <br /> <br />Northern Counties Secretarial Services has indicated that they would be making a substantial <br />investment in the former Lord of Life structure. In addition, they hope that they will find it <br />necessary to expand their operations in the future. However, under current City Code regulations, <br />to expand a conditional use permit would require reapplication and the risk of denial, thereby <br />risking their initial investment in the property. Therefore, in an attempt to protect their initial <br />investment, the applicant is proposing that if their request for a conditional use permit is approved <br />at this time, that it be inclusive of any expansions that would bring their total building size up to <br />22,000 square feet. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br /> <br />d) <br /> <br />e) <br /> <br />f) <br /> <br />g) <br />h) <br /> <br />Site location map <br />Application cover letter and site plan dated September 20, 1991 <br />Public hearing and regular Planning and Zoning Commission meeting minutes <br />dated October 1, 1991 <br />Letter from Dennis Zylla, consultant for Northern Counties Secretarial Services, <br />dated October 28, 1991 <br />Amended site plan for Northern Counties current use of the property dated October <br />25, 1991 (Exhibit "B") <br />Concept site plan for future expansion of the site dated October 25, 1991 (Exhibit <br /> <br />Proposed findings of fact <br />Proposed conditional use permit <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />On September 20, 1991, the City of Ramsey received an application from Northern Counties <br />Secretarial Services for a conditional use permit to establish professional offices and daycare <br />facilities in the Lord of Life Lutheran Church structure at 6139 157th Lane N.W. <br /> <br />On October 1, 1991, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding <br /> <br /> <br />
