CASE STATUS OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS ISSUED IN THE CITY OF RAMSEY; By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: The issue of the number of conditional use permits being issued in Ramsey and the amount of staff time to proCeSs applications and provide follow-up enforcement has been a recent topic of discussion am.~ngsX the City Council members. For almost two years, I have been searching out land use appli~ations relating to conditional use permits, rezonings and variances. I have taken each situafion~., tried to reconstruct the ease and logged pertinent information on a computer spreadsheet. :The land use case fries were then placed in color coded folders and filed in the appropriate property file. Since then, I have been making contact with each of the property owners where records~iindicate a conditional use permit had been issued. The purpose for this was to determine whether or not the conditional use permit is still active. (City Code states that when a conditional us6 permit is not active for 12 consecutive months, then it is considered void.) Observations: To date, ! have found 221 Conditional Use Permit cases. The status of those conditional use permits is az fallows: Denied: 29 Withdrawn: 26 Expired: 89 Active: 73 Expired but Active: Pending: Enclosed for your information is an excerpt of the spreadsheet I maintain on conditional use permits. There is not aSystem in place for regular inspections of conditional use permits for compliance. Violations of conditional use pemfit terms would come to the attention of City Staff on a complaint basis only at this time. Recommendation: No action required at this time; this item is for your information. Review Checklist: P&Z: 7/2/91: City Engineer Zoning Administrator City Council
