City of Ramsey 15153NOWTHEN BOULEVARD NW., RAMSE¥. MINNESOTA 55303 * (612) 427-1410 WILLIAM K. GOODRICH. CITY A1-}"ORNEY January 8, 1987 Ronald O. W. Ylitalo Attorney at Law 2472 East Seventh Avenue North St. Paul, MN 55109 Re: Gerald Root Conditional Use Permit/City of Ramsey Dear Mr. Ylitalo: This letter is in response to your letter dated December 9, 1986, addressed to the City of Ramsey relating to the above subject. Contrary to your statement that there is no mention of the parking lot surfacing in the conditional use permit, I refer you to the last paragraph of the conditional use permit which states ,r . . any violation of any other City ordinances may be cause for immediate revocation of this conditional use permit." It is my opinion that this is explicit language relating to all other conditional use permit requirements, and is a more efficient reference rather than including the entire City Zoning Ordinance in the conditional use permit. As you know, the applicable ordinance requirement regarding parking lot surfaces states: Surfacing or drainage: Off-street parking areas shall be paved with a durable and dustless surface in conformance with City Engineering standards. Such area shall be so graded and drained as to dispose of all surface water accumulation satisfactorily. Based on the above-language I fail to see, as you contend that the City is going beyond the original conditional use permit and/or its zoning ordinance. The City Engineer, who sets the City's engineering standards, has stated that the "trap rock" applied by your client is not in accordance with the City's engineering standards for the paving of a parking area with a durable dustless surface. In addition, because of its very nature, "trap rock" does not lend itself to establishing a drainage pattern as required by the City's ordinance above cited. I I I I I I
