PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br /> CITY OF RAMSE¥ <br /> ANOKA COUNTY <br /> STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing on <br />Tuesday, October 6, 1987 regarding Mr. Jerome Wendt's request for a <br />conditional use permit to operate a glass installation business from the <br />home. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Mr. Gerald Zimmerman, Chairman <br />Mr. Charles LaDue <br />Mr. Terry Hendriksen <br />Mr. Jim Howell <br />Mr. Michael Terry <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />Community Development Director Anne Norris <br />City Attorney William Goodrich <br /> <br />Members Absent: <br /> <br />Mr. Jim Holm <br />Mr. Roy Shumway <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman called the public hearing to order at 8:06 p.m. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT <br /> <br />Steve Friese - 16800 Radium - Stated he has lived in the area one year and he <br />is concerned with a business being in the neighborhood as the area already has <br />some accumulation of junk problems, but not Mr. Wendt's yard in particular. <br />Mr. Friese stated that the area is zoned residential; his property is adjacent <br />to Mr. Wendt's; when he purchased his property he assumed the area would remain <br />suburban. If the request is approved, it could set a precedent in this and <br />other neighborhoods of Ramsey. Mr. Friese stated that he is also concerned <br />with traffic; the streets are only wide enough for residential traffic and <br />approving a business in the neighborhood would increase traffic and pose a <br />danger to children. Mr. Friese stated he is also concerned with the manner in <br />which discarded materials and broken glass will be disposed of. Mr. Friese <br />stated that he is also concerned that a business next door will diminish is <br />property value. Approving the variance would mean that his time and effort <br />spent appreciating his property value were forgotten. <br /> <br />Kathy Switala - 16756 Radium - Asked for clarification on the' request. <br /> <br />Chairman Zimmerman replied that Mr. Wendt's request consists of taking calls <br />over the phone for glass repair work to be done off the site and parking his <br />business vehicle at his home; there will be no employees coming to the home and <br />there will be no additional buildings constructed on the property for the <br />business. If the request is approved, Mr. Wendt would have to meet certain <br />conditions and any deviation from those conditions would require Mr. Wendt to <br />come before the city again to review the permit. <br /> <br />P&Z/Public Hearing/October 6, 1987 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
