City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTH£N ~lOULEVARD N.W,, RAMSE¥o MINNESOTA 65303 · {612} 427-1410 WILLIAM K. GOODRICH, CITY A'I'I'ORNE~' ,'~anuary 8, 1987 Ronald O. W, Ylitalo Attorney at Law 2472 East Seventh Avem~e North St. Paul, ~-~ 55~09 Re: Gerald Root Conditional Use Permit/City of Ramsey Dear Mro Ylitalo: This letter is in ?eaponse to your letter dated December 9, 1986, addressed to the City of Ramsey relating to the above subject. Contrary to your s~a~ement that there is no mention of the parking lot surfacing i~ the conditional use permit, I refer you to the last paragraph of the conditional use permit which states ". . o amy violation ef 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 us~ permit. As you know, the ~ppl. icable ordinance requirement regarding parking loi; surfaces ~tates: Surfacing or drai~a~e: Off-street parking areas shall be paved with a dur~te and dustless surface in conformance with City Engineering ~Itandards. Such area shall be so graded and drained as to disgoae of all surface water accumulation satlsfactorily~ Based on the abo~a~l, anguage ! 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 b~~ your ¢liemt is not in accordance with the City's engineering standardt for the pavtng of a parking area with a durable d~stless surface. In addition, because of its very nature, "trap rock" does not lend itself to establishing a drainage pattern as ~equired by the City's ordinance above cited.
