The purpose of this meeting <br />is to discuss the Industrial Use Classifications, the Site Plan/Building <br />Design Plan Review. The first draft of the Land Use Section of the <br />Comprehensive Plan was given to the Commission to read and review for the <br />next meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Marston asked that the Planning Commission set up another meeting <br />within the next two to three weeks to get together and work on the <br />Comprehensive Plan since it is a little behind schedule. <br /> <br />INDUSTRIAL USE CLASSIFICATIONS <br /> <br />The comments of the Councilmembers were reviewed. <br /> <br />Ben Deemer explained, in hope of clarifyin~ how the proposed classification <br />method would be used. <br /> <br />He stated that the procedure basically pertains to new developments (plats) <br />since there are really no existing industrial businesses close to <br />residential areas and this method of classification is set up for the <br />following major purposes: <br /> <br />1. to break down industry into light and medium without <br /> having to have a long list of permitted uses. <br />2. to show that Ramsey can have Industrial and Commercial <br /> businesses on one acre lot minimum size. <br /> <br />I~ stated that the problem in understanding the method of classification is <br />probably in the language of the way it is written. It does need refining. <br />This is intended to become part of the site palnd/bui~ding design ordinance. <br /> <br />One of the things that this will accomplish is for example, instead of saying <br />a certain sheetmetal shop is light industry because of its size or that it is <br /> <br />February 20, 1980 <br /> WORKSHOP Pg. 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
