The conditions that would be attached to the proposal were discussed. There are to be no advertising signs, no outside storage and possibly screening. Ben Deemer stated he would like to see them located the structure as close to the rear property line as possible to keep it in the bac~ more out of sight. Mr. Volner is to submit some sort of a sketch showing the location of the proposed structure on the lot. Motion by Ben Deemer and seconded by Ron West to table action on this conditional use permit until after the Volner's meet with City staff and a formal agreement is drafted between the Volner's and the City of Ramsey to regulate the greenhouse operation. Motion carried. 6 Ayes REVIEW OF VARIANCE REQUEST FOR WALTEC INCORPORATED FOR REAR YARD SETBACK AND EXTERIOR APPEARANCE Engineer Raatikka read his letter. Regarding Item No. 1, which stated the proposed site plan was not prepared by a registered engineer or land surveyor. After.discussion on this subject, it is the consensus of the Commission to rewrite this part of the site plan ordinance to read: The site plan must be prepared by a registered engineer, land surveyor or architect. Mr. Walters was not present at this meeting. It was noted that he has about 40 employees, is in the business of manufacturing and that the septic system is brand new and Building Official Berg approved the system for Waltec's proposed use as being adequate. There are two mercury lights on each end of the parking area. They will have one advertising sign out by the roadway approximately 4 X 8 foot. The proposed driveway construction and parking lot should be spelled out on the site plan as being 4 inches of Class V and 2 inches of bituminous surfacing and that the driveway should be at least 20 feet wide. There doesn't seem to be a problem witht~ drainage. A new site plan was presented at the meeting with elevations shown. The Planning Cormmission indicated that a 1.2 feet variance to the setback would not create an adverse affect in this area. It was noted that Mr. Walters needs a variance for setback because he had planned to have enough room but discovered that the company building the building had to have at least 3 feet between the existing building and proposed building to construct it and therefore it created an encroachment into the setback of 1.2 feet. Regarding the exterior of the building, the Commission feels that since this building is being located behind the existing building and it is setback about 800 feet from the road that a variance should be granted on the exterior decor.
