Resident - 15355 Eland - Stated that violators only temporarily r~medy the problem to satisfy City Staff; there should be guidelines established providing that violators are monitored on an on-going basis so the burden is not on the neighbors to keep registering oomplaints. Margarite Banke - 8062 154th - Stated that she is concerned with the contradiction be~een c~ty ordinances and what Planning and Zoning is doing, i.e., Planning and Zoning is reoommending approval for a conditional use permit to locate a cement business in a residential area Councilme~r Cox suggested that an item for the joint Council/Om~ission meeting agenda be h~w c(m~issions and council relate to each other and the roles of each; also important for all to be ~are of the taxing structure as it relates to real estate. Mayor Rei~man requested that Mr. Bartley have the joint Council/Con~nission meeting agenda prepared in sufficient time for all attending to review it. Ms. Skarbakka was present earlier but not at the time her case came up for di scussion. Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Reimann to defer any requests for conditional use permits for a h<m~e occupation mtil after the joint Council/Commission workshop meeting scheduled for March 6, 1986. Further Discussion: Mr. Goodrich stated that the action in the motion is inappropriate because City Ordinance does allow for h~me occupation permits and Ms. Skarbakka is making application pursuant to ordinance. Mr. G~odrich stated that Council does not have the right to ~ahle the case based on proposed ~endments to the ordinance, but Council can place a moratori~ on the ordinance itself. Mr. (k)odrich stated that the p~st general policy in Ramsey has been to approve requests for home occupation permits; denial of this request would require the adoption of a findings of fact. Councilm~nber Cox withdrew his motion and Councilmember Reiman withdrew his second to the motion. Motion by Counci~r Cox and seconded by Councilmember Reimann to table MS. Skarbakka's request for a h~me occupation until such time as MS. Skarbakka can be present to answer questions relating to the request that Council might have. February 25, 1986 Page 12 of 22
