Maximum Coverage for All Principal and Accessory <br />Buildings <br />35% <br />6.6% <br />Maximum Building Height <br />35 feet <br />25 feet <br />Use: <br />- Conditional use: Under Section 117-115 B-2 Highway Business District, Motor Vehicle, <br />implement, and recreation equipment sales and service is considered a Conditional Use <br />o Required: Conditional use permit <br />- Accessory use: Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use not to exceed 30% of the property <br />provided that <br />o Storage area may only be located in the side or rear yard. The storage area may not be <br />located in the front yard. <br />o Storage area is surfaced with concrete or bituminous with continuous B6/12 concrete <br />curb and gutter if located in the side yard. <br />o Items stored outdoors shall comply with Chapter 30 of the Ramsey City Code entitled <br />Public Nuisances. <br />Note: The outdoor storage onsite does exceed the 30% allowed but Staff can include the <br />overage as part of the site plan review and Conditional Use Permit application. <br />Variances: As proposed, the site plan requires a variance for a commercial well and septic system onsite <br />instead of connecting to City utilities. <br />1. Variance for private commercial well and septic system: <br />a. Reasonable? Yes, a commercial use is a reasonable use of the property and that requires <br />utilities of some sort. Due to the distance required to extend public utilities— it does seem <br />reasonable to request a variance. <br />b. Unique? Yes, the site is oddly situated and though in the MUSA, there are not utilities <br />nearby. <br />c. Character? Will the character of the locality be effected? No. There are numerous systems <br />in Ramsey. <br />d. Practical difficulty? Yes, the developer would connect to City utilities if they were nearby, <br />but the cost of extension is excessive due to the distance. <br />
