Absent: Commissioners Gengler, VanScoy and Woestehoff. 6.02: Consider Final Plat for Site Plan for Ramsey Storage Center (Project No. 19-119); Case of Ramsey Storage Center LLC (Bob Mikulak) Presentation City Planner Anderson presented the Staff Report and recommendation to approve the Final Plat and Site Plan for Ramsey Storage Center. Commission Business Commissioner Anderson stated that a previous request for this site showed a northeast corner th there was a cul-de-sac bulb for snow removal on 148 and asked the difference in this plan, specifically whether the additional area on this request would be used for snow storage. City Planner Anderson replied that by the end of the previous review process there was a snow storage agreement between the previous applicant and public works and public safety staff to th extend 148 slightly beyond the manhole cover to allow City staff to push the snow slightly beyond that manhole to be stored on this property in lieu of the cul-de-sac. He noted that the plans match the previously approved plans. Commissioner Anderson stated that it appears there is a small driveway to the south of the building and asked if that would extend to the bottom parcel. City Planner Anderson noted that comment is contained within the Staff Review letter. He noted that in previous discussions Anoka County was only going to allow a single access from Ramsey Boulevard and the intention would be to provide a shared access to lot two when ultimately recorded. He noted that the applicant is discussing the possibility of another access from Bunker Lake Boulevard as well. He confirmed that the driveline would need to extend to the boundary in the case that lot two develops in the future. He noted that there are no pending applications or proposed projects for lot two at this time. Commissioner Anderson asked if the County would differ from their right-in/right-out policy. City Planner Anderson stated that he could not definitively answer that question but noted that a phased approach was previously approved and provided details. He stated that the applicant has stated that they would prefer to have the access in its final location rather than taking the phased approach. Chairperson Bauer referenced the two separate lots and the County only allowing one access. He asked if that would restrict the current owner to maintain ownership of the second lot rather than providing ability to sell that lot for development.
