I understand that the City has taken action on a Resolution regarding <br />my clients' use of their property located in Ramsey. As part of that action, the <br />City is requiring the Birchems complete a Land Use Application seeking a Home <br />Occupation Permit for operation of their home -based business by October 8, <br />2019. <br />Enclosed herewith for your review, please find my clients' executed Land Use <br />Application with the attached exhibits.

This Application seeks <br />permission to continue to operate that business in the same fashion as it has <br />been. No changes to business operations are being sought. <br />Further, the City's Resolution requires my clients to remove any and all <br />additional junk/garbage not associated with their home -based business from <br />their property. They have already begun to do this and intend to fully comply <br />with the City in that regard. However, my clients would request to have until <br />Friday, December 27, 2019 to remove all necessary items from their property. <br />Apparently, this timeline, ending on December 27, 2019, had been discussed <br />between City Staff and the Birchems prior to the Resolution being drafted and <br />
