Councilmember introduced the following resolution and moved for its adoption: RESOLUTION #20-016 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A ONE YEAR EXTENSION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE SQUARE FOOTAGE AND NUMBER OF ACCESSORY BUILDINGS ON THE PROPERTY GENERALLY KNOWN 17902 SAINT FRANCIS BLVD AND DECLARING TERMS OF PERMIT RECITALS 1. The City of Ramsey received an application from Dale and Tammy Wills (the "Permittee") requesting a Conditional Use Permit to exceed the allowable square and number of detached accessory buildings allowed on the property generally known as 17902 Saint Francis Blvd NW and legally described as follows: The northwest Quarter of the northeast Quarter together with the northeast Quarter of the northwest Quarter both in Section 2, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota, except roads subject to easement of record. (the "Subject Property") 2. That on February 7, 2019 the Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing and recommended City Council approve the requested Conditional Use Permit. 3. That on February 26, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution #19-043 granting a Conditional Use Permit to exceed the allowable square footage for, and the total number of, detached accessory buildings on the Subject Property. 4. That on August 21, 2019, the City's Building Official determined that the indoor horse riding arenas would qualify as an agricultural use and would be exempt from a building permit; however, per Ramsey City Code, a Zoning Permit would still be required. 5. That the Permittee submitted an application for a Zoning Permit for the first indoor horse riding arena on September 13, 2019. 6. That on September 25, 2019, at the direction of the State Fire Marshall's Office, it was determined that MN State Fire Code was still applicable (even with the agricultural designation) and that the Permittee would need to modify the building plans to address fire suppression. 7. That on November 4, 2019, the Permittee contacted the Planning Division to request a one year extension for the variance, which would have expired on February 7, 2020 if a permit for a riding arena had not been issued.
