Deputy City Administrator Gladhill stated that the Commission has been particular about shared parking but in this instance, staff was comfortable with shared parking access. He stated that there may not be shared parking, but traffic could flow through between the sites. Citizen Input Stewart, representing the applicant, stated that he is present to answer any questions the Commission may have. He stated that they are excited to come to Ramsey. He noted that he has been in charge of building 75 to 80 new hotels. He believed the proposed parking would be sufficient for the hotel and restaurant. Commissioner Woestehoff asked for details on the idea to have a concrete dumpster pad in the center and asked if there would be a better place for that. Stewart, replied that they need to locate the dumpster in an area where the garbage truck can access it and be able to maneuver. He stated that the only other location where it would work would be next to the restaurant patio and they did not find that to be a good fit. Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that it would be a dumpster enclosure, noting that it would be full brick on three sides with a completely wood covered gate, noting that the dumpster would not be visible.
