Senior Planner McGuire Brigl confirmed that it a typical timeframe that the City and other <br />municipalities use. She noted that an interim use permit can also be tied to a point in time, such <br />as reconstruction of a road. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy stated that his only concern would be the length of five years. <br /> <br />Commissioner Peters asked if there would be hazardous materials stored in the structures. <br /> <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl commented that she did not believe hazardous materials would be <br />stored in the structures but noted that the applicant can provide additional details. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />John Vevea, applicant, confirmed that there will not be hazardous materials stored in the structures <br />and provided details on what would be stored in the cold storage, such as boxes and pallets. He <br />stated that these are not normal storage containers that you see on railroad tracks with an end door. <br />He stated that these have double side doors, which allow all materials to be accessed. He stated <br />that these would be an investment of $12,000 and therefore he would like to have a period of five <br />years. He stated that his business is growing, and this would allow additional storage space and <br />give them time to adjust to the growth. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer asked for details on the exterior of the container. <br /> <br />Mr. Vevea replied that it does have a corrugated look with side doors. Staff displayed an example <br />photograph. He stated that his dad started this business in 1973 and they have continued to grow <br />in Ramsey. He hoped that he could continue that growing relationship. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gengler asked if the applicant would keep the trees that provide screening and if <br />those trees would be removed some other screening would be added to screen the containers from <br />the road. <br /> <br />Mr. Vevea agreed that the trees help to screen the containers and confirmed that he does not plan <br />to remove any trees. He stated that the structures will come in the tan color and he could paint it <br />if desired. He stated that these containers are meant to serve for a number of years and therefore <br />will hold up during the five-year period. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson asked for additional information on the location of the containers. <br /> <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl highlighted the proposed location, which would be behind the trees <br />on the subject property. <br /> <br />Mr. Vevea provided additional information on the different tree screening. <br /> <br />Senior Planner McGuire Brigl confirmed that this area only has business uses and does not receive <br />regular residential traffic. <br /> <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ December 3, 2020 <br />Page 4 of 15 <br /> <br />
