Chairperson Bauer aye <br /> <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer closed the public hearing closed at 7:43 p.m. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br />Commissioner Gengler commented that she appreciates Mr. Gall as a business owner and would <br />like to welcome his business to Ramsey but does not feel that this business is a good fit for this <br />space. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Gengler, seconded by Commissioner VanScoy, to recommend that City <br />Council adopt Resolution #21-088 Denying an Interim Use Permit for outdoor storage of a brush <br />pile and gravel parking of vehicles and equipment on the subject property. <br /> <br />Further discussion <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson commented that he shares the concern related to noise and dust. He <br />stated that the neighboring retail business is attempting to attract tenants and the City is attempting <br />to bring all the properties back into compliance. He commented that denying this request would <br />allow the City to continue to work towards bringing the parcel into compliance with the zoning. <br />Commissioner Walker commented that he is a proponent of attempting to bring business into <br />Ramsey would rather see this go back to the staff to allow the applicant to work with staff to work <br />together. He noted that perhaps this could be used for a temporary period of time while the owner <br />looks for another location in Ramsey. He believed noise issues could be mitigated by setting time <br />parameters. Commissioner VanScoy commented that he also wants to see businesses come into <br />Ramsey and there are other locations in Ramsey that would be appropriate for this type of business. <br />He stated that staff offered to work with Mr. Gall to find another location and encouraged the <br />applicant to work with staff to find another location that would be suitable for this business as this <br />location would be inappropriate for that type of activity. Chairperson Bauer commented that if <br />this motion passes, the item would still move to the City Council or the applicant could work with <br />staff to find a more appropriate location. He echoed the comment that they would like to see Mr. <br />Gall expand his business to Ramsey, in a more suitable location. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed: <br /> <br />Commissioner Peters aye <br />Commissioner Gengler aye <br />Commissioner VanScoy aye <br />Commissioner Dunaway aye <br />Commissioner Anderson aye <br />Commissioner Walker nay <br />Chairperson Bauer nay <br /> <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/ April 8, 2021 <br />Page 9 of 18 <br /> <br />
