City of Ramsey 15153 NOWTHEN BOULEVARD N.W., RAMSEY, MINNESOTA 55303 • (612) 427-1410 July 5, 1991 James Klingelhoets Deals on Wheels 7009 Hwy. #10 N.W. Ramsey, Mn 55303 Re: Change of location James: I have noticed that you have relocated your vehicle sales operation from 7445 Hwy. #10 N.W. to 7009 Hwy. #10 N.W. As I am sure you are aware, your vehicle sales operation at 7445 Hwy. #10 N.W. was considered lawful non --conforming. According to City Code, if a non -conforming use ceases for 6 consecutive months, then that use of theproperty loses its non -conforming rights and future use of the property must conform to the zoning placed on the property. The subject parcel is zoned B - 3 Business and vehicle sales is a permitted use in that zone. However, if the operation includes an outdoor sales or display area, then a conditional use permit is required. With regard to your situation at 7009 Hwy. #10 N.W., that property is also zoned B-3 Business. As I noted above, vehicle sales is a permitted use in that zone; but if the use includes an outdoor sales or display area, then a conditional use permit is required. Therefore, you do need a conditional use permit to operate your motor vehicle sales operation at 7009 Hwy. #10 N.W. For your convenience, I am enclosing a conditional use permit information/application packet. A conditional use permit request includes a $100.00 non-refundable application fee and the applicant is also required to place $150.00 in an escrow account with the City. The $150.00 escrow is used to cover costs incurred by City Staff in processing your request. Once the application is completed through the process, any funds remaining in the $150.00 escrow account are refunded to the applicant; likewise, if the processing costs exceed $150.00, the applicant is responsible for the balance due. The application is subject to a public hearing conducted by the Planning and Zoning Commission; that Commission then makes a recommendation to City Council and the City Council makes the final decision to approve or deny the request. In view of the circumstances, I would suggest that you make application for your conditional use permit as soon as possible. If I receive your application and all supporting documentation by July 1 b, I can place your request on the August 6, 1991 Planning and Zoning Commission agenda. If you have any questions, or need additional information, please don't hesitate to call me at 427- 14100. f CI hank you for your anticipated cooperation. Respectfully, CITY OF RAMSEY Sylvia Frolik Zoning Administrator
