This use will require additional maintenance of the neighborhood roadways at the <br /> cost of the public for public facilities and services. Additionally, staff has received complaints <br /> about the use and finds that the use is outside of what one would typically find in a residential <br /> setting. Staff finds that the use is more compatible with a commercial or industrial district. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy asked what the issues are. He noted that there are standards for number <br /> of trips and outside storage. <br /> Zoning Code Enforcement Officer Raines replied that there were two violations for the property <br /> related to the home occupation and trash. <br /> Senior Planner McGuire Brigl stated that there are three different levels of home occupation <br /> permits and reviewed some of the related regulations for each level. She stated that this request <br /> falls into the third category of home occupation permits because of the number of people coming <br /> to the property. She stated that staff believes that this would be better suited for an industrial area <br /> and would be willing to work with the applicant to find a suitable location in Ramsey. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Planning Commission/August 26, 2021 <br /> Page 4 of 26 <br />
