is taking up a lot of space. He stated he wished the applicant success but will be voting against it. Councilmember Riley commented with a HOP, the way he sees it is someone working out of their basement or garage and hoping to make a bigger business someday. He thought this business did outgrow the garage and was moved to a much bigger garage so he didn’t feel this is the reason they would give an HOP. He would love to see this business in an area that allows warehousing and manufacturing which would be a fabulous addition to Ramsey but didn’t feel in a neighborhood this is fitting the nature of an HOP so he would be against it. Councilmember Specht commented he could see both sides and agreed it is a complex issue. He stated the building is already there and there isn’t a request to build a large building on existing property. He stated the building has been approved in the past for different uses and they approve larger garages so he can see how it fits within the HOP and will be supporting it. Mayor Kuzma commented he will not be supporting it. He stated he understood the applicant wanting to keep it on their home property but he felt it was more of a commercial operation and wasn’t designed for being in a neighborhood. A roll call vote was performed: Councilmember Heineman aye Councilmember Woestehoff nay Councilmember Howell aye Councilmember Riley nay Councilmember Specht aye Councilmember Musgrove aye Mayor Kuzma nay Motion carried. 7.03 Adopt Resolution #22-125 Approving Site Plan, Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for PACT Addition and PACT Charter School City Administrator Hagen reviewed the staff report and request to adopt Resolution #22-125 approving site plan, preliminary plat and final plat for PACT addition and PACT Charter School. He noted three options for the Council to consider as well as a City consideration deadline of August 26, 2022 so there is time for plan revision and Staff review. Councilmember Musgrove stated it looks like the case is written with the final plat and asked if they are past the preliminary plat and onto the final when normally both are not stated at the same time. City Administrator Hagen replied it can be done both ways where the preliminary plat goes through the review period and then the developer comes back with final plat, which is more typical on a larger subdivision or a bigger project. In this case, where only four lots are being created in essence, there is not a lot of detail from a public infrastructure standpoint so it is not uncommon to see a final plat come forward at the same time as a preliminary plat.
