City of Ramsey 161~ ~oWTN~N BOULEVARD N,W,, RAM$£Y, MINNESOTA 55303"' {612) 427-1410 ~'~ WILLIAM K. GOODRICH CITY AI-fORNEY Date: From: Subj: April 5, 1988 City of Ramsey Planning & Zoning Commission William K. Goodrich, City Attorney Conditional Use Permit Request of 3eff Erickson, 15270 St. Francis Blvd. It is my understanding that Jeff Erickson has applied for a conditional use permit ~o ~onstruct and operate an office and warehouse for an electrlca contracting business at 15270 St. Francis Blvd. As you know, the subject property is in the City's B-1 zoning district. In addition a pre-existing residential home is al- ' prior to this time, was ready located on the property, which the principal use of the property. In addition, in 1987 Mr. Erickson applied for a variance to allow for the construction of an accessory building on his prope~t~ which would have ex- ceeded the height limitation permitteo in a residential zone. It is m~ 1understanding that Mr. Erickson wants the parcel to remain - and operate a business from the premises as well as live on the site. In addition, Anne Norris advises me that the City would like to keep the property in its present B-1 zone. 'nion that Mr. Erickson's plan is workable. I suggest It is my cpi .... =.,~.,~ o ntinued interest in us~n~ that because OT M~. ~u. ~ ~0 ' · . s commercial, and, of course, because it is zoneo his propezt~ ~, ~+ +Mo-~=c~dpnfial use be considered non-con- commercial~m-i], LHOL U"~ ~ ........ formin'g~ with the goal of some day, consistent with the City's non-conTorming use regulation; Section 170.015H, of phasing out the residential use. If the Commissioners and Mr. Erickson accept this reasoning, which I believe to be the best characterization of the subject property under our zoning ordinance, then Mr. Erickson will not be required to obtain a conditional use permit. He will, however, be required to obtain a site plan permit as required by Section 170.017L of the zoning ordinance.
