(Aka Communicor) at 6100 Industry Avenue N.W., Ramsey, for the utilization <br />of a 720 square foot modular office on the property for a one year period. That permit expired on <br />August 1, 1998 and the applicants requested permission to use the temporary office structure for <br />one more year to complete their assessment of space needs for expansion or relocation.

The City <br />has previously granted permits for temporary structures in the commercial and industrial areas. <br />Staff recommended to continuing the application until the time that the City is able to review and <br />adopt new text supporting the processing and applications of interim use permits. The applicant <br />would be allowed to continue their operations during this review process and will be asked to <br />reapply and be processed under the newly adopted ordinance upon notification by the City. <br /> <br />Joe Wivoda arrived at 6:05 p.m. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Steve Kapp, 7451 149th Avenue NW, Ramsey, employee of Transwest, Inc., stated that his <br />employers will be exploring the option of building a permanent structure or relocating depending <br />on business. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kociscak inquired as to type of business. <br /> <br />Mr. Kapp replied that they do truck and equipment leasing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Jensen inquired as to who owns the temporary structure. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/December 20, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
