Case #2: Request for an Interim Use Permit to Allow Outdoor Storage of Commercial Vehicles and Equipment on a Residentially Zoned Parcel: Case of Gerald Bauer Community Development Director Frolik stated that Gerry Bauer is the owner of the property at 16130 Variolite Street NW, which is now called Ramsey Shooting Center. Mr. Bauer is leasing a portion of the subject property to Able Paving & Construction, who is utilizing the property for outside storage of their commercial vehicles and equipment. Mr. Bauer is requesting an interim use permit to allow for outside storage of commercial vehicles and equipment on the subject property for approximately a two-year period. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and reviewed the interim use permit request at their February 6, 2003 meeting. During the public hearing, several citizens expressed concerns regarding the commercial vehicles creating traffic congestion on Variolite Street, since the commercial vehicles take awhile to reach the posted speed limit. Residents also stated in general they do not want to see commercial activities expanded or intensified on the Ramsey Shooting Center property. The Planning Commission recolnlnended that the City Council deny the interim use permit request by Gerry Bauer. The Planning Commission felt that the proposed commercial activities are not an appropriate use for the subject property and surrounding area. City Council/February 25, 2003 Page 5 of 18
