SHOREWOOD RV CENTER <br />"Somethlng for Everyone" <br /> <br />May 3, 2006 <br /> <br />City of Ramsey Planniug Commission <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW <br />Ramsey, Ivll'4 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Public Hearing for consideration of an Interim Use Permit. for outside storage <br /> On the property legally described ~ follows: The N17¢ Quarter of the SE Quarter <br /> Of Section 29, Township 32, Range 25, Amoka County, Minnesota <br /> <br />Dear Commission Members: <br /> <br />We are the owners of property at 8390 Hwy. 10 NW in the City of Ramsey. This <br />property is located immediately North of, and contiguous to, the above described <br />property. Further, we are the stockholders and officers of Shorewood RV Center which <br />operates a recreational vehicle sales and serv/ce dealership at that location. <br /> <br />We are opposed to the City ofRarnsey [ssuing the interim use permit f~r.the following <br />renqOnS: ; .- · , . - . . . <br /> <br /> 1) We do not believe the zoning of the subject property would allow commercial <br /> business operations such as an "Open Sales Lot" to be conducted thereon. <br /> 2) We believe that the fee title owner of the property must be the applicant (or joint <br /> applicant) for the permit and therefore this permit request does not appear to be in <br /> compliance in that only KV World is named in the request. <br /> 3) OF understanding of the zoning ordinance is that variances and/or interkn use <br /> permits are granted only in certain instances. A variance is described as follows: <br /> <br /> ?The Waiving by Board action of the literal provisions of the zoning chapter in <br />· instances where strict enforcement would cause undue hardship because of <br /> Circumstances unique to the INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY (our emphasis) under <br /> consideration." In this instance, we do not see the undue hardship to the OWN-ER <br /> of the property. <br /> <br />4) <br /> <br />We, and many of our competitors, have invested large sums of capital in our <br />businesses. Pan of the investment has been made to meet the City of Ramsey <br />ordinances regulating our business operations, including, but not limited to the <br />required paving of our "Open Sales Lot". Accordingly, we would appeal to the <br />Board to deny this request in the hope tkat we can compete with other recreation <br />vehicle dealers on an equal basis where capital outlay is mandated by the City. <br /> <br />8390 Highway 10 Northwest -- Anoka, MN 55303- Phone: (763) 421-2505 -- (800) 784-~5 <br /> www.shorewoodrv.com - - <br /> <br /> <br />
