Commissioner introduced the following resolution and moved for its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION #24-227 <br />A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO BUILDING SETBACKS <br />AT 14220 BASALT STREET NW <br />RECITALS <br />1. WHEREAS, The City of Ramsey received an application from Quad Logic (the <br />"Applicant") requesting a Variance to the rear yard setback to accommodate a building <br />addition located at the property generally known as 14220 Basalt Street NW and legally <br />described as follows: <br />Lot 5, Block 4 Gateway North Industrial Park Plat 2 <br />(the "Subject Property") <br />2. WHEREAS, the Applicant appeared before the Planning Commission for a public hearing <br />pursuant to Section 106-220 (Variances) of the Ramsey City Code on August 22, 2024, <br />and that said public hearing was properly advertised and that the minutes of said public <br />hearing are available. <br />3. WHEREAS, the Subject Property is approximately 1.79 acres in size, which is similar, <br />if not slightly smaller, than other properties in the immediate surrounding area. <br />4. WHEREAS, the Subject Property is zoned I-1 — Light Industrial. <br />5. WHEREAS, the parcels surrounding the Subject Property to the northwest, east, and <br />south are also zoned I-1 — Light Industrial and the parcel to the southwest is zoned I-2 — <br />General Industrial. <br />6. WHEREAS, the Subject Property, and all surrounding parcels, is guided as Business <br />Park in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. <br />7. WHEREAS, City Code Section 106-530 (Bulk Standards) states that the minimum rear <br />yard setback for parcels in the I-1 — Light Industrial District is twenty-five (25) feet. <br />8. WHEREAS, the Applicant is proposing a building addition of approximately 3,440 <br />square feet for additional cold storage space due to increased product demand. <br />9. WHEREAS, the Subject Property is triangular shaped and abuts Bunker Lake Boulevard, <br />a County Highway. <br />10. WHEREAS, a building addition to the east is not feasible as it would disrupt the existing <br />access to the Subject Property (currently off of Basalt Street) and it is very unlikely that <br />an access onto Bunker Lake Boulevard would be approved by Anoka County Highway <br />
