Case 116: Request For Conditional Use Permit To co:s~~~c~ ~: ~~:~~:; ~ Cemetery At 5730 179th Lane NWr Case 0 0 y d Cross Of Rope Lutheran Church: I I I I I I I Pastor Olson, Bob Sylvester and Bill Jenson were present. Jack Beissel - 17917 Junkite Street - Stated he lives across the street from Cross of Rope Church. He attended the Planning and Zoning meetin& that addressed this case and it seemed to be a land issue to that Commission, i.e., road alignment, signage, lighting, etc. Mr. Beissel 8tated that he wants the issue of cemeteries and their permanence addressed. Cemeteries are land that is taken off the tax roles forever and can never be encroached upon. There are no guarantees the church ~ill al~aY8 be at this location; if approved, the cemetery ~ill always be there. The City Attorney should research the issue of perpetual maintenance. Planning and Zoning recommended fencing and gating only the access road to the cemetery; how will snowmobilers be kept off the property? Will there be a well installed for lawn maintenance? Who will pay for the road? How can a non-profit organization take on such a formidable task? Church members were offered first choice on cemetery plats; what was the response to that offer? Who will manage the cemetery? More effort has been put into transferring the cable franchise and cable is something that can be removed in the future. I I I I I Councilmember Cox stated that a Cemetery Committee was formed a year ago and a lot of effort has gone into studying the cemetery situation in Ramsey. Mr. Bill Jenson stated that he is a member of Cross of Hope Church and was appointed to the Cemetery Committee with respect to this particular location. The intent is to utilize the southern portion of two 10 acre tracts as a cemetery. The plan is to ultimately develop 6600 grave sites in this 8-1/2 acres; initially, 1300 grave sites would be developed in the northwest corner of the site. There is natural screening on the north and south and more would be planted on the east and west; the access would be fenced and gated. The April 22, 1986 Page 12 of 14
