Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Gengler called the public hearing to order at 7:22 p.m. <br />Presentation <br />Planning Manager Larson presented the staff report stating that staff recommends approval of the <br />PUD and associated site plan, contingent upon staff's review comments. <br />Commissioner Bauer referenced 3.5 within Section 3 and asked if there would be a possibility that <br />the definitions used by Ramsey and Elk River could be different which could create a conflict. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that the definitions are very similar. He stated that the Ramsey <br />definition would be used on the Ramsey side and the Elk River definition would be used on the <br />Elk River side of the property. <br />Commissioner Hunt asked if the goal is for the requirements to line up for both the Ramsey and <br />Elk River sides to avoid the situation in which vehicles are just moved to the other side of the line. <br />Planning Manager Larson confirmed that is correct. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if Elk River has the same process for a PUD. <br />Planning Manager Larson confirmed that the process is similar for Elk River and that Elk River is <br />also using a PUD for this property. <br />Commissioner Hunt asked if the requirement to remove the salvage vehicles and car dealership <br />overflow parking has been well received by the applicant. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied <br />Councilmember Peters asked if the PUD would run with the current owner of the property. <br />Planning Manager Larson replied that the PUD would run with the land as it is a zoning district. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked if there have been any comments received from surrounding <br />property owners. <br />Planning Manager Larson commented that both Ramsey and Elk River mailed public hearing <br />notices to residents for both meetings. He stated that while he has not received calls lately, the <br />City received quite a few calls when the business opened, which started the code enforcement <br />action. He stated that the applicant has done a lot of work on the site, and it does look a lot nicer <br />than it did one year ago. <br />Citizen Input <br />Planning Commission/ January 23, 2025 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />
