Planning Commission Minutes February 25, 2025 Page 2 of 6 Nikolay Vladyka, 11824 Winnetka Avenue N., Champlin - representing the applicant, stated the need for the temporary guard shack is for whomever is on shift, and they will leave after their shift. He expressed the need for security equipment to monitor the activities on the property, as he had guaranteed their customers a safe place to store their property. The temporary shack would be removed after a permanent structure is built at the entrance of the site. The structure would also provide a place for dropboxes and various inventory to operate the site, along with office space. Mr. Vladyka apologized to the city of Ramsey that he had not informed them of their desire to construct a security/office structure and he will continue discussions with the city of Ramsey. Chair Beise asked for a timeframe for them to build a permanent structure. Mr. Vladyka stated the parking lot will be paved first and wants to be finished building the permanent structure before next winter. Chair Beise asked Mr. Vladyka if they could have the permanent structure completed by November 1, 2025. Mr. Vladyka stated they absolutely could have it completed by then. Mr. Leeseberg clarified that there is no existing building on the property and that staff have no concerns about a construction timeline of a permanent building, but it's something the applicant can complete within the next 2 years. The pressing requirements to be completed prior to a CUP approval would be curbing, asphalt, landscaping, and lighting, those typically in place prior to a CUP being recorded. Commissioner Booth asked if an amendment to the conditions would be needed. Commissioner Johnson stated there was a note that a permanent building would have to adhere to the 13 building standards. Mr. Leeseberg stated he was seeking direction from the Planning Commission if a temporary structure should have a sunset date before a permanent structure is built, and it sounds like a permanent structure is what the applicant is proposing. Commissioner Booth wondered if Condition 14 could be removed from the list of conditions. Chair Beise asked if the applicant needed a temporary guard shack structure. Mr. Vladyka stated he is asking for a temporary structure while a permanent one is being built. Commissioner Booth stated that Condition 14 could be amended to state a temporary guard shack be removed by November 1, 2025 . There being no one else to speak, Chair Beise closed the public hearing. Commissioner Johnson stated he was comfortable with a permanent structure as long as it followed the proper codes, and a temporary one was fine until the permanent structure is built. Mr. Leeseberg asked to discuss Condition 23.
