FINDINGS OF FACT 1. That the drive-thru use will not be unduly dangerous or detrimental to persons residing or working in the vicinity of the use or to the public welfare; and 2. That the drive-thru use will be designed in such a way that it will not change the essential character of the area. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RAMSEY, ANOKA COUNTY, STATE OF MINNESOTA, as follows: 1) That the Ramsey City Council hereby grants approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a drive-thru use in conjunction with a restaurant on the Subject Property contingent upon the following conditions: CONDITIONS 1. That the Applicant must obtain all of the necessary building permits and make those improvements in accordance with the approved plans, subject to any outstanding review comments, including an updated lighting plan meeting photometric minimums and waste enclosure plan that includes matching brick. 2. That signs must meet City Code requirements and obtain the proper permits. 3. That the Applicant signs a development agreement in order to guarantee that site improvements will be installed according to plan. 4. That a cross-access and maintenance agreement must be signed and recorded to ensure proper access to the site. 5. Queueing for the drive-thru must remain on the Subject Property. Should queueing spill onto the shared access roadway, the business operator or property owner must work with City Staff on a solution. The bypass lane may be converted to an additional drive-thru lane should the need arise. 6. That this Permit shall automatically expire if the use is not initiated within one year of approval, and issuance of a Building Permit shall constitute initiation, or the use is discontinued for 265 consecutive days. 7. That the Applicant shall be responsible for all City costs incurred in administering and enforcing this Permit. Resolution #26-186 Page 2 of 3
