PUBLIC I~EARING <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br />ANOKA COUNTY <br /> STATE OF MINNESOTA <br /> <br />The Ramsey Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on Tuesday, November 2, 1998, at <br />the Ramsey Municipal Center, 15153 Nowthen Boulevard NW, Ramsey, Minnesota, regarding a <br />request for a conditional use permit; case of Anoka Congregation of Jehovah Witnesses. <br /> <br />Members Present: <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Benjamin Deemer <br />Commissioner Leo Anderson <br />Commissioner Charles LaDue <br />Commissioner Joe Wivoda <br /> <br />Members Absent: <br /> <br />Chairperson David Bawden <br />Commissioner Sharon Jensen <br /> <br />Also Present: <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik <br />Community Development Director Cindy Sherman <br />Community Development Assistant Sean Walther <br /> <br />CALL TO ORDER <br /> <br />Acting Chairperson Deemer convened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m. <br /> <br />PRESENTATION <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik explained an application was received for a conditional use permit <br />from the Congregation of Jehovah Witnesses to expand their church facility at 13751 Dolomite <br />Street NW to include a utility shed for equipment storage purposes. In 1978, the City Council <br />issued a conditional use permit to the Jehovah Witness Congregation to establish a church in the <br />commercial district. Now the church has a need to construct an accessory structure in which to <br />store their lawn equipment. Expansion of a conditional use to include another structure requires a <br />new conditional use permit. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Frolik stated the addition of the 192 square foot storage shed to the site <br />does not conflict with the 35-percent lot coverage restriction. The applicants are proposing to <br />side the storage shed with vinyl siding. The site plan shows that the shed is proposed to be 23 <br />feet from the rear or south property line and it is not clear how far it will be from Dolomite Street <br />or the west property line. Staff recommends that the conditional use permit require the structure <br />be sited on the property in accordance with the B-3 Highway Business District regulations. This <br />would require the shed to be located 35 feet from the south property line and no closer to <br />Dolomite Street than the principal building. <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Planning Commission/November 2, 1998 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
