N.W. (PIN 25-32-25-23-0006) o o That on December 17, 1985, the City of Ramsey approved issuance of a conditional use permit to Mr. Gerald Root (Permit Holder) for an auto/sales repair operation on the property generally known as 14600 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. and legally described as follows: That part of the Southwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 25, Township 32, Range 25, Anoka County, Minnesota, described as follows: Commencing at the West Quarter corner of said Section 25, thence 90 degrees 00 minutes east, along the south line of said Northwest Quarter, a distance of 829.6 feet; thence north 30 degrees 49 minutes 30 seconds west, a distance of 401.96 feet; thence north 29 degrees 55 minutes 10 seconds west a distance of 214.2 feet to the actual point of beginning; thence continuing north 29 degrees 55 minutes 10 seconds west a distance of 288.37 feet, thence north 60 degrees 04 minutes 50 seconds east, a distance of 247.03 feet more or less, to the center line of County State Aid Highway No. 5; thence south 29 degrees 55 minutes 10 seconds east, along the centerline of said Highway No. 5, a distance of 416.97 feet; thence south 87 degrees 34 minutes 50 seconds west, a distance of 278.5 feet, more or less, to the point of beginning. That the first documented violations of the conditional use Permit terms occurred on June 3, 1986. The violation consisted of outside storage of junk car parts and rubbish and activity beyond permitted hours of operation. In August of 1986, those violations expanded to include a second use of the subject property: storage of construction vehicles and equipment. The Permit Holder did not bring the operation into compliance with the terms of the conditional use permit until October 28, 1986. That on February 24, 1987, following an eight (8) month debate with the City regarding materials that qualify as durable and dustless for surfacing purposes and an incident report of business operations on Sundays, the Permit Holder successfully achieved an amendment to the conditional use permit which specified that traprock would be allowed as surfacing material for the site driveway and off-street parking area and only 'outside' operations were prohibited on Sundays. That the Permit Holder has failed to respond to City Staff requests to sign the conditional use pern~it. That on May 29, 1987, the City forwarded written notification to the Permit Holder regarding violations of the terms of the conditional use permit consisting of outside storage of vehicle parts, inventory, equipment and rubbish.
