Box 490 <br /> Elk River, Mn 55330 <br /> Re: Request for conditional use permit; case of Lee Fredrickson <br /> Dear Steve: <br /> We have received your public hearing notice regarding Lee Fredrickson's request for a conditional <br /> use permit for a used car sales and auto repair operation on Lots 8 and 9, Block 2, Ar-Mon <br /> Commercial Park. <br /> • The subject property is located on the common property line with the City of Ramsey and the <br /> parcels east of the subject property are zoned B-1 Business. The requested conditional use is not <br /> compatible with Ramsey's zoning as the B-1 Business District does not allow for used car lots and <br /> auto repair. Ramsey's B-1 Business District allows for retail business, eating and drinking <br /> establishments, offices and banks, personal and professional services, commercial car washes, <br /> funeral homes', medical clinics, animal clinics, day care centers and adult uses-accessory. Any <br /> existing auto related businesses in the vicinity are lawful non-conforming. <br /> If the City of Elk River is inclined to approve the request for conditional use permit, it would be <br /> appreciated if Ramsey's performance standards for used car lots in the B-3 Highway#10 Business <br /> District were taken into consideration. In summary, we require paved driveways, display, <br /> customer/employee parking, and maneuvering areas. All paved surfaces must be finished with B- <br /> 612 concrete curbing. The City of Ramsey has also initiated a 17 foot setback for display areas <br /> from the highway right of way. Exterior storage of parts and equipment is prohibited. <br /> Any consideration given to the comments above would be greatly appreciated. If you have any <br /> questions or need additional information,please don't hesitate to call. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> Sylvia Frolik <br /> Zoning Administrator <br />
