<br /> <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br />January 28, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 2 of 8 <br />temporary guard shack. He also requested the commission provide input to staff on businesses that are <br />already operating and not in compliance with city ordinances, and to recommend a timeline to <br />complete all required conditions. <br /> <br />Chair Beise opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />Nikolya Vladyka, no address given, stated he felt this project was dragging on too long but did <br />understand there were two cities involved. He stated due to the city of Ramsey changing their mind and <br />their lack of communication, he had not received the requested paperwork. He stated his concern <br />regarding Condition 12, which states no repairs or maintenance on site, as they would now like to build <br />a drive-thru building/repair shop on the property, but they were not sure where to locate the building, <br />and unsure if the building could straddle both properties/cities. <br /> <br />Chair Beise stated the request for tonight's meeting doesn't indicate there will be a building on the Elk <br />River parcel. He stated if they recommend approval tonight, it will not include a building. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked the applicant if his intent was to construct a building to repair vehicles. <br /> <br />Mr. Vladyka stated that was their intent but unsure where it would be located. He stated there were <br />questions about who gets paid the taxes on the building, which public safety agency would respond to <br />emergencies on the properties, electricity, etc. He stated he wants to meet with the city of Ramsey to <br />either move the building entirely onto the Ramsey parcel or partially on both. He stated he is still <br />waiting for paperwork from the city of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson noted Condition 2, which states all vehicles stored on the property need to be <br />licensed and operable, which conflicts with this new intention of having a shop to repair vehicles. <br /> <br />Commissioner Booth asked Mr. Vladyka if the Planning Commission should delay action on their <br />request. <br /> <br />Mr. Vladyka requested to continue this application for two more weeks to figure out what is going on <br />with the city of Ramsey and determine the best location for the proposed building. <br /> <br />Chair Beise stated the Planning Commission would continue the request to the next Planning <br />Commission meeting, which is February 25. <br /> <br />Commissioner Booth asked Mr. Vladyka if they have a building design and plans to submit to the city. <br /> <br />Mr. Vladyka stated they do have preliminary blueprints and where they want the building positioned on <br />the properties. <br /> <br />There being no one else available to speak, Chair Beise closed the public hearing. <br /> <br />Mr. Leeseberg indicated the applicant could waive the 60-Day Rule to allow the timeline to be <br />extended. Mr. Vladyka agreed on the record to waive the 60-Day Rule. Staff will follow up with this <br />request in writing from the applicant. <br /> <br />Mr. Leeseberg stated Condition 2 – unlicensed and inoperable vehicles being allowed on the property - <br />is allowed but was not part of the initial request and staff will have to review this additional request.
