Planning Commission Minutes <br />January 28, 2025 <br />--------- <br />Page 3 of 8 <br />Leeseberg indicated the building straddling two properties will be a logistical nightmare and access to <br />the building can only come from the Elk River side if the building is located on the Ramsey side. <br />Commissioner Johnson stated he is comfortable with the conditions as outlined as long as there is no <br />junk stored and they remove the condition of inoperable vehicles if a building is built. <br />Mr. Leeseberg asked for the Planning Commission's preference regarding Condition 7, driving and <br />parking areas. He stated Elk River's ordinance allows Class 5, but Ramsey requires bituminous <br />pavement. The commission discussed having the more restrictive requirement to maintain consistency <br />and be cooperative with the city of Ramsey's requirements. <br />Commissioner Booth asked if the commission should discuss the temporary guard shack. <br />Mr. Leeseberg explained the applicant is requesting a guard shack to aid in operating the entrance gate. <br />The Planning Commission was supportive of a temporary guard shack until a building is constructed. <br />Commissioner Dornan suggested a sunset date for the guard shack. <br />Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Zahler to postpone the <br />Conditional Use Permit Amendment request by Northstar Trucking & RV Parking, LLC, <br />to February 25, 2025. <br />Motion Carried 6-0. <br />5.3 Conditional Use Permit Amendment: Outdoor Storage, 12777 Meadowvale Road NW, Elk River <br />WinLectric <br />Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. <br />Chair Beise opened the public hearing.
