The property owner has applied for a new CUP to facilitate a joint operation of their current use on two parcels, one in Elk River and the other in Ramsey. The business has been, and continues to operate, on both parcels. Through the CUP, a master plan can be reviewed and approved to accommodate their use while having a uniform set of uses, rules, regulations, and site amenities that work for both municipalities and conform to each city’s Comprehensive Plans.

The representative expressed a preference for a temporary guard shack larger than the 5’ x 5’ structure recommended by staff, instead proposing a 10’ x 20’ structure to accommodate both a guard shack and office space. The commission agreed that allowing a temporary structure until November 1, 2025, was reasonable, giving the applicant time to consider a permanent solution. The commission did discuss at their January 28, 2025, meeting whether or not to require the lot to be paved with asphalt to be consistent with Ramsey’s side, but they did not make a recommendation either way at their Page 75 of 304
