<br />Background/Discussion
<br />The subject parcel was granted a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in 2023 but has yet to be recorded. The
<br />property owner has applied for a new CUP to facilitate a joint operation of their current use on two parcels,
<br />one in Elk River and the other in Ramsey. The business has been, and continues to operate, on both parcels
<br />and staff have not received any complaints as it relates to their Elk River operation.
<br />
<br />Through the CUP, a master plan can be reviewed and approved to accommodate their use while having a
<br />uniform set of uses, rules, regulations, and site amenities that work for both municipalities and conforms to
<br />each city’s Comprehensive Plans.
<br />
<br />The property is 3.83 acres in size and is zoned I-3 General Industrial, where bus, motor vehicle, and
<br />implement storage require a Conditional Use Permit . NorthStar Truck & RV Parking LLC is seeking the CUP
<br />to provide outdoor storage of Semis (tractor and/or trailer), motor vehicles, recreational vehicles, trailers,
<br />boats, light and heavy equipment, and vehicle storage, and shipping containers.
<br />
<br />The subject parcel is part of a larger parcel divided between two cities with approximately 6.75 acres of
<br />additional land in Ramsey.
<br />
<br />The site is currently fenced, but no security gate has been installed, and clients have 24-hour access to the
<br />property. The owner will be the sole employee working on-site. The applicant asked about the possibility of
<br />installing a temporary guard shack, such as a job site trailer, to house hardware in a heated structure for
<br />operating a security gate. Staff expressed concerns about the size of such a structure and the potential for it
<br />to be used as a sleeping area. Therefore, staff recommends that the guard shack be limited to a maximum size
<br />of 25 square feet and be positioned near the entrance gate.
