515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Dear Applicant: MAYOR Michael 1. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim IaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen ADMINISTRATOR Joel R Hanson This letter and the attached material intend to assist Ryan Industrial Park applicants with the formal processing of a Conditional Use Permit. The City of Little Canada uses this process to control use issues that are special, unusual or have extraordinary limitations peculiar to the use of the property for the protection of the public welfare and the integrity of the Municipal Land Use Plan. Our goal is to make this permit process as economical and efficient as possible. In Ryan Industrial Park, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for the following uses. • Open and outdoor storage as a principal or accessory use. • Open or outdoor service, sale, and rental as a principal or accessory use. • Motor vehicle sales lots. The City of Little Canada is offering a limited opportunity of a reduced application fee deposit of $250.00 including a cost agreement and required documentation, to the Ryan Industrial Park Property and Business Owners, if the permit is applied for within the next six months and work is completed by December 31, 1999. If work is not completed by December 31, 1999 the property owner will be responsible for additional process fees and subject to zoning code citations. The enclosed documents will outline the requirements and procedures for this process. Our City Planner has staff hours from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. one Monday each month (typically the third Monday, but check with City Staff for exact dates). It may be helpful for you to meet with the City Planner before an application is filed. This enables the Planner to review sketch plans and requirements with you prior to your furnishing plans that may have to be changed. We would encourage you to arrange an appointment for a pre - application meeting during the Planner's staff hours. The Planning Commission on the second Thursday of each month holds public reviews, and their recommendations are forwarded to the City Council who generally holds public hearings on the fourth Wednesday of each month. All required plans arid documents, together with the appropriate fees, must be submitted at least 17 days prior to the Planning Commission meeting. We make every effort to keep costs down. You can have a great impact on controlling these costs by submitting completed documents and plans. By making application, we are not guaranteeing approval. There will be no credit given in cases where requests are denied. Sincerely, Elizabeth Mursko Joel R. Hanson Code Enforcement Officer City Administrator Page 40
