M/S/P Graves/Armstrong - to approve a shoreland permit for David Brown, 7990 50th Street N., to construct a 26' x 20' garage based on Jim McNamara's letter stating all setback requirements can be met; therefore; no variances are necessary. (Motion carried. 4-0). F. Application for Conditional Use Permit Ron Mack/Ron's Sanitation, 5749 Lake Elmo Avenue Ron Mack, Owner of Ron's Sanitation, has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to store his trucks from his sanitation business at 5749 Lake Elmo Avenue in the RR Zoning District. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 23, 1990 and recommended (9-0) the Council not grant a CUP to operate Ron's Sanitation in a Rural Residential Zoning District because this use was not in compliance with the Comp Plan and not compatible to the RR Zoning District. Ray Flynn, Attorney for Ron Mack pointed out contrast of various other uses in the RR Zoning District which this property is currently zoned: 1. Asphalt Plant received a C.U.P. in a RR Zone. 2. Mr. Bergmann runs a nursery which is a commercial operation and a concrete business at the same location with a C.U.P. based on plant growing. 3. Mr. Powers has been running a dog kennel for 7 or 8 years with no C.U.P. 4. An individual is storing construction equipment about one-half mile South of this property with no C.U.P. Flynn raised the question "does Mr. Mack need a C.U.P. to store his trucks on the property? The request is not to run his business out of this property." The Council pointed out the asphalt plant was temporary in order for Hwy. 36 to be paved. This saved the taxpayers money, traffic time, wear and tear on the freeway and was totally cleaned up. Dan Powers stated his hobby is raising 3 adult dogs and. 1 National Champion. He has one litter a year. He shows the dogs, but there is no grooming or operates a commercial operation. Powers stated "I agree I stand in arrears in not applying for the proper permit."
