family business in an agricultural zoning.
Wm. Andrick - 3277 Milbank, Oakdale
Mr. Jack Lux - Swager Bros Realty Co.
W. C. Rambo - Current Owner
The property in question is located in the Northwest quarter
of the Northeast quater of Section III.
Street address 9591 - 60th Street North - Mr. Rambo's property.
The property consists of approximately 28 acres.
At the present time a cermic shop is operated on the premises
in a separate building. (It was noted by the Planning Commission
that it has operated for 12 years without the benefit of proper
zoning or a special use permit.)
If the property changes hands, the new owner, Mr. Andrich •
would like to operate a retail sales and repair shop for motor-
cycles and snowmobiles.
He stated that the hours of operation would be 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
two days a week, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. three days and Saturday 9 a.m. to
4 p.m.
Mr. Andrich further stated that all equipment, new and used,
would be under cover.
The planning commission would not recommend spot zoning.
The business in question would not qualify as a family home occup-
ation.
The only alternative would be a special use permit on a year-
ly basis. Even a special use permit is questionable in an agri-
cultural zone.
It was suggested that further study be made and more infor-
mation brought in.
