COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT TO
REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT OF INSTALLING A PERMANENT IMPROVED
SURFACE ON THE OUTDOOR STORAGE AREA DRIVEWAY AT
BAUER WELDING, 2159 MUSTANG DRIVE;
PLANNING CASE CM2011-001
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council approved Resolution 6319 for a
conditional use permit for an outdoor storage area at Bauer Welding on August 9, 2004;
and,
WHEREAS, Bauer Welding & Metal Fabricators, located at 2159 Mustang Drive
is zoned 1-1, Industrial; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows outdoor storage
areas in 1-1 zoning districts; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant has requested that the condition of requiring the
storage area driveway be improved with a hard surface be removed; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission and City Councii have reviewed this
request and has examined the potential adverse effects that could result from such an
amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council
makes the following finding of fact related to this request:
1. The lot in question, 2159 Mustang Drive, is zoned 1-1, Industrial.
2. The Future Land Use Map from the City's Comprehensive Plan designates
this area as Light Industrial.
3. Bauer Welding is within the City's industrial park and as such, outdoor
storage is not out of character for the surrounding area and the storage
area driveway is not visible from the street or adjacent manufactured home
park.
4. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that the gravel driveway is not
causing problems with surrounding properties, as it has been in existence
for over six years and the City has not received any complaints.

5. The approval of this conditional use permit amendment would not change
the nature of the business operating on this site, and should have no
affects on the surrounding area.
6. There does not appear to be any adverse effects associated with this
proposed conditional use permit amendment for Bauer Welding.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council
approves the conditional use permit amendment for Bauer Welding to remove the
condition stating "the gravel driveway shall only be permitted for three years, at which
time it must be constructed as a permanent improved driveway."
Adopted this 11th day of July, 2011.
