Planning Commission Meeting May 22, 2000- page 2 downsized their environmental cleanup business and would like to use a portion of the site for a garden center and landscape supply business that would occupy approximately one -acre of the 15 - acre site. Rick Suess, 5725 165th Street North, said he spoke to Pat Iwon about shortening the hours on the original permit in exchange for longer hours for the retail business. Pat Iwon said he agreed with the proposed hours and would enforce it with his tenants. McRoberts asked if the issue of the exterior storage had been resolved and Iwon said the trailers and pallets would be gone by the end of the following week. Rosenquist asked if any police reports had been filed because of the noises coming from the site late at night. The Community Development Director said there had but the Sheriff was unable to determine where the noise was coming from. Malaski pointed out that the applicant had not submitted a landscaping plan and the Community Development Director said that the site was heavily landscaped, and a landscape plan was not a required submittal for a conditional use permit amendment if the configuration of the property was not changing. Malaski said she felt that monument signage and landscape plans should be included with applications for property along the Hwy 61 corridor. Kleissler asked that the condition pertaining to the height of the sign be amended to explain how it was to be measured. Malaski made motion, Peltier seconded, to recommend approval of the conditional use permit, and instructed staff to inspect the site to ensure they were in compliance with their existing permit. All Ayes. Motion carried. Ramberg CUP Amendment for Rodeos The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request of Dan Ramberg, 5676 170th Street North, for an amendment to his conditional use permit related to the number of rodeo events allowed on the property. The existing conditional use permit allows three rodeos not to exceed twelve days per year. Ramberg would like to remove the restriction on the number of events, but keep the limit at twelve days. Schumann opened the public hearing but there were no comments. Ramberg said he interpreted the existing permit as allowing 12 days of rodeos with no limit on rodeo events. He stated that he has already scheduled more than three events.
