Conditional Use Permit (Olsen) The Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider the request of John Olson, 14728 Irish Ave. N., to renew his Conditional Use Permit to use 20% of the 7.75 acres he owns in the Agricultural District for processing and storing firewood. The permit was originally issued in June of 1993 for a period of 24 months. The Olsen's have appeared before the Planning Commission and City Council in 1995, 1997, 1998, and 1999 for renewal of the permit. There had been no complaints to the City regarding their operation. The City Planner read the public notice as published in the White Bear Press, then discussed conditions of the special use permit with the Planning Commission and Mr. Ramberg. Of concern was the 24 -month renewal requirement, and the fencing and screening of the exterior storage, which is required under the new ordinance. Puleo opened the public hearing. Norman Danner, 8478 147th St. N., felt Mr. Olsen was very conscientious of his neighbors. John Thomas, 15457 Jeffrey Ave. N., stated he is in the same business and felt they should not be required to come back every year for renewal. The Planning Commission agreed to recommend the Conditional Use Permit be effective for three years. Puleo closed the public hearing. Puleo made motion, McRoberts seconded, to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit for processing and storing wood with the revised conditions stated in the City Planner's staff report. All Ayes. Motion carried. Chairperson Puleo called a 10 -minute recess. Buller left the meeting at 9:30 p.m. Conditional Use Permit (Kieger Enterprises, Inc.)
