ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – April 6, 2022 7 Commissioner Jefferys explained she would like to see that Mr. Spicer has the maximum security measures in place and suggested another condition be added to address this concern. She suggested this condition read: The City is assured that the level of security provided at this residence matches the potential risk due to the nature of the business and shall be approved by the Ramsey County Sheriff. Chair Vijums commented this condition could be added but questioned who would determine what the proper level would be. Commissioner Wicklund stated he appreciated these comments and suggested Condition 8 be amended to require the applicant to provide contracted video security services. He indicated this would provide a definition or measurement as to what type of security should be provided. Commissioner Weber suggested this motion for a condition be amended in order to have the security provided be approved by the Sheriff’s Department. Commissioner Jefferys stated she would like to keep her condition separate from Condition 8. She stated she did not know what the proper level of security would be or what measures should be put in place or not be put in place and would like the sheriff’s department to make this determination. Councilmember Holmes recalled the City requested feedback from the County Sheriff on security at E Street Flats and we did get their recommendation on appropriate level of security and this same request could be made of the Sheriff’s Department for this property. Chair Vijums suggested the condition read: The level of security is approved at this residence as determined by the County Sheriff in coordination with City staff. Commissioner Jefferys indicated she would like her language to remain as is in order to address the level of risk this business potentially may bring into the neighborhood. She recommended Condition 9 read: The level of security is adequate to address the potential risks as determined by the Ramsey County Sheriff. Commissioner Jefferys moved, seconded by Commissioner Weber, to add Condition 9 to read as follows: The level of security is adequate to address the potential risks as determined by the Ramsey County Sheriff. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). Commissioner Weber moved and Commissioner Wicklund seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 22-003 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a Class II Accessory Home Occupation at 1682 Wedgewood Circle based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the nine (9) conditions in the April 6, 2022, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS None.
