<br /> ---- ---------- <br /> " . <br />Arden Hills Council 4 April 11, 1994 . <br />other nursery case had requested a reimbursement for fees <br />associated with his Special Use Permit request. <br />Fritsinger noted that Mr. Weiss had paid his appropriate <br />fees associated with his Special Use Permit. Hicks <br />commented that this type of request would probably never <br />come up again as a new business would pay any appropriate <br />fees with the submission of an application. <br />Probst noted that there could be a possibility that an <br />applicant might address the Council 20 years from now and <br />ask for a reimbursement of fees. <br />Malone stated that currently Amoco and Ryder could be in <br />the same situation. He further noted that he appreciated <br />Mr. Goserud's point of view, however, the application <br />process does state there is a fee associated at the time <br />of application, and this fee is necessary for the general <br />welfare of the City. <br />Probst noted there were differences in the Special Use <br />Permit applications from Amoco and Ryder as specific <br />modifications and improvements were requested. The issue <br />with Mr. Goserud's Special Use Permit was that his . <br />business was simply a paperwork process to meet ordinance <br />requirements. This was not a request for a Special Use <br />Permit to undertake any modifications or improvements. <br />Person stated that this business started as a smaller <br />business, and probably was not subject to the Special Use <br />Permit process initially. Because of the changes and <br />enlargement of the business, more control now needed to <br />be taken. There had been different changes made over the <br />years to this business, such as adding Christmas tree <br />sales, which resulted in an increase in traffic concerns <br />and some effect to the health and safety of the area. She <br />further stated a public notice process is used through <br />publications in the City's official newspaper under legal <br />notices. <br />After further discussion, Council concurred that this <br />business had, in fact, changed over the years, and that <br />those changes are typical of ~hat had happened to other <br />businesses. The City had not refunded the fee in those <br />cases where other businesses had expanded. <br />Aplikowski commented that a staff review outlining the <br />changes that had taken place over the years would have <br />been appropriate to assist the Council in their . <br />considerations of this request. <br />
