Planning commission recommends special-use permit for auto salvage yard at 73384 345th St
Summary
Zoning staff said the property had previously been an auto salvage yard and that special-use permits do not transfer between owners; the commission unanimously recommended approval of a new permit for owners Mark and Lisa Anderson. No written public comments were filed.
Zoning Administrator Brianna Sanders told the St. James Planning Commission that the property at 73384 345th St previously operated as an auto salvage yard and was transferred to new owners earlier in 2026; she said special-use permits in the city are not transferable between property owners.
The commission opened a public hearing on the request at 5:17 p.m. and heard no written comments submitted in advance. Sanders presented the applicants' request on behalf of Mark and Lisa Anderson and explained the city policy that requires a new permit after ownership changes.
After staff presentation and no public testimony, Chair Bob Rinne moved to recommend approval of the special-use permit; Commissioner Jacob Beckius seconded. The motion carried unanimously, recorded as 4-0.
The commission closed the public hearing, reopened the regular meeting and recorded its recommendation in the minutes. The minutes show no conditions or amendments accompanying the recommendation and do not record any public objections or written protests. The commission adjourned at 5:26 p.m.
The recommendation is the commission's formal action to forward the permit request consistent with local procedures.
