Page 24 of 90 ISSUES ANALYSIS Adjacent Uses. Uses adjacent to the subject site include Highway 36 to the north, Osgood Avenue to the east, and the Andersen Corporation offices to the south and west. Comprehensive Plan. The property is designated as Commercial on the Proposed Land Use Map. The continued use of the site as a mixed -use shopping center with retail, service, and restaurant use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Zoning. The property is zoned B-2 General Business District. Section 401.30.E.12 of the Zoning Ordinance lists cannabis retailers as a conditional use in the B-2 General Business District. Cryptic Stock Movement has received preapproval from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management for a microbusiness license that includes a retail endorsement. The definition of microbusiness allows for both growing and sales of cannabis products. The B-2 District only allows for a cannabis retailer and no growing operations. A condition will be placed limiting the allowed use. The criteria for review of a conditional use are found as follows: Conditional Use Permit Criteria. The conditional use permit criteria, found in Section 401.03.A.7 of the Zoning Ordinance, are found as follows: 1. Relationship to the specific policies and provisions of the municipal comprehensive plan. 2. The conformity with present and future land uses in the area. 3. The environmental issues and geographic area involved. 4. Whether the use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. 5. The impact on character of the surrounding area. 6. The demonstrated need for such use. 7. Traffic generation by the use in relation to capabilities of streets serving the property. 8. The impact upon existing public services and facilities including parks, schools, streets, and utilities, and the City's service capacity. 9. The proposed use's conformity with all performance standards contained herein (i.e., parking, loading, noise, etc.). Comment: The Planning Commission should review the above criteria regarding the request for the conditional use permits with this application. City Staff sees no issues with the request as proposed. Regulation of Cannabis Businesses and Hemp Businesses. Section 1413 of the City Code provides the process and registration of cannabis and hemp businesses. This is the first application for this type of business in the City, and Section 1413.08 limits the number of cannabis businesses to four. Cannabis Businesses and Hemp Businesses. Section 401.18 of the Zoning Ordinance provides minimum buffer requirements, hours of operation, and regulations related to noise, odor, signage, lighting, security, and outdoor use.

The Applicant has received preapproval from the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (MnOCM) for a Microbusiness License which includes a retail endorsement. The Applicant is proposing to use an existing Suite in the multi -tenant building located at 14729 60t'1 St. North for the cannabis retail dispensary, and no other cannabis uses are proposed at this location. The suite is an interior corner unit on the northeast corner facing the Highway 36 right-of-way. The Applicant intends to remodel the existing —1,880 square foot suite to meet their operational needs and to comply with the MnOCM standards and all City building and fire codes. Site Plan and Exterior Improvements The existing site is developed with an L-shaped multi -tenant building on three separate parcels with a total of —68,020 square feet of retail space. The proposed cannabis retail store is located in the north wing of the building near the northeast corner. Surface parking surrounds the building on the north, east and south sides of the building. Customers are anticipated to park in the existing north and east parking lot areas since the primary public entrance is on the north side of the suite. There is an existing access door on the south side of the suite (rear) that will not be used for regular operations and will remain locked at all times, but will provide emergency access to the unit. No significant exterior improvements or modifications are planned. A new sign will be placed on the north elevation and the design, size, lighting and location will comply with MnOCM rules as well as all applicable City ordinances. Customer Experience and Floor Plan The floor plan shows the internal operational layout of the cannabis retail dispensary. The north half of the suite will be used for public -facing retail sales and the south half will be used for back of house, employee and storage uses. The public retail area will be remodeled to be light, open, bright and welcoming. Customers will enter the suite from the north and will queue and wait for the next available budtender (sales person) that will assist with transactions from behind the Budbar. Customers will not be permitted behind the Budbar or to Application for CUP to Operate a Cannabis Retail Dispensary at 14729 60" St N 1 City of Oak Park Heights, MN Page 30of90 CRYPTIC STOCK MOVEMENT, LLC access the back of house area noted on the floor plan.

All products will be stocked and stored in secure safes located in the back of house and will only be accessible through employee key card access. The back of house area will always be secured and monitored in compliance with MnOCM rules and regulations. No customers will be permitted in this area, and the restroom will serve the employees only and will not be available for public use.

All purchases, inventory and cash must Cash Management I be managed in compliance with MnOCM rules and regulations which requires final plan documentation. The following overview of the customer tracking and cash management process is provided: Customer Transactions and Tracking All customer transactions and foot traffic are monitored through the point -of -sale (POS) system and surveillance cameras. As described in subsequent sections, surveillance cameras must be installed to comply with all coverage standards and surveillance footage must be backed up and to a specific resolution standard to ensure that still photos can be taken from the footage. In addition, the POS system must be in a format that is compatible with the MnOCM reporting and tracking requirements. Any discrepancies or questions regarding customer transactions can be investigated by reviewing POS data and surveillance footage. Internal Cash Management Process The cannabis retail store will be a cash -only operation. As such, it is essential to manage the cash on -site to ensure the safety of customers and employees. On -site cash is counted each morning and evening and reconciled to ensure accuracy. In the event of a discrepancy that cannot be easily resolved, the POS and surveillance cameras will be used to aid in any necessary investigation to reconcile and determine the cause of the discrepancy. The registers will be prepared each morning and verified cash count slips prepared to provide the accounting at the beginning of each business day. Cash counts will be broken down each evening, with the funds returned to the reserve cash in the designated cash safe. Application for CUP to Operate a Cannabis Retail Dispensary at 14729 60' St N 2 City of Oak Park Heights, MN Page 31 of90 CRYPTIC STOCK MOVEMENT, LLC All cash is securely locked and stored during business hours and overnight in the designated cash safe. The cash collected through transactions throughout the day will be deposited by the designated retail employees into the Cash Wizard Smart Safes (CWSS). The CWSS are a type of safe that essentially operates as a reverse ATM. The designated employee deposits money into the CWSS and then receives an automated cash slip detailing the deposit amount. The CWSS deposit can be reconciled remotely by managers and by corporate officers. The cash inside the CWSS can only be accessed and picked up by an armored courier service and the frequency of pick-up will be carefully managed. Initially, we anticipate that the armored courier service will handle pick-ups twice a week with the ability to increase frequency as needed based on the volume of cash onsite. The intent is to limit the amount of cash onsite and the transaction volume will be monitored carefully. Additionally, armored couriers service each location weekly to collect deposited cash and to deliver change orders. Change orders can be requested by retail managers and exchanged 1:1 with on -site cash to maintain consistent cash reserve levels. This will also limit the amount of cash at the location. !-------------------------------------------------------------------!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Security Plan Cameras will be installed at all exterior and interior access points/doors. Cameras will monitor interior retail areas and secure storage areas. All cameras and security will be installed in compliance with Minnesota Statute Chapter 342 as administered by the Minnesota Office of Cannabis Management (MnOCM).

This will allow for tracking employee activities and employee access to storage areas. The exterior doors on the south side of the unit will be locked at all times and will only be used to provide emergency access, not to be used as part of regular operations. -------------------------------------------------------------------!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exterior Lighting Exterior lighting will be installed at all exterior access points/doors.

Please note that you have 18 months to obtain a cannabis business license upon receiving this notification. Please be aware this notice does not convey license approval. Your application is moving forward, but you are not yet authorized to conduct any of the activities for any license type. To continue the process and receive your license, you must first complete the following steps: 1. Engage with local governments. Begin discussions with your local government early to understand and meet all local requirements, including zoning, any necessary conditional use permits, and retail registration (if applicable). You must secure a physical location that complies with local zoning ordinances and update your application documents showing you are compliant with all local requirements. You are strongly encouraged to do this at the earliest stage possible before you invest in any location. 2. Submit final documents. Preliminarily approved applicants will submit final application materials to OCM when they can demonstrate compliance with all applicable rules. The materials include details about the site location, final operational documentation, and documentation of any ownership changes, and are referred to as final plans of record. Links to complete online fillable forms that will make up your final plans of record are at: https:Hmn.gov/ocm/businesses/licensing/final-plan-of-record.0sp. 3. Once you have completed and submitted the online forms, you will receive PDFs of your final plans of record via email that must be uploaded to the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) through Accela. OCM will forward your application to the local government indicated on your application. 4. Local government zoning compliance certification. Local governments have 30 days to certify that your application complies with zoning and land use ordinances. Important: be sure to engage early with your local government so that you understand their timelines and process for local zoning compliance certification. OCM recommends that preliminarily approved applicants wait until all the required items for local approval have been met with their local government before they submit their site registration. Additionally, be sure to remain in close communication with the local government to ensure that they are prepared to review the application. Please review the guidance for local governments regarding zoning compliance certification located here: htti)s:Hmn.aov/ocm/1ocal-governments/Iocalgovs.0si) for awareness on what local governments will be required to complete for this stage.

Once payment is received, OCM will issue your cannabis business license with the appropriate endorsements. 7. Retail registration (only for license types engaging in retail direct to consumers). If your license involves retail sales, you must obtain a local retail registration from your local government after you have received your cannabis business license. The approval process for this is determined by the local government. The licensing guidebook detailing the above steps is available on the OCM licensing webpage; please review the information carefully. The guidebook contains important information about how to successfully complete the licensing process and also includes several suggestions about working on securing local approvals for zoning compliance and local retail registration. You should also review Minnesota Statutes Chapter 342 for more information about statutory requirements. OCM does not provide legal or business advice. To the extent that you feel you may need such services, you are encouraged to seek those out independently.

("RACE HOLDER") By Title: Race Director City of Oak Park Heights ("City") Chuck Dougherty, Mayor WIN 01ILI 0 Jacob Rife, City Administrator Page 53 of 90 Exhibit A Route Maps and Site Plan Page 54 of 90 V",— M111A Special Event Information - Ragnar Relay Minnesota The Ragnar Relay Minnesota is a 200-mile-long distance running relay race proposed to start in St. Paul and end in Duluth August 8-9, 2025. Runners will experience "Minnesota Nice" on a scenic course that runs north on miles and miles of roads and trails! We anticipate 230 teams comprised of 12 individuals and 2 vehicles ("Ultra" teams have 6 participants and 1 vehicle), therefore we expect about 2,500 participants in total, but only 230 or less runners spread over 30-50 miles of course at any given time. Teams take turns running relay style to complete the course, picking up a runner and dropping off the next runner at each of the 36 exchange points along the course. Parking/Traffic Flow: • Ragnar teams start in waves staggered from 5:00 am — 1:00 pm to spread participants along the course, allowing about an 8-10 hour time frame to pass through communities. • We anticipate less than 300 parking spots during our peak hours for Ragnar vehicles at major exchanges. Throughout most of the race, you can expect only 30-60 vehicles onsite. Each team is responsible for providing two support vehicles, with six runners in each vehicle. The first vehicle will drop off the first runner at the start, and then proceed to the first exchange point. At the first exchange, the vehicle will drop off the second runner and pick up the first runner when that runner's leg is complete. Teams will repeat this pattern for six legs until they hand off to their second vehicle. This leapfrogging pattern will continue all the way to the finish line. Race Personnel Onsite: • Ragnar will have an exchange manager and volunteers present during the entire race at each exchange point. Additionally, Ragnar staff will be present throughout the event to ensure everything is running smoothly. Sanitation and Garbage Disposal: • Ragnar will provide portable toilets at all exchanges. • Ragnar staff and volunteers will manage all trash clean up. A trash dumpster will be provided to collect team trash and will be removed after the event. Safety, Emergencies and First Aid Runner safety is of foremost concern. Before entering the course, teams must go through a safety gear check and training. All runners sign waivers acknowledging that the course includes areas where there may be traffic congestion and that they must obey race rules, which require observance of all applicable traffic rules and regulations. Runners and community residents can notify Ragnar through the Ragnar Race Command number, 661- RAGNAR-1 (661-724-6271), with any concerns of problems along the course. Medical personnel are at each Major Exchange point, approximately every 25-35 miles of the course. If a runner encounters a first aid issue at a minor exchange, they are to proceed to the closest major exchange to be treated. In the event of an emergency, runners are directed to contact 911 and then notify Ragnar staff. Page 55 of 90 V"'_ M11s Volunteers Exchanges are staffed by a combination of team required volunteers and community groups and charities trained on site by Ragnar Staff. Groups and charities are given a donation for providing volunteers to manage logistics such as parking, exchange chute details, team tracking and general runner directions. Volunteers are released by a staff member once the last runner has come through. Community Impact Communities directly benefit economically from money spent by participants for food, lodging and other services. Additionally, Ragnar partners with regionally based charities and groups for each event to encompass an even more positive impact on the local communities. These overnight relays benefit both participants and the communities where they are presented. Participants have been unfailingly enthusiastic about their experiences and there are always a wide variety of human -interest stories associated with these events. These range from the experienced runner finding special meaning through participation in a running event as a member of a team, to the first-time runner who participates at the urging of a friend and discovers previously unknown abilities and a love for running; to families, businesses, old friends and other groups who enhance their relationships as they individually and collectively test their limits; to teams who simply run for a cause, whether in honor of a deceased friend or relative, or to raise money for local charities or another charity of special importance to the team. Insurance We are sanctioned under USA Track and Field. If you would like a Certificate of Liability Insurance for $1 million in coverage, we are happy to provide that upon request. Please inform us what entity to have listed on that certificate.
