Mayor Warkentien called on Mr. Jack Hanley of the engineering firm of Fowler-Hanley, Inc. and Mr. Frank Nemeth of the architectural firm of Ralph Rapson & Associates, Inc. to make their presentation on the World AGROmart proposal. Mayor Warkentien opened the dis- cussion by stating that so far the plans for World AGRAmart were nebulous, but felt that the people of Falcon Heights should know about the general planning of World AGROmart and the firms involved. He further stated that Mr. Hanley had tried to schedule a meeting before the Council previously, but felt that at that time there would have been to marry questions because of Minnesota's open meeting law. Mayor Waxicentien stated that the World AGR;Omart plan for foreign nations to exhibit was supported by Senator Hubert H~unphrey. He also noted that Senator Ashbach, Mr. Lowell Hargens of the Farmers Union Grain Terminal Association, and businessmen in the area did not know anything of the proposed World AGROmart plan. Representatives Neil Dieterich and Walter Hansen, as well as Senator Ashbach,, were present at the meeting to obtain more information, and were introduced by Mayor Warkentien. Mr. Hanley and Mr. Nemeth presented a slide presentation that showed the various proposals, including office space, convention halls, a race track, hotels, exhibit space, mono-rail system, a shopping mall, and a domed stadium that would seat 55,000 to 70,000 people. They stated that the plans are currently in the "embryonic stage.+' It was noted that there would have to be an environmental impact study that would take a year or two, that an economic feasibility study would have to be made, and that the Fair Board, Metro Council, Executive Council of the State of Minnesota, and that the Falcon Heights City Council would yet have to make a decision. There was a question and answer session after the slide presentation that consisted of the following: Q Dr. R. C. Eggert, 1868 Simpson: "What is the role for the Village in the planning and approval or disapproval of this project? Wi11 Falcon Heights have any voice in the decisions (referend~uns)? Who are the financial backers?" Mayor Warkentien stated that the role of the Village will be the last analysis of what we would want and dontt want because an emrironmental impact study must be made. "The land is governed by the State Fair Board, and beyond that, the Metropolitan Council and the State of Minnesota have the final say. The Metropolitan Council is definitly in the picture, so what we hope to achieve with the Village Council is to have our voice heard and make it heard loud enough so that the other agencies that will be involved will listen. The matter of a referendum will probably not be in the picture." Mr. Nemeth stated that until a decision is made to do anything, there are no financial baclers. Attorney Kenecick stated that there will probably have to be some type of legislation. Q Rev. Peter Wycoff, 183~.Arona Avenue: "What political bodies must take action on this pro3ect?++ Mayor Warkentien stated that the +'State Fair Board, Metro Council, and the State of Minnesota hopefully will. Also, the legislature and th e representatives will have a definite clout in this type of development.'' FIRE REPORTS WORLD AGRIJMART _2_ / / Q Frances J. Anderson, 21118 Ione Street, Lauderdale: "There is no amount set aside in your pro forma list of costs for land acquisition. Do you expect to get the land from the state? If not, how do you expect to get it?" Mr. Hanley stated, "We don't expect to get it, but the point is that the law provides ahoy/se11/lease property. It has been the assumption that the land would be leased and that it wcyuld be located on state property." Q "Does the Dayton Hudson Corporation have at~y meney in this project?" Mr. Hanley answered "No. Only three poor firms have anything in it. There is very little money in it at this time." Q R. C. Brown, 1592 Maple Knoll Drive: "What is the reason for a r~sce track and a darned stadium to do with a World AGROmart?" Mr. Hanley stated, "fhe track is already there; the fair uses the track every year for automobile races and they're not going to get rid of it, and as I said, in the very beginning, we're not proposing a total change at the State Fair. Whatever functions and activities that are there should continue." Q D. Elving Anderson, 1775 North Fairview: "Is the domed stadium an essential part of the plan? Why would't an auditorium seating less than 5,000 satisfy the AGROmart concept?'~ Mr. Hanley stated, "I would think that if the donned stadium were not there, there would have to be some other facility nearby probably seating 5,000 for information eomrentions on scene subject." Mr. Nemeth then stated, "The answer is 'no' to the first part, but we do see in the con- cept for a facility of space that w~ old draw a sizeable amount of people together. We havn't really developed the details of the program and the answers;' Q "What changes in the feeder roads (Larpenteur and Snelling) might be required to accomodate such a complex?+' Mayor Warkentien answered, "I think that question might be prompted by the paragraph in the brochure. I think the present roads would be adequate to handle the vehicular traffic flowing to and from the World AGROmart site without causing traffic problems." Q Harry Brtuzcke: "Do you consider streets and highways will carry the stadium traffic?" Mr. Nemeth stated, 'bur proposal involved the setting in terms of trans- portation links and how our vehicles came and go. We have relied almost entirely upon the Bather, Ringrose, and Wolsfeld study of the Metro Area, which this pro3ect is eventually utilizing. Essentially, there will be no change for the proposed mass transit. We have not proposed a variation or a redeveloping of the systems other than what is already proposed.-' Q Mrs. R. H. Bonde, 1895 North Fairview: "What about roads to handle all the traffic for the big parking lots you show?" 9~ Mr. Nemeth answered, "Well, there is more parking proposed for this project than is now on the Fair Grounds, but there is no more parking proposed for~the Ringrose proposal for the transit linkage proposal." Mrs. Bonde commented that "if pari~nutual betting is allowed in this state, you will be alreac~,y to go." Mr. Nemeth answered, "Right, I don't know how to answer that statement." Q Mrs. Jerry Jenkins, 2252 Fo1we11: "When you refer to a transit system, are you talking about an elevated fixed-guideway system?" Mr. Nemeth answered, "Yes, the Metropolitan Transit Commission has not reached any conclusion. We have simply relied on two studies, one doh for the IIniversity of Minnesota, and the other the Ringrose proposal. As you know, a decision has not yet been made as to whether or not this is going to be a rail system, a fixed rail system, a bus, or what." Q Gene Palfe, 1800 West Larpenteur: "How will I benefit by the existence of the World AGROmart in my community?" Mr. Hanley stated that he could not answer that, "other than it c:auld being in tax revenue." ~? "Does this make State property taxable?-' Mr. Hanley stated, "No, not at this time." Q A. Corneim, 17t~6 North Snelling Drive: "The project is valuable, but why is the development planned north of the Fair Grounds into the residential area, and not south of the Fair Grounds from Como until the railroad yards?" Mr. Nemeth stated, "That is a good question. The answer is that we have answered the question in a way. We don't feel that the land proposal in Scheme "B" is that of the land proposal ar~r more than "A" or "C" --but, there had been land use south of Como onto the railroad tract." Q Mrs. Jane Lindberg, 1892 Carl Street, Lauderdale: "Since this project proposes an interesting combination of state owned land and/or privately owned land, what agency will have the final vote for approval or disapproval?" Mr. Nemeth answered, "The Stafie Fair Board, through the bceeutive Council. It is hard to foresee the State Legislature, but Ism sure, will be the final." Q John Carnes, 1775 North Snelling: "If AGRDmart is opearted by the State of Minnesota, will we have any means of preventing acquisition of our personal property by condemnation?" Mr. Hanley answered, "I think there is an underlying problem here that has been touched on a cov~ple of times that Itm familiar with that will have to be special legislative approval for a pro3ect like this. I think it is pretty obvious that some of these questions can only be handled by some type of action of legislation establishing a commission separate from the Fair Board to run a pro3ect like this. It seems to me that an awful lot of these questions are really unable to be answered because there isn't any present statute vehicle." -1~- // Q Alvin C. Rueter, 1603 Garden Aeenuez "What recompense to residence owners 3ust north of the parking area for Plan "B?" The traffic noise will definitly lower our property value.+' Mr. Neaneth answered, "About the same answer I've given about the indicated use of land. The very preliminary design study and what we see that modi- fication of the boundaries would be extended. We feel that it has not been studied in great detail, atxi that it is eery schematic." Q Mr. and Mrs. Bi11 Brown, 1808 Asbury: ''Would the present zoning north of Larpenteur allow this development? Comment on the peripheral effects of such development, i.e., a1a Bloomington." Councilman B1aek answered, "Present zoning wcavld not." Mayor Warkentien stated, "Bloomington is anxious to maintain their facilities out there (several million dollars worth) that they are willing to give up three per cent admissions tax to build new facilities. Representative Walter Hansen contacted Senator Hubert Humphreys office, who. did say that he would use his inf~ilance to get AGROmart to develop foreign countries to exhibit. He also contacted John Boland of the Metro Council and he said that they would have final say on the project." The Mayor then asked if there were arty questions from the Council. Councilman Steele stated, "I hav+~t really to many questions, but it is very visionary in appearance as I would see it.+' (He does not disagree k~tii all their concepts, but wished that they would practice their visions further South) "If you speak of tax income, there will be no Village to tax if that center is put there." (He disagreed with the point of locating the complex between the two cities, by stating to the effect that there is no way that people from out-oi-state are going to be caught going through two ma3or downtown business districts to get to AGROmart.') He also stated that he thought "the plan would be good for an architectural student, but wished that it would be planned for Lakeville for same other area." Councilman Labalestra stated, ''I concur with Councilman Stsele's feelings, but in talking with members of the connnunity, there seems to be an under- lying concern that has not been brought to the surface. This would be a statement made earlier this evening that 'three very poor' firms are in- volved and that there are no financial backers as yet." He then asked Mr. Hanley, "How much money is that?" Mr. Hanley stated, "Other than time, $2,200.00' Councilman Ecklund mentioned "that he had heard a statement by a person not connected with the City that, "if the Vikings would sign a contract, that construction of the stadium could start in two years."' He also noted that an emrironmenta3 impact si~udy would have to be made. Councilman Bla+ak stated, ''I appreciate the fine manner in which these gentlemen have come out to address us, and that they know we are in- terested, and they know of our opposition and the citizen's opposition. Obviously all the people on the Council, speaking for.~yse]f, can hardly represent the people of Falcon Heights, and yet be in favor of the project in any way. I feel that there are matXy problems as to financing, envi- ronmental impact studies, tra~sporation, and how to acquire property. There is no way that a private individual can go out and btu it. They can not condemn property." -5- lac Engineer Lemberg: "No comment." Attorney Kenefick: "No comment." Representative Dieterich stated, "Yes, I do have one or two comments. One, I'm sitting up here and can't see at~}r expressions and I hope that the people aren't worried about running out and selling their homes and that sort of thing. But I think these people have a long, long way to go. For any private land they have to go through the Faleon Heights City Council; for any development of this size they would have to go through the Metropolitan Council, which would consider the questions that have dust been raised on roads, sewer, and transit. The impact statement would require information on air pollution, congestion, the surrounding zoning changes, and this type of thing, and hopefully they would have to convince the Governor that this is something he should get away from his busy schedule to go and .build the domed stadium on the Fair Grounds. I think they realize that I'm opposed to this as Representative of the western half of Falcon Heights, and have been for a long time." Mr. Nemeth then stated, "In response to the comments of Mr. Black, we certainly did have some reservations toward this project you under- stand, and we want to appear honest and forthright with you, and you certainly know what our intentions are that we are exploring the project in one variation or another, and we realize you have a long road to travel. So, we very much appreciate the attitude to the questions and interests expressed here tonight." Representative Walter Hansen commented, "I am sure Neil Dieterich ex- pressed quite adequately the steps that are going to have to be taken." He then mentioned that he had spoken with John Boland of the Metropolit Council, and mentioned to the effect that even changing the traffic pat would imrolve the Metropolitan Council. He then stated, "Representativ Dieterich and I will do all we can on the State level to make sure that the people of Falcon Heights have the final voice in what happens here, after a11; it is the people that will be affected." George Plant, Chairman of the Planning Commission: "No comment." an tern e Mayor Wiesen of Lauderdale: "No comment." Mr. Brinkerhoff, Vice President of the University of Minnesota, "The gentlemen have properly reported the conversation they had with the University about six months ago, and they are primarily noncommittal. We are against the concept of any development on University property." Dr. Hueg had left earlier, stating "that he had heard it three times, and is now all the more against it." Mr. Mike Heffron, Assistant G'sneral Manager of the .State Fair Grounds, stated, "I would like to reiterate what Vice President Brinkerhoff said, fh at the Fair Board is likewise opposed to the utilization of Fair Ground property. The Fair Board is neither a proponent or an opponent of AGRO- mart. We have been on record since June 1, 1971 with a resolution in respect to this proposal as follows ." "A delegation representing several Minneapolis architectural, engineering, and construction interests, identifying themselves as World AGROmart Associates, appeared before the Board to pre- sent site and general concept plans for conversion of the Fair Grounds to an International Agricultural Trade 8enter. This -b- ~~/ hearing follows a presentation made to the Society's Executive Committe last winter (see minutes, November 10, 1973.) After a lengthy discussion, the Board declined to take any action which would inrrolve the Society in such a plan, and instead, instructed the Secretary to advise World AGROmart Associates that the plan did not seem appropriate to the purview and authority of: he Society nor possible of accomodation on the present land holdings of the Fair without causing severe in3ury to those use(s) to which said property is dedicated by statute." Mayor Warkentien stated,"fhat this was so premature that these men were counseled not to come here to make this presentation, as it was not in final form, or have arty decision powers have been asked for, and there- fore, I would like to thank Mr. Hanley and Mr. Nemseth for coming this evening to present their proposal on their own time." 1 Mayor Warleentien reopened the public hearing on Planned District Development. Councilman Black read the proposed amendment to Zoning Ordinance No. 61~ to provide for Planned District Development, and the proposed changes in the draft were read and discussed. Councilman Black moved, seconded by Councilman Steele, to advise the City Attorney, John Renefick, to draft the proposed amendment for Ordinance No. 64. Motion carried. Councilman Ecklund moved, seconded by Councilman Labalestra, to approve the minutes of the regular Council meeting of November 1l~, 1971 as corrected. Motion carried. Councilman Steele moved, seconded by Councilman Labalestra, to approve the minutes of the special Council meeting of November 23, 19711 as corrected. Motion carried. The conditional use request of Gary Grandprey to operate an amusement center with six amusement devices at 1662 North Snelling for public use was discussed by the Council. Th~~general feeling of the Council was that enough information was not available at the present time, and that the Ordinance wasntt specifically clear as to whether or not to permit this or not. Councilman Labalestra moved, seconded by Councilman Black, to table the matter until a later date. Motion carried. The SRA Report was read by Clerk-Administrator Barnes, and it was de- cided that for the population of Falcon Heights, the cost of one vote would be too expensive in litigation proceedings. Councilman Steele moved, seconded by Councilman Labalestra, to vote no action. Councilman Ecklund abstained. Motion carried. The discussion on the proposed widening of Larpenteur Avenue was deferred until the next meeting. The survey report made of Mrs. Northrup and Mrs. Rosendahl was read by Clerk-Administrator Barnes in regard to the vacant lot on Summer Street. The Council decided to leave the matter until next summer when the Falcon Woods Playground would be complete, and then study the situation at that time. Clerk-Administrator Barnes was directed to inform the Revieres' of the Council's action.

ROSEYILLE Demos, Roseville Council; Dr. M. Nicholson, District b23 School BASKETBALL Board, and Mr. J. Klassen, District 623 Administrator, regarding REPORT the Roseville District basketball program. The City of Roseville has been asked by the school board to administer the program fcr the year of 1975. In setting up the fee for part;. Mr. F. Rogg, Roseville Recreation Department Director, set a fee of $11.00 for residents of Roseville and $22.00 for nonresidents. Several citizens of Falcon Heights called Mr. Steelle, complaining that the school facilities being used by Roseville were a part of the school district and that all residents of the school district should be allowed to participate for the same fee. 71~e results of Councilman Steele~s negotiations were that the fee would be the same for all residents, of all communities, partly or wholly within District 623. The school district cancelled all charges for all facilities used in the 1975 basketball program. The school board and the mayors from all communities imrolved are to meet and attempt to develop along-term program of recreation activities for the citizens of School District 623.
