MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 24, 2005 <br />Haggne again stated that the property is an important piece to the <br />McGough business and there are no good alternative locations. Haggne <br />suggested that perhaps there are some materials that should be removed <br />from the site, but stated that most of what is stored on the property is <br />importanC to the McGough business. <br />Blesener indicated that the Council must look at what is beneficial to the <br />City. The City was more than willing to try to relocate this use. He <br />indicated, however, that the City's next move would be to make an offer <br />of just compensation. <br />Mark Brill, McGough Construction, indicated that this property is very <br />valuable to their business. He pointed out that McGough tried to relocate <br />the use in the site, but Chat proved to be difficult. <br />Blesener pointed out that McGough initially indicated a willingness to <br />relocate the outdoor storage to the Orius site that was identified to them by <br />the City. However, when McGough brought their potential use of the <br />Orius property to the Planning Commission and the City Council, <br />McGough indicated that they would not be relocating the Woodlyn <br />Avenue outdoor storage to this site, but rather their two Roseville outdoor <br />storage sites. McGough was merely going to move more outdoor storage <br />into the City of Little Canada. <br />Brill indicated that they have tried to find other outdoor sites within Little <br />Canada, but there is nothing available. <br />Haggne indicated that McGough can clean up the Woodlyn Avenue site, <br />but pointed out that the site is noC for junk storage, but a part of their daily <br />operation where they store critical materials. <br />The City Administrator felt there was still the potential to relocate <br />McGough's Woodlyn Avenue site within the City. He suggested there <br />may be potential in Ryan Industrial Park, which is zoned I-1. The City <br />may be able to assist in the acquisition of an appropriate site within the <br />industrial park <br />Haggne stated that if McGough could have a site in Little Canada thaC iC <br />owns rather than leases, thaC would be an acceptable solution to them. <br />Blesener suggested that perhaps there is a site in Shoreview or Vadnais <br />Heights. Haggne indicated that they have checked and there are no <br />available sites in the immediate area that would accommodate their <br />outdoor storage needs. <br />15 <br />
