Only a few employees that live significant distances <br /> from work do not. Haugdahl also noted that the easement pavement is in <br /> very poor condition, and they would improve those access points. <br /> McGraw asked if this location was large enough for the company. <br /> Haugdahl replied that it was. He also indicated that if there was a <br /> problem, the company can change its operation to a shift schedule to <br /> stagger numbers of employees coming to the site at any given time. <br /> Haugdahl reported that they looked at over 60 buildings, and this property <br /> works for them. He indicated that the company currently operates from a <br /> 9,000 square foot building, and this one is 12,000 square feet. Haugdahl <br /> reported that the company is as big as it is going to get because they do an <br /> excellent job at the size they are. Iaugdahl indicated that PreWire was <br /> not interested in getting larger at the expense of the quality of work that <br /> they do. Haugdahl reported that he is from a small community, and <br /> PreWire wants to be a part of Little Canada and contribute to the <br /> community. <br /> McGraw felt that PreWire would be a great company to have in Little <br /> Canada, and commended them for their presentation. McGraw noted that <br /> the City Engineer will need additional information to complete his review <br /> of the proposal. He also asked about the cold storage building that is <br /> being proposed. <br /> Haugdahl reported that the cold storage building is a concept at this point. <br /> If the City is opposed to that building, Haugdahl indicated that they could <br /> operate without it. He also indicated that they did consider storm water <br /> management in the drawings submitted. The City Administrator reported <br /> that the City Engineer needs drainage calculations to complete his review. <br /> Joe Raddick, engineer for PreWire, indicated that the amount of <br /> disturbance will be .95 acres, therefore, a Watershed permit is not <br /> required. The City Administrator noted that while an acre of disturbance <br /> (riggers a Watershed permit, 20,000 square feet of disturbance triggers <br /> compliance with City standards. Dibb reported that they will work with <br /> the City Engineer and comply with his recommendations. <br /> Blesener noted that the issue of redevelopment must be addressed. Keis <br /> agreed, but questioned how the City can stop development proposals in <br /> this area when it is not ready to move on redevelopment. Keis noted that <br /> <br /> ' redevelopment may not occur for the next 15 years. <br /> 14 <br /> <br />
