515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: August 20, 1999 <br />RE: Precision Tree Property Acquisition Update <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaVaile <br />Steve Moreton <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />I have continued my meetings with the owners of Precision Tree regarding the voluntary <br />sale of their property associated with the Country Drive redevelopment project. The key <br />issue we have been dealing with is their ability to relocate to another site within the City. <br />I am exploring the possibility of acquisition of two sites that they have expressed interest <br />in that are owned by Richard Schrier (see map attached). I would like the Council's input <br />on these sites given Precision Tree's need for outdoor storage and in conjunction with the <br />I -P Zoning District. <br />I have informed Mack and Chris Groholski that to meet the requirements of our <br />Development Agreement with Mr. Biagini, we will need to determine by August 25th <br />whether a voluntary sale of this property is possible. If not, we would have to authorize <br />the commencement of eminent domain proceedings in order to meet the timeline for <br />property transfer spelled out in the development agreement. I am attempting to have this <br />matter resolved by Wednesday's meeting. <br />cc: Mac and Chris Groholski <br />Page 166 <br />
