GERVAIS CREEK Tom Krejci (owner of the building,Old Little Canada School PROFESSION BLDG. appeared. He has developed a plan to "clean -up the exterior, & renovate the interior. The plans include adding a 2nd story to the newer part of the building. The cost of rehabilitation, etc., necessitated bringing in a partner, hence the need to request a PUD for the property. The new partner will own the front part (newer)of the building. He is therefore requesting PUD subdivision. Joe Brinkman is the interested possible partner. He would develope the building into professional office space. Brad Nielsen discussed the fact that granting a PUD and the possibility of allowing a rental hall are 2 separate issues. Tom Krejci stated that he is interested in pursuing the PUD regardless of the feasibility of a rental hall. The park dedication issue should be referred to the Park Commission for their recommendation to the City Council. Tom Krejci stated that, if the land were appraised, in regard to the amount of the park dedication fee he might be interested in use of the tennis courts by the City. The arrangement last year was that the city is maintaining the tennis court area and Jim Morelan has indicated to Tom Krejci that the same arrangement will take place this year. Ray Hanson appeared and pointed out that the issue on the tennis court was discussed at the Council meeting and he personally felt that the City is now getting a tax base off a property that was formally tax exempt as a school. He further stated that the Park Commission will be making a recommendation to the council. Gene DeLonais stated he appreciated Mr. Hanson appearing before the Commission and appreciated that the Council appeared to be more willing to work with the local business.
