• • • Planning & Zoning Board Minutes August 10, 1994 Garbage in, garbage out. One needs good information to make good decisions. April 94 minutes did show improvement but errors and omissions still exist. I was told by a member of the staff that we are asking for too many things, taking up too much staff time and that it must end. This is an example of the City expanding - you should be expanding your staff by getting a secretarial service to take notes at all the meetings to free your full time staff to complete their regular duties with efficiency and accuracy. We have tried to take up as little time as possible, done most of the work (copying materials we requested) so as not to disturb the staff. I would like to read one thing from Sue Walseth who could not be here tonight - Sue lives at 1101 Holly Drive. Al Brixius at the 1/12/94 meeting speaks of it not being the Cities intent to force the residents on Holly Drive off of their property with large sewer assessments. Chris Lyden asks if they can have that in writing and Mr. Brixius explains - you have it, it will be on record. However, not one word of this is mentioned in the minutes. We know this to be a fact because we have transcribed every single tape since this process began - we have done it word for word. Mr. Schaps commented to Ms. Dahl that regardless if the R -1X statement appeared in the minutes - the Board clearly got the message. Carolyn Dahl also requested that the minutes be so corrected. Open Mike was closed at 6:55 P.M. V. ACTION ITEMS A. PUBLIC HEARING - Apollo Business Park Replat Brian Wessel reviewed this item and explained that the City's Economic Development Plan for the Apollo Business Park has maintained the flexibility to create industrial parcels of size and configuration specifically geared to the needs of prospective companies building in the park. This replat reflects that flexibility. Three lots are being platted with outlots remaining. Mr. Wessel further explained that there will be a special meeting of the Council tomorrow evening to review this replat to facilitate the sale of a parcel to U -Dor USA. Staff would recommend approval of the replat. The Public Hearing was opened at 7:00 and closed at 7:02 with no comments from the audience. Al Robinson made a MOTION and was supported by Tom Mesich to approve the Apollo Business Park Replat as presented. All voted aye. Motion carried. B. PUBLIC HEARING - Right -of -Way Plat No. 2 - Apollo Drive John Powell, TKDA, explained that the method used to describe the property to be known as Apollo Drive was to prepare a Right -of -Way Plat for the proposed roadway and easements 3
