COUNCIL MINUTES OCTOBER 14, 2002 • thick so generally, so they try not to attach too many things. But he stated they could certainly attach an excerpt or could refer more specifically to the area under discussion. • • Councilmember Carlson stated it was her preference to put this in the appendix. She stated that the document was single -sided, and compared the size of the Target document double -sided. Ms. Hopkins stated they can get voluminous. Councilmember Carlson stated it is a different project of course. Target was more intense. This was on the lake, so it is environmentally more intense. Councilmember Carlson referred to page 6, third paragraph from the top regarding the land to the immediate north. She stated the land to the immediate north is guided for rural land uses while the area immediately to the east is guided for medium density and industrial uses. The industrial uses are not immediately to the east. The east is medium density housing. The industrial uses are on the other side so she felt that sentence should end with medium density residential. Mayor Bergeson asked whether Councilmember O'Donnell had a question on points raised, and he responded he would comment when Councilmember Carlson was finished. Councilmember Carlson referenced page 7, bottom paragraph beginning "Furthermore, property currently owned by the St. Paul Regional water services separates'the project from Peltier Lake. This is under Fish, Wildlife and Ecological Sensitive Resources." She questioned whether this property was subject to lease because she was aware that a number oproperties around the lakes in the area with land owned by St. Paul Regional Water Services are leased properties with 100 -year leases, for instance, where homes are built. She also questioned ether or not it were possible that this property was being looked at by Anoka County to be added to the park region? City Planner Smyser stated the St. Paul Water Services property right next to the church is owned by them, and it is a very narrow strip and not. big ugh to build anything on, so there is really no potential for lease on that property beth+ r that is considered to be included into the park, there was an area in that general vicinity that was,onsidered for this, which the St. Paul Water Utility was going to make available. The prop was available has already been purchased by the County. So if it were going to be it would have been already. Councilmember Carlson stated along the lake shore, on Centerville Lake, there is a section that is available to lease she thought, as well as where they have a building. Mayor Bergeson stated it was his understanding that the property the water department potentially had available was north of the freeway. Councilmember Carlson stated this refers to property owned by St. Paul Regional Water Services that separates the property from Peltier Lake. City Planner Smyser stated there was also land available up there but that was a different site. There was property available north of the church site in this general vicinity, but not immediately between the lake and this property. It did not go that far south. 15
