IV. OPEN MIKE
Chair Tralle declared Open Mike at 6:32 P.M.
Cindy and Shawn Goldade, 6824 145th Ave NE, Columbus MN, looking to purchase 502
and 510 Lilac Street, previously Lino Lakes Blacktop. Mr. and Mrs. Goldade are in
conversation with city staff and are waning to use the properties in a similar or less
intense purpose than previously. Applicant is inquiring if they are on the right track. The
original project narrative included razing the house. The applicant is looking to amend
the project narrative and is proposing to connect the house to water and sewer and install
a fence to secure an outdoor storage area.
Chair Tralle asked staff why the house has to come down. Staff stated that it was a
suggestion as it is a residential home in an industrial zoned property. There was a
comprehensive letter prepared and are trying to move the parcel in the direction of
compliance for industrial zoning. Chair Tralle expressed his concern and stated, if a
motion was made tonight, his motion would be to install a fence and not require
additional paving.
