In 166 reviewing the progress of the project, staff has determined that an extension to November 1, 2008 167 should be sufficient for the completion. The terms of the conditional use permit require that 168 substantial construction be completed within 36 months of the approval. There have been 169 extensions to the project and that date of substantial completion was never clearly established. 170 Staff now recommends that the date be set for September 23, 2007. 171 172 Michael Kula, 6 Indian Hills Drive, Circle Pines, addressed the council. His property abuts the 173 church property and after five years of living with the project, he is frustrated. Neighbors 174 anticipated there would be a berm separating the properties but only see a few small bushes and 175 trees now on the plans. The church has never obtained a necessary MPCA permit so even though 176 a utility connection has been approved by the municipalities, it cannot go ahead. Working with 177 the church and city staff hasn't brought very many answers for the neighbors. This is the third 078 request for an extension to the development agreement but there is no assurance that this project 4 079 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 .00 01 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 023 224 COUNCIL MINUTES August 27, 2007 APPROVED will ever get done. He added that he did not receive any notice that the council would be discussing the project this evening. Community Development Director Grochala replied that city ordinance requires a "buffer" and that could be a berm or it could be a solid fence; he believes a fence is planned. When asked, he confirmed that a certificate of occupancy for the building would not be issued without code compliance. Administrator Heitke added that he has been in communication with the City of Circle Pines on the project. Engineer Studenski added that the church has hired a firm to work with the Rice Creek Watershed District on the necessary permits. Council Member Reinert moved that the item be tabled until appropriate information is available; the item could be discussed at the next work session but shouldn't be brought back to the council meeting without the additional information.
