She added the developer, potential owner and consultant were in attendance to make a presen- tation tonight. Philip Seipp, President of Sysco /Continental Minne- sota, explained their company is in the business of food service distribution, and he reviewed their operation. Products are received in during the day, loaded onto the docks at night and shipped out the next day. They have outgrown their present facility and anticipate the proposal of 240,000 s.f. would handle their needs for the next five years. The plan will be designed for expansion for future needs. Mr. Seipp stated it is very important to them that VFW the residents see this as a desirable and appropriate use of land, and it be a harmonious relationship. They expect to employ 300 people by the time they move into the new facility, with eventual growth to 500. Mr. Seipp stated they would be very willing to have a public informational meeting before the public hearing, to meet with the public and hear and address their questions and concerns. Scott Kinkade, of Ryan Construction Company, gave a brief overview of the design. 209,000 s.f. would be warehouse space, with 35,000 s.f. of office space. The layout on the property has been planned to minimize the impact on the wetland and be appealing in appearance. Mr. Kinkade reviewed the lighting, signage, driveway layout and material plans. He stated their goal for occupancy is November 1989, which is driven by a number of concerns, with one of those being the need to begin grading before a hard freeze. Dick Koppy, of Westwood Professional Services, Inc., reviewed the storm drainage plans and preliminary landscaping plans. He explained 90 percent of all the water from the site will drain directly into the pond they are proposing in the upland area, not the existing wetland area. Mr. Koppy reviewed the alternatives for providing water services to the site, as well as the plans for sanitary sewer and site lighting. Page Six Motion Carried 11.
