THIS IS IT • . • . FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 1 - APRIL 5, 1996 ADMINISTRATION • I spoke with Terry Moses who is the Realtor representing the parcels south of the Bel- Rae. He is confident that closing in June on the property will be fine with the owner. Upon discussions regarding possible contingencies with the purchase agreement, I noted that the City would require current payment of all taxes and fees due. Currently the property owners has not paid for the street light utility fee which amounts to approximately $1,800. Mr. Moses suggested this be waived by the City. Consequently I disagreed and felt the amount should be deducted from the sales price. Mr. Moses will get back to me regarding the proposal and then we can have the purchase agreement drafted. In any case, a purchase agreement will not be ready for Council's approval by the 8th, therefore, this item will be deferred until the 22nd meeting. • Doug Watson, owner of parcels in the North Star Industrial Park located both in Mounds View and Blaine, called me regarding the request for a rezoning by Blaine Brothers Trucking. He is selling two lots to Blaine Brothers for their expansion and needs the property rezoned from light industrial to heavy industrial. Mr. Watson was requesting that the City not oppose the rezoning. I told him that at this point we are opposed to the rezoning due to the impact to the Bridges. This will increase truck parking along the border of the Bridges which is very unsightly. I informed Mr. Watson that we would not be testifying at the Planning Commission level and that the new Administrators will be discussing this matter further prior to the City Council vote in May. • I have arranged a meeting with Nick Temali, Chuck and I next week to discuss school district needs and possible joint ventures.
