Mr. Stigney noted the City was spending $5,000 for carpet. Was the Council Chambers carpet being replaced also? Mayor Linke told Mr. Stigney that the Council carpeting was not being replaced and that the Council carpet was only about four or five years old. Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated that the City is spending $5,000 for a survey but at the budget hearing he listened to each and every Councilmember state that they had no place to turn to and that the budget would have to be how it was at this time. Mr. Frits wondered how the Council became so educated since December. Mayor Linke stated the 1992 budget was under a time constraint. This survey has to do with the 1993 budget and the residents wanted this survey. Bill Frits stated the Council could have delayed the budget for two or three weeks . There were volunteers who would have sat down and helped the Council instead of having to spend the $5,000. 411JBLIC HEARINGS: Saturn Request for Conditional Use Permit, 8:05 p.m. Mayor Linke opened the public hearing and read Resolution No. 4195 to consider the Request for Conditional Use Permit of Saturn of St. Paul.

This was the first time the Planning Commission resolution was seen.. Harrington explained that this item was up for consideration by the Council at this time and that the Council could take desired action. Cliff Bratz, 5287 Jackson Drive, stated that according to the plan the landscaping is to be dense and going to be high. Mr. Bratz is opposed to the dense trees because it will cut him off and it would be easy for people to get in and around the area. If the trees weren't so high one could see Spat was going on and it would keep vandalism down.
