Mounds View Planning Commission November 6, 1996 <br /> • <br /> Regular Meeting Page 23 <br /> Chair Peterson informed the applicant that this <br /> item will be heard by the City Council on <br /> November 25. <br /> Planning Associate Ericson provided an update 7. Staff Reports/ <br /> on Planning Case No. 460-96: Auto Central Information Items <br /> which was heard at the October 7, 1996 <br /> meeting. He explained that he contacted the <br /> applicants to inform them of the Commission's <br /> concerns with the site and Staff's <br /> recommendations, and the applicants indicated <br /> that there were problems with the lease and, <br /> therefore, they asked for the case to be put on <br /> hold and so it was removed from the November <br /> 6 agenda. Mr. Ericson added that this week <br /> the applicants indicated that there is a <br /> possibility that it may now go through and so <br /> requested a meeting with Staff to go over the <br /> • Planning Commission's requirements. <br /> Coincidently, he had a meeting with Norwest <br /> Bank, which owns the site, and possible buyers <br /> that had a very similar proposal for the same <br /> location. He also noted that the bank offered <br /> the property to the City, but after seeing that <br /> the property had a lot more interest, they <br /> pulled back their offer. He indicated that Cathy <br /> Bennett, our Economic Development <br /> Coordinator, was preparing a resolution for the <br /> City Council to authorize Staff to negotiate <br /> purchase of the property if the bank changes its <br /> mind and, once again, offers it to the City. <br /> Community Development Director Sheldon <br /> informed the Planning Commission of items <br /> that are scheduled to be heard at their next <br /> meeting; the variances on the signs for Paster <br /> Enterprises and for Saturn Development, a lot <br /> split request from Larry Beach, and a draft <br /> ordinance regarding the telecommunications <br /> issue. <br /> a <br />
