Item No: EDA 8A <br />Meeting Date: Sept 24, 2001 <br />Type of Business: PH & EDAB <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Economic Development Authority <br />From: James Ericson, Community Development Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Discussion Regarding Proposed <br />Sale of 2625 County Highway 10 to the Mounds View <br />Animal Hospital <br />Date of Report: September 20, 2001 <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On May 7, 2001, the City Council provided staff with direction to accept a purchase offer <br />for the property located at 2625 County Highway 10. The offer was submitted by the <br />Mounds View Animal Hospital, who intends to construct a new freestanding facility on the <br />site. They have received City approvals for the development; the last step is the public <br />hearing for the sale of land which is required by Minnesota Statutes. The accepted offer <br />for the property was $50,000. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />On September 10, 2001, the Economic Development Authority (EDA) set a public <br />hearing for the proposed sale on September 24, 2001. A public hearing notice was then <br />sent to the Focus News to be published in their Sept. 13th edition. On Friday, September <br />14th, I received an apologetic voice-mail message from the Focus staff indicating that the <br />page with the legal notices was for whatever reason omitted from the printing. Thus, we <br />are not able to hold a public hearing on September 24 due to an insufficient notice. <br /> <br />The Focus has republished the notice originally intended for the Sept. 13th edition in its <br />September 20th edition. (Staff verified its inclusion.) To satisfy the public hearing <br />notification requirements in Minnesota Statutes, the public hearing will need to be <br />continued to October 1, 2001, at which time the EDA will call to order for a special <br />meeting. The applicants are aware of this change in schedule. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Open the public hearing originally set for 7:05, Monday, September 24, 2001, and <br />immediately continue the hearing to 6:00 pm, Monday, October 1, 2001. <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Community Development Director <br />763-717-4021 <br /> <br />C:\WINNT\Profiles\Jime\Favorites\City Council Stuff\Land Sale Report - Sept 24, 2001.doc
