Staff Reports <br /> <br /> a. Previous Council Action <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson reported Council had heard the first reading of the <br />Sign Code Ordinance. He further indicated that the final reading would be May 29, 2001. <br /> <br />Director Ericson reported that Council approved the Redfield minor subdivision and approved <br />the vacation ordinance. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated the EDA had approved the purchase of a home located at 3016 <br />County Road H2. He indicated that the property is located in an area of very large lots and the <br />property is one and a half (1 ½) acres. He further indicated the City owns two adjacent lots and <br />the long-term plan has always been to redevelop the area into a new subdivision. <br /> <br />Director Ericson updated the Planning Commission on the Pinewood Elementary School <br />expansion and stated that there was a safety meeting to discuss the issues residents have with the <br />school. He indicated that there was a lot of discussion concerning the loss of trees. He then <br />explained that those trees were proposed to be taken out but the representative from Perkins & <br />Will misspoke and indicated the reconfiguration of the parking lot would mean that only one tree <br />would be lost. He also noted that Council had requested a representative from Perkins & Will <br />attend the next Council meeting to explain the error and a representative from Perkins & Will has <br />agreed to attend the next Council meeting. <br /> <br /> b. Upcoming Planning Cases <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the Planning Commission will be <br />reviewing a rezoning request for 2625 Highway 10 as the Mounds View Animal Hospital has <br />purchased the property to build a freestanding animal hospital. He then indicated it was always <br />the intention of the City to rezone the property to commercial but it has not been done. He also <br />indicated that a conditional use permit will be needed. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated the Planning Commission will be reviewing an application for a major <br />subdivision called Longview Estates which is a piece of land owned by the Harstads. He noted <br />the developer is holding a meeting to discuss the development with area residents on May 22, <br />2001. He also stated he planned on attending the meeting and asked Commissioners to notify <br />him if they planned on attending, because if five or more Commissioners attended, there would <br />be a quorum and he would have to post a notice. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kaden indicated that on the plans it looked like there are some lots almost all the <br />way in the wetland.
