Bert Bauman of Compassion Inc. appeared to answer questions from the Council on
the proposed use of a house purchased by Compassion Inc. at 8045 Fairchild Avenue.
Attorney Meyers ascertained that the house was purchased as a residence for
hardship situations and for Christian workers, that it was non - profit, that there
would be a permanent resident as yet undetermined there, that persons there could
have emotional problems or be seeking drug release but that there would be no
agencies or trained personnel involved.
Mr. Bauman, a lay minister, explained that Compassion Inc. was three years old
and that there was a church in New Brighton at 620 5th Avenue N.W.
Attorney Meyers stated that he felt there may be a zoning ordinance problem and
that he would recommend that Compassion Inc. request a rezoning hearing to R -3
with a special use permit for a rest home or sanitorium. The decision was made
because the house was not to be used exclusively for residence purposes and more
than four persons not related by blood could be living thereat any one time.
Mr. Bauman felt with the Council that he did not want to create problems but
rather solve them.
A request for a trial period was denied.
Russell Pahl requested the use of the hall for the Minnesota Taxpayers Party.
Donald Kelley, 8101 Long Lake Road, wanted to know what he could do with a blown
tree. He stated he can't burn it and his hauler wouldn't take it. Discussion
followed on recreational fires.
