Councilman Shelquist preferred not to create a substandard
lot, simply because in the future someone may put a house on
it and the City will not be able to stop it; it's the type of
thing enforced in court as a variance. However, the people
do have a problem and Councilman Shelquist favored working
out an agreement stipulating the number of years, deferment
of assessment and forgiving the interest.
Councilman Baumgartner and Hodges agreed.
Atty. Meyers suggested approving preliminary plat and working
out agreement that: no building permits be issued on Outlot B
and defer the assessments for whatever number of years -- 6
years before it goes back to taxes.
Mr. Sjodin thought Rosenquists would agree because there's no
other solution, as long as there is no personal obligation.
Admin. Achen indicated something could be prepared within 3
weeks and Mr. Sjodin could plan on presenting the hardshell
for the last meeting in August.
MSP ( Shelquist- Pickar) to approve preliminary plat for the
Rosenquist Addition dated June, 1976, as received by City of
Mounds View on July 20, 1976, final approval being subject
to a satisfactory agreement being drawn up relative to the
deferment of the assessment on Outlot B and further that the
administrator and attorney be instructed to draw up such agree-
ment and negotiate its signing. 4 ayes
Acting Mayor Hodges then asked for staff recommendations on
the Compassion Christian Center, Inc. special use agreement.
Admin. Achen stated staff had met with representatives of the
Center and reviewed the problems enumerated at the public
hearing. The Center had discussed among its own members future
use of that site, whether it might alter its activities and
change the use of the building. From these discussions, the
Center requests and staff recommends that Article IV of the
Special Use Agreement be amended to limit use to not more than
150 elementary /secondary students at any one time; at the time
the enrollment exceeds 100, applicant shall discontinue use
for its bible school. The reasoning being that a lot of problems
enumerated at the public hearing were not so much from elementary/
secondary school but from the bible school which involves more
traffic.
To solve the problems of noise, participants of the school /church
physically going on adjacent properties, and dust, staff recommends
erection of a six foot high redwood screening fence along the
east property line; this fence would be so constructed to
completely screen the view from one side of the fence to the
other side. Agreement with the Center was for completion of
the fence by September 13, 1976.
Because the Center is uncertain as to future use of school,
they question best use of parking lot. If bible school is to
be removed, might be better to make the parking lot into
recreational facility. Admin. Achen indicated the Center
agreed to pave the existing lot with bituminous surface no
later than September 1, 1977.
