Comstock, City Engineer During the discussion of the April 13th minutes, Councilman Haik requested that the funds to award the winners of the Bicentennial speech contest held in the St. Anthony High School be transferred to the high school teacher, Mrs. Westrum, as soon as possible. Motion by Councilman Sundland, seconded by Councilman Stauffer to approve the minutes for the April 13th meeting. Motion carried unanimously. Ms. Joan Campbell, Metropolitan Council representative for the district which includes St. Anthony, explained what her duties entail and encouraged the City officials to contact her with any problem they might have regarding transport- ation, social services and land uses which might come under Metro Council juris- diction. George Marks then commented on action taken by the Planning Board as they were reflected in the minutes of their April 20th meeting. He first discussed the request from the Gay Realty Company to build a 33,000 sq. ft. warehouse -office building on Lots 1 and 2 of Block 3 in the St. Anthony Office Park for which the Board had given their preliminary approval with some reservations. One of these was the Board's concern that the 55 parking spaces provided in the site plans might not be enough if other than the prospective tenants around which the developers and the EDS Construction Company were plan- ning the building, should not become the occupants or might be replaced by tenants who might require more parking. Mr. Jeff Nielsen of the Gay Realty Company and Mr. Ed Sheehy of the EDS Company were present and Mr. Nielsen indicated the plans had been revised to provide 10 or 12 additional parking spaces if they were needed. He said the building was being undertaken on a speculative basis and was designed for a low -industrial type usage and he estimated a minimum number of trucks parked there for any period of time during any given week. The possiblity of an identical U-shaped building being placed face to face with the building was also considered. The Board's concern about the minimum of greeenery planned to the rear of the build- ing was also noted.
