Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes November 15, 1994 Page 12 1 Mr. Lundeen asked if Apache Plaza was still in bankruptcy and how the size of this CUB Foods 2 will compare to the store located at Northtown or in Little Canada. 3 Dennis Cavanaugh responded that Apache Plaza is not in bankruptcy but that it was in 4 receivership. He stated that this will not affect the project at all. 5 Narlock informed the audience that CUB Foods at Apache would be 75,000 square feet and 6 compared it to the Maple Grove store which is 88,000 square feet. 7 Chair Gondorchin added that there has been an allotment to the south made for expansion of the 8 CUB store at a later date'to the 88,000 square foot size. 9 Mr. Lundeen expressed concern as to the people living on Silver Lake and inquired as to the size 10 of the ponds that were being installed. 11 Chair Gondorchin explained that the ponds would be addressed later in the meeting. He stated 12 that the ponds meet the Rice Creek Watershed District recommendations at the time the plans 13 were completed and submitted. 14 Wayne Mikkola, 3518 Skycroft Drive, expressed his full support for the project. 15 Jim McNulty, 2921 33rd Avenue N.E., stated he was on the Council at the time Apache was 16 built. At that time it instilled a vitality in the community. This is what he thinks this project will 17 do now. He doesn't want to see a wall built up between the people on Silver Lake and the other 18 residents in the community. He feels that these ponds are taking care of a good percentage of the 19 drainage. He hopes that the people of Columbia Heights, Wexford Heights and the people 20 around Silver Lake are taking care of their fertilizers and nutrients that may be going into the 21 lake. 22 Commissioner Faust stated that he lives on Silver Lake and there is not a wall being created 23 between the residents on Silver Lake and the rest of the community. Silver Lake is considered a 24 St. Anthony "treasure". He has worked very hard on the preservation of the lake, along with Dr. 25 Can:, Wexford Heights, Columbia Heights,New Brighton, and Ramsey County. The Silver Lake 26 Homeowners Association does a lot to reduce pollution in the lake. However, there still are a lot 27 of people who put the phosphorus into the lake. 28 29 Mary Bauer,4000 Foss Road#103, said that she was there to see the first shovel of dirt turned 30 over for Apache Plaza. She is glad to see this project and wants it to go ahead. 31 Dana Erickson, 3320 Croft Drive N.E., voiced his support for the project. He moved to St. 32 Anthony 3 years ago and couldn't believe how much Apache had changed since he was a child. 33 He is glad the project is going forward and hopes that everyone feels the same as he does.
