Council Meeting May 22 , 1990 page 7 • 1 The City Manager met with Paul Brewer and Frank Lang of LaNel Deve- 2 lopers, regarding several items regarding their development. They 3 stated their intention to do the median cut themselves. Taxes and some 4 ''housekeeping" items were also discussed. 5 6 They requested that the signage at their project be allowed back up 7 at Rosie's Restaurant. Their intent is to leave it up until the deve- 8 lopment is 95% leased. 9 10 It was Councilmember Makowske' s observation that to reach 95% could 11 mean the sign would remain up perpetually. Councilmember Marks inquired 12 what the present percentage of occupancy is. The City Manager responded 13 that the third building , of seventy-five units , just opened and the 14 total occupancy is sixty percent for all three buildings. 15 16 The City Manager recommended that this signage request be presented to 17 the Planning Commission. Mayor Ranallo concurred. 18 19 Tom Burt received a letter from the Columbia Heights City Manager re- 20 garding stop signs on Stinson Boulevard . The letter stated that Columbia 21 Heights has received requests for stop signs at 37th and at 39th on Stinson 22 Boulevard. The purpose of the letter was to seek concurrence in granting 1023 these requests from the City of St. Anthony. 24 25 The City Manager noted that this request has never been formally brought 26 to the St. Anthony Council and suggested a joint meeting with the two 27 councils to discuss the matter. He felt the joint meeting would serve 28 to define the policy decisions Columbia Heights is considering and for 29 Columbia Heights to be apprised of St. Anthony' s position on the requests. 30 31 Mayor Ranallo thought there was already an agreement and an analysis com- 32 pleted on a sign for the intersection of 37th Avenue and Stinson Boulevard . 33 The City Manager stated that Columbia Heights has done all of the engirreering 34 studies but had been receiving requests for a sign to be located at 39th 35 Avenue from the residents of the senior citizen facility on 39th and 36 Stinson Boulevard. 37 38 Councilmember Makowske recalled that no agreement was made pending the 39 results of the engineering studies and a formal presentation of the facts 40 was made to the St. Anthony City Council . 41 42 Councilmember Makowske felt the Columbia Heights ' City Manager' s letter 43 reflected a shortsighted view of the situation and that it needs to be 44 considered more carefully. She felt the letter should not preclude the 45 two Councils meeting to discuss this. 46 47 Mayor Ranallo stated he had received a call from a Columbia Heights Council - 48 member who advised him that his City would not do only one sign. 49 50 Discussion continued regarding possible problems such as stacking of
