CITY OF ST. ANTHONY • COUNCIL MINUTES December 3, 1985 The meeting was opened at 7:30 P.M. with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Mayor Sundland. Present for roll call : Sundland, Marks, Ranallo, Enrooth, and Makowske. Also present: David Childs, City Manager. The November 26th Council minutes were deferred to their next meeting, December 17th, to give the Council members more time to read them. Motion by Councilmember Marks and seconded by Council member Enrooth to approve payment of the billing for' $26,813.15 from the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission. Motion carried unanimously. The Planning Commission' s regularly scheduled meeting on the 17th had been rescheduled to the previous evening in order that the Commissioners could act on the Arkell Development request for an amendment to the Development Concept Plan for the Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Project under the P.U.D.

Steve Yurick and Gary Tushie of Arkell Development were present to discuss their request and Mr. Yurick indicated he agreed with Commissioner Bowerman 's suggestion the previous evening that the commercial , for which the developers only had tentative plans at this point, not become focal point of the project considerations because those amenities had been included in the project in response to suggestions from
