REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF. 6 A. Planning,Commission Reporting on October 17, 2000 Meeting. 7 Planning Commissioner Dr. Todd Hanson approached the Council and provided a report. 8 He reported that a concept review was held at the last Planning Commission meeting re- g garding Accurate Wire Solutions. Accurate Wire Solutions had the understanding that 10 the land adjacent to their building (which_is at 2917 Anthony) is a piece of property 11 owned by St. Anthony and was originally designed to be a road connecting Anthony Lane 12 North to Ramsey County. However,,tlieproperty where the proposed road would connect 13 to is now developed, and it was the understanding of Accurate Wire Solutions that the 14 road would not be built. 15 Furthermore, Accurate Wire Solutions was interested in purchasing the property from the City and also to construct an addition to the building equivalent to the size of the property that would be acquired from the City. In essence,the company wanted to build a wing 18 onto the building which would be approximately 160 feet long by 40-50 feet wide. 19 Dr. Hanson noted that the Planning Commission overall was in favor of any business ex- 20 panding in the City, particularly in the industrial park. It was not determined if any vari- 21 ance would be required due to some"unusual circumstances. This is an issue that simply 22 warrants discussion and informational input at this time. 23 On another subject, Dr. Hanson noted that the Commission appreciated Mayor 24 Cavanaugh's comments at the Planning Commission meeting and his explanation 25 regarding the Council's ultimate decision towards the Hillcrest Property. He noted that 26 the Commission had supported the approval of the Hillcrest property, but were interested .27 and appreciative to hear Mayor Cavanaugh's discussion. 28 Lastly, Dr. Hanson reported that each member of the Planning Commission would like to 29 be involved in the task force regarding the northwest quadrant project. 30 Cavanaugh noted his support of the Planning Commission's meetings being televised on 31 cable television. -� 46 2 B.
