STAFF REPORT <br /> DATE: March 19, 1997 <br /> TO: Michael J. Morrison, City Manager <br /> FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant <br /> ITEM: 3/18/97 Commission Meeting Summary <br /> 1. No Public Hearine. <br /> 2. Wirth Companies. Jeff Wirth came before the Planning Commission to discuss the <br /> possibility of expanding the permitted uses allowed by the Ordinance to <br /> accommodate medical research tenants. The Planning Commission was concerned <br /> with the potential public health hazard that some of these uses might expose the <br /> residents to. Mr. Wirth indicated that the building was originally built as a medical <br /> building to complement a hospital that had been planned adjacent to the medical <br /> building. So the plumbing and drains are appropriate for the use. <br /> • He also said that there have always been doctors in the building who do minor and <br /> outpatient operations whereby they have to dispose of body fluids and tissue. They <br /> are used to dealing with bio-hazard materials. They contract with a company to <br /> dispose of this type of waste. Their staff also is trained in how to dispose or leave <br /> alone any waste they come into contact with. <br /> Mr. Wirth agreed to put together a list of tenants he is anticipating to attract to the <br /> Medical Building and work with Staff to put something together for presentation at <br /> the April Planning Commission meeting. <br /> 3. Comprehensive Plan Task Force Update. Chair Bergstrom reported on the <br /> meeting he attended with Staff and BRW on Tuesday morning. He indicated that <br /> BRW is moving along in developing the update. He was impressed with their <br /> comments and ideas. Chair Bergstrom said they are working on ideas that are not <br /> radical but enhance what already exists in St. Anthony. <br /> 4. Adjournment. Meeting adjourned at 8:30P.M. <br />
