Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes • June 16, 1998 Page 5 1 Mr. Alvit6 noted that a significant infusion of cash will be necessary to make the building better 2 suited to fit his needs. He questioned the benefit to the developer if the building was purchased 3 from him or from Krause/Anderson. 4 Commissioner Gondorchin explained that if the conditional use permit expired in five years, Mr. 5 Alvit6 would no longer be able to operate his business. This use would not be allowed in that 6 location. 7 Chair Bergstrom stated this does not preclude the possibility that Mr. Alvit6 would be able to 8 operate. The City does not know what the redevelopment plan will include. He stated that the 9 City does genuinely want to keep Robodyne in the City of St. Anthony, they just do not know if 10 this use of the Town& Country site will be compatible with the redevelopment plans. 11 Motion by Chair Bergstrom, seconded by Commissioner Thompson to recommend approval of a 12 Conditional Use Permit to locate Robodyne Corp. in the building at 2550 Highway 88 for the use 13 Krause/Anderson has proposed as presented in the Commission's packet based on the following: 14 1. The proposed conditional use is a conditional use specifically allowed for this zoning 15 district. 2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or general welfare of 10 persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property values or 18 improvements to the vicinity. 19 3. The proposed use is necessary or desirable at the above location to provide a service or a 20 facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute to the general 21 welfare of the neighborhood or community. 22 4. The Conditional Use Permit will expire five years from the date that it becomes valid. 23 Commissioner Gondorchin questioned the enforcement of the expiration of the Conditional Use 24 Permit and asked when Staff expected the redevelopment of the south end of the City to take 25 place. 26 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated she would check with the City Attorney prior to the Council meeting in 27 regard to the legality of the expiration of the Conditional Use Permit. She was not certain of the 28 timing of the redevelopment but noted that redevelopment will occur via voluntary sales and 29 possibly occur in five to ten years. She noted that one suggestion had been that the shopping 30 center be converted to office use. She indicated that she did not know if the City will exercise 31 eminent domain rights to take property. 32 Commissioner Makowske asked if a condition should be included in regard to hazardous waste. Chair Bergstrom stated there are State and Federal agencies who monitor this issue.
