Planning Commission.Regular Meeting Minutes August 18, 1998 • Page 7 1 Emerald Park. They felt that all the work being done was for the benefit of 2 houses at one end 2 of the park; in addition, they felt these issues should be addressed in New Brighton since some 3 flooding comes from that city. 4 5 Commissioner Thompson also attended a parade in LeSeuer while there for his wife's class 6 reunion, both of which they enjoyed immensely. 7 8 Commissioner Horst was surprised by the overwhelming support of residents in favor of liquor 9 and food operations revealed by the resident survey. Chair Bergstrom stated that the two were 10 not mutually exclusive. 11 12 Chair Bergstrom asked if the City had received a digital map from BRW. Ms. Moore-Sykes 13 stated that she spoke with Mr. Weber on July 31, 1998 and BRW uses Freehand, a Macintosh 14 program, for their mapping system. She added that the City of St. Anthony does not have 15 Macintosh-compatible hardware, nor does any other city with which she is familiar. Chair 16 Bergstrom stated that the Planning Commission should revisit BRW's contract, as BRW should 17 be using an IBM-compatible database. 18 19 Chair Bergstrom expressed regret at the lack of a quorum at last month's Planning Commission meeting. He formally requested that the City Council appoint another Planning Commissioner as soon as possible, which would aid in preventing another such lack of a quorum from occurring. 22 23 Commissioner Horst stated that the City Council was waiting until the end of the year to appoint 24 another Commissioner, presupposing that a 7th Commissioner would not be important to the 25 work of the Commission. Ms. Moore-Sykes agreed and stated that she would present this issue 26 along with a summary of this meeting to the City Council at their next meeting. 27 28 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated that there has been a proposal to add a convenience store in the 29 shopping center near Town `N Country. 30 31 Chair Bergstrom addressed the audience in the Council Chamber, asking if they wished to speak. 32 33 Richard Miller, 2717 30th Avenue NE, noticed the Water Management Ordinance Review on 34 this evening's meeting agenda and came to monitor the water management situation. He stated 35 that while he understands the importance of maintaining the integrity of parklands, this issue is 36 very important to residents as many backyards are involved. Chair Bergstrom thanked Mr. 37 Miller for his interest and attendance. 38 IX. ADJOURNMENT. 39 Motion by Commissioner Horst, seconded by Commissioner Makowske, to adjourn the meeting 40 at 8:15 P.M.
