Planning Commission Meeting Minutes <br /> • September 15, 1998 <br /> Page 6 <br /> 1 Ms. Moore-Sykes stated a meeting was being organized with the DNR and Ramsey County to <br /> 2 determine future uses for the land if it is for sale. She added there are DNR grants available for <br /> 3 park development and Kathy Knapp, Community Services Director, is very knowledgeable <br /> 4 about the grant process. <br /> 5 <br /> 6 Wagner stated the School Board is concerned that conversion of the camp to residential <br /> 7 properties will cause an overload in the school system. Bergstrom stated the City might decide <br /> 8 to own the entire property temporarily, and develop certain parts of it at a later date. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Kaczor stated the garage setback permit issue raised by Mr. Robert Jensen's request needs to be <br /> 11 revisited soon. Bergstrom agreed that the issue should be discussed and invited the formation of <br /> 12 a subcommittee/task force to arrive at some revisions to the permit process. <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Makowske asked for an update on Exhaust Pro. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the owners are doing <br /> 15 landscaping and adhering to their conditional use permit. She was in contact with the landlord, <br /> 16 who stated semi-trucks from Cub Foods were destroying their landscaping, and requested City <br /> 17 intervention. Ms. Moore-Sykes advised the owner to contact the trucking company directly with <br /> 40 complaints and to request reimbursement for the ruined landscaping. <br /> 20 Makowske asked whether vehicles were still parked on the property. Ms. Moore-Sykes <br /> 21 confirmed there were vehicles, although not as many as before. She added rental business are <br /> 22 allowed in commercial district, and the vehicles are not being repaired but are ready for use. <br /> 23 <br /> 24 Thompson asked for an update on the Amoco on 37th Avenue. Ms. Moore-Sykes stated the <br /> 25 convenience store was eliminated and the gas station is now credit card only. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 Horst stated the Commission had not discussed Mr. Krier's proposal. Bergstrom stated it would <br /> 28 be necessary for the Commission to make its recommendation to the City Council, and asked for <br /> 29 input from the Commissioners. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Horst stated he liked Mr. Krier and his proposal. Wagner stated Mr. Krier had not left the City <br /> 32 with a good feeling about him after previous contracts were completed. He suggested City <br /> 33 Councilmember George Marks might have some information on that. He added Mr. Krier's <br /> 34 approach seems logical, and his price is reasonable. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Makowske stated he preferred Mr. Krier's proposal to the one presented by BRW recently. He <br /> 37 added BRW's proposal was more detailed but he had some questions about their follow-up plan. <br /> 38 He stated he would be more inclined to contract with Mr. Krier even if there is no follow-up plan <br /> 39 involved. <br /> • <br />
