VILLAGE OF ST. ANTHONY PLANNING BOARD MINIFIES December 18,1973 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Parrill at 7:35 P.M. The following were present at roll call: McGinn, Kronk, Parrill, Johnson Also present: Harry Lekson Absent: LeTourneau, Carlson, Ondrey Motion by Mr. Johnson, seconded by Mrs. McGinn to approve the minutes of November 20, 1973 meeting. Motion carried. r - Mr. Harry Schroeder of Buetow & Associates, Inc. asked for the Board's "tacit approval" of a 10,000 sq. ft. one story office building to be constructed for Hewlett-Packard in the St. Anthony Office Park. He told them the building would be used for the sales and servicing of computer components and medical monitor- ing systems and the plans for the building which he showed the Board were a prototype of the structures the company erects in other areas of the country. About 40 persons would use the proposed building which Mr. Schroeder said would be positioned on the 1.4 acres along County Road C so as to allow for a possible expansion of 5,000 sq. ft. He agreed with Mr. Johnson that it would be prefer- able to retain as much space for greenery as possible and not to add all the projected 70 parking spaces until they were actually needed to service a 15,000 wsq. ft. building. Because of its position to the front of the park, Mr. Schroed- er said the developers would consider the building a "hallmark" and were espec- ially interested that the landscaping present an attractive image. He promised the developed preliminaries would be presented at the January 8th Council meeting and that they would include detailed plans for the exit and entrance as well as exterior of the building and said he was seeking the approval of the Board of the concept of "that particular building on that particular site" so that he might apply for a foundation permit and be ready to start construction immediately following the Council meeting. Motion by Kronk, seconded by McGinn to indicate to the Council the Boards ' con- ceptual approval of the office building to be constructed for Hewlett-Packard on Lot 1, Block 1, in the St. Anthony Office Park subject to the presentation of the developed preliminaries to the Council and for the purpose of granting a foundation permit. Motion carried. The reaction of the Board members and Mr. Lekson was generally favorable to the permit application and plan approval form developed by W. Johnson for use of applicants for building permits. They felt the details supplied by the applic- ation would expedite the granting of building permits as well as furnish the applicant with necessary information of the requirements of the permit he was requesting. Mrs. McGinn thought receiving a copy of each application along with the agenda of the meeting at which the applicant would appear would aid her in the preliminary preparations necessary for each meeting. All felt using the form on a trial basis would give them time to update the forms before final printing. Vacancies for 1974 and changes in procedures of January meeting were discussed. Motion by McGinn, seconded by Kronk to adjourn at 8:35 P.M. Motion carried.
