City Council meeting of July 6, 1999 Page 4 SITE PLAN APPROVAL (RICK'S LIQUOR) The Council consideration an application by Rick and Kelli Lindstrom, 50220 Fairfield Avenue, Rush City, MN, for construction of a 4,800 sq ft retail liquor store on Lot 3, Block 1, Bald Eagle Industrial Park. The Lindstroms have signed a Purchase Agreement with the City of Hugo for this site. The PC considered this request at their meeting of June 23, 1999, and recommended approval of the site plan. The Lindstroms will need a SUP to operate a liquor store on this site, for which they have applied. They will also need to complete purchase of the property from the City. Councilman Haas felt that the proposed business would not meet the "goals" of the Industrial Park covenants as it would not generate enough tax revenue; too much impervious surface; and not in favor of providing TIF money. Council member Barnes felt the size of the building provided an opportunity for the business to expand, and discussed the possibility of a "0" side yard setback for construction of another business. Rick and Brent Lindstrom were present, and Rick Lindstrom stated that he had not entertained any thought of another business on the site. Barnes made motion, Haas seconded, to table this matter to allow Council members Leroux and Haas to further discuss options available for this site. All aye. Motion Carried. PUBLIC HEARING (140TH STREET ASSESSMENT ROLL) A public hearing was held to consider adoption of an assessment roll for improvements proposed to be made to 140th Street, between Finale Avenue and TH61. The Council discussed various costs associated with the project (130th and 140th Streets), and whether assessments could be extended to others not abutting the road; an appraiser would have to make a benefit determination. Because the rail bed would have to be lowered to the Burlington Northern standards, the project cost would increase by $55,000, with no effect on the assessment roll. The public hearing was opened, and there were no oral or written comments. Barnes made motion, Stoltzman seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 1999-11, A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ASSESSMENT ROLL FOR THE 140TH STREET P. I. PROJECT. VOTING AYE: Barnes, Haas, Leroux, Petryk, Stoltzman Motion Carried.
