NOTE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES <br /> <br />The Committee noted the following Planning Commission minutes: <br /> <br />1) <br /> <br />Planning Commission Public Hearing and regular meeting minutes dated March 7, <br />1995 <br /> <br />COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Consider Philanthropic Proposal from Ace Solid Waste <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos introduced Mr. Denny Fredrickson, General Manager for <br />Ace Solid Waste. <br /> <br />Mr. Fredrickson stated that Ace has quite a few customers in the City of Ramsey; therefore, <br />he is presenting a program which would allow Ace to give back to the community. He <br />summarized the program as follows: For every net new customer, Ace will donate $5 to <br />the parks, or something like that. Mr. Fredrickson felt that where the money goes should <br />be flexible so that it could be channeled to where it's needed the most. He elaborated on a <br />plan he developed in the City of Savage called "Trees in the Park". <br /> <br />Mr. Boos suggested that maybe Ace's contribution could be more tangible/recognizable <br />instead of just putting the money into a "pot". <br /> <br />Mr. Fredrickson reiterated they are flexible. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos inquired about the "kick-off" time. <br /> <br />Mr. Fredrickson replied the sooner the better. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hetland suggested May 1. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cook suggested purchasing trash receptacles with some of the money. <br /> <br />Mr. Fredrickson explained that rather than his company actually purchasing the item, the <br />City would be issued a check. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos suggested that maybe Ace could present one of those "giant-size" checks to the <br />Park Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cook suggested an article relating to this plan could be placed in the Ramsey <br />Resident. <br /> <br />Case g2: Review Sketch Plan for City of Ramsey's Business Park <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that the Business Park is a subdivision sponsored by <br />the City; therefore, park dedication is not required. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder described the area of the approximately 50 acres that the City <br />owns. The City is platting approximately 13 of these acres into three lots to accommodate <br />new industrial businesses. The three companies scheduled to build, thus far in the <br />Business Park, are Trend Scientific, Command Corporation and Carbon Product <br />Technologies. He explained that the issue is to complete the plat, as well as to build <br />streets. He stated the lots would receive public access from McKinley and Uranium Streets <br />which are being constructed by the City with tax increment financing revenues to promote <br />Park and Recreation Commission/April 13, 1995 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />
