He introduced Carol Owens and Rosalind Kiki, Principals <br />of Northern Counties Secretarial Services, and stated their proposed use of the church is to use <br />one-half of the building for secretarial services and the other half for a daycare facility, subject to <br />State approval. He stated the expected employment within the facility would be about 20 to 30 <br />which would not generate a lot of trips per day in and out of the facility. He stated that <br />professional offices would be a less intense use of the property than the church. Mr. Zylla stated <br />that within the conditional use permit, Northern Counties Secretarial Services is also asking for <br />pre-approval to expand the subject facility on the property by an additional 15,000 square feet. <br />Mr. Zylla noted that the proposal adds taxable value for the community and the school district and <br />will add to the community employment base. He stated a neighborhood meeting was held on <br />September 16, 1991 and Pastor Anderson from Lord of Life Lutheran Church and about four or <br />five of the surrounding landowners were present. He felt the people who attended the meeting <br />seemed to be supportive of the proposal. <br /> <br />Upon inquiry if the operation would be Monday through Friday, Ms Kiki stated that with the <br />emergency medical transcription business, there would be someone there every day, including <br />holidays. <br /> <br />Upon inquiry as to the number of children the daycare facility would house, Ms. Kiki replied that it <br />would depend on the size of the building and what the State allows. She estimated that the amount <br />would probably be 50 to 90 children. <br /> <br />Louis Abendroth, 15810 Sodium Street N.W., Ramsey, stated his property borders the subject <br />property and he had a bad experience in Brooklyn Park where the City rezoned to build apartment <br /> <br />Public Hearing/Planning and Zoning/ October 1, 1991 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
