One is that east of the building there is catch basin and without curbing <br />they will have a difficult time keeping the basin and the pipe clean. Secondly the curbing would <br />help keep vehicles from driving on the eastern portion of the site. <br /> <br />Gary Demly, 1433 Utica Street, Minneapolis, Architect, stated that he thought that there were <br />other ways they could handle the concerns without installing curbing. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec replied that the Council have to take the recommendation from the City Engineer. <br /> <br />Mr. Demly stated that he would like the opportunity to research the other possibilities and <br />discuss them with staff. <br /> <br />City Engineer Olson stated that he was sure that there were ways to accomplish his concerns <br />without curbing, which might be paving the area that is draining to the catch basin. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich noted that the motion would be contingent upon a lot of issues so it <br />could come back for review in a couple weeks. <br /> <br />Motion by Councihnember Hendriksen, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to table <br />action to allow the applicant time to work out issues with City staff and bring the case back for <br />consideration once those issues are resolved. <br /> <br />Further discussion: Councilmember Zimmerman stated that the Highway Department is <br />studying the possibility of converting Highway #10 to a freeway and inquired as to what liability <br />the would City incur if that were to occur in the future. City Attorney Goodrich replied that <br />someone would have to buy them out to acquire the property, but at this time it is unclear as to <br />who that would be. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
