Presentation Community Development Assistant Wald stated that on December 18, 1997, the City issued an inter/m use permit to Amcor Precast at 6640 Industry Avenue NW, Ramsey, for the utilization of a 24' x 60' modular office structure until June 1, 1999 to complete their assessment of space needs and possibly developing the site as a permanent location. Amcor is requesting another two year interim use permit to continue utilizing a temporary office structure on their property. Amcor is currently going through a budget process and finalizing design plans for permanent structures to be constructed on the parcel in the years 2001 - 2003. The architect for the project will be Miller Architect. They are currently working on designing a manufacturing facility, office building, and future manufacturing addition. Amcor is looking into the possibility of receiving TIF assistance from the City. If Amcor would receive TIF assistance, then they would most likely be able to build both the manufacturing and office facility in the year 2000. In the event that TIF assistance is not available, AMCOR would phase their project over a three year period. The City has previously granted permits for temporary structures in the commercial and industrial areas to facilitate redevelopment, growth or relocation. Waste Management's permit for a temporary office structure was issued to be in effect as long as it took for their final vertical expansion (three years with four six month extensions available). Listul's permit was granted for a one year period while they developed plans to expand or relocate in Ramsey; they received a one year extension. The School's permit was issued for a two year period to allow time to construct the addition to Ramsey Elementary. Rehbein's permit for a modular dwelling at the Links was to provide living quarters for the project superintendent during construction of the golf course. Citizen Input There was none.
