! <br />! <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski re.qponded that he did not know how many bus loads of people this building could <br />accommodate. He did not foresee that kind of occupancy for the building. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder stated that the architects have commented that the bus traffic would <br />be sporadic at bes~ and that having to show a place for the busses to park put an undue restriction <br />on the site plan. Once the City provides the end use of the old town hall, we could then address <br />the parking. <br /> <br />Jim Connolly, 16235 Kamacite Street NW, Ramsey, inquired of the seven parking spaces, how <br />many were handicapped to which Mr. Jankowski replied one. Mr. Connolly wondered if the <br />bank, with only siX parking spaces, would object to their lot being used for busses, etc. for trips to <br />the old school. H~ inquired if these would be the spaces used by the bank's employees. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder reSpOnded that staff has talked to the bank about the joint use of parking but there is <br />no agreement on me amount of use. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly commented that the parking will be down to a minimum with no agreement and he <br />wondered where that leaves the citizens of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin inquired how large the site is to which Mr. Schroeder replied one-half acre. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin inquired ff there would be room for parking on that site to which Mr. Schroeder <br />responded, potentially, yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly inquired who would have to pay to construct the parking spaces. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that if the City wants it, the City would have to provide for it. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly asked what the City is getting for the property to which Mr. Schroeder replied <br />$80,000. Mr. CO)~nolly then asked what the property was appraised at to which Mr. Schroeder <br />stated he was not certain. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly stated that $83,000 is what the County Assessor has it appraised at. He asked why <br />the City didn't just put this property up for sale. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder responded that the City was given an appraisal and was approached by the bank <br />with the intent to Purchase the property. The property was not listed with a broker. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly questioned why it was not listed to which Mr. Schroeder answered because we had <br />a market sale.. Mr. Connolly wondered if that was the best sale to which Mr. Schroeder stated that <br />we had the property appraised at $80,000 and we got $80,000 for it. <br /> <br />Art Raudio, 1404 South Broadway, Sauk Rapids, (Developer in Ramsey) stated there is a study <br />going on for Highway #47. He inquired what's the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski replied that it is currently 33 feet. It will be 45 feet from the centerline. It is 75 feet <br />on the east for 120feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Raudio questioned why he was requested to give 75 feet if this developer is required to give <br />45 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that the study is recommending that 120 feet is what's required for T.H. <br />#47. <br /> <br />City Council/February 27, 1996 <br /> Page 5 of 13 <br /> <br /> <br />
