COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Appointment to the Economic Development Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Zillinger was interviewed by the Economic Development Commission. He briefed the <br />Commission on his present job activities and is serving on a number of committees within the <br />company. Mr. Zillinger told the Commission that he has been living in Ramsey for about two <br />years now and has a desire to become more involved in the community. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Greenberg and seconded by Commissioner Vevea to recommend to the <br />City Council appointment of Monte Zillinger to the Economic Development Commission to a term <br />expiring on January 31, 1992. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes. Chairman Wagner, Commissioners Gorecki, Vevea, Greenberg and <br />Nelson. Voting No: None. Absent: Commissioners Fults, Hardin and Muller. <br /> <br />Case #2: Discuss Adult Use Zoning. <br /> <br />Project Manager James Gromberg opened the case discussion by reminding the Commission that <br />some area must be zoned to be available for adult uses because to zone it out of existence would be <br />unconstitutional. According to the rezoning proposal, any adult use must maintain a distance of <br />750 feet from other adult uses and any area frequented by minors. There is a proposal that would <br />create two new zoning districts (B-3 and B-W) that would allow adult uses. <br /> <br />The Commission and Mr. Gromberg discussed what types of businesses were allowed in the <br />proposed zoning districts. Commissioner Gorecki viewed these proposals as sacrificing part of <br />our industrial area for adult use businesses. Mr. Gromberg stated that the Economic Development <br />Commission must examine the allowable uses in the proposed zoning districts and compare them <br />with the existing businesses so as not to preclude them from the zoning district or make future <br />expansion and improvements difficult. Commissioner Gorecki mentioned that the proposed light <br />industrial district seems to be set up for established businesses with more capital. We need to have <br />space for growing small businesses who are quite possibly just moving out of their garages. We <br />could leave the proposed light industrial district as is and just add on adult uses. Mr. Gromberg <br />mentioned that we do not need to open all of the industrial district to adult uses. <br /> <br />Commissioner Greenberg asked if it was possible for the Economic Development Commission to <br />meet with the Planning and Zoning Commission on October 22, 1990 just before their special <br />meeting in order to define the specific areas and precisely how they will be zoned. <br /> <br />Chairman Wagner directed Mr. Gromberg to draft a letter to the Planning and Zoning Commission <br />requesting a joint meeting of the Economic Development Commission and the Planning and Zoning <br />Commission and to include in the letter the concerns of the EDC; such as including existing area <br />businesses in the zoning proposal. A copy of this letter will also be forwarded to the Economic <br />Development Commissioners. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson dismissed herself from the meeting at this time. <br /> <br />Economic Development Commission / October 10, 1990 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
