Mr. Hartley noted that the City will be interviewing applicants for the <br />position of building inspector in the near future and the quality of <br />ordinance enforcement will depend on the person selected to fill that position. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Howell and seconded by Commissioner Shumway to strongly <br />urge City Council to hire a full-time Class II Building Inspector and a full- <br />time Community Services Officer. <br /> <br />Voting Yes: Chairman Peterson, Commissioners Ippel, Shumway, Kurak, Howell, <br />Deemer, LaDue, Wagner, Fults and Hendricksen. Voting No: Chairman Greenberg, <br />Commissioners Zimmerman, Vevea and DeLuca. Absent: Commissioners Muller and <br />Hardin. <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg and Commissioners Vevea, DeLuca and Zimmerman noted for the <br />record that they are in favor of hiring a full-time building inspector but do <br />not necessarily see the need to hire a full-time community services officer at <br />this time. <br /> <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission asked for input from EDC regarding what <br />kinds of developments are desired where to be used in their preparation of <br />performance standards. <br /> <br />Case #4: <br /> <br />Discussion Regarding Corridor(s) For MississiDp~ River .Bridge <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that Anoka should be urged to continue Thurston Avenue <br />through Ramsey to connect with County Rd. #5. Both river crossings and <br />Thurston Avenue have the potential to improve Ramsey's self image. <br /> <br />Mr. Greenberg stated that the idea for Thurston Avenue would be good only if <br />there is a Mississippi River bridge crossing at that point also. If the <br />present bridge is expanded to 6 lane, traffic coming into Ramsey should be <br />routed out West Main instead of going up the cloverleafs and onto Hwy. 10. <br /> <br />Mr. Deemer stated that there are two viable river crossings coming out of the <br />Metro Traffic Task Force -- Thurston Avenue and Cty. Rd. 9 in Coon Rapids; <br />Thurston Avenue will be less expensive and more viable. <br /> <br />Mr. Fults stated that communication and discussions should take place to set up <br />traffic flow guidelines for developers to follow. <br /> <br />COMMISSION INPUT <br /> <br />Chairman Greenberg suggested that another EDC/P&Z joint meeting be held in a <br />couple of months and in the meantime recommendations for stricter zoning <br />regulations on property along Hwy. 10 should be considered. <br /> <br />Mr. Fults stated that EDC should be made aware of when P&Z will be discussing <br />performance standards so that input can be provided. <br /> <br />Consensus was that EDC and P&Z should meet quarterly with a subcommittee <br />established to prepare agendas for those meetings. <br /> <br />May 13, 1986 <br /> <br />Page4 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
