utilizing Ace as a partner and use private dollars for this purpose. Councilmember Strommen noted the Council authorized the grant application, accepted the grant, and authorized staff to send out an RFP so she questioned why this is the first time these concerns are being raised. Councilmember McGlone stated in the translation between staff and him, he thought the grant could be used to build a facility, fencing, or signage Councilmember Elvig stated it makes sense to get Ace involved but he does not support the motion if postponing a private /public effort and building without public input. Mayor Ramsey clarified the motion by Councilmember McGlone to postpone is because he does not want to move forward at this time. City Administrator Ulrich recommended action to table to November 27, 2012, a date specific, to allow time for staff to research grant funding with Anoka County and pursue an Ace Solid Waste recommendation to prepare a better proposal. Councilmember McGlone declined the suggestion and indicated the motion stands to table indefinitely. Assistant Planner /Environmental Coordinator Anderson confirmed the grant was to gather information necessary to identify space needs, equipment needs, lot size, and building setup to accommodate materials. There may be a similar grant opportunity in 2013 for up to $50,000 without a match requirement to build on what is learned over the next few months. It was his understanding that Ace Solid Waste would provide planning and hoped the grant money could be shifted towards hard costs. Assistant Planner/Environmental Coordinator Anderson indicated Ace Solid Waste has expertise in providing hauling and recycling services; however, does not match up in terms of expertise with project design and site layout. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Ramsey, Councilmembers McGlone, Wise, 13ackous, and Tossey. Voting No: Councilmembers Elvig and Strommen 7.02: Request for Final Plat Review of NORTHGATE ADDITION (Minor Plat) and Request for Site Plan Review and Conditional Use Permit for Northgate Performing Arts Center at the North East Intersection of Sunwood Drive and Peridot Street; Case of PSD, LL and Northgate Church Development Services Manager Gladhill reviewed the staff report and presented the site plan components and parking calculations. City Administrator Ulrich stated there would be no TIF impact because this is tax exempt property. The Council discussed the availability of parking and opportunity for shared parking. It was noted if the church grows and wants to expand, underground or ramp parking, or proof of parking could be addressed at that time. In addition, there is a City parking lot in the area. The Council indicated it wanted to assure that following the Planning Commission's recommendation for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) allows opportunity to address parking at the time of a future expansion. Development Services Manager Gladhill noted consideration is for Phase 1. Phase 2 would require site plan review and a revised CUP, resulting in City consideration. He explained that should staff identify an issue, even if no expansion, it will be brought before the Council. Development Services Manager Gladhill indicated the City's analysis did not consider the PACT City Council / October 23, 2012 Page 6 of 11
