Public Comment Period -Following Presentation: <br />❖ Is it important to notify school across the street? <br />■ The school has been informed as has the Anoka County Highway Department <br />❖ Does school get a chance to comment? <br />■ Yes <br />❖ Why not a park? <br />■ Very dangerous crossing Nowthen Boulevard <br />❖ Is the City working on budgeting for a fire station other than data center? <br />■ CIP, grant funding and general levy. <br />❖ Sure seems like spot zoning with residential all around, irrational, inconsistent and devalues properties. <br />❖ Is it Council's vote that determines this? Can Councilmember Riley voice his thoughts? <br />• Flattering that City was approached for a data center <br />• If in his backyard he would be OK, especially due to setbacks. <br />• Definitely concern about future use with building <br />❖ Why not the Ken Niles site? Similar size, at the highway and already commercial. <br />❖ Who decides if it is spot zoning? <br />■ State Statue 462.357 <br />❖ Is the City willing to put moratorium on property tax increases for 10-15 years? <br />❖ Picked residential site due to it being a park/school, never would have built there if this concept was known. <br />❖ School District and principal have stated they have not had plans for a school here for years. Now, why haven't <br />builders/realtors been informed of this? <br />❖ Residential seems most logical. <br />■ Just because it has good points for a data center, it could also be viewed as a good location for other uses like <br />homes. <br />❖ It's air conditioning, not generators that we raise concerns. <br />❖ Trees won't provide screening for 10-15 years. <br />❖ Spot zoning again seems to be an issue <br />❖ What benefit is there for the residents of the neighborhood? <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />G:\ComDev\PROJECTS\FormerMunicipalCenter\Open House\Comments\Comment.Public.docx <br />
