Mr. goodrich stated that he did extensive research on the alternatives presented to Council since the April 19 referendum Airport Zoning Ordinance referendum. Mr. Goodrich stated that he has found no concrete law on the issues raised and the degree of finality imposed by Airport Zoning referendum, according to Charter Section 5.07, is ambiguous. Mr. Goodrich advised that the City seek the opinion of the Attorney General. Another issue for which an opinion should be sought is the relationship of Charter section 5 .07 to the Airport Zoning Statutes. Motion by Councilmember DeLuca and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to direct the City Attorney to seek the Attorney General's opinion regarding issues he deems appropriate relating to airport safety zoning and the Ramsey City Charter. Motion carried, Voting Yes: Mayor Reimann, Councilmembers Sorteberg, DeLuca and Pearson. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Cox. Case #2: Community School "Youth At Risk Program": Ms. Arlene Stafford was present to review with City Council a program to become effective July 1, 1988 called "Youth At Risk". The program will focus on youth between the ages of 8 and 15 years. The State is funding this program through community education programs. With the facilities Ramsey will have available for use in the near future, Ms. Stafford advised that Ramsey plan to participate in the program. Mayor Reimann stated that he wants to see programs for the youth succeed but he feels the programs should be self-sustaining through fees charged to the users. Case #3: Request For Final Plat Approval Of Gordon Addition; Case Of M~. Harley Gordon: Ms. Norris stated that Harley Gordon is proposing a minor subdivision of a 39 acre parcel located at 181st and Armstrong into one 10 acre and one 30 acre parcel. Anoka County and Planning and Zoning have reviewed the request and recommend approval. Mayor Reimann noted that Mr. Gordon's grandfathered business on the property has been expanding over the years and a conditional use permit should be applied for. Mr. Gordon stated that according to Anoka County, growing nursery stock is horticulture and falls into the farming category; the farming classification allows for the selling of anything grown on the property without the need for city permits. Motion by Councilmember Sorteberg and seconded by Councilmember Pearson to adopt Resolution #88-97 approving the final plat of Gordon Addition. (Refer to resolution file for Resolution #88-97).
