Ms. Norris stated that City Code regarding subdivisions does not specify a <br />minimum number of accesses required to new plats; she and the Planning and <br />Zoning Commission are requesting direction from Council regarding whether <br />multiple accesses will be required in the future. <br /> <br />Mayor Reimann stated that Ms. Norris and the Planning and Zoning Cc~m~ssion <br />should discuss the issue and make a recommendation to City Council. <br /> <br />Discuss Plants And Tning_s: <br /> <br />Ms. Norris stated that it was agreed by Council/P&Z/EDC that Councilmember <br />Cox and herself would meet with Mr. F_ickman to resolve concerns regarding <br />operations and the recent oonstruction of an accessory structure at Plants <br />and Things. A draft of the d~velopment permit is provided that addresses <br />some of the concerns. Ms. Norris stated that P&Z is not satisfied with the <br />develo~nent permit as it does not address exterior finish, parking area, <br />loading area and certified site plan. <br /> <br />Councilmember COx stated that he sees by the minutes that EDC and Ms. <br />Norris had a discussion regarding Plants and Things. Plants and Things is <br />no longer an issue to be discussed with P&Z and EDC as Council took it upon <br />themselves to handle the matter. Councilma~ber COx noted that there are no <br />retail operations being carried on in the accessory structure; the <br />structure is being used for storage and display area. <br /> <br />Mr. Goodrich inquired if Council is going to require an escrow for the <br />bl ackt opping. <br /> <br />Councilma~ber Cox stated that he feels it would not be appropriate to <br />require an escrow as the requirements are being imposed after the fact. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmsmber Sorteberg and seconded by Councilm~ber Pearson to <br />approve the draft develot]~ent permit between the City of Ramsey and Plants <br />and Things presented at the January 27, 1987 council meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

That report must set out a plan whereby <br />the employer will pay the employees in such a way that there is a <br />comparable relationship to the job worth. <br /> <br />Councilmamber Cox inquired if newly hired employees can be paid at a lesser <br />rate until they trained and prove their ability. <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley replied that in the plan contained in the comparable worth <br />report, he recom~ that newly hired employees requiring training be p~id <br />10% below their appropriate pay range until they are adequately trair~d. <br /> <br />Councilm~r Pearson noted that the report reflects that some employees <br />are underpaid and inquired as to how adjustments will be made. <br /> <br />Page 19 of 26 <br /> <br /> <br />
