Commissioner Brauer agreed stating this was one of the last pieces of real estate that was visible <br />from Highway 10. He questioned what the applicant was bringing to the table that would <br />contribute to The COR and the City. He questioned if taxes would be lost on this property given <br />the proposed use. He believed Site #1 was a unique parcel and should not be sold short. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked who owned Site #4. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama reported PSD owned this <br />property and this organization was not willing to negotiate on the land price. In added that he <br />feared the applicant would not qualify for a business subsidy loan, which means the City could not <br />assist with the purchase price in any way. He provided further comment on the applicant’s <br />concerns with Site #4. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nosan commented again on the number of cars that would be coming in and out of <br />this Stone Brook Academy property on a daily basis. She believed the proposed academy would <br />be much better served if located along Ramsey Boulevard. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson thought Site #4 was the best location for the academy. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer did not believe this use had to be located in The COR and requested staff find <br />out why Stone Brook was making this request. He also wanted to better understand what Stone <br />Brook would be adding to The COR and the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer believed the academy should be licensed through ECFE and not as a <br />daycare. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer requested staff bring the Planning Commission’s comments and questions to <br />Stone Brook. <br /> <br />5.08: Public Hearing: Consider Ordinance to Amend Board of Appeals and <br />Adjustment/Official Map <br /> <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 9:32 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br /> <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill presented the staff report stating the City of Ramsey, <br />along with the City of Anoka, Anoka County, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />recently accepted the Highway 10 Access Planning Study, which is now the comprehensive <br /> <br />Planning Commission/January 5, 2017 <br />Page 14 of 18 <br /> <br />
