I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I termine what value it will be to the community and consider how much other area in that area is capable of that zoning and how does this fit in with our comprehensive plan. Mr. Haggerty, Attorney for Coon Rapids Clinic, Brooklyn Park stated he has saved $11,000 by restricting their business area. The blacktop parking lot proposed at this shopping center will cause serious storm sewage prob- lems. Once you rezone you lose control. Ail they are doing is moving across the street and there is no compelling reason plus you increase costs with storm sewer which would affect residents of that area. The reason business hasn't moved in your present B-1 area is because of the economic slump. City Attorney Goodrich advised that the Council has the following options: 1) Adopt ordinance permitting the requested zoning 2) Additional public hearings 3) Authorize staff to draft findings of fact for latter formal action 4) Acquire professional planner-type input prior to making a final decision City Attorney Goodrich stated the Council has 45 days after the public hear- ing to act. If they go beyond that date, the request is automatically approved. City Attorney goodrich asked Robert Muller if he would waive this right. Robert Muller stated he would waive the 45 day time limit, but he also would not like this decision to run over too long a span of time. Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg, author- izing staff to compile all present data and any new data into a new Findings of Fact to be reviewed at the first meeting of the Ramsey City Council in December. Motion carried. Voting yes Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Van Wagner, Sorteberg, Reimann and Cox. Voting no None. Case #5 - Mr. Wes Bulen's Request to Rezone his property from R-1 to B-1 For a Golf Course: Building Official Berg stated that PUD was recommended by Planning and Zoning Commissionmember Art Dunn because the PUD would tie the entire property into one contract. City Administrator Schnelle said that if you go PUD you have to designate various areas and if you create a special zoning you can specifically itemize what is approved to go in there. Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Van Wagner to authorize staff to draw up a new Findings of Fact and Council consider going to a PUD as opposed to a special zoning. Motion carried. Voting yes Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Van Wagner, Sorteberg, Reimann and Cox. Voting no None. C/October 27, 1981 Page 13
