City Administrator Norman noted that the other issue that was discussed during the meeting with <br />the property owners was their request for the City to purchase their properties. If the Council <br />should desire, staff could bring back a proposal for consideration to purchase the property from a <br />willing seller at the assessed value. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman inquired if Highway gl0 is upgraded to freeway standard what <br />would it do to the property along Highway gl0. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman replied that if Highway #10 is changed to freeway standards the <br />State would try and eliminate accesses from Highway gl 0. <br /> <br />Councilmember Zimmerman stated that until they get some input from the State and County as <br />to what the road will look like in the future it is not appropriate to be purchasing the land. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec inquired if it is beneficial to know the value of the property at this time. <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that staff would get a list of the value of the properties for <br />their review from the Courthouse. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to direct staff to provide information on the value of the properties <br />along Highway gl0. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Anderson, seconded by Councilmember Zimmerman, to direct the <br />City Attorney to extend the condemnation heatings for 60 days. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Anderson, Zimmerman, <br />Hendriksen, and Kurak. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #6: <br /> <br />Request for Site Plan Review of Sunfish Gateway Development; Case of <br />Sharp and Associates, L.L.C <br /> <br />City Administrator Norman stated that the City of Ramsey has received a request for site plan <br />review from Sharp and Associates, L.L.C. The site plan is proposing to construct a multi-tenant <br />office/warehouse/showroom structure on 9.7 acres. The area is generally located in the <br />northwest comer of McKinley St. NW and' Sunfish Lake Boulevard. The City Council reviewed <br />the proposed site plan at its February 27, 2001, meeting and tabled the request until access issues <br />onto Sunfish Lake Boulevard were resolved between the City, the developer, and Anoka County. <br /> <br />City Engineer Jankowski explained that Anoka County recommended that no access be granted <br />along Sunfish Lake Boulevard, but if an access were to be granted they recommended that it <br />occur directly across from Sunfish Lake Court. The advantage to aligning the accesses is that <br />Sunfish Lake Boulevard will possibly be improved with a divided median down the center and it <br />would be more likely to get an opening in the median having two accesses across from each <br /> <br />City Council/March 20, 2001 <br /> Page 4 of 12 <br /> <br /> <br />
