She stated that this is not for their financial gain, it is for the City of Ramsey while also giving the developer five years to stabilize the hotel, which also benefits the City. Councilmember Howell asked if another developer comes in and also wants this kind of restriction, what will be done. Councilmember Woestehoff stated that a restrictive use agreement was approved in the Aldi development agreement. He noted that this is not an uncommon practice. He added that this restriction affected a smaller footprint but a larger variety of businesses. Councilmember Howell stated that she is not a supporter of use restriction agreements. She noted that Aldi did purchase their land and it was not purchased with taxpayer dollars, which makes the hotel situation different.
