Further discussion: Councilmember Elvig expressed concern that they are limiting what kind of retail can be sold on the property. Councilmember Cook stated that gazebo sales are a use that is closer to the original use. Councilmember Elvig inquired if it was possible to limit the use.

Case #7: Consider Resolution Approving the Appraisal of Damages for the Acquisition of Permanent Easements for Street, Drainage and Utility Purposes for the Improvement of Potassium Street NW City Attorney Goodrich advised that by a resolution in June 2005, the City Council authorized the commencement of an eminent domain action for the purpose of acquiring right of way for the improvement of Potassium Street NW. As a part of that action, an appraisal of the damages each of the affected parcels will suffer as a result of the taking has been completed. The statutory process required that the Council approve the appraisal. Councilmember Cook stated that it was his understanding that there was a location into the wetland being considered by the Rum River Watershed District, but a decision has not been reached as of yet. Would any action be contingent upon that decision being made or is it something that they will continue to watch. City Attorney Goodrich replied that is something they can monitor during the 90-day waiting period before the City can take acquisition. Councilmember Elvig stated that he has been contacted by several of the impacted property owners. He questioned if the City needs additional footage than what was originally discussed.
