Mr. Cable and Mr. Runym said Mr. Chapman told them they would have no trouble with it. Chairman Sorteberg said they should have tests. Mr. Cable and Mr. Runyon said it was their gamble and they thought they would have a nice setup. They said there was a fine line between commercial and industrial zoning and it was not that great. Chairman Sorteberg said they had professional planners plan and zone the area and the commission keeps hearing they should hire professionals to help them out. Mr. Pittman s aid they have been sitting here waiting for the city of Anoka to make a decision and they haV"e not done anything with the land that they have taken as commercial. He wondered how much longer they would have to "''ait. Mr. Klohe said they should make soil tests. Mr. Cable and Mr. Runyon sa id they would like the commission to zone it from indus trial to commercial before they took the tests. Mr. Zimmennan a sked what would happen if the soil tests failed and they had already zoned _ .it commercial. Chaiman Sorteberg pointed out the purpose of the maps is so the City of Ramsey can work with the City of Anoka. He thought they should have more interest in building up Ramsey than wdting for Anoka and that they could not talk to people until it is zoned commercial. Mr. Pittman asked if Mr. Cable and Mr. Runyon came in with all of the tests would Mr. Klohs pass on his decision on it. Mr. Klohs said they have to have some basic factors. Chairman Sorteberg said once it is zoned commercial it stays that way. Mr. Gamec said they are going to have a shopping c enter going up on 153rd and wondered how rural that would be and there could be shopping centers going up allover. Mr. Gamec said he did not think they needed a shopping center. He said they could get the same tax off a condomium setting there as many grocery stores. Chainnan Sorteberg said the Planning & Zoning Commis sion did not have the final say in rezoning and would have to hold a special heamng and the Council would decide. Mr. Cable and Mr. Runyon said they already own the land and would not like to spend $5,000.00 and not Mve it go through. Chairman Sorteberg said once it is zoned B-2 it is in the book and you have to go by the book. He said the commission has to make a report to the Council on their reasons for making a decision. Mr. Fossum asked who was going to own the building and was told Mr. Cable and Mr. Runyon were. Mr. Fossum said if they did not build a store and only have a bar as part of the shopping complex after it was zoned commercial and he stated they could decide not to build anything on it. Attorney Goodrich said some of the things they could have there is a hotel, motel, repairs or a funeral home with a permit. Mr. Gamec made a motion to deny rezoning this property until the developer shows a sketch of plans of what they will build on this piece of property. Attorney Goodrich advised; they should table it until they have these things. Mr. Gamec made a motion to table this matter until Mr. Cable and Mr. Runyon bring in a sketch of plans and soil borings of the proposed area and any further data which may be required by the city engineer. It was seconded by Mr. Fossum. Mr. Zimmerman made a motion to amend it until they know where the road will be in this area. The amendment failed. Mr. Pittman made a motion to amend it to the time of the next regular meeting as this matter will be brought up again. The amendment failed. Chairman Sorteberg asked for a vote on the motion.
