<br />Councilmember Jeffrey inquired what will be done if parking spills over into Midwest Car Care, <br />which was known to be a sensitive issue in the past. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan replied this can be discussed with the owner of <br />Midwest Car Care; they may be able to get together with the owners of HealthQuest regarding <br />the parking. He indicated he believes there are 32 spaces on the site. <br /> <br />Councilmember Olson commented this amount of spaces should be sufficient for a 30 minute <br />workout facility. . <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to direct staff to bring forward the HealthQuest lease for approval. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Sullivan indicated when the case is presented to Council it <br />will include information regarding costs for the improvements, but they will be reimbursable <br />costs. <br /> <br />2) PSD LLC Developments in RTC <br /> <br />Interim City Administrator Nelson reviewed that at the February 27, 2007 City Council work <br />session, Jim Deal and Curt Martinson of PSD, LLC discussed the plans for the land they <br />currently own within Ramsey Town Center. Due to time constraints, they were not able to <br />complete that discussion. They have been invited back to present what they are doing with their <br />properties in Ramsey Town Center, LLC. <br /> <br />Mr. Deal informed the Council that PSD, LLC has signed an agreement with the 10th Judicial <br />District that will include approximately 8,000 SF of office space. The Anoka County Medical <br />Examiners Office has located their position and surveying is in the process. Mr. Deal stated with <br />regard to the development of the five acres, his feeling is that there needs to be an aggressive <br />marketing for the City of Ramsey beyond this project. He has met with the Ramsey Foundation. <br />and feels they may be able to play a cooperative role in how that unfolds. A foundation has a <br />unique value because there are many things a foundation can do that a city or college cannot do. <br />He looks forward to working with Council and the Ramsey. Foundation to see how they can <br />unravel this to make a meaningful type of marketing concept. <br /> <br />Mr. Deal informed Council about the concept for five acres owned by PSD, LLC within Ramsey <br />Town Center, including a Golds Gym, hotel and civic functions. He explained PSD, LLC is <br />working to pin down the gym, followed by the hotel and the civic functions. Mr. Deal and Mr. <br />Martinson provided Council with an overview of the concept plans for the following: <br />· Golds Gym with a building footprint of approximately 38,000 SF <br />· Hotel with 80 to 100 rooms on Floors 2 through 5 and retail on Floor 1; connection to a <br />restaurant and conference rooms <br />· Possible uses including youth rooms, teen places, climbing wall, water park, skate park, <br />kitchen facilities, arts and crafts area. Possibility of City involvement with a civic <br />component tied to the uses. Possibility of a Park and Recreation Department officing in <br />this location and managing the civic components. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session I April 3, 2007 <br />Page 3 or 14 <br />
