Mr. Jankowski offered that he should have checked the width of the pavement. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer continued that it's hard to see around the busses. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski suggested backing the busses down to the south. <br /> <br />Councilmember Beyer felt this plan had not been well thought out. What happens if there's a bus or two <br />of children plus other people with cars. Where will we stack the cars and busses. There's only seven <br />spaces for cars, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski responded that he did not know how many bus loads of people this building could <br />accommodate. He did not foresee that kind of occupancy for the building. <br /> <br />City Administrator Schroeder stated that the architects have commented that the bus traffic would be <br />sporadic at best and that having to show a place for the busses to park put an undue restriction on the site <br />plan. Once the City provides the end use of the old town hall, we could then address the parking. <br /> <br />Jim Connolly, 16235 Kamacite Street NW, Ramsey, inquired of the seven parking spaces, how many <br />were handicapped to which Mr. Jankowski replied one. Mr. Connolly wondered if the bank, with only <br />six parking spaces, would object to their lot being used for busses, etc. for trips to the old school. He <br />inquired if these would be the spaces used by the bank's employees. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder responded that staff has talked to the bank about the joint use of parking but there is no <br />agreement on the amount of use. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly commented that the parking will be down to a minimum with no agreement and he <br />wondered where that leaves the citizens of Ramsey. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin inquired how large the site is to which Mr. Schroeder replied one-half acre. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin inquired if there would be room for parking on that site to which Mr. Schroeder <br />responded, potentially, yes. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly inquired who would have to pay to construct the parking spaces. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated that if the City wants it, the City would have to provide for it. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly asked what the City is getting for the property to which Mr. Schroeder replied $80,000. <br />Mr. Connolly then asked what the property was appraised at to which Mr. Schroeder stated he was not <br />certain. <br /> <br />Mr. Connolly stated that $83,000 is what the County Assessor has it appraised at. He asked why the City <br />didn't just put this property up for sale. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder responded that the City was given an appraisal and was approached by the bank with the <br />intent to purchase the property. The property was not listed with a broker. <br /> <br />City Council/February 27, 1996 <br /> Page 5 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
