Mr. Connolly questioned why it was not listed to which Mr. Schroeder answered because we had a <br />market sale. Mr. Connolly wondered if that was the best sale to which Mr. Schroeder stated that we had <br />the property appraised at $80,000 and we got $80,000 for it. <br /> <br />Art Raudio, 1404 South Broadway, Sauk Rapids, (Developer in Ramsey) stated there is a study going on <br />for Highway #47. He inquired what's the right-of-way. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski replied that it is currently 33 feet. It will be 45 feet from the centerline. It is 75 feet on <br />the east for 120 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Raudio questioned why he was requested to give 75 feet if this developer is required to give 45 feet. <br /> <br />Mr. Jankowski stated that the study is recommending that 120 feet is what's required for T.H. #47. <br /> <br />Mr. Raudio wondered when that changed from 150 feet on both sides and why some give less right-of- <br />way than others. He inquired if this property was put on bids to the public. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder replied that it was once it was known it was for sale; however, it was not actually <br />marketed. <br /> <br />Mr. Raudio stated he didn't know anything about it. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder stated it was handled much like the Business Park - it was not advertised in the paper, <br />however, Council has to have two readings of an ordinance in order to sell City-owned property. <br /> <br />Margaret Connolly, 15235 Kamacite Street NW, Ramsey, inquired if anyone had looked at "picking up" <br />the old school house. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder informed her that a moving company (Ernst) had put in a bid on moving it. There were <br />structural engineers in the building not too long ago also but he was not aware of what their findings <br />were. <br /> <br />Ms. Connolly inquired about remodeling the building to which Mr. Schroeder replied that we have <br />estimates on it, but no firm bids. This will not be bid until some of the other issues are addressed. <br /> <br />Ms. Connolly asked if the use for the old school house would be commercial. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder replied that it hasn't been decided but that he would guess it would be used for <br />community space. <br /> <br />Ms. Connolly questioned the lack of parking. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder responded that community events would probably take place in the evenings - off-peak <br />times. <br /> <br />Ms. Connolly reminded Mr. Schroeder that it has been stated that other facilities in the City are not used <br />to their full potential for meetings. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder reiterated that it has not yet been decided what the end use will be. <br /> <br /> City Council/February 27, 1996 <br /> Page 6 of 14 <br /> <br /> <br />
