He referenced a letter he received from Dan <br />DeBruyn of Spectrum High School earlier that afternoon, which outlined Spectrum's <br />intent to purchase the building and property located at 17823 Industrial Circle NW <br />to fulfill their plans to expand facilities within the business park. Mr. Portner <br />indicated staff had exhausted all other conceivable opportunities available by the city <br />during many discussions and meetings over the past few months and asked for <br />discussion regarding Spectrum's desire to achieve their proposed solution to their <br />expansion needs. He also asked for discussion and direction from the council for <br />their proposal to amend the city's ordinance to disallow institutional uses within <br />business parks, and noted would have no impact on Spectrum's current operations as <br />their operation of a school institution would be a legal non -conforming use. <br />Mayor Dietz asked about the Economic Development Authority -owned property in <br />the business park as still being an option for Spectrum. <br />Counciltnember Westgaard noted moving Spectrum from the Industrial Park to the <br />Business Park doesn't solve the school's entire problem as both locations have <br />similar challenges and concerns with location, traffic, and interaction with other <br />r0NFIFI Ir <br />r ATURE <br />
