City Council Minutes July 12. 1982 Page Four Mayor Hinkle indicated that he felt the City Council should give the Barthel de- velopers some indication of their intent of approval of their proposed site plan and a conditional use permit. The City Administrator indicated that the City Council could give a conditional ap- proval of the proposed site plan and an indication of approval of the conditional use permit when all of the documents necessary are submitted and the public improve, ments are addressed. The City Administrator further indicated that he has been in contact with the Minnesota Highway Department regarding access on to Highway 169 from the PUD and further indicated that a request for access must come from the property owners. Mr. Jim LaRock indicated that if the City cannot obtain access on to Highway 169, the City Council should consider a service road along Highway 169 for the flow of traffic from School Street through the planned unit development to Main Street. Councilman Toth indicated that the nursing home is planning construction and that a service road would not be able to be completed from School Street to Main Street. General discus- sion was carried on regarding a major street improvement through the planned unit development unit. Mr. Nick Olson, representative of the East Side Citizens, indicated that the East Side Citizens were in favor of the commercial development and approved of the pro- posed buffer zone between the planned unit development and the residential area. Mr. Gary Santwire indicated that twelve conditions must be met for approval of the conditional use permit and the planned unit development preliminary plat and further questioned how many of those conditions have been met by the Barthel planned unit development. The City Administrator indicated that of the six conditions for a conditional use permit, approximately three have been satisfied, and further indicated that more documents must be submitted in order to satisfy all of the conditions. The City Ad- ministrator reviewed the six standards required for a conditional use permit. Mr. Joe Flaherty indicated that he was in favor of the proposed development along Highway 169. Mr. Flaherty indicated that in the past 63 years, there have not been any new buildings constructed in the downtown area and that all new development has been done on the other side of the tracks. Mr. Flaherty indicacted that it is his feelings that that is the only direction the City can grow. Mr. Flaherty further indicated that it is his understanding that the issuance of industrial revenue bonds does not cost the City and does. not take away from the integrity of the City. Mr. Flaherty indicated that it is his information that most of the progressive City's are using industrial revenue bonds to promote development and labor development as well. ~ Mr.Les Anderson questioned the proposed parcels F and G as part of the long range plan with regard to their proposed detachment from the main shopping facility.
