---.----------- May 2, 1990 Planning Commission Minutes, Page 8 for sale of the site by the Army. . Carlson expressed dissatisfaction with that and asked where that will get us. He felt it was not good enough, that all we do is go round and round and it does not address item #1, knowing that it is a violation of all the codes, etc. McGraw asked if he would settle for getting legal opinions about all items contained in 1-5 and having the Council report back to the Planning commission. Carlson said yes, that would be better. McGraw suggested th~t this be submitted to the city Council for their recommendations and let them decide the legal action that they must take to satisfy the Planning commission requests. Martin felt item #3 (seeking action for the removal/relocation of TCAAP) seems a little strong. McGraw stated he did not feel it was strong at all, and it didn't bother him one bit, since what the Army was doing is absolutely unreasonable and unfair, not just illegal! He stated that if you do nothing today, nothing is going to happen tomorrow.

He also did not think this was too strong and he did favor it; however he believed that it would be strategically the wrong way to begin . the process.

Martin stated he was not so sure the city attorney doesn't do this type of thing every day and that perhaps we should seek professional advice and counsel. He noted he did not like the word "legal" in the motion. Chair Probst asked if the motion should be to direct the City Council to seek counsel on the possibility of pursuing any actions. Martin stated he was having trouble with the language contained in McGraw's recommendations and also felt we should find out what the City rights as to current and future uses and ownership of the property are. He objected to the court injunction demanding that they Army cease and desist all operations on the present site, and felt we are overreaching in that request. Winiecki said we could send this on to the City council, they will do what they want with this anyway. Martin responded with that's fine, but that's not in my motion. Voting on the motion: 6-2 (Carlson and Peterson) . The Commission requested that the proposed recommendations prepared by Commissioner Ray McGraw be copied and attached to the .
