<br /> p'''nn;~ Calmi.ssion Meeting 7 11-03-93 <br /> He further questioned whether any violations have been noted by the <br />. building inspector relating to electrical or plumbing issues. <br /> Mr. Erickson re:[Uested a clarification as to who actually owns the <br /> bJses. It was confinned that Ryder owns the b1ses and RECO owns the <br /> land and building. As part of the lease agreement, Ryder is responsible <br /> to take care of the building and land. <br /> Mr. Erickson asked for further clarification that there is no verbiage <br /> noted to the number of b1ses allowed at the time of the move from New <br /> Brighton to Arden Hills. Mr. Fritsinger stated there is no <br /> documentation stating a certain number of b1ses was allowed. <br /> Mr. Erickson asked whether there would be a possibility to change the <br /> zoning ordinance to insert language to apply conditions to this <br /> property, or as a condition to the SUP, to attach language to address <br /> the issue that a bus tenninal must be located within so many feet of a <br /> school facility. Mr. Erickson further commented he would like to see <br /> staff work with Ryder to find a compromise, and to limit the service <br /> only to the Mourrls view School District. Mr. Erickson commented that <br /> there seems to be a need for staff to explore other options. <br /> Mr. Petersen stated he agreed with Mr. Erickson comments. Mr. Petersen <br /> would like to see the property repaved and the number of b1ses reduced. <br /> The residents of Arden Hills should not have to be hassled with bJses <br /> earning and going out of the area to serve North Minneapolis and other <br /> private schools. <br />. Mr. McGraw commented that the conditions of the entire area should be <br /> addressed when considering the rezoning of this area. Mr. McGraw stated <br /> he is not pleased with the continued expansion aver the years, the <br /> repair of other vehicles and this use should be phased out entirely of <br /> this operation. Mr. McGraw further stated his concern is to protect the <br /> interest of the City and also to get along with Ryder. Maybe by intent <br /> Ryder has not abused their privileges, the expansion just happened. <br /> We nee:l to work out a reasonable agreement with Ryder while protecting <br /> the site. <br /> Chair Winiecki stated she is not in favor of a spot zoning concept. Mr. <br /> Fritsinger responded by stating that the city Attorney indicated that <br /> this rezoning should not be considered spot zoning. <br /> Chair winiecki then outlined the options as discussed which include: <br /> 1) Approve the re:[Uest that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to <br /> reflect a commercial use and that the property be rezoned from R-1 <br /> to B-2 to comply with the amended Comprehensive Plan. The <br /> neighborhood seems to be in agreement that Ryder is acceptable as <br /> a neighbor, but the concern is if Ryder would leave, what type of <br /> commercial use would come onto this property. <br /> 2) Deny the re:[Uest. <br /> 3) Deny the re:[Uest for the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and <br /> rezoning and encourage the closure of this use by amortizing its <br /> operation over the next 5 years. <br />. 4) Table the re:[Uest for further infonnation from staff. <br /> 5) Table the discussion indefinitely and allow the use to continue in <br /> the "grandfather" nature. Look into the health and welfare <br /> standards, and if applicable, use these options as a way to make <br />
