planninq o.....;"sion Meeting .. 11-03-93 makes good sense to keep the bJs company there and make the nece=c~ry illlprovements to the property. . John stenglein of 1785 W. Co. Rd. F aske::l. when the lease mq:lires with Reco? Mr. Dischinger stated in December 1996. Mr. stenglein then questioned when Ryder will bid the contract with the School District for the 1994-1995 school year. Mr. Dischinger stated the bidding would take place in the spring. If they are not successful in obtaining the contract, Ryder has no need to have the bJs company at that site. Mr. st:en;Jlein stated this type of bJsiness has operated un:l.er a R-1 classification for 30+ years, and we as neighbors want to know if the rezoning is the hang up. Why can't Ryder and City staff get together and adjust that part of the ordinance, do the ilI1provements, replace the tanks, because the PCA will probably make Ryder replace them anyway, and continue to operate the way you are. Mr. stenglein would have a problem with the rezoning because it could illIpact his property value. Jim Borg, 1812 Janet Court addressed several of his =ncerns which include: In=eased traffic, and lack of dis=etion by some drivers going down the hill from the west, someone is going to slide un:l.er the bJs some day; residents are alIrost hit by the I:R1s when walking along County Road F; the stench from the l:IJses is so bad, you can smell it from 1 1/2 miles away; there is a definite diesel fuel smell; the amount of noise has greatly increased, drivers start warming up the roses at 5:20 am; the roof of the b.rilding is nothing but rust, as well as the side of the b.rildingi the amount of wildlife on the pond has diminished and it could have something to do with washing the roses on the Propertyi there was same repair work being done on this property, and this too has grown. . Mr. Borg continued to carnment that it is a fact if the property is rezoned to a B-1 and Reco sells to someone else, another COIDlIlElrCial l:R1siness could move onto this site. Mr. Wallace stated he has lived in the area since 1985 and has seen many changes inCluding the road along the Interstate opening up for access to New Brighton, and the opening of Long Lake Regional Park which acXIs to the addition traffic along County Road F. There is a definite safety hazard. Mr. Wallace would have a problem with the B-1 rezoning. The recent announcement by New Brighton about the company employing 500 people locating there will only make the situation worse. Don Tix, 1770 Co. Rd. F has lived in the area for 10 years and sees a real problem with congestion. 'There is a 15-20 minute span when roses are leaving the tenninal and l:IJses are earning into and going out of the Mounds View High School area. Carl Hosler, 1724 W Co. Rd. F has lived in the area for 32 years. He questions how would rezoning to a B-1 change the tax base? Mr. Fritsinger informed Mr. Hosler that the taxes are based on the use, not the zone classification, therefore this parcel is taxed as conunercial. Mr. Jim Ross, 4029 Fairview referred to his letter provided to the Commission members in their packets and reiterated that the dust, carb:m . dioxide and diesel smell penetrates the neighborhood. 'The fumes have increased tremendously. He also =mnented that the traffic counts have in=eased and there are roses coming and going at all times of the day.
