Mr. Wild stated they were having another meeting this week <br />regarding the building elevations and he would bring this request up for <br />consideration. However, he noted it was not possible to add windows to the west <br />side due to Building Code requirements. <br /> <br />Bruce Thompson, Ra.msey County Project Manger, asked if Council would be <br />agreeable to adding additional trees around the building instead of windows. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson replied he would like to see Some changes to the <br />building rather than just adding additional landscaping. He suggested moving the <br />building farther away from the property line. He noted his main concern was the <br />aesthetics ofthe building. <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem stated she believed Council should consider whether <br />Councilmember Larson's concerns were concerns of the entire Council. She <br />stated she was not in objection to the project as proposed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant agreed with Councilmember Larson regarding the <br />aesthetics of the building. He stated he would also like to see additional <br />screening. He asked where the future expand ability for the City would be located. <br />Mr. Thompson replied a separate building could be constructed; an addition <br />could be made onto the west end of the building; or the City could take some of <br />the County's cold storage. He noted there were other places the City could expand <br />on the site. <br /> <br />Mayor Aplikowski closed the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a <br />motion to approve Planning Case #03-26, Ramsey County Partners <br />Public Works Facility & Sheriff Station, 1425 West Highway 96, <br />Special Use Permit Amendment to allow for the addition of the <br />Sheriff Station to the Public Works Facility with the 18 conditions as <br />noted in staffs October 27,2003 report and adding a condition 19 to <br />
