Steve Zeece Sr., 488-2571 Steve Zeece, Sr. w�.s in to discuss the possible movement of his operations on Rice 5treet to a location in Energy Park where they now operate a trash recy�ling center. He indi-- cat�s the St. Paul Port Authority would lik� to move that operation and �hat a developer, Art Bauermeister, was in�erested in warking an arrangement whereby Steve would take over the b�uildings in that p�.ant, and there would �e a possible �xchange o� land (or some other ar�angem�nt) to move that plant to S��ve's site on Rice Street. As yau know, Steve's location is immediately north of Ram��y Count�'s La�ee McCarron's Park and beachr and immediately b�hind recently appxoved new housinq (Hackworthy) fror��ing an� Wagner Place. We told Mr. Zeec� that his �.an� is too valuabl� far such use, and that any solid wa�te collection facility would �ae totally i�appropriate for tha� location. We revi�wed c�ur old suggestions with Mr. Zeece, over the �ast twenty y�axs, to move his op�ration further out sa as to gai.n more space, a more e�fici�nt layout, arnd release this excellent location on Rice Street to a higher us�. We sugg�sted this is still th� most apprapriate solution, and tha+t he may consid�r utilizing the service� c. a good realtar to af�ect tk�at chang�. Steve noted that he ha�l the pica�erty appraised in 1979 at �250,000, which comes out to abo�t $4.24 per square foot. We noted that those values may be higher today, and that the valu� will be in the land and location �or a r�ew use. 2.
