Gene Trorbridge, representing the applicant, indicated they propose to construct a building approxmiately 1600 so, fto with retail uses on the easterly half of the building and office space on the westerl) half. Mr, Lammers, architect for the applicant, indicated that no variances are required and that sufficient parking is provided. Discussion Mro G. Johnson corrnnented that the State Highway Department had indicated a need for 17 feet of additional right-of-way on Rice Street and asked how the applicant reacted to that. Mrc Trowbridge responded they would be willing to reduce the size of the building by 17 feet in length since there had been no specific use of the building. It was their desire to have a building which would fit properly on the property that was available. NOCo Dahlgren suggested that a 2S foot wide green area on the applicants property could be maintained on Rice Street which would leave at least 8 feet of green area if and when the highway department would need the 17 feet. He suggested that the building would then need to be reduced by only 10 feet, making a total length of 160 feet. The applicant felt that would be a very reasonable approach. Mr, Dahlgren also indicated that it has not been the practice of the City to ask for the dedication of right-of-way which is needed by the Minnesota Highway Department.
