<br />2 <br /> <br />County Road Band 15,100 vehicles on Lexington. <br /> <br />Dahlgren called the Commissioners attention to a letter received <br />from Bob Bierscheid, Director of Parks and Recreation, concerning <br />the Park and Recreation Board review of the Lexington proposal. <br />The letter indicated that the park portion of the new Lexington <br />School proposal is acceptable and a positive solution to the <br />proposed loss of recreation space. <br /> <br />Dahlgren outlined the comprehensive plan change, rezoning, and <br />preliminary plat and approval being requested by Kaufhold. <br /> <br />Dahlgren indicated he was not happy about the lack of cooperation <br />from the post office in this matter, and indicated that the <br />rezoning is based on the post office being there, and that he was <br />disappointed that the post office was not present, and would not <br />share their information about their operation and their study of <br />this site. <br /> <br />Gerald Kaufhold stated that he had talked to the post office, and <br />they had indicated that they did not want to get involved in the <br />rezoning action, and that they felt it was not their place. <br />Kaufhold indicated that the post office representatives had <br />indicated to him, that because of the new budget constraints, <br />they could not purchase the property before October, 1989, but <br />that they were still interested in the site. <br /> <br />Kaufhold indicated that the present tenant in the building has <br />indicated a need to continue their lease for two (2) more years, <br />and that he was negotiating a lease and purchase agreement which <br />would allow the existing tenant to continue, and give the post <br />office the right to purchase the property at the end of the lease <br />period. <br /> <br />Kaufhold indicated that there would be no building on the site <br />for approx. 2 1/2 years. <br /> <br />Kaufhold indicated that if he does not get the requested <br />approvals, he would have to sub-divide the property to recoup his <br />costs, to keep the deal going. <br /> <br />Tom Dunwell indicated that the reason for the project was to help <br />a long standing business in the community. Rose Gallery has used <br />the parking at Lexington School to meet their needs. The sale of <br />the property by the school board to another party would have <br />taken this parking away, and presented a severe problem to Mr. <br />Kaufhold's business. For that reason, Mr. Kaufhold is purchasing <br />the property which allows him to meet his parking needs and at <br />the same time expand his business. The existing business is land <br />locked, and does not allow for any expansion. <br /> <br />Mr. Dunwell indicated that they have been working on this plan <br />
