<br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Council Minutes <br />May 22, 1984 <br /> <br />Mr. Wiger noted that New Brighton had rejected, based <br />on zoning, a waste disposal project; stated that Council <br />has a strong planning role; environmental resources <br />committed to CDme up with Comprehensive Plan for waste <br />management (re. landfill sites); low technology starts <br />with our leadership (compost, recycling). <br /> <br />Hopefully within a few months the Metropolitan Council <br />will sponsor a program with New Brighton's input on <br />any topics; hearing will be held for the person to be <br />selected from this area (District Three) for new <br />Regional Transit Board; June 11, 1984 there will be a <br />very open meeting. <br /> <br />Harcus thanked Mr. Wiger for calling him regarding how <br />the city feels about issues concerning New Brighton. <br /> <br />Blomquist also thanked Mr. Wiger, and asked if he <br />would have an opportunity to review and comment on the <br />state aid formula. <br /> <br />Wiger expressed frustration at the multitude of lobby- <br />ing groups; possibly sees Metropolitan Council having <br />a role, but the request would have to come from the <br />City; has asked staff to put together some information. <br /> <br />Schmidt expressed gratitude with Wiger's accessability <br />and obvious interest in our city. <br /> <br />Judy Fletcher, Metropolitan Waste Control Commission, <br />stated the Commission has been very busy the last nine <br />months; would like some reply from the communities on <br />the Independent Management Study task force; will be <br />contacting Harcus. The Commission is in the budgeting <br />process; looking to hold expenses; rates are below <br />average. <br /> <br />Mayor Harcus noted the receipt of donations from <br />Basic Industries for $1,000 and from Salem Baptist <br />for $100 and expressed thanks to both. <br /> <br />Public Hearing <br /> <br />Krueger had nothing to add to staff report regarding <br />the consideration of a request for preliminary planned <br />residential development, preliminary plat, and rezoning <br />approval to allow development of a 565 unit residential <br />housing project - Kensington (Centex Homes). She stated <br />that the Planning Commission has recommended tD deny <br />the action based on inconsistencies with the Compre- <br />hensive Plan. <br /> <br />Tim Eller, President of Centex Homes, stated that this <br />presentation was the culmination of ten months' work <br />and introduced Tom Boyce, Project Manager; Dick Putnam, <br />Partner of Tandem Corporation; and Frank Berg, BRW. <br /> <br />Page Two <br /> <br />Metropolitan Waste Control <br />Commission Presentation <br /> <br />Donations - Basic Industries <br />Salem Baptist <br /> <br />Public Hearing - Kensington, <br />Centex Homes <br />Report 84-127 <br />
