Council Report Dave Childs gave the Council report. Sub division on Long Lake Road wanted park dedication plan changed so they could do one lot at a time. Council said no. U.S. West building is going up, also Remele Engineering. The nursing home across from City Hall will be expanding. Dentist office, Chiropractic Office, Chinese Restaurant will be purchased by the City. There is a $350,000 block grant to help buy those properties. Rottlund Homes may be building 74 townhomes. They are hoping to start on the north end in August. The design is the same as the one in Falcon Heights north of Larpenteur and east of Cleveland. They were all sold before they were finished. There is a problem with the soil from the dry cleaners area. Should know the results of the testing tomorrow. John Ordway, the same person who built the Stoney Lake Office Buildings, is the designated designer of the property from City Hall to Hwy. 10. B. Multi City Senior Center Olson said the Senior Center Task Force went to the Metropolitan Council Parks and Open Space Commission for approval of locating the project in a regional park. Anderson explained that the land can only be used for open space and preservation and used by implementing agencies. Having the Senior Center on this property goes against this policy. They are afraid of getting a flood gate of requests for building on open space land if they allow this one. On the other hand they like the shared senior center idea.
