Linder's Green House Rosemount Market Square PUD Amendment Renewal for 2000 Councilmember Klassen requested discussion on Linder's Green House Renewal because of her concern for the amendment to the Planned Unit Development of Rosemount Market Square. When this issue was before the Planning Commission wear$ age Klassen noted she had voted nay on this amendment.
