There were no other comments from the audience. MOTION by Anderson to close the public hearing. SECOND by Busho. Ayes: 4. Nays: 0. In response to Renee Stevenson's question whether the site had been shown to other developers, Economic Development Coordinator Miller advised that he has offered the site as an option to other developers, but that most everyone has been interested in a higher visibility location, i.e., Highway 3 or County Road 42. Because the commissioners had questions regarding the resolution and the Schmitts had just submitted the development agreement to their attorney for review, it was decided to defer this item to the special meeting on October 11, 1994. Chair Carroll pointed out some typographical changes in the resolution. Economic Development Coordinator Miller advised that a meeting had been held with Dakota County Technical College students and their instructor, Mr. Skujius, where the students presented their designs for the business park entrance monument. Miller and Chair Carroll both agreed that the designs were unique and were pleased to see that they had a high-tech connotation to them. Miller explained that the students are interested in appearing before the board to make an official presentation. Staff was directed to continue working with the students to narrow down the number of designs and bring it back to a future meeting when the full board is present. Executive Director Burt advised that a meeting had been held with the Carlsons regarding their proposal to implement a redevelopment TIF district for their property. A tentative proposal should be ready to present to the board at the October 18th meeting. Burt also advised that the Carlsons would like to solicit suggestions from the commissioners about what types of businesses they would like to see on the property besides the proposed motel and resta.urant. Renee Stevenson questioned whether the terms and conditions of the sale had been on file during the posting period of the public hearing notice on the sale of land to Betty Jo and Steven Schmitt. Staff advised Ms. Stevenson that the materials had been available for review at city hall during that time. Port authority counsel was directed to examine the notice and advise if the notice and staff had fulfilled the requirements of a public hearing notice for the sale of land. Ms. Stevenson also questioned whether Community Development Director Wasmund had received any comments regarding the sale and, if so, why those comments had not been relayed during the public hearing. Wasmund advised that he had not received any comments from anyone during the public comment period. 2 ROSEMOUNT PORT AUTHORITY PROCEEDINGS REGULAR MEETING OCTOBER 4, 1994 MOTION by Busho to adjourn.
