Christian Brothers have a purchase agreement with Kottkes for the parcel located at 1716 Bunker Lake Boulevard. Mr. Carlberg stated parcels zoned Industrial require a forty (40) foot front and rear setback. He believes a forty (40) foot rear setback is excessive. Blaine and Coon Rapids have a twenty -five (25) foot rear setback and Ramsey a twenty (20) foot. A forty (40) foot setback could pose an issue with the Christian Brothers' site plan. The large building houses the vehicles at night so no vehicles are left outside. Mr. Carlberg suggested a text amendment to the rear setback to be more consistent with other communities. This item will be brought to the Planning & Zoning Commission at their July l O meeting. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Howard to adjourn. Motion carried unanimously.
