Upper Midwest Athletic Construction — A CUP was granted for outside storage, staff is waiting for the Commercial Site Plan to be submitted. Andover Cinema, 1836 Bunker Lake Boulevard — The theater seating has been upgraded and some sidewalk work is expected to occur. Staff is expecting the theatre to apply in August for a CUP for alcohol sales. Integra Dental — The Parlour has closed, which has allowed Integra Dental Office to expand. The condominium units are being sold off. President Trude asked staff to look into the placing of the for sale sign for the units as it is in front of the Acapulco Restaurant. Overall Marketing — Staff continues to work with parties interested in investing in Andover. ® OTHER BUSINESS Commissioner Holthus asked if staff has heard from Presbyterian Homes regarding their Low Income Rental Classification request. Mr. Dickinson indicated Presbyterian Homes is working on the numbers. Mr. Janish indicated staff was approached by a business interested in the property located on the southwest side of 161" Avenue and Hanson Boulevard to build a mini -storage business. The zoning would need to be rezoned for the business. The EDA did not think the mini -storage would be a good use for that location. Mr. Janish stated staff was contacted by a resident interested in submitting a CUP application for an in home chiropractic office. Commissioner Goodrich is not opposed to home occupations as long as conditions are set, such as parking and how many clients a day are seen. A majority of the EDA is not interested in allowing the chiropractic office as an in home business, they would prefer to see the business in commercial space within the city.
