Motion by Jacobsen, seconded by Luettinger, that the minutes of the July 9, 1973,regular meeting be approved as presented, but that the following amendments be made: Page 6, Paragraph 9.....insertion - "The City Manager presented a letter fra~m- Shelter Development Corporation stating that they could not comply with the cou~.ti.]:~4~s stipulation that construction be started in 1973", ~~ Page 3, second to last paragraph be stricken and the following (written by Councilman Kenealey) be inserted in the 'minutes of July 9th regarding the sp®cial ! use permit for off-street parking for Wooddale Baptist Church: 11Councilman Kenealey voted NO on the granting of the special use permit for off-street parking, and stated the following as to the reasons for his NO vote. The question here deals with one of Land Use, that is, is this a suitable 1oca~t.ion for an off-street parking lot for Wooddale Baptist Church?. I dot:'t think-this request is an appropriate land use at this location on the following grounds: (a) Public Park Land would be used in part for a Non-Public Purpose, Tb.is Park Land belongs to all of the 47,000 residents living in Richfield. Yew, the request here is to make part of this public ~d_f®r the exclusive use of a special interest group, the Wooddale .Baptist Church. A Church is a business, and every other business in the City of Richfield has been required to provide their own off street parking on private pr®perty without asking the~City to f~.rnish them public property for such purpose, There is no obligation here on the part of the City to provide them with public property for off-street parking. A solution to the parking problem would be for Wooddale Baptist Church tm schedule - 2 - July 23, 1973 four Services on Sunday instead of the present two. Most of the Catholic Churches in Richfield schedule at least seven Services, two on Saturday night and five on Sundayo (b) Granting this request would violate the legal principles of the separation of Church and State, (c) Aesthetics and the General Appearance of the area, (d) Potential Traffic Problems which could arisen Extra ingress and egress points which would be necessary for the 14.0 car parking ramp below the surface of the ground. Increase of traffic into the neighboring residential area, Traffic regulatory devices which might be required at the intersection of 72nd Street and Nicollet Avenue, (e) Detrimental to Public Health, Welfare and Safety of the people of Richfield,. (f) Environmental Concerns, Tkie danger of pollution to both people and the vegetation in the park, Councilman Kenealey reminded the Council that he had asked the question of whether. anyone on the staff had checked out the pollution control. standards involved in this request, and the answer was N0, Councilman Kenealey then read into the minutes a newspaper article from the Mia~nea_polis Star, dated July 7, 1973, as follows: "WASHINGTON, D. C. The Environmental Protection Agency wants to block the construction of new parking lots in some urban areas as a means to curb air pollution." I also concur with the reasons given earlier by. Mr, Connor Schmid in his presentation as to the fact that a parking ramp would be inconsistent with the present use of the land, and belongs in a commercially zoned area." Councilman R.enealey interrupted this discussion with a Point of Order as to why the Wood Lake Nature Center Air Conditioning wasn't placed on the deferred list of the agenda. Councilman Luettinger stated that he felt the bid should be taken first so that the council would know what this item would cost. Motion by Luettinger, seconded by Jacobsen, that the council direct the adminis~ tration to call for bids for the air conditioning at the Wood Lake Nature Center.
