The <br />majority of comments which follow will concern the 22 acre parcel of land. <br />Our application pertains _s_olely to enabling continuance of the specialty <br />crop program farming operations and does not pertain to the potential West <br />Campus ^ the smaller specialty building which have been discussed in the <br />items are separate unrelated matters needing separate <br />consideration at such time that an application would be submitted. <br />The Specialty Crop program is part of our Department of Natural Resource <br />and Environmental Technology. Specialty crop production consists of such <br />areas as orchards, nursery stock, vegetables, sod, Christmas trees, small <br />grains and annual and perennial flowers. Many small plots will continue <br />^ be developed so that the overall effect will be creating an aboretum. <br />The land, therefore, will continue to be used for agricultural purposes <br />as it has been for well over the past fifty years. <br />All provisions of the conditional use permit Issued on May 10, 1976 (See <br />attachment) will continue to be met with the exception that we are asking <br />that the access point be reconsidered for reasons which will be explained <br />below. We will need to continue to provide on the 22 acre parcel on a <br />temporary basis satellite sanitary facilities and a mobile construction <br />trailer for student shelter. Both items will continue to be screened by <br />natural plantings. There will be neither student parking nor buildings <br />constructed. Students will continue to park their cars at the classroom <br />facility which is located elsewhere with transportation provided to the <br />site by the district. • <br />We are asking that the current condition which states that "there shall be <br />no access to County Road No. 6 from the properties" be reconsidered. The <br />exact reasoning behind this requirement is unclear. We believe that perhaps <br />Bloomington No. 271 Edon Prairie No. 272 Edina No. 273 Hopkins No. 274 Minnetonka No. 278 Mound No. 277 Orono No. 278 <br />Osaeo No. 279 Richfield No. 280 Robbinsdale No. 281 St. Louis Park No. 283 Wayzata No. 284 Brooklyn Center No. 286
