Mr. lessen clarified that all of the <br />land surrounding the buildings was acquired by Mr. Blanch. Mr. <br />Blanch has given back to the Foundation a right of refusal on a <br />stipulated length of time. The subdivision would create a 5 acre <br />parcel, cn which the Institute is situated, so that it may be <br />conveyed to the University of Minnesota. <br />It was moved by CounciImember Callahan, seconded by <br />Councilmembr Nettles, to adopt Resolution #2611, approving the <br />Registered Land Survey for the Freshwater Fo^'ndation, subject to <br />the conditions set forth therein.

It was originally <br />considered in 1986 by the Council for an addition to the primary <br />structure. At that time, variances were granted, but in order to <br />maintain hardcover percentages, a detached garage was to be <br />removed. The Palms had asked the Council to reconsider removal <br />of the garage and the Council denied that request, but granted an <br />extension of time in which to comply. The Palms have submitted a <br />revised plan, removing alternate hardcover so that the detached <br />garage may remain. However, the proposal does not decrease the <br />hardcover to the required percentage. At their March 20, 1989 <br />meeting, the Planning Commission reviewed the revised proposal <br />and recommended denial . <br />Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator Gaffron
