CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR JERRY ROSS TO BUILD AN ENGINE HOUSE
Mr. Michael Ross of Dakota Rail explained the need for an engine house for the
purpose of storing diesel locomotives and presented pictures of the proposed
structure to be located at Erie Street and Second Avenue Southeast. Alderman
Torgerson commented that Jerry Ross, owner of the Hutchinson trackage, preferred
to build an engine house outside the city limits. It was further pointed out
that the Planning Commission approved the concept contingent upon the applicant
providing a survey showing existing and proposed building sites on the property
prior to issuance of a building permit. Mr. Ross stated it was very probable
that Dakota Rail would wait until spring to build the engine house at another
site inasmuch as they were able to temporarily store the locomotives in a build-
ing owned by a private party.
Following discussion, Alderman Torgerson moved to approve the request for a con-
ditional use permit. The motion failed for lack of a second. No action was
taken, and the item was deferred to the January 14, 1986 Council meeting for
additional information.

31, 1985.
After discussion, Alderman Mikulecky moved to approve the final Resolution No.
8176 for industrial revenue bonds for Erickson Oil Products. Motion seconded by
Alderman Torgerson and unanimously carried.

reading and adopt Resolution No. 8175. Motion unanimously carried.
