Conversation got a little more controversial than usual during the Oct. 18 Scandia City Council meeting when the council debated the question of approving a conditional use permit and annual operating permit for the Gacek Rural Event Facility, at 12680 Scandia Trail N.
The issuance of the permits, applied for by owners Jeff and Julie Gacek in August, had been debated previously by the Scandia City Planning Commission at its Oct. 4 meeting. The Gaceks’ plan had been approved unanimously by the commission and sent to the council for consideration. The resolution included several requirements to be met by the Gaceks for their operating and conditional use permits, including a limit of 150 people at events, only 75 events per year, no outdoor sound amplification for parties before or after ceremonies, and more.
Council Member Robert Hegland was concerned about how the Gacek application was handled by the Planning Commission
