MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL Regular Meeting <br />PAGE 3 May 27, 1980 <br />Forslund stated she voted NAY because she under- <br />stood the tax exempt financing was made available <br />to entice industry into the community. She does <br />not feel Mounds View has to be competitive in this <br />area. <br />McCarty stated he voted NAY because the balance <br />sheets were not audited and because, at present, <br />Council does not have any guidelines for approval <br />of these projects. He felt this should be addressed <br />by the Council as soon as possible since it actually <br />was lending the credit reputation of the city. He <br />also stated that this was no reflection on the <br />Wolf and Associates proposal. <br />The public hearing opened at 8:11 P.M. <br />Comments: <br />Tom J. Johnson, 8025 Red Oak Drive, referred <br />Council to a map which indicated that the third <br />and fourth houses north of his residence had <br />setbacks which would match his proposed setback. <br />He is appealing to Council because his proposal <br />is similar to those particular houses and also <br />because the Planning Commission (5 -5 -80) could <br />not agree on the actual interpretation of <br />Code Section 40.05 Subd. C. <br />Peg Mountin, 8287 Red Oak Drive, stated she did <br />not feel it was the Planning Commission or the <br />City Council's intent to create a Code which could <br />not be applicable to every resident. She, therefore, <br />asked Council for their remarks on the original <br />intent of the Code so the Planning Commission could <br />have their input. <br />Cindy Winum, 8028 Red Oak Drive, indicated she <br />lives directly across from Tom Johnson and that <br />she approves of his request. She also expressed <br />frustration with the differing interpretations of <br />Codes from different(previous) Councils. <br />Dean Krogh, 8060 Red Oak Drive and Don Swanson, <br />8039 Red Oak Drive, both indicated their approval <br />of Tom Johnson's request (neighbors of Mr. Johnson). <br />Sharon McCarthy,7760 Long Lake Rd.,felt that more <br />requests of this type would be coming in and that <br />the rights of the citizens to develop their property, <br />as well as the right of present citizens, not to <br />have a neighbor destroy their property vw.ues, <br />needed to he protected by the Council and Mayor. <br />The regular meeting closed for the public hearing. <br />7.
