Mounds View City Council May 29, 1984 Regular Meeting Page Six Robert Buetel, Chairman of the Energy Commission, commented that he had a report to give. He stated that the Commission met on May 19, 1984. They set a number of goals and established programs and activities. He stated that items will be brought to the Council at a later date for specific action and that he would be reporting regularly. Mayor McCarty closed the regular meeting and opened the next public hearing at 8:47 p.m. Robert Balch, representing the developer, briefly explained the environmental changes relating to the request and turned it over to the engineer repre- senting the owners. The engineer from Short Elliott Hendrickson reviewed existing and proposed zoning. He explained that the proposed development would generate less traffic over commercial and light industrial mixes and anticipated a lesser strain on the water and sewer system. He indicated that they are proposing a 2 -phase development: (1) dedication of right -of- way for connecting street, and; (2) construction of Raymond, median cut, and any other utilities that may have to be built along the way. He then reviewed the berming plans that were presented as a third phase. Mayor McCarty asked what effect the bermino would have for adjacent property owners. The engineer explained that they would view basically evergreens offset with shrubs. He added that the berminq was planned so that a person 6' tall standing on a first floor would not be able to see the roof of a 16' warehouse. He pointed out that other factors that might lessen the impact is the sound- proofing as a result of the slope, the setback requirement for each building, the location of the truck doors on the south side of the buildings, the types of buildings (office warehouse, wholesalers, etc.) and the fact that the City has its own code for landscaping around buildings. ''ayor 7cCarty asked whether there would be access to Raymond at the culdesac.
