Mounds View City Council July 22, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Two Director Thatcher introduced Bob Wuornos and Zack Johnson, from Wuornos and Associates, the firm that has been retained to do the review of Districts 6 and 12 of the Comp Plan. Mr. Wuornos outlined the areas they have been asked to study and explained the procedure they are follow- ing and what their findings have been to date. He also read into the minutes petitions that had been received regarding the review and suggestions for the area. Mayor Linke explained the Council is not anticipating doing any rezoning at this time. They are working to bring the Comp Plan and zoning map into compliance, and they are gathering information at this point. James Trimbo, 7880 Groveland, stated he had bought his home 16 years ago, and a request was submitted to the City at that time to zone some of the property commercial, and it was turned down and multiple family dwellings built. He stated he has had nothing but trouble with the multiple dwellings and would rather see commercial. Linda Bankston, 8025 Groveland Road, stated she would like to see the area stay quiet and would like to see low density residential and not large apartment buildings. Jim Gable, 7934 Fairchild, stated he was not opposed to R -2, but they must leave a buffer between the residential and commercial areas, and would favor having that area as R -2. Jon Thomas, 8040 Groveland, asked for a clarification of what a special use is. Director Thatcher explained what permitted uses are for B -3 zoning, and what would be allowed under it. Attorney Meyers pointed out that the K -Gas was zoned B -3 before the City became incorporated in 1953. Jerry Blanchard, 8005 Groveland, stated he finds it hard to believe the City can move backwards, and they should stay away from strip zoning. He stated he objects to the fact that a meeting was held specifically for the businesses and did not include the residents.
