Mounds View City Council Octcber 13, 1986 Regular Meeting Page Six Mayor Linke stated that if the development goes a 50/50 mix of office and warehouse space, it would reduce the anticipated traffic flow to and from the area. Kay Radlinger, 2199 County Road H2, stated she can live with the proposed project, but she is concerned about access onto County Road H2, as there are children on Quincy all hours of the day and she does not feel there is a good time for the traffic to go up Quincy at all. She added she does not feel the truckers will obey the signs, prohibiting truck traffic. Mayor Linke replied there are three proposed stop signs to be placed between County Road H2 and County Road I on Quincy, which should significantly slow the traffic. Duane Nelson, 5459 Quincy, stated the people on Quincy were told a few years ago there would be no exit from the development onto County Road H2. Susan Mitchell, 5493 Quincy, stated she does not care how many more cars are projected, she has five children crossing the street all day, and she does not want the traffic. Betty Wahl, 5425 Quincy, stated she was promised by Steve Thatcher that the development would not be allowed access onto County Road H2. She added she does not want to see an increase in traffic Andrew Hume, 5316 Quincy, presented a petition to the Council of about 100 signatures, regarding access onto County Road T:2 and traffic on Quincy. He stated he has two daughters who walk to school, and the sidewalks are not cleared during the winter, and the children end up walking in the street. Wally Johnson, 2287 Cour._y Road H2, stated he was repre- senting his mother at that address. He stated she is not necessarily against the development but he feels it could be done without access onto County Road H2 or using Quincy, and he does not feel the setbacks are wide enough, or the berms high enough. He suggested cutting down on the square footage, to improve the parking situation, and getting access through the vacant property southeast of them, coming off the exit ramp. Mayor Linke explained JLN does not own the property southeast of them, and it is tied up in litigation. He also stated he doubts MnDOT would agree to them tying into the exit ramp. Councilmember Hankner stated they must keep in mind the health, safety and welfare, in wanting to close off access to County Road H2.
