Mounds View City Council December 14, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Six Councilmember Blanchard stated she was very opposed to another extension, as they have told the citizens that a decision would be made this evening on the preliminary plat. She further stated she agreed with Mayor Linke that a 30 day extension was not enough time to review all the new data submitted, and the changes made. She added that Barr Engineering was very rushed to do their initial report in 45 days. Councilmembers Quick and Wuori stated they both agreed with the comments made by Mayor Linke and Councilmember Blanchard. Councilmember Blanchard asked Mr. Senden if the Army Corps of Engineers had rescinded their approval. Mr. Senden replied they had, however, they should be able to grant a new approval within 20 days. He also pointed out to the Council that very few preliminary plats are submitted that do not change a great deal, and that it is a working process to get everything in order. He also pointed out the final plat can change. Mr. Senden stated that Barr Engineering has all the data, so it should not take them long to submit their findings in writing. Mayor Linke pointed out the preliminary plat has changed considerably and would require time to look at all the changes. Mr. Senden stated Barr is familiar with the new plat, and most of the changes were based on recor_imendations they had made. He added there is no reason to cut this off before everything has been reviewed. Jim Sandidge, 7817 Bona Road, stated none of the citizens have had an opportunity to review the changes made, and he recommended the developer submit a com- pletely new proposal. He emphasized how this proposed development will impact where they live, and the City itself, and he read a letter received by Mr. Ayaz from the Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District, stating they believe they have been misrepresented by the developer, and they have never taken a position or given an approval to this development. Mr. Senden explained their contact with the Ramsey Soil and Water Conservation District had been on -site, where they agreed to the staking of the boundries by the Corps of Engineering, and nothing had been submitted to them as their approval was not required. Mayor Linke read a memo from Clerk /Administrator Pauley to the Council, dated D ^•comber regarding the letter from the Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District.
