Mounds View City Council March 14, 1988 Regular Meeting Page Four Councilmember Blanchard stated she felt they were getting a good deal of negative comments from people in the area, and she questioned whether the City should buy property with the idea that maybe someday they might change their minds. Councilmember Quick stated he knows that someday there will be development in that area, and if the City does not buy the lot, it would be like slamming the door shut. He noted there is a 12 inch water main under Groveland and they could set up a loop system for services. He added he agrees any action should be postponed to a time certain, and he also feels that in consideration of good planning principles, the City must buy the lot. Councilmember Wuori stated she also believes in good planning practices but questioned whether the Council should gamble on whether it would be developed in the future. Mr. Gross noted that if the property is purchased, it will have a value at any given date in the future, and could be sold again, most likely for a profit.
