- 4- <br />Highway #10. Mr. Newman replied that there was not. The original proposal <br />did have 10 exits, but since Highway Department approval has not been granted <br />to date, the exits were excluded from the plan. He said that they are <br />attempting to get two exits on Highway #10. <br />Mr. Kahlhamer, 7745 Eastwood Road stated that the corner of Eastwood Road and <br />Highway #10 is overloaded already. <br />Ole Bacon, 2265 Highway #10 stated you will continually find areas where <br />traffic increases and he felt Mounds View needs this facility. <br />Edward Paster of Paster Enterprises stated that the center was seeking the <br />best clients and that it was not just another shopping center. That the <br />building would be an asset to the community and that the costs to service the <br />building with municipal services would be far out - weighed by the tax advantage <br />that the Village and school district would obtain. <br />Mayor Neisen closed the hearing to the public at 9:08 P.M. <br />Councilman Pickar asked about the lighting affect on residential property. Mr. <br />Newman replied that there would be some reflection on the homes, but it will <br />be limited. In reply to Mr. Pickar's questions on shrubbery, Mr. Newman stated <br />that if they planted junipers the size would be between 1 and 12 feet high and <br />if they planted evergreens they would be between 4 and 5 feet high. Every <br />attempt would be made to comply with the zoning ordinance. <br />Councilman Pickar commented that if the center is built, the intersection of <br />I and Long Lake Road would in all probability meet the minimum traffic warrants <br />and a signal at those intersections would be likely. <br />Councilman Baumgartner asked if the restaurant was moved from a previous plan. <br />Mr. Newman replied that originally it was set in the northwest corner of the <br />property, but they felt that it would blend in better on the southeast corner <br />since the property across the street was commercial. <br />Mr. Newman also informed Councilman Baumgartner that Paster Enterprises requires <br />daily waste pick -up. Councilman Baumgartner said that if traffic on Greenwood <br />Drive is a concern the Council could post it to prohibit truck traffic. Mr. <br />Paster added that the center management may stipulate that only certain roads <br />be used. <br />Councilman Baumgartner agreed with Councilman Pickar that after surveys on Long <br />Lake Road and County Road I are completed, the intersections may be classified <br />for a semaphore. <br />Councilman Johnson asked if there was parking in the back of the stores. Mr. <br />Newman replied that there was parking along I and some spaces along Long Lake <br />Road for employees only. Mr. Newman said that there was 47 to 50 feet from <br />the buffer zone to the back of the store along County Road I and 65 to 95 feet <br />from the buffer zone to the back of the store on Long Lake Road. There was <br />no central delivery area. There would be no public entrances in the rear of <br />the building. <br />On questions from Councilman Johnson, Mr. Newman said that trash would either <br />be inside the store or kept in two to three cubic yard containers in a screened <br />area; the containers would be locked. <br />
