BONA ROAD DEVELOPMENT <br />Mr Harstad requested the Council again look into the issue of development of Bona Rd <br />between County Road I and Hillview, specifically Greenfield Plat 3. He stated that <br />it is his intention to build only split entries in the area, which would not experience <br />any water problems. All basement elevations would be higher than the existing house <br />on Lot 5, which is the lowest on Bona Road. <br />Mayor Pickar stated that development would increase drainage problems for the other <br />residents already located in the area. Mr Harstad replied that it was his experience <br />that the more buildings that were put on property, the more the water table drops, <br />not rises. He stated that if there would be a problem then storm sewers should be <br />put in. <br />Mr Harstad reminded the Council that he is paying taxes on improved lots, but he <br />cannot build on them, and that he has been waiting for two years for the approval <br />to build. <br />Councilmember Rowley recommended that Mr Harstad be put on the agenda of a future <br />Council meeting, allowing the Staff time to gather information of this issue. <br />Mr Harstad stated he would like to sit down with Bannister -Short and a representative <br />from the City of Mounds View to work out the problem. <br />MSP (Rowley - Ziebarth) to table discussion on the Bona Road development until the June <br />27 Council meeting, and the Staff and Mr Harstad prepare the necessary information <br />before that meeting. 4 Ayes <br />SALE OF POP BY MESSIAH LUTHERAN CHURCH SOFTBALL TEAM - TRANSIENT MERCHANT LICENSE <br />Administrator Achen reported that he had received a request from Lyle Groth of the <br />Messiah Lutheran softball team for removal of the fee of $25 for selling soft drinks <br />at their softball games.
