Mounds View City Council November 24, 2014 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause supported Option A or B for Groveland Road. He did not see the <br />need for parking on both sides of the street. He wanted to see the Council taking steps towards a <br />more walkable community. He discussed the expense of adding the second parking lane. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull agreed with Council Member Gunn and Council Member Meehlhause. He <br />stated that the speed on Groveland Road has been a concern for years. He expressed his <br />frustration again, that only 44% of the residents had responded to the City survey. He liked the <br />idea of a sidewalk along this roadway and for this reason, he supported Option A or B. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller appreciated the opinions discussed by the residents present and found <br />value in their comments. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty appreciated the comments from residents, the recommendation of staff, along <br />with the Streets Committee and Park and Recreation Commission input. He reported that the <br />final decision rested with the City Council. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull reiterated that the Park and Recreation Commission, along with City staff <br />recommended Option A for the non-standard street design of Groveland Road. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 2 Nays – 3 (Gunn, Hull and Meehlhause) Motion failed. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8329, <br />Approving Option B for a Non-Standard Street Design and Parking Restrictions for Groveland <br />Road Between County Road 10 and County Road J. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller discussed Option B and asked if this layout was the same as Hillview. <br />Public Works Director DeBar stated this was the case and noted the roadway would be widened <br />by three feet. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 2 Nays – 3 (Flaherty, Hull and Mueller) Motion failed. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hull/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8329, <br />Approving Option A for a Non-Standard Street Design and Parking Restrictions for Groveland <br />Road Between County Road 10 and County Road J. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller requested Option B be reconsidered. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty recommended the Council vote on the motion on the floor first. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller believed that Option B was a better option for her friends and <br />neighbors than Option A. <br />
