Mounds View City Council January 2, 2018 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />Bill Urbanski, 2367 Sherwood Road, provided the Council with a folder that had copies of letters <br />from concerned Mounds View residents. He spoke to the Council regarding the INH <br />development noting he was opposed. He did not support the City having a gun shop and <br />shooting range in a residential neighborhood and less than one-half mile from Edgewood Middle <br />School. He encouraged the Council to consider the unintended consequences of having a gun <br />range at this location. He commented on the draft preliminary site plan and understood that TIF <br />was being proposed for the INH development. He discussed how an economic downturn could <br />impact property taxes in Mounds View and stated he did not want to see a gun club constructed <br />with no market rate apartments. He commented on the Arden Hills Rice Creek Commons <br />development and recommended Phase I of the INH development include market rate apartments. <br />He encouraged the Council to review the letters within his handout and thanked the Council for <br />their time. <br /> <br />Kenneth Glidden, 5240 Edgewood Drive, stated he lived six houses down from the Crossroad <br />Pointe site. He explained this was the third meeting he has attended and noted he has concerns <br />with why this development was being pursued. He asked why the Council was considering a gun <br />club as part of this development. He indicated this was a prime piece of real estate that should <br />stand on its own merit. He stated he was bothered by how other communities viewed Mounds <br />View but noted he was proud to live in this City. He encouraged the Council to work to improve <br />the image of the City. He stated he was troubled by the fact the City Council was pursuing a <br />development that could cast the City in a bad light. He recommended the City Council wait to <br />develop this site until another option came along. He anticipated this property would become <br />more desirable after TCAAP begins to develop. <br /> <br />8. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS <br /> A.
