PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> <br />Bill Urbanski, 2367 Sherwood Road, spoke to the Council regarding a proposed private gun club <br />being located in Mounds View at the Crossroad Pointe development site on Mounds View <br />Boulevard. He explained he taught high school in White Bear Lake for 35 years and was a <br />member of the White Bear Lake Chamber of Commerce. He commented on how the Thursday <br />evening Market Fest initiative has positively impacted local businesses in White Bear Lake. He <br />proposed the City build market rate apartments with first floor retail on the Crossroad Pointe site <br />and not a gun club. He suggested the retail include a bakery, coffee shop and have outdoor <br />seating. He recommended the apartment building be built in a horseshoe shape to allow for a <br />plaza area in the middle which could be used for weekly farmer’s market or art show events. <br /> <br />Jerry Shores, 5079 Eastwood Road, addressed the idea of lead leeching. He anticipated there was <br />more of a lead paint issue in the City in its older housing stock than would be created by the <br />proposed gun club. He believed guns should only be discharged for two reasons in the City of <br />Mounds View, one by Police Officers while carrying out their duty and second in the protection <br />of a person in their home. <br /> <br />Steve Chambers, 2957 Sherwood Place, stated he was shocked the City was considering a gun <br />range on the Crossroads Pointe property. He explained he has spoken to 60 of his neighbors and
