Mounds View Planning Commission <br />Regular Meeting <br />May 7, 2014 <br />Page 4 <br />Commissioner Elofson recommended the Commission reconsider this request as additional <br />wetland would be lost. <br />Mr. Harstad explained he was trying to work with the City to create a best case scenario and <br />wanted to create a pleasing development for the neighborhood. He discussed the amount of <br />wetland that would remain within the subdivision and believed the proposed subdivision was a <br />great compromise between the amount of woods and wetlands that would remain. He indicated <br />he had rights as a property owner as well. <br />Commissioner Elofson questioned the value of the site once fully developed. <br />Associate Heller anticipated that the value of the 10 lots would be at least $2 million once fully <br />developed. <br />Commissioner Birken inquired where the utilities would be located. <br />Associate Heller noted all utilities would be located along Longview. <br />Commissioner Birken stated she too did not like to see the City's wetlands decreasing. She <br />asked if the pond would be fenced. <br />Mr. Harstad indicated the pond would not be fenced. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Rundle/Commissioner Birken.
