February 24, 1997 App Mounds View City Council , Ms.Pam Sheldon explained that this amendment would allow homes that are governed under the Department of Human Services and under the Department of Corrections could have up to eight children. A second reading and action on this Ordinance amendment would be scheduled for March 10, 1997.

Mayor McCarty opened the Public Hearing at 7:45 p.m. • Jim Ericson,Planning Associate,explained that this would allow for the operation of an outdoor flower mart in the parking lot of Mounds View Square. Linder's was issued CUPS for the 1995 and 1996 growing season and no changes are proposed to the location,layout and operation from previous years. Mr.Ericson explained the agreed upon deposits and charges for water service. He noted that the following conditions would be a part of the Conditional Use Permit: 1) the facility shall be allowed to operate from March 15, 1997 to July 15, 1997; 2) the hours of operation shall not exceed 8:00 am.to 9:00 p.m.; 3) only the signage shown on the Greenhouse Design Plan shall be allowed;and 4) all lighting for the use shall be supplied by existing parking lot lighting and supplemental interior lighting,if needed. David Jahnke,8428 Eastwood Road,asked how the$1.00 per day water charge was derived. Mr.Ericson explained that this figure was established by the Public Works Department,based upon the amount used in past years. Lynn Gustafson,(no address given),asked if Linder's would be doing any fertilization in the greenhouse. She noted that the State Agricultural Department requires back flow prevention devices so that the fertilizer doesn't go back into the water system. Jim Ericson agreed to check on this matter. Bob Long,City Attorney,suggested that a"hold harmless agreement"be entered into as well with Linder's for the use of the city's water system. Mayor McCarty closed the Public Hearing at 7:50 p.m.
