Acting Mayor Koopmeiners stated he believes this is 11 governed by both the city and State. 12 13 A resident at 8475 Eastwood Road,stated she just recently found out about the Silver Lake Commons project 14 and feels this is the case for many in her area. She noted how two similar proposals in the cities of Maple 15 Grove and Blaine were denied by their City Councils after residents strongly protested. 16 17 William Werner,2765 Sherwood Road,stated Commissioners seem to take a very narrow view in making 18 recommendations to the Council. He asked if the it would be possible for the Mayor to provide descriptions as 19 to the responsibilities for members of the various commissions. 20 .21 Cameron Obert,8315 Greenwood Drive,stated the Planning Commission does a lot of the investigative work 22 for the City Council. The commissioners help to do the background work and serve as an advisory to the City 23 Council.

Therefore,his advise to the Council and staff is to take time to 25 thoroughly research this development proposal before they make a final decision. 26 27 PUBLIC BEARINGS: 28 29 Public Hearing and Consideration of the transfer of the off-sale intoxicating liquor license for Murzyn 30 Liquors,2840 Highway 10 to Chou Yang. 31 32 Acting Mayor Koopmeiners opened the Public Hearing at 7:50 p.m. 33 34 Mr.Whiting explained that Chou Vang is purchasing Murzyn Liquors and is therefore requesting that the 35 liquor license be transferred into his name.
