UNAPPROVED <br /> 1 Mounds View City Council Page Sixteen <br /> 2 Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 <br /> 3 <br /> 4 <br /> 5 MOTION/SECOND: Wuori/Blanchard to Adopt Resolution No. 4600 Approving the Outdoor <br /> 6 Recreation Grant Proposal for Park Acquisition and Development <br /> 7 <br /> 8 Councilmember Trude stated this had to be discussed and was totally shocked about the number of <br /> 9 people against a park. Trude stated that a City could control a park but not another's private <br /> 10 property. Trude stated that one-third of the owners of the property in the area are in attendance and <br /> 11 are opposed to the park. Trude stated that she visits the parks to meet other families. Trude stated <br /> 12 if the neighbor-hood doesn't want it the money shouldn't be spent there. The Council needs to <br /> 13 discuss and deliberate on this item. <br /> 14 <br /> 15 Councilmember Blanchard stated that these people in the area are opposed to the park development <br /> 16 and is wondering about the future of the park in the City. There is no park in the southwest <br /> 17 section. This item has come up quickly as there are time constraints on the grant and if the grant <br /> 18 is not received the park development is a moot point and if it is passed up at this time is the <br /> 19 Council doing what is right for the entire City of Mounds View. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Councilmember Wuori stated that the City Council is responsible for serving the broad community. <br /> 22 Children need something to do and should be given good opportunities. Wuori stated that the <br /> 23 Council has the opportunity to share funding to provide something for the <br /> 24 community but it is hard to be.told to be good stewards and not provide something good for the <br /> 25 community. <br /> 26 <br /> 2 7 Councilmember Trude stated her concern for the homeowners of the park land who would be impacted <br /> 28 and those persons haven't spoke for or against the park. <br /> 29 <br /> 30 Mayor Linke stated that he normally looks for the NIMBY syndrome, and a lot of what he has <br /> 31 heard not in my backyard and it is okay to have the park elsewhere but not by mine. Normally <br /> 32 takes NIMBY situation and looks at what is going on for best of commnity and this time he will <br /> 33 vote for the NIMBY'S and let them face the consequences. Linke stated he will go with what is being <br /> 34 said and stated that neighborhoods turnover and persons may buy the house because there is a park nearby <br /> 35 but there won't be a park and he feels sorry for the NIMBY's. <br /> 36 <br /> 37 Councilmember Trude stated that in her area people take pride in park and make it beautiful. <br /> 38 People adopt the parks and call them neighborhood parks and identify their neighborhoods with a <br /> 39 park. In Minneapolis people are drawn into the community by the parks situation. Trude stated <br /> 40 that this property could be made into a housing development and this vacant land cannot be <br /> 41 controlled if it isn't owned by you. <br /> 42 <br /> 4 3 Councilmember Blanchard stated that she believes that this is an opportunity that shouldn't be <br /> 44 passed up for the entire community. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 Councilmember Trude needs more discussion. <br /> 1 <br />
