He feels this is the best type of land use for the <br /> 3 property. <br /> 4 <br /> 5 Dan Hill, 2808 Bronson Drive, stated his concern is in the degradation of the lot <br /> 6 sizes. The existing properties are deep lots which have been particularly <br /> 7 attractive to residents. He was concerned what would happen to the values of <br /> 8 those properties where the lots are basically cut in half. <br /> 9 <br /> 10 Mayor Linke explained that in comparison to other lots in Mounds View, they <br /> 11 still will be larger than most. <br /> 12 <br /> 13 Mr. Hill also asked what assurance the residents will have that the properties <br /> 14 do not become rental units in the future. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Mayor Linke explained that the city does not have control over that. <br /> 17 <br /> 18 Another unidentified resident stated he has been told that the property directly <br /> 19 across from Mr. Hill has been sold. He wondered if Mr. Beach intends to put <br /> 20 in a cul-de-sac there. <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Mayor Linke explained that any proposals such as that would need to be <br /> 23 approved by the city. <br /> 24 <br /> 25 Mr. Beach stated he has put a down payment on the property but it has not <br /> 26 been closed on. He intends to fix the property up and then sell it. He does <br /> 27 not intend to keep it as rental property. <br /> 28 <br /> 29 Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 8:20 p.m. <br /> 30 <br /> 31 Mayor Linke explained that this public hearing was to introduce the ordinance. <br /> 32 The city must then wait at least 14 days before they can ask for the adoption of <br /> 33 the ordinance. There is then a 30 day waiting period before that action <br /> 34 becomes law. <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Ms. Hankner noted that the real issue is that this proposal fits within the city's <br /> 37 Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 38 <br /> 39 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Quick to Approve the Introduction of Ordinance No. <br /> 40 569, Rezoning a Portion of Lots 10 and 11, Spring Lake Park Knolls Addition. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br />
