Mounds View City Council March 10, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 12 1 Council Member Stigney indicated that he does not feel a rush because the City has not found out 2 about the grant yet. 3 4 Council agreed to add the roundtable discussion for the April work session. 5 6 Interim Clerk Administrator Ericson suggested that a temporary moratorium of two or three 7 months would not be enough time. Mayor Marty indicated that he would like to see a six-month 8 moratorium, which would drop off if the DEED grant is not received. 9 10 Council Member Flaherty indicated that he is against the moratorium because the owner of the 11 property has a buyer and, this will chase that buyer away. Council Member Mueller agreed. 12 13 Council discussed the moratorium, how a moratorium could affect the property owner and any 14 potential or pending sale, and whether or not the City should purchase the Roberts property to 15 ensure that it becomes part of the redevelopment area. 16 17 Council Member Stigney said that, if, the developer has a specific request to allow time, then he 18 would consider it but not at this time without a specific situation in place. 19 20 Consensus was that there would be no moratorium at this time. 21 22 Council Member Mueller asked for the grand opening date for Totino’s restaurant.
