Mounds View Planning Commission June 15 , 1988 Public Meeting Page Three • Peter Sabee, of Barr Engineering, stated that if the intent of the ordinance is to protect the wetland, the amount of stripping is not the key item to be concen- trated on, but rather the existing conditions versus proposed conditions. Mr. Borovsky advised there are two decisions to be made, one being the appropriateness of the procedure, and secondly, the parameters the Planning Commission or City Council determines would be appropriate with the ordinance. City Planner Herman stated Barr is putting their report in writing and it will be given to the Planning Commission prior to their next regular meeting. She also clarified the issue of the temporary injunction Mr. Harstad had sought with the development of Edgewood. Square. Mr. Harstad' s opinion was that he should not have to provide access to his lots, and it should be the City' s role to do so, and because it was not done, he is now claiming a hard- ship. Jim Sandidge , 7817 Bona Road, questioned how much property Mr. Harstad had purchased originally, as he has developed several homes in the area already and it is possible that he could have land-locked himself. He added he felt it Illwas important the City find out. Mr. Merila showed on one of the maps where the land-locked lots are, and where Mr. Harstad has developed homes already. He also stated he has sent Clerk/Administrator Pauley a letter regarding the methodology used to calculate phosporus stripping and requesting that the Walker method be adopted. He added that if Ramsey County Soil and Water Conservation District modifies their report, it would satisfy the ordinance and not require an amendment. .. - - - - - - - - -e e . e . - ordinance. There was discussion on when Mr. Harstad had requested access to the lots that were subsequently land-locked, and when the Eigenheer development was approved. Chairman Mountin clarified that development is essentially approved at the time the preliminary plat is approved. Kathy Ayaz , 7751 Bona Road, asked at what point access was offered to Mr. Harstad, and the opportunity given to him to buy the necessary property. She stated she does not feel there should be a payback now because of this situation from some time ago.
