• Mounds View Planning Commission December 17, 1997 Special Meeting Page 3 Commissioner Johnston suggested that no specific reference to business type be made other that limited use in the B-2 criteria. Commissioner Brooks stated that she was in favor of not permitting the business to operate because of the impact that this type of business might have on children in the community and the fact that people are not smoking as much as they used to. Commissioner Brasaemle argued that the precedent had already been established for selling tobacco in the business district and that there is no good reason for denying this request.
