• Mounds View Planning Commission January 7, 1998 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> makes no sense. <br /> Commissioner Brooks answered no to the first question. She voiced her opinion in favor <br /> of the ring road concept. <br /> Commissioner Stevenson said he wanted more studies on the possibilities of a second <br /> access; whether or not it ended up on Long Lake Road is another issue. He said the ring <br /> road is not a priority for the theater development. <br /> Chairperson Peterson said that the connection to Long Lake Road is not necessary. He <br /> added if there was to be a connection that the distances involved wouldn't necessarily help <br /> much because you end up with a long, long access that create traffic backups. He said the <br /> ring road concept plan is a possibility but more information is needed to make a good <br /> decision regarding this issue. He added his tendency at this point is that the ring road is <br /> not the best way to deal with the traffic problems on Highway 10. <br /> Commissioner Miller told the Commissioners that she feels that an access to Long Lake <br /> is not necessary to make the theater project work. She said that because of the wetland <br /> mitigation issues she is not in favor of the ring road. <br /> • Commissioner Obert said as long as the developer has agreed to proceed without a <br /> traffic light at Highway 10 it is the developer's business. He said he feels Highway 10 <br /> divides the City and if the ring road would help solve this problem he would be in favor of <br /> it. <br /> Chairperson Peterson told the Commissioners that after hearing the comments made in <br /> the straw poll that there is a consensus that there is not a need for an access on to Long <br /> Lake Road. The issue of the ring road was not firmly opposed. It was agreed by all that <br /> something needs to be done about Highway 10's traffic problems and this ring road <br /> concept may or may not be the answer. <br /> 5. <br /> Planning Case No. 511-97 <br /> 2535-2585 Highway 10 <br /> Applicant: Linder's Greenhouses, Inc. <br /> Conditional use permit for flower mart. <br /> The applicant, representing Linder's Greenhouses, Inc., was not present. <br /> • Chairperson Peterson asked the staff if there was anything different on this year's <br />
