Mounds View Planning Commission February 18, 1998 • Special Meeting Page 4 Chairperson Peterson asked if there is a unified front on the Anoka County Airport Development. Mr. Morrish said there would be problems, this being one of the major ones for this Coalition Group. It is the challenge to the group to solve the problem so that all participants can get some benefit from the development. Commissioner Obert stated the Coalition would be a good opportunity for the communities to apply some needed pressure on the Met Council as a way to get the ball rolling on some projects. Warren Johnson, 7710 Greenwood, asked who chose Mounds View as a pilot area for the Coalition program. Mr. Morrish told Johnson the Mayor and city administrators were already working together, and the Mayors Association had been formative in getting the City of Mounds View involved in the process. • 5.

At that time a 20-foot variance was applied for and granted to deal with the property's 80-foot width and the City's 100-foot-frontage requirement. On January 30, 1998, the EDA sold the property to Preferred Builders. As part of the purchase agreement Preferred Builders was required to build a minimum three bedroom, two bathroom home with an attached two car garage. The home proposed by Preferred Builders meets all of the City's requirements with the exception that the house is 7 feet • wider than the code allows. This width difference is due to the house having a three car attached garage instead of a two car attached garage. The owner is asking for a 7-foot variance to resolve the problem.
