Mounds View City Council March 27, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />Ms. Smith asked what had become of the memorials that were placed on the corner of Edgewood <br />Drive and County Road 10. She indicated the flowers and crosses have all been removed, and <br />she did not feel this was appropriate. <br /> <br />City Administrator Whiting advised that no one from the City had removed those memorial <br />items. <br /> <br />Ms. Smith stated it was previously indicated that the speed of the driver was 38 miles per hour, <br />and this was not correct. She explained that the State Patrol has not yet completed their <br />investigation, and the speed of the driver has not been determined. She stated the Monday <br />following the accident, someone had indicated the drug and alcohol tests were negative, and this <br />was also incorrect. She stated the alcohol test has come back, however, the drug test has not, and <br />she was not aware where this information had come from. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin stated all official requests for information with regard to the accident are being <br />handled by the State Patrol, and until they have completed their investigation, that information <br />has not been made public. He indicated that Ms. Smith could contact the State Patrol regarding a <br />time line for completion of the report, and they would probably take her name. He advised that <br />they would be responsible for the dissemination of that information. <br /> <br />There were no further requests or comments from the floor. <br /> <br />10. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Public Hearing for the Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 655, an <br />Ordinance Rezoning Bridges Golf Course Parcels from CRP and I-1 to PF. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:39 p.m. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated Ordinance 655 is an ordinance rezoning the golf course from <br />designations of Industrial and Conservancy, Recreation and Preservation, to a more appropriate <br />Public Facilities District, which is a zoning district the City uses for all of its parks, and in which <br />golf courses are permitted. He advised that in no other zoning district in the City are golf courses <br />a permitted use. He stated staff discovered this by chance, when reviewing the application for <br />the interim use permit for billboards at the golf course, and there was some thought that the <br />rezoning of the golf course had taken place a number of years ago, however, this was not the <br />case. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated in light of this, staff has drafted Ordinance 655, which <br />effectuates this change in zoning to the golf course. He indicated this item was reviewed by the <br />City Council, which held first reading at their March 14 meeting, and this item is the second <br />reading and public hearing of the ordinance. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated this is a fairly straightforward rezoning. He explained that <br />there are a number of parcels involved, and those parcels are identified in the ordinance by their <br />existing zoning designation. He stated all of the parcels associated with the Bridges Golf Course <br />would be rezoned to the Public Facilities zoning designation.
