Mounds View EDA September 12, 2005 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />because they are Mounds View citizens. He stated he will not support taking any property <br />through eminent domain or condemnation. Another major hurdle is the need to maintain a <br />compost site because residents have indicated they want and need that service. President Marty <br />noted that Ramsey County was also curious about this and paid for a couple of those questions to <br />clarify that point, and that message from the residents is clear. <br /> <br />President Marty stated that of the two plans, he prefers Scheme A which contains less pavement. <br />He agreed that perhaps the number of homes should be scaled down. However, a development <br />would only work if all residents agreed. He noted the area to the north is an existing pond so it <br />would be difficult to develop senior housing in that location. He thanked the developers for <br />making this presentation and stated it may work if the residents agree to come on board. <br />However, if the residents choose to not sell, then that is the way it will be and they will have to <br />come up with a different plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Sweitzert asked if the current compost site can be vacated if another location in Mounds <br />View can be found. President Marty stated that is a possibility. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman stated as with Hidden Hollow, some folks were <br />not willing to sell and the developer worked around those properties. With that project, there <br />was no eminent domain and it ended up with a good development. He advised that some <br />residents have inquired since that time about additional units. He stated with Laport Meadows <br />the project may not be in this form, and may incorporate current residents. <br /> <br />Cheryl Stinski, Skyline Development, asked for direction from the EDA about contacting the <br />residents. She asked if the City will work with them if a resident does not want to sell or if they <br />should create a development that works around that resident. She stated she thinks that may be <br />problematic and noted that the Hidden Hollow project was not similar to this property, because <br />lots in this area are extremely deep. Ms. Stinski stated some of the roadways may also be <br />problematic. <br /> <br />President Marty suggested they consider gaining access from the south. <br /> <br />Mr. Sweitzert stated he believes a plan can be developed that works on this site and with the <br />residents. He noted that the proposed pedestrian way would be similar to an undeveloped <br />roadway, as currently exists with Laport. He stated he believes it is key to get something of size <br />in the northern area when related to roads and utilities so the ponds can be retained. <br /> <br />Commissioner Flaherty stated the EDA wants to advise all of the stumbling blocks that may be in <br />the way for this to move forward. He noted the dialog on this project is just starting. <br /> <br />Ms. Stinski stated they wanted to know if the EDA was positive or negative about these designs. <br />
