IIMounds View City Council Page Thirteen <br /> I Regular Meeting July 25, 1994 <br /> made. If Mr. Belisle decides at any time before an agreement were <br /> reached, it's a moot point. At the present time the City has a willing <br /> seller and a willing buyer at this time. <br /> Ms. Hanson stated that the Council does not have any right putting a park <br /> in an area where the residents don't want one. <br /> Mayor Linke stated he is 110% in wanting to have a park in that area. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that the City's philosophy is not to expand the park <br /> but to build small neighborhood parks. <br /> Ms. Hanson stated that Silver View Park is beautiful but it is not <br /> accessible. <br /> Ms. Hanson asked the Council to consider their feelings. Ms. Hanson <br /> asked for a show of hands of those who disagreed with a park being put in <br /> at that location. <br /> Councilmember Trude asked the size of Hanson's lot. Mr. Belisle owns the <br /> park directly west of Ms. Hanson's property. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that Mr. Belisle's property is between Hanson's land <br /> and the park. <br /> • Roy Smith, 3016 Woodale Drive, stated that once his family and <br /> surrounding families are raised and there was no park and now they want <br /> to put a park in. <br /> Mayor Linke explained that the property was not available at that time. <br /> Mr. Smith stated he is opposed to the park because of noise. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that he lives near a big park in the City and does <br /> not see the noise problem. <br /> Mr. Smith stated he now can't retire there because of the park -- <br /> Mayor Linke asked if Mr. Smith wanted a park when he was raising his kids <br /> but Mr. Smith stated he had a big yard and didn't need a park. <br /> Mr. Larson stated again that the residents were opposed to the park. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that the Council is looking at the first step which <br /> is getting the grant. <br /> Mr. Larson stated that it is almost like the budget hearing where this <br /> is a done deal. Mr. Larson stated it can be stopped now and what <br /> the people are saying is that we appreciate your telling us about <br /> IIIthe park but we don't want the park. Mr. Larson stated that the park <br /> is not needed. <br />
