AEr Vr L: ij Mounds View City Council Page 5 illRegular Meeting October 24, 1994 Commission. Since that didn't happen, the Charter Commission would either have to call a special meeting or have the members write letters of pro or con in the Newsletter under a disclaimer that it did not reflect the position of the Charter Commission. There would be two articles, one on the pro side and one on the con side. Councilmember Trude indicated that the members of the Charter Commission felt it was important to inform the public of the two positions that were taken before this proposal is voted on. This is something people in the City are going to face on the ballot that no one is facing in any other city in the state. She felt that the people in the City of Mounds View are very interested in hearing the opposing sides and have a right to be informed. McCarty expressed his approval to write two letters to the editor of the newspapers, but was concerned about setting a precedent by allowing letters to the editor in the official Newsletter. Linke commented that this would be a means of informing the public on both sides of this issue. He views it as an informative piece rather than an editorial, and explained that the purpose of the 1111 Newsletter is to inform the residents. Mayor Linke asked if there was anyone else who would like to speak to the Council.

The request is for Development Plan Review, Rezoning and Major Subdivision. This item was discussed in detail at the October 3 , 1994 City Council Work Session. At that time several issues were resolved. The Preliminary Plat was approved by the City Council at the October 10, 1994 meeting and Ordinance No. 549 was introduced which would rezone properties included in the development from their current B-3 status to Planned Unit Development. The rezoning is consistent with other properties that are currently located in the Business Park and allow for the 4111 location of the building in the configuration that was decided upon
