Mounds View Planning Commission June 19, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Both bodies made representations to me that my concerns would be addressed. Mr. Mezzenga <br />even agreed to certain conditions imposed by this Commission and the Council. However, this is <br />not the case. <br /> <br />Mr. Mezzenga has left the scene, sold the property with several conditions not addressed and not <br />even brought to the attention of the new owners. <br /> <br />This has imposed upon me the added frustration and inconvenience to notify staff and deal with <br />bureaucratic delays. <br /> <br />Although I don’t mind working with staff on these matters I’m sure they are sufficiently <br />occupied with other projects. <br /> <br />I’m not of the nature to be easily pacified by the political niceties and politically correct answers <br />I get along with the numerous delays. <br /> <br />This Commission and the City Council owes it to the citizens of Mounds View to deal with <br />contractors of this ilk by imposing strict outlines of development with imposing penalties and <br />fines or suspensions if not adhered to. Inspections must be made and conditions checked off <br />before a contractor is released from his obligations. <br /> <br />This evening we are to decide on a similar matter and by their own testimony citizens have been <br />subjected to similar situations of contractor abandonment and government bureaucratic red tape <br />over a frustratingly long 10-year period. <br /> <br />I will not sit here and tolerate this facade of government. We must do a better job of monitoring <br />the development and protecting and representing the citizens of Mounds View. <br /> <br />Therefore, I implore you to be cautious with your vote. <br />____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />4.
