Ms Heake stated you just want this snace available it the need ovor /°~ arises. If the airport is gone, it could be back to 1-2 zoning. ~ ) Wa planned it so thet we did not put industry next to residential, sticking it rigt;± next to us is nat helping. Mr Schranz assured her that Mounds View would have input into any- thing Bleine does. He knows that thay ara concerned about traffic.
