Mounds View City Council June 12, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Twelve -------------------------------------------------------------------------- • Mr. White asked if Woodale did not go through, whether it would prevent any other aspect of the project. Mr. Nelson replied it would not. Ms. Weisman expressed concern about the trail system and pond for the wetland, and stated she would like to hear an opinion from the Audition Society. She also suggested a fund be established for maintenance of the pond in the future. Mayor Hankner pointed out it is School District property. Ms. Alman asked if the Environmental Quality Task Force has finished the wetland inventory. Mr. Minetor replied they are still working on their goals. and objectives, and they have not undertaken any additional inventory of the wetlands. Mr. Nelson reviewed the history of Everest Development. Their principal owner has been in business since the early 1970's, and he reviewed local projects they have done. They presently manage 1.3 million s.f. of office and warehouse space and are a $30 million per year company. • Ms. Lexon stated there were many young children in the neighborhood, and she is concerned about her child playing out on the road or going unsupervised to the pond. Mr. Nelson explained there is presently a 6-10' drop along the property line, and while they will be putting in a retaining wall, they will not be increasing the drop. Councilmember Quick pointed out there is more than enough. water in the wetland now to drown an adult. Mr. Flatten stated he felt this. was being slid under the rug. Mayor Hankner again stated notices were sent to the residents.. Clerk/Administrator Pauley added tat they were sent to the entire area, not just within the 350' guide- line. Mayor Hankner stated the Council has tried to hold infor- mational meetings from the very beginning on this project, as they did on the Sysco project, and the Council and Planning Commission operated on the assumption that the residents were paying attention, which they were not. She added the Council will take all comments into considera- tion over the next two weeks.
