Mounds View City Council June 26, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Eleven -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr.Buckingham stated he feels there are property rights of the people in the area to consider, for the quiet enjoyment of their property. Attorney Karney explained that in order to have a property right in something, there must be an ownership interest. The residents do not have ownership of the road, and there will not be any residential property taken, and there is already a road there. Attorney Karney also advised that in terms of legal notice, the Council has met all responsibilities for legal notice, and gone beyond that. There is no requirement for notice until a road is actually planned to be built. P~layor Hankner stated the Comp Plan went through all kinds of public hearings in 1980, and notice was given then. It was up to the residents to liik into it to see how it inv°olved them. She also made reference to a 2 page memo listing the dates the Council discussed the project. The demographics.-of tl~ie ,__ City are changing, with turnover occurring more every five years. She added this Council has done everything they can think of to inform the residents of what is happening,-and notice has been given 't hat the Comp Plan is being updated, and it is the responsibility of the residents to look into and see how it effects them. Mr. Buckingham asked if trucks could be restricted if Woodale was not an MSA street. Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated he believed so, but would have to check with Mr. Minetor. He added the road would be built to 9 ton, as they do with all roads now, as they last much longer. He also pointed out a notice had been put in the City newsletter, in the Council Corner, which reports on upcoming issues, and this item was mentioned specifically. Public Works Director Minetor joined the meeting at 9:24 PM. Ms. Lexxon stated she would Iike the street to remain the way it was when she moved in, and that any extension or improvement would devalue her property. Bill Ross, 5200 Greenfield, asked if the proper boulevard would be restored if the street does go through.
