Mounds View City Council October 8, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated the former public works director had said it was prudent to do <br />sewer and water at this time so the City would not have to tear up the streets to repair something. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre asked how the issue of parking was phrased on the survey. <br /> <br />Mr. Peters clarified that the survey asked residents on the south side of H2 if they wished to have <br />parking as the City was considering it in various locations. <br /> <br />Mr. Peters indicated that the City and residents could discuss and determine where parking would <br />be allowed. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas asked if there was any way to determine from the survey what area <br />wants parking and what area does not. <br /> <br />Mr. Peters indicated the survey was done by address. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick questioned whether it was in the best interest of the City to have parking <br />along the entire length of H2. <br /> <br />Mr. Peters indicated that some of the properties have deep driveways and do not need parking on <br />the street. <br /> <br />Ron Morgan of 2656 County Road H2 noted that in hearing the responses to the survey he is very <br />concerned because his comments relative to parking were not expressed. He then indicated that <br />another person also made comments and he did not see them. <br /> <br />Mr. Morgan indicated he lives in the townhouses across from Scotland Green which is compact <br />housing with three lanes out to H2. He then said he thinks it is bizarre that the City would allow <br />parking in that section. <br /> <br />Bill Rice of 2932 County Road H2 asked if his petition for no parking between Knollwood and <br />the Fridley line was still being considered. <br /> <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated Council would consider it when making a decision about parking. <br /> <br />Mr. Rice indicated it would be difficult to see when pulling out of his driveway if there were <br />parking on the street. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas indicated the City could approve the reconstruction and get the process <br />moving while discussing the specifics of where to allow parking. <br /> <br />Mr. Rice indicated he was against any overlay that does not have curb and gutter as it needs to be <br />done. <br />
