Mounds View City Council November 13, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br />Torri Johnson of 7730 Long Lake Road indicated she had come to the meeting to obtain <br />information concerning the subdivision. She indicated that the subdivision had been pending for <br />six months, she feels that this plan is the best one she has seen so far, and she thinks that it does <br />not negatively impact the neighborhood. <br /> <br />Ms. Johnson expressed concern with the corner lot because it seems to be small and is on a busy <br />intersection that could cause traffic issues.
