Mounds View City Council September 11, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin indicated the delay may be caused by the question of the legality of <br />disseminating a complete mailing list. He told Mr. Lamm a copy of the list would be provided if <br />it is legal to do so. <br /> <br />Michelle Sandback of 2356 Sherwood Road asked if the City has looked at the fair market value <br />of the land that the pond may go on. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin said the City is not yet far enough along to have researched the fair market value <br />of the proposed ponding area. He indicated if the project moves forward, as a part of the process, <br />a fair market value will be determined for the land. <br /> <br />Ms. Sandback indicated MNDOT does not have an appraisal for the land and that is why they are <br />not getting a sound wall. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin indicated MNDOT will allow placement of an earthen berm on their right of <br />way. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty pointed out the earth for the berm will come out of the area where the <br />pond is, if the ponding project is approved. He said he understands the frustration of the <br />residents and will look into getting the confusion cleared up. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin said he will let residents know via e-mail and public forums if the City can get <br />something decided yet this year on the sound wall issue. <br /> <br />Wayne Bebard of 2348 Sherwood Road said he came to the meeting to let the Council know that <br />the sound quality on the tape at home is very poor and he had to come to the meeting in order to <br />hear it. <br /> <br />Doris Helman of 3034 Ardmore Avenue said she had intended to watch the Council meeting but <br />the sound quality was so poor she came to the meeting and arrived late so she asked the Council <br />to tell her what Commissioner Bennett said when he spoke before the Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin recalled the discussion between the Council and Commissioner Bennett <br />regarding the issues that Resolution 5474 covers. <br /> <br />There was no further resident input. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty said he had spoken to Commissioner Bennett on the telephone about <br />lowering the speed limit and he had also spoken to Community Development Director Jopke <br />about it who indicated he was doing research on the City level to lower the speed limit. <br /> <br />10.
