Mounds View Planning Commission July 2, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Zwirn asked when. Director Ericson indicated that the ticket was issued over the weekend and was sent over in Monday’s mail. Commissioner Zwirn asked what happens next. Director Ericson indicated that Mr. Farrell does not feel he should put up the other end fence and, if the City Council does not amend the previous Resolution of approval the matter will end up in the court system. Commissioner Zwirn commented that he did not appreciate someone coming into the City and telling the City that they are not going to comply and forcing the City to go to court. Director Ericson agreed Mr. Farrell is not being cooperative. Commissioner Zwirn indicated that by not listening to the conditions and abiding by them he is telling the City he will not comply and making the City go to court. He then asked if the City has to go to court or if he does as the neighbor to the south. Director Ericson indicated that when someone chooses not to comply with an enforcement issue then City is forced to go to court. Commissioner Zwirn asked if it was the City’s intent to pursue this. Director Ericson indicated that the City is required to pursue it. Commissioner Zwirn commented that approving this variance would mean there would only be a two-foot boulevard on Greenfield. Director Ericson clarified that there would be a two-foot setback but there is still 17 feet of greenspace prior to the pavement Commissioner Zwirn indicated there is not that much space and suggested someone go out there with a tape and measure it. Commissioner Miller commented that Mr. Farrell indicates he wants to work with the City but did not show up at this meeting and asked why. Commissioner Zwirn indicated that he says he wants to be a good neighbor but his actions do not show that to be true.
