Page 5 Apri128, 1997 Mounds View City Council AP~~~~L~ Thomas Budzynski, TJB Homes, 2704 Highway 10, stated in 1987 he built his business and in the process, had water brought to his property from Silver Lake Road At that time, there were properly owners between himself and Silver Lake Road who were unhappy about having to pay for their share of the water. To avoid the time involved in a Special Assessment Hearing, he assumed the cost himself, however he was told by the City Administrator said that anytime anyone would hookup to that water line, the city would insure that he would be reimbursed for the cost of putting the water line in. (He believes the cost was approximately $6,300 per property.) He wanted to make sure that the city was aware of the situation and wants to be sure that he is reimbursed for that expense if the development proceeds as prol?o~ Mr. Whiting noted that this is not a standard way of completing a public improvement. Mayor McCarty stated the council would receive his comments as a part of the Public Hearing and would have staff investigate fiuther. George Winikky, 2732-2740 Highway 10, stated in 1987 he talked with city staff about this very issue. He was left with a compelling feeling that he would have to pay for the cost of the water line if he hooked up to it. Mike Black, of Royal Oaks Realty, a representative of the development team was present and introduced all • parties involved in the development project. He stated they understand that in the council's consideration of the PUD Concept Plan, the city is not locking into any specific detailed plan and noted that more detail will be done at the development stage. He would like to request that the City Council consider the first option Ms. Sheldon outlined. He stated they would work diligently on addressing the issues of concerns expressed by the city to bring forth a project that the city would be proud of. Mayor McCarty asked if they could respond to all of the city's concerns by May 18th if the council were to adopt Option # 1. Mr. Black stated he believed this could be done. Dan Moon, 6929 Pleasant View Drive, stated he is not sure that this plan would fit into the future plans for Highway 10. He has some concern with the proposed gas station. He would much rather see a business park development than a development whose occupants would provide only minimum wage jobs. With no fiuther comments, Mayor McCarty closed the Public Hearing at 8:26 p.m. COUNCIL BUSINESS• D.

Council member Trude asked if a Wetland Delineation has been done on the property. Mr. Black noted that two Wetland Delineation's have been done, the most recent was done in 1992. However a third delineation could be done as a part of the development stage. Council member Trude asked if they have looked at the 100 year water mark for the proposed underground • parking facility. Mr. Black stated this has been looked at in a very general way and that it would be looked at more thoroughly at the development stage.
