Mounds View City Council November 14, 2022 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> <br />Tiffany Alexander-Susens, 5209 O’Connell, explained she learned about the Wooddale Drive <br />proposal in August. Since that time, she has spoken to many neighbors and none supported the <br />proposed development. She commented on the number of apartment buildings in her neighborhood <br />and questioned if the City needed another multi-family development. She feared how her <br />neighborhood would be impacted by an additional 600 residents on a small three acre lot. She <br />believed her quality of life would be adversely impacted by the proposed four-story building. She <br />encouraged the Council to protect her neighborhood and not approve the proposed project at <br />Woodale Drive. <br /> <br />Ron Bakke, 5250 Jeffrey, stated he has been a resident of Mounds View for the past 23 years. He <br />reported he did not see any benefit from the proposed apartment complex. He encouraged the <br />Council to consider how this monstrous building would impact the adjacent neighbors. He <br />indicated the traffic would be horrendous for the neighbors living along Woodale Drive. <br /> <br />Teresa Lexcen, 5229 Jeffery Drive, noted she was a 41 year resident of Mounds View. She <br />discussed how the proposed density on this corner lot was too much for the area. She indicated the <br />corner lot would have two large apartment buildings. She did not believe the proposed <br />development was appropriate given the fact this lot was at the entrance to the City of Mounds <br />View. She recommended a traffic study be completed for this project and asked why the Council <br />was willing to bend the rules for Reuter Walton Development. She questioned why the developer <br />has not held any neighborhood meetings. She believed the Council was not being transparent <br />regarding this project because there was two buildings proposed and not one. <br /> <br />Doug Donley, 5210 O’Connell, stated he had a large picture window on the back of his house and <br />he has enjoyed the view for years. He indicated he would lose the view from his home if the <br />apartment complex were approved. He explained he was not against development, but questioned <br />if this was the right place for the proposed density. He reported he was concerned about traffic and <br />wondered if the schools would be able to take a large number of new students. He stated the subject <br />property was currently zoned single family and he wanted to make sure that the City considered <br />how this project would impact the single family homeowners surrounding this site. He expressed <br />frustration with how the City has kept this project quiet and did not involve the neighbors in the <br />discussions with the developer. <br /> <br />Brian Kaden, 7675 Spring Lake Road, commented on the safety concerns he had regarding the <br />intersection of Spring Lake Road and County Road I. He explained his son was almost hit by a car <br />this morning. He requested the Council reconsider the stop signs at this intersection for safety <br />purposes and asked that “Bus Stop Ahead” signs also be installed. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller stated she would follow up with Mr. Kaden after this meeting to address his <br />concerns. <br /> <br />James Range, 5200 Greenfield Avenue, reported he served in Vietnam and noted all he got out of <br />it was being looked down on. He understood the school just finished up a large addition and <br />explained the site did not have enough parking. He commented on how student parking was <br />impacting his neighborhood. He encouraged the Council to consider how this project would <br />adversely impact the neighborhood and to not offer their support.
