Building Safety Month – Proclamation <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom read a proclamation in full for the record proclaiming May to be Building Safety <br />Month in the City of Mounds View. <br /> <br />7. PUBLIC COMMENT <br /> <br />Vince Meyer, 8380 Spring Lake Road, stated he received a new water meter last Tuesday. He <br />reported he was at home when the worker began the meter installation, but had to leave for work <br />before he finished the work. He explained he allowed the worker to finish the work while he was <br />not at home and when he returned home from work his basement was flooded. He indicated he has <br />been speaking with the Public Works Department in order to get a copy of their insurance but has <br />not received this information to date. He stated he would need compensation for the water <br />extraction, the movement of the soft water tanks, and heated fans used to dry out his basement. It <br />was his understanding the contractor was willing to settle with him for these expenditures. <br /> <br />Mr. Meyer commented on the meeting that would be held on Tuesday, April 23 for the residents <br />on his road. It was his hope that the City sent a letter to all residents on Spring Lake Road. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom explained the Spring Lake Road meeting would be pushed back because a <br />determination has not been made regarding the street. He reported the Council had consensus at <br />their last work session meeting, but there was new information that would be addressed later in <br />this meeting. He indicated letters would be sent to residents when a decision was made by the <br />Council. <br /> <br />8. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />A.

He reviewed the two <br />comments he received from neighbors which had to do with barking dogs, coyotes and proper yard <br />maintenance. He commented on the request further and recommended the Council hold a public <br />hearing and approve the request. <br /> <br />Mayor Lindstrom opened the public hearing at 6:20 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked how far the coop would be from the lot lines. <br /> <br />Peter Weston Miller, 2933 County Road H2, explained he would be happy to provide this <br />information to the City. He commented on the fence that was installed in his backyard noting it <br />was one foot from the property line. He indicated he would be following all rules and regulations
