Mounds View City Council November 26, 2012 Regular Meeting Page 12 Mr. Werner then suggested the City work to minimize the depth of the basin encroachment into his yard to reduce the shrub loss in his front yard. He recommended the Council also note for the record their support of a grant to Rice Creek Watershed on his behalf. Council Member Gunn commented the grant would have requirements and only certain plant species would be acceptable. Public Works Director DeBar stated City Staff would have its hands tied if the Council were to approve this recommendation. He estimated a minimum of ten to twelve feet of Mr. Werner's property would be affected. Council Member Mueller questioned if Sherwood Road would be narrowed through the Street Improvement project. Public Works Director DeBar stated Sherwood Road was a standard street and would not be narrowed. He then suggested the basin be relocated away from the bushes to minimize the loss of shrubs. Mr. Werner supported this suggestion so long as the birch tree was not affected. MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Hull.
