Mounds View City Council July 8, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 14 <br />• Mr. Harstad said he is willing to do that but asked Council not to lose sight of the fact that there <br />have been attempts made that have gone no where. <br />Council Member Marty commented that he was surprised at the small amount of tax being <br />collected on the piece that was sold at Ridge and Long Lake Road before it was improved. He <br />then said he would like Mr. Harstad to work with residents and the townhome owners to come to <br />a resolution on the matter. He further said that it appears that Mr. Harstad has shown a <br />willingness to work with residents to reach resolution. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated he would be honored to facilitate the discussions and suggested setting <br />up a date with no attorneys present for the parties involved to discuss and attempt to resolve the <br />matter. He then said the boxes are not looking good and you need new boxes. <br />Steve Miller asked why single family residential development would not be economically <br />feasible. <br />Mr. Harstad indicated he would need variances from Council to construct single family homes <br />and they would be five feet apart. <br />Mr. Miller indicated there is still the issue of the problem with the association. <br />• Mr. Harstad said he was glad to see that Mr. Morgan has hired legal representation at this point <br />because part of the problem with communication is that he has too much legal representation. <br />Judy Rowley of 2562 Ridge Lane indicated her letter was part of the packet for the June 5, 2002 <br />meeting as well as being on the website. <br />Mayor Sonterre asked that Mr. Harstad call him tomorrow with his dad's answer to why the ditch <br />was not completed. <br />Mayor Sonterre indicated that Mr. Harstad should come to City Hall and make a data practices <br />request to either view or have copies made of the documents he had referenced earlier in the <br />meeting. <br />Council Member Thomas said she did not wish to denigrate Mr. Morgan but said she does not <br />consider the rights of the townhome owners over the rights of the property owner. She then said <br />that she had received calls on this matter and the callers indicated that the proposed boxes do not <br />fit the property any more and should be changed. She further asked Mr. Ericson if option two <br />would allow for townhomes on H2. <br />Director Ericson said yes. <br />Council Member Thomas commented that H2 is to have storm sewer installed with the <br />• reconstruction and commented that would help alleviate drainage issues. She also noted that <br />Rice Creek has said they do not want the storm sewer. <br />
