Mounds View City Council August 12, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 13 <br />Mr. Harstad of 2195 Silver Lake Road, New Brighton indicated he has shown every willingness <br />to compromise and has met with residents, Staff, the Mayor and done everything asked of him by <br />the City. He then said that he has 66 boxes and his request had been for someone to provide a <br />suggestion as to what he could do with his boxes and no one has been able to do so. He further <br />stated that to say he is unwilling to compromise is an unfair statement. <br />Mr. Morgan of 2656 West County Road H2 addressed Council and reaffirmed his position and <br />the position of the other property owners he represents. <br />Mr. Morgan indicated he had written a letter and given it to the Mayor, Council Members and <br />Staff. He then read the last paragraph. <br />Mr. Morgan said there are ways to do something with the property that is acceptable to all <br />involved and then said that the residents oppose the change to R-3. <br />Director Ericson indicated Council took a vote on some language and pointed out some other <br />language under Item 2 that maybe of concern. <br />Council Member Thomas indicated she was fine with that language. <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />• <br />C. Resolution 5813, a Resolution Authorizing the Preparation and Acquisition of <br />Easements for the County H2 Street Project. <br />Public Works Director Lee explained that County Road H2 has a fairly narrow right-of--way for a <br />collector street and explained that it would be necessary to obtain temporary easements to allow <br />the contractor to go onto private property. He then explained it would also be necessary to obtain <br />two permanent easements to accommodate the proposed trailway. <br />Council Member Thomas indicated that the Staff report had given her the impression that Jake's <br />was only willing to grant an easement if their request is approved. <br />Public Works Director Lee indicated that was not the intent of the Staff report as Jake's has been <br />willing to work with the City and has not suggested their willingness to approve the easement <br />hinged on approval of their project. He then said, however, it would obviously help negotiations <br />regarding the easement if the plan was approved. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Quick. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5813, A <br />Resolution Authorizing the Preparation and Acquisition of Easements for the County H2 Street <br />Project. <br />Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 <br />Motion carried. <br />• <br />
