Mounds View City Council August 26, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 8 . Council Member Quick asked Staff to bring the development agreement back before Council and then asked that Council Member Marty's comments be added to the agreement. Council Member Marty thanked the Jacobs for the willingness to work with the City. Director Ericson read the change to the Resolution to include the requirement for City Forester review. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomas. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5825, a Resolution Approving a Development Review for the Jake's Sports Cafe Expansion Project. Council Member Stigney commented that plan to have additional parking is well needed but the plan of where to put the parking is what he disagrees with. He then said this was a PUD and Mr. Wendell was going to build two office buildings but only built the first one. Council Member Stigney indicated he understood the need for parking but he feels it could have been shifted somewhere else and the office building should have been built there as that would have brought in a lot more taxes than the parking lot. He further indicated he did not have anything against the need for the parking but this is how he feels. Ayes - 4 Nays - 1(Stigney). Motion carried. • 2.

To Waive the Reading, and Introduce the First Reading of Ordinance 702, an Ordinance to Rezone Lot 2, Block 1, Anthony Properties Addition from Planned Unit Development (PUD) to Highway Business (B-3). Council Member Stigney reiterated that he thinks the City should follow the original plan to have an office building there for more taxes. Council Member Marty commented that the original office building stayed vacant for a year or two until they finally got a tenant and that was one of the gauges to see how the project would proceed. He also indicated that the Jacobs attempted to approach Anthony Properties on other parcels but they would only sell this one.
