Mounds View City Council Apri128, 2003 Regular Meeting Page 5 • Interim City Administrator Ericson indicated he was not notified and clarified that he had made it very clear to residents that they needed to call him with any parking issues and he was not called. Council Member Quick indicated he would like to make a motion to table this approval until the parking situation is resolved. Interim City Administrator Ericson said he appreciated the concern and said it is a good idea and may be a way to get the parking situation resolved more quickly he does not think it would but be fair to hold Landcor over a barrel on their approval because of an unrelated situation that they have no control over. He then said that something does need to be done with regard to the parking but he does not think that holding up development would be prudent. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. Council Member Stigney indicated he agreed with Council Member Quick and further commented that he has no interest in amending the PUD as the original intent was for a sit down restaurant and that is what he would like to see there. He further commented that the request sounds innocent enough but once the amendment is made they will approach the City for a drive through type of restaurant along with the office building and he has no interest in any more drive through restaurants. Council Member Marty indicated he felt the City had enough drive through restaurants and fast food. He then said that it would be nice to have a medical office building that possibly housed an urgent care facility. He further commented that he is not sure the need for the office building is there because the first one sat vacant for a number of years. Mayor Linke commented that the City, as part of the PUD, could make it a medical office building. Council Member Quick indicated he would like a plan for who would be in the building. Council Member Stigney said his concern is that they want to move in a fast food restaurant at the same time. Council Member Marty commented that Mr. Backman does a great job and asked if he could work with the developer to market the building for medical uses. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Table Approval of Resolution 5997. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Mayor Linke asked Staff to watch the 60-day time frame and make sure the matter comes to Council before the expiration of the 60 days and to let the developer know why the matter was tabled.
