Mounds View City Council June 26, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 11 Stan Meyer, 2812 Sherwood Road, asked which neighbors they have talked to and if there are any conflicts of interest between the builders and the Council Members. He asked whom the developers have approached. Mayor Marty said he wanted to ask what property owners were approached, particularly since one property owner said they were not approached. He said that currently, they are discussing potentially rezoning, and that it is not moving forward at this point. Councilmember Gunn asked if the Council could put it on to the work session and do some homework, where it could be discussed in-depth, rather than during the Council meetings. Ms. Meyer said he does not want to have to come back again, and that he has made it clear that they do not want it to be rezoned. IIe said that there was already a house torn down, Bourassa replied it was not part of their property. Mayor Marty asked if the issue could be put on the August work session, but Community Development Director Ericson urged the Council to not draw the discussion out longer than necessary. He said the residents do not want to keep coming back. He said that if the Council feels certain things need to come back to them, they could request it, but urged the Council to not put it off further. IIe said the developer would like to have a decision one way or another. Mayor Marty asked if the development will be 2-story units, Brouassa replied they will be 1.5 — 2 stories. Mayor Marty asked the Council if they wanted to discuss it at the next work session, and Councilmember Stigney replied he wants to see what the developers are proposing. Mr. Meyer said that as long as a road is not built, he would be okay with the Development. Director Ericson said that the developers would have to come back to the City with their plan for roads and anything that deviated significantly from the original plan would probably not be approved. IIe explained that this is a rezoning request, and that the developers would still have to go through a couple steps before any development would be approved. IIe said that it is clear that the residents do not want a street on that corner. IIe said that the Planning Commission would like a more comprehensive development on the area and if the other property is included in the plan, there could be a street. Mr. Meyer asked the Council if they could make an immediate decision regarding the road and the Council replied they would not be making any decisions. Councilmember Thomas said that if the Council decides to rezone, there must be a specific purpose and she would like to have a better idea about what they would see if it were to be rezoned. She said she would like to know the best use for the area.
