Mounds View City Council May 23, 1983 <br />Regular Meeting Page five <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />,� Attorney Meyers advised that if the Council has been <br />fully informed of the development, it would be per- <br />mitted to now have the developer give his side of <br />the proposal, <br />Larry Malmin and Richard Van Sickle, of Van Sickle, <br />Allan, reviewed the proposed development, showing the <br />blueprint of the project. <br />Mayor McCarty asked if any study had been done on the <br />potential impact of value for the existing home owners, <br />and asked if the developer would be willing to indem- <br />nify the City against lawsuits from home owners. <br />Mr. Malmin stated he was not certain if any study had <br />been done, and that while he could not speak for the <br />developer, he did not feel he would be willing to <br />indemnify the City against lawsuits. <br />Mr. O'Neil stated that he had noticed at the four plex <br />across the street that the people park on the street, <br />rather than in the parking lot, which creates a <br />problem. It was also noted that these renters have <br />as many possessions as home owners, such as boats <br />and trailers and campers and so forth, which they <br />must find some place to park, as well as a place for <br />their cars. It was also noted that their garages are <br />often used totally for storage, rather than the parking <br />of vehicles. <br />Ms. Warren stated the Planning Commission takes into <br />consideration the amount of green space available <br />for snow storage. <br />Mr. Johnson stated he was concerned with traffic and <br />the impact of the vehicles to be parked. He stated <br />he did not feel the minimum requirements were <br />sufficient. <br />Ms. Olson stated she did not feel the 8 trees shown <br />on the blueprint were sufficient for buffering the <br />residential area. Mr. Van Sickle stated lie believed <br />the developer would be willing to put more trees in <br />if it was felt they were needed. <br />The resident who has the wood pile on the developers <br />land stated lie would be willing to move the pile <br />upon request. <br />Ernie Gustafson, owner of the property in question, <br />stated that in dealing with the developer, they <br />had discussed how to screen the residents, and had <br />proposed a 6' redwood fence, as well as other options. <br />
