��1��11•L I <br />MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development <br />DATE: April 29, 1985 <br />SUBJECT: M. H. ANDERSON CONSTRUCTION CO. - MINOR SUBDIVISION <br />Today, Mr. Varns and Mrs. Crosby met with Don Pauley and myself <br />to discuss the subject development. We explained that the <br />development, as proposed, meets all City Codes and that all the <br />proper procedures have been followed to date. <br />On April 22, 1985, the City Council conducted a public hearing tc <br />consider the request of the developer, M. H. Anderson <br />Construction Co., for a conditional use permit for flood plain <br />excavation, flood plain use permit and a minor subdivision. on <br />the same evening, the City Council had another hearing on <br />Ordinance No. 388 amending Chapter 48 of. the Mounds View <br />Municipal Code by redelineating a land boundary on the wetland <br />zoning district map for this minor subdivision. The City Council <br />had the first reading of the ordinance on April 22, 1985 and has <br />the second reading of the ordinance scheduled for May 13, 1985. <br />Mr. Varns and Mrs. Crosby were adamant that their land was going <br />r to be flooded because of this development. We explained that the <br />developer is planning to provide compensating storage for the <br />fill he is placing in the flood plain. In other words, he will <br />excavate the back yard and fill in the front yard. The <br />excavation in the back yard will be such that there will not be a <br />pond there when the excavation is complete. The back yard will <br />still slope away from the house to the back yard. They seem to <br />be worried that if a pond is installed in the back yard of the <br />minor subdivision, their land will eventually fall into the <br />pond. I wish to assure you that a pond is not proposed for the <br />back yard and one will not be installed. Therefore, I do not <br />understand the objection to this minor subdivision. We also <br />asked them to provide a letter stating their objections to the <br />subdivision. <br />Attached is a copy of a map indicating location of Mr. Varns' and <br />Mrs. Crobsy's residences. Mr. Varns' lives at 7350 Silver Lake <br />Road and Mrs. Crosby lives at 7344 Silver Lake Road. <br />They stated in our meeting that they will bring their neighbors <br />to the May 61 1985, Council Meeting. <br />SWT/bc <br />
