m t(D MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR DATE: MARCH 31, 1987 ow SUBJECT: SPRING LAKE PARK COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL As you may recall, the City of Mounds View received a Notice of Public Hearing from the Spring Lake Park Planning Commission regarding a proposal from L. S. Black Constructors for the development of a neighborhood commercial center with self-service gasoline station on the commercial property directly west of the Mounds View City Limits and north of Highway 10. I was contacted by a resident of the City on Pleasantview Drive regarding the proposed development and the concerns he has over this project after attending the March 23rd Public Hearing. As a result of this telephone conversation which led me to believe that there might be some problems with this project as it relates to the existing drainage problem in the area, I reviewed the plans for this development at Spring Lake Park City Hall. After reviewing the plans and the Staff Report on them, I believe it is premature to draw any conclusions regarding the possible exacerbation of existing drainage problems to the fact that the plan did not contain a drainage plan and the Planning Commission tabled further action on the item pending submittal of an acceptable drainage plan by the developer. The Public Hearing was continued to April 13th for consi- deration of this item as well as various other requests for modification made by the City's engineering firm. Information contained in the Spring Lake Park files not regarding the specific project but as it relates to MnDOT's plans to close -off the intersections of 83rd Avenue and Pleasantview Drive with Highway 10 and construct an inter- section in between these two locations, copy of plan attached as Exhibit A, did concern me and I am bringing it before you at this time for your consideration and comment. Review of City files reveals that the last proposal received by the City, copy attached as Exhibit B, called for a modified intersection at Pleasantview Drive and Highway 10 as well as the closure of the 83rd Avenue and Highway 10 intersection. Although there was some opposition to this proposal by residents on Pleasantview Drive no final action was taken by the City with respet to this proposal nor was it requested by MnDOT or the City of Spring Lake Park. Discussions with Spring Lake Park Clerk -Administrator Don Busch, however, indicate that MnDOT has revised their plans for a signalized intersection in this area because, in their words, "The City of Hounds View rejected all previous proposals."
