Clerk Zylla read the legal notice which was published in the New Brighton Bulletin August 28th and September 4th. Approximately 32 persons were sent legal notices. Joe Strangis, builder, outlined briefly the petitioners request. Mr. Strangis stated that he would build approximately 46 units on the property. Leroy Tower, 1945 Oakwood Drive, would prefer to see the land residential. Charles Larson, developer, spoke in behalf of Jamison Brothers, the owner. He stated that the apartments were the lesser of the two evils. Joe Strangis stated that the individuals in the audience should check the buildings which have been built by him in the Village. Primarily the one located on Silver Lake Road in the 7100 block. That if this would be the case many of the residents apprehensions would be eliminated. John Stoike, 7728 Knollwood Drive, desired information if the driveway would be off of Highway #10 or if traffic would be filtered onto Oakwood Drive. Developer Larson stated that all traffic would go off of Highway #10. Vern Kimble, 1955 Oakwood Drive, also questioned access. Mayor Rustad called for objectors to the proposed rezoning.

In addition the Village election will be held November 4 this year and that anyone interested in being an election judge or counter should also contact him at the Village Hall. Clerk Zylla also noted that Superior 400 had previously discussed requesting the Council to allow them to use the well which they are presently drilling on their sight on 2145 and 2155 Highway Avenue for a period of five years since the water promised under the 68 -3 and 69 -4 projects is not in the immediate area as yet. Clerk Zylla stated that the Health Department supposedly had only granted them a temporary well permit and therefore the previous request for a five year use the well probably does not any longer apply. The Council was of the opinion that the Superior 400 people should connect when water was available. Inspector Skiba stated that when the permits were issued he had written on the permit that the permit to use the well would expire within six months from the time water was available. Councilman Blanchard's Report 6 Councilman Blanchard recommended parking signs be posted by the apartment buildings on County Road I and generally in front of all the apartment buildings in the Village. Council discussion followed in which the Council decided that the Attorney should be authorized to prepare a comprehensive parking ordinance. MSP (Johnson /Blanchard) To authorize Attorney Meyers to prepare a comprehensive parking ordinance for the Village. The ordinance is to possibly include a requirement that owners of apartment buildings put stop signs at the exits of their driveways. Councilman Blanchard also brought up the question on the Lakeside Park and how the area in the vicinity of the pump house needed cleaning. Clerk Zylla was authorized to contact Ramsey County to see if the County would furnish paint for the pump house. Councilman Blanchard stated that his Boy Scouts would consider the refurbishing of the area and the painting of the pump house. Councilman Blanchard also noted that he had received a copy of the Union proposal. Attorney Meyers" Report Attorney Meyers stated that he was meeting with Robert Ehlers tomorrow to prepare the transcript for the sale of the bonds. Attorney Meyers also announced that Commissioners were appointed on Water Improvement Project 1968 -3 on the 29th of August. In addition Meyers stated that he had met with the North Suburban Sanitary Sewer District attorney and the chairman and that they were taking the Mounds View proposals and were having their fiscal agent report on them tomorrow. Engineer Boehm's Report Engineer Boehm stated that he had received the plans for new Highway #10 from the High way Department. However, they will not construct the carrier pipes requested by the Mounds View Village Council unless the pipes are put in and the costs are later billed to the Village. The Village Council feels that they were in fact damaged by the new construction and that if necessary they will not approve the plans for the highway project. Mayor Rusted also stated that the Blaine drainage ditch project may cause the V_;tage to incur greater expense in raising their portions of the ditch in the highway project area and the Engineer should check into the plans to make sure that we will not be damaged in this area also. 4 Ayes Charles Larson, developer, approached the Council to consider requesting the rezoning of Lots 8 and 9 Spring Lake Park Knolls Addition from commerical to R3 multiple dwelling. The Village is in the process of acquiring the West 1/2 of Lot 9 for a well for Project 1968 -3. Mr. Larson stated that if the Council would consider lowering the square footage requirements due to the taking of the W 1/2 of Lot 9 that some type of arrangement might be worked out where the matter would not have to be taken to condemnation. Mr. Larson also stated that he had talked to various residents in the area and that they would rather have the property referred to multiple dwelling than commercial.
