Present: Mayor Neisen Councilman Hodges Councilman Johnson Councilman Baumgartner Councilman Pickar MSP (Hodges Neisen) To approve the minutes of June 26, 1972. Residents Requests and Comments from the floor Ronald Varnes, 7350 Silver Lake Road presented a petition signed by approximately 400 or 500 persons requesting a semiphore at the intersection of Silver Lake Road and County Road H2. Attached was a page which noted various related facts about the intersection. Mayor Neisen read a letter from Chief Grabowski which summarized his meeting with Mr. Chenoweth, the Ramsey County Highway Safety Director. Mr. Chenoweth stated the County may install four -way stop signs at the intersection, however semiphores were out of the question. He estimated the total cost for constructing semiphores at that intersection to be approximately $50,000.00., Mayor Neisen stated that the petition would be submitted to Ramsey County and the residents could expect a response, hopefully, by the next regular Council meeting. Duane Syveraor., 8365 Groveland Road asked the Council if there was an area that dead trees and branches could be disposed of. Fire Chief Fagerstrom, upon instruc- tion from the Council was to investigate the possibility of Mounds View residents using the site designated in Blaine and the possibility of using an area on the Minar property. He stated he would report back to the Council by the July 24th meeting. Gerald Skelly, 7095 Knollwood Drive presented a petition for a stop sign on Knollwood Drive at Woodale Drive. The petition was referred to the Police Department for their study and recommendation. Harry Gum, 7805 Greenwood requested that the backstop on Hillview Park be relocated approximately 300 feet East of its present location. He stated that the Hillview and Greenwood intersection is made hazardous because of the backstops present placement. Cars now park on Hillview Road up to the stop sign and prohibit clear vision of the intersection for many drivers. Councilman Baumgartner stated that the request would be taken up at the next Recreation Committee meeting. Robert Glazer, 2375 Hillview asked if the Twin City Speedway hours of operation have been increased past 10:00 P.M. Mayor Neisen explained that the speedway was in Blaine and Mounds View had no jurisdiction. However, the Clerks Office would call Blaine and inquire as to the speedway's hours of operation. Mr. Glazer also inquired as to whether any response on the Century Motor Freight terminal has been received from the PCA. Clerk Zylla read the letter that was sent to PCA with a copy of the Special Use Permit and plot plan.

Council discussion center on whether approval of the plat reflected approval of any construction plans, whether improvements could be petitioned for if the preliminary plat wa. not approved, the fact that building permits could not be taken out if the preliminary plat was not approved and generally whether Mr. Harstad was pleenning on presenting further information on the area that is designated for his townhouse proposal. Mayor Neisen stated that the Council could delay any approval on his final plat until all construction plans and layouts have been presented and accepted by the Planning Commission and Council without creating undue hardship on the developer.

Robert Glazer commented that Mounds View is not attracting industries or businesses to the Village which is providing employment opportunities or adding to the attractiveness of the Village. Mayor Neisen added that as long as property is properly zoned the Village can do little to prevent a type of business from being constructed there. To do so, would be illegal.
