wages as he was not able to get his truck started since he hadn't been able to
plug it in at home. He also stated that not everyone was receiving citations for
their trucks.
Mayor Pickar replied that he had talked to the Police Chief, who stated that the
City was being patrolled and citations issued to violators but that it was possible
that not all trucks were parked when the patrols were made, and thus would not have
received a citation yet.
Jim Allen, 7943 Greenfield stated that he believed the ordinance should be reworded
to include privately owned trucks and asked if any action would he taken on the
ordinance.
Mayor Pickar replied that if the Council members wished to, the issue could be dis-
cussed again, and that notice would be published as to when it would be discussed.

Mayor Pickar recessed the general meeting and opened the public hearing on Crown
Auto.
CROWN AUTO COMMERCIAL EXPANSION CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Doug James introduced himself as the landlord for Crown Auto and stated that they
would like to add two bays to the operation, which would require a conditional use
permit.
Councilmember Rowley asked if the cars would be allowed to park in front. Mr. James
replied that the area was not designated as a parking area but that it was hard to
keep the customers from parking there, but that they could install no parking signs
to help keep the customers from parking in the front.
Administrator Achen reported that Crown Auto would be adding two service bays, an
additional dumpster and additional curbing if the conditional use permit request
was approved.
Mayor Pickar asked if there were any anticipated problems with the number of parking
spaces. Mr. James replied that they did not anticipate problems and that Official
Rose had taken a survey and found there to be ample parking.
Councilmember Ziebarth expressed concern that there would not be enough parking spaces
for the number of stalls, and he also expressed concern that the last parking stall
on the south was too close to the moving traffic and that injury could occur if some-
one in that stall was opening their car door as a car was driving through, and
recommended that curbing of some type be put in to provide a buffer.
Mr. James replied that the driveway was amply wide and they did not anticipate any
problems with the last parking stall. He also added that putting in curbing might
present more problems.
Mayor Pickar read from the Planning Commission minutes of November 9, 1977 and noted
that they had approved the request, with stipulations that concrete curbing be required
along all paved lines and on the striped no- parking area across from the outdoor
storage, and that a screening fence be continued along the north property line, a
minimum of 6' high and opaque, and a screen a minimum of 6' high for the dumpster
and outdoor storage and that a development agreement be executed to cover that and
screening along the west property line, and striping and labeling of the no- parking
area in front of the building, except where the parking spaces are indicated. The
Planning Commission recommended that a conditional use permit be issued for the
variance of 10 parking spaces and for the 12' rear yard setback, and a variance of
3' for the parking side yard setback, if the above stipulations were met.
Councilmember Ziebarth asked if the owner of the R -1 property directly to the north
of Crown Auto had been notified of the addition. Mr. James replied that he had and
that the additional fencing would actually be to his benefit as it would provide more
screening and a noise barrier.
MSP Pickar- Hodges) to approve the revision of the Conditional Use Permit to include
the recommendations from the Planning Commission's November 9, 1977 minutes and
include a traffic divider on the west side of the building. 4 ayes
Mayor Pickar closed the public hearing on Crown Auto and opened the public hearing
for Dailey Knolls.
January 9, 1978 Page 5
DAILEY KNOLLS PRELIMINARY PLAT
Howard Thorson introduced himself as the representative of Dailey Knolls and stated
that they were requesting to subdivide the east one halves of lots 8 and 9, Spring
Lake Park Knolls Addition, into three equal 88' frontage lots fronting on Silver Lake
Road.
Engineer Hubbard pointed out that the services were not in yet on Silver Lake Road
but they had been petitioned for.
Administrator Achen pointed out that the land will be developed eventually and ser-
vices would be requested, and they would be extremely long ones if they came out to
Groveland.
Attorney Meyers pointed out that a public hearing had not been held yet to determine
what the people in the area really wanted.
George Payne, 2740 Laport Drive stated that he had put earnest money down on the
property at County Road I and Silver Lake Road and would be requesting services soon.
Attorney Meyers pointed out that 35 percent or more of the property owners would have
to petition for services before a public hearing would be held.
Mr. Thorson stated that he would find out who the rest of the property owners were
in the area and would contact them regarding a petition.
Mayor Pickar pointed out that in the past it has been the City's policy to deny lots
of substandard size, even though the lots in question had the necessary square footage
requirements.
Councilmember Ziebarth pointed out that lot number 4 was noted as 36,712 square feet
while it actually should have been 26,712.
Administrator Achen recommended that if the Council approve the variance for the
frontage requirement that it not allow a variance for the sideyard setback.
Mr. Thorson stated that he could possibly acquire additional land from the adjacent
property owner to cut down on his 12' frontage shortage.
Mayor Pickar questioned if the whole matter would have to go back to the Planning
Commission if Mr. Thorson did acquire additional frontage. Attorney Meyers replied
that the other property owner would have to get approval to split off his property.
Administrator Achen stated that it could be handled as a consolidated effort and
costs could be minimized. He also recommended that the Council either table the
matter and allow the applicant and anyone else interested the opportunity to
discuss the issue as far as putting services down Silver Lake Road, or just set a
hearing and invite everyone in to discuss it.
MSP (Pickar-Rowley) to table any action and set an informational meeting for 9:00 PM
on February 13, 1978 and direct the City Administrator to notify the property
owners of the hearing. 4 ayes
Mayor Pickar closed the public hearing and reopened the general meeting.
January 9, 1978 Page 6
WALTER SKIBA RETIREMENT
Mayor Pickar read Resolution #883 regarding Walter Skiba and his retirement from the
City after nearly 20 years of service. Mayor Pickar and all the Council Members
thanked Wally for his service to the City.
MSP (Pickar Ziebarth) to pass Resolution #883 for Walter Skiba. 4 ayes
ADMINISTRATOR ACHEN'S REPORT
Administrator Achen requested that an acting mayor be appointed for 1978.
MSP (Pickar Rowley) to appoint Donald Hodges as acting mayor for 1978. 3ayes
Hodges abstained
Administrator Achen reported that he and Mayor Pickar had met with representatives
from the North Suburban Chamber of Commerce and discussed what the Chamber might do
to assist the City in promoting industrial development in the community. The
possibility of city membership in the Chamber was discussed also. The Council had
previously authorized city membership in the Mounds View Businessmen's Association
which is now defunct. Administrator Achen recommended that Council authorize
city membership in the North Suburban Chamber of Commerce, with an annual fee of $75,
which would be appropriated from the 1978 contingency.
MSP (Hodges Zieharth) to approve the expenditure of $75 for city membership in the
North Suburban Chamber of Commerce. 4 ayes
Administrator Achen stated that Mid American Auto had not had their information
prepared in time for the meeting but that it should be ready for the next agenda
session.
Administrator Achen reported that the Fire Department had just distributed stickers
to all the elementary schools with their new number, 427 -1212, which is through Anoka
Central Dispatching. He also stated that the stickers were misleading in that they
indicated that all emergency calls should go to that same number, whereas Mounds View
has another number for emergencies other than fire, and recommended that new stickers
be printed up.
Councilmember Rowley suggested that the information could be put on the sign board
outside City Hall.
ATTORNEY MEYERS REPORT
Attorney Meyers reported that he had spoken to the City Attorney for North Oaks, who
had reviewed the Youth Service Bureau Joint Powers Agreement and decided that the
agreement could be extended without the individual City's approval. The North Oaks
attorney wrote a letter to the Youth Service Bureau statingthatNorth Oaks did not
want to be bound by that. The New Brighton City Attorney also agrees with that and
has written a letter to the Youth Service Bureau also. Attorney Meyers stated that
he would prefer to see the contrat amended rather than just writing a letter.
MSP (Hodges Ziebarth) to direct the City Attorney to write a letter to the Youth
Service Bureau stating that Mounds View does not want to be bound by extensions
without their approval. 4 ayes
January 9, 1978 Page 7
Attorney Meyers reported that the City had been served with a motion for temporcry
injunction and a summons complaint regarding the truck parking ordinance and that
the temporary injunction was to stop enforcement but that the Court ruled in the
City's favor, so the Police Chief has been directed to issue citations.
Attorney Meyers reported that in.the James Refrigeration special permit case, the
Council was ordered to have depositions taken and that a clarification hearing
will be held on February 2nd to determine if they must take them.
Attorney Meyers reported that a citation was issued against one of the liquor establish-
ments in Mounds View for a violation by a dancer and that the defense attorney pointed
out that the owner was not on the premises at the time, so a new citation may have to
be issued to the manager who was on duty at the time. Attorney Meyers asked the
Council if they would like the matter pursued criminally or administratively. Mayor
Pickar replied that the Council would consider the matter and get back to him.
ENGINEER HUBBARD'S REPORT
Engineer Hubbard had no report.
COUNCILMEMBER HODGES REPORT
Councilmember Hodges reported that the Lions Club had returned a truck they had
borrowed from the City.
COUNCILMEMBER ROWLEY'S REPORT
Councilmember Rowley reported that the Lakeside Park Commission would not have a
quorum for the January 12 meeting, so it would be postponed until the next month.
However, the Commission desires input from the Mounds View City Council regarding
the Council's ideas on reorganization of the park operations.
COUNCILMEMBER ZIEBARTH'S REPORT
Councilmember Ziebarth reported that he has not had his report typed yet but will
have it ready soon.
MAYOR PICKAR'S REPORT
Mayor Pickar reported that he had visited the Spring Lake Park Community Center
during their open house and was impressed.
Mayor Pickar reported that the Appreciation Dinner is tentatively set for either
April 8 or April 29, and Administrator Achen reported that he would check on the
actual date of the 20th anniversary for the committee planning the dinner.
