RESIDENTS REQUESTS COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL Page 2 Fire Chief Fagerstrom spoke in favor of a relocation decision, since upgrading present Hwy. 10 would present problems to the Fire Dept. Henry Crystal, Embers Restaurant; Doug Sinclair, Mounds View Square Association; and Loren Laskowof Northtown Businessmen, spoke for business and felt the decision was not made on current information, and did not consider economic impact. They have hired a consultant, Mr. Dahlgren, to do a study. Suggested the Council request a delay until the consultant has the report. City Administrator Nelson read the letter from MaDOT announcing their decision. City Attorney Meyers read from statute 161.172 as to the amount of authority resting in the Council of cities involved, as well as adjacent cities. Dennis Pietrini, 8434 Sunnyside Rd., thought the Council would have more input before the decision was reached. He sees nothing to be gained by the northerly route and he suggested there may be a more viable alter- native which could be arrived at. Council- member Ziebarth questioned what impact new ideas would have at this late date. Mayor McCarty and Councilmember Forslund felt we need more answers as to elevation, drainage, etc. Councilmember Hodges felt the highway may he a detriment to business at fist, as in St. Cloud, but not in the long run. Councilmember Rowley felt that, since the decision has been made, we should take a strong position and act now to make sure the E.I.S. addresses pertinent problems such as drainage, grading, buffers etc. rather than react later. Bob Shelquist, 8025 Fairchild, stated that some citizens look forward to having Hwy. 10 out of the main street of Mounds View. MnDOT's decision is consistent with what we have re- quested in the past. Mr. Dahlgren has already twice recommended that Hwy. 10 be moved. Staff was directed to check on where we are in the process, MuDot will need to address the Red Oak interchange, how drainage is ,affected. elevation, how they propose to deal with noise problems, etc. Regular Meeting December 10, 1979 MnDOT Decision on Hwy. 10 Relocation MOUNDS VIEW CITY COUNCIL Page 3 Bill Rice, 2932 County Rd.
