Clerk /Administrator Pauley advised Ms. Hogan that
Building Inspector Rose would have to be let into
the building, to inspect it, as he had attempted to
already and the building had been locked.
Tom Granroth, 8415 Greenwood Drive, stated his
neighbor has a bug zapper in his yard which he feels
is as loud as a plane flying overhead. The neighbor
has offered to sell it for $200, but Mr. Granroth
stated he does not wish to buy it, and asked if the
City could control the use.
Attorney Meyers advised that in reviewing the City
ordinance and State statutues regarding public
nuisances, he feels it would be difficult to
surpress thin as a public nuisance, unless there
was some clear definition of bug zappers. He
stated the Council could set time guidelines in
an ordinance, and regulate noise levels.
Mayor McCarty stated that the bug season would be
long over in the time it would take to proceed with
any action. He suggested Mr. Granroth may want to
take civil action. He also suggested Staff could
research the matter. Mayor McCarty stated he
personally would want to publish any ordinance
change in the paper and get feedback from the residents
before acting on the ordinance.
John Winiecki, 7575 Groveland, advised the southwest
corner of Groveland and County Road I is overgrown
with lilac bushes and presents a hazard with cars
trying to pull out into the intersection.

Staff check into it.

measured 1450 vehicles per day.

be entered as part of the proceedings.

problem in the trailer court.

private property and the responsibility of the
owner to plow.
Margaret Ihde stated she did not feel the gate
would stop theft, and two exits are needed for
emergencies, and would even out the traffic.

around the corner from the gate and feels it

Petition for
Permanent
Opening of
Emergency Access
Belle Lake
at Mounds View
Trailer Park
Mounds View City Council
Regular Meeting
Deliah Hopp, 4054 Glenhaven, stated that with the
gate closed, the children climb the fence and go
through her back yard, and she has had problems
with the damage they do.
Leslie Adams, 4061 Glenhaven Lane, stated she is
not on the petition but is in favor of having
the gate open, for emergency situations.
Jim Herman, 2125 Belle Lane, stated he lives right
outside the gate, and is against opening it up. He
stated he gets a lot of walking traffic through his
yard from the trailer court, and has had a lot of
damage to his lawn. If the gate were opened up,
there would be a good deal of work that would have
to be done. He added that he moved to that
particular residential street because it was not
busy, and would be safe for his family. He also
pointed out the exit does not line up with Belle
Lane, and it would be a blind corner, with no
street light, or stop sign.
Nancy Herman, 2125 Belle Lane, stated she is against
the gate being opened, and already has too much
traffic going through her yard, and the kids have
destroyed her lawn and garden. She pointed out
the visibility is not good around the curve, to
have an intersection there.
Jackie Rolff, 2150 Belle Lane, stated there are 15
houses on her block, and she does not want the 1450
cars per day driving down their street. She added
she could agree to a small walk- through for the
children.
Tom Thomson stated he lives on the corner of
Bronson and Raymond, and does not wart the extra
traffic. He pointed out the street was not designed
to be an access area to the trailer court, and he
has small children, and feels it would be very
dangerous to have the added traffic on their street.
He stated he could agree to a walk -thru for the
children.
Doris Brown, 2139 Belle Lane, stated she was opposed
to opening the gate.
Reinhardt Johnson, 2142 Belle Lane, stated he had
lived in his home for 33 years and was opposed to
opening the gate.
Mrs. Cunningham, 2150 Belle Lane, stated she was
-`opposed to opening the gate, as there is too much
traffic going too fast already, and there have
been problems in the past when the gate was opened.

Regular Meeting
Jerry Duvall, 4016 Glenhaven, stated he agrees the
drivers on the road are bad, but not all are trailer
park people.
Lyle Elm, 2139 Belle Lane, stated he has lived there
since 1951, and it has been a peaceful neighborhood.
When the trailer park was installed, the City did
not permit access at that time because it was a bad
location, and it still is a bad location for an
intersection, as it is very dangerous.
Delores Peterson, 2133 Belle Lane, stated she was
opposed to opening the gate, as there were many
problems when it was open last winter, and there is
too much traffic which goes too fast. She also
pointed out there is vacant land across the street
from the main access to the trailer park.
Aldon Johnson, owner of the trailer park, stated
that when he built the park, he requested the second
exit and was turned down by the City, and told where
to put the entrance. After the park filled up, there
were so many complaints from homeowners regarding
children going through their yards, that the gate and
fence were put in. Then, after the tornado, the
trailer park residents started to complain, he met
with the City and was instructed on how to put in
the emergency entrance and breakaway gate. He later
changed the gate to allow children to get through.
He added he feels the access available now through the
main entrance is good.
Mr. Johnson stated he has discussed the options avail-
able with Director Thatcher, and he feels they cannot
satisfy everyone. The most important thing is that
emergency vehicles can get through, which they can now.
Laura Larson, manager of the rack, stated that the
Fire Department and Police Department have keys for
the gate. Mr. Johnson added he will install whatever
the Police and Fire Departments want him to have there.
Mayor McCarty replied Staff will check with the Police
and Fire Departments to see if they have any problems.
Councilmember Hankner asked if anyone has approached
the School District to get an access opened at the
north end. Mr. Johnson replied that it is private
property back there.
Mayor McCarty asked v. ._t the estimates are to open the
gate and road. Director Thatcher replied between
5,000 and $10,000. Mr. Johnson added he has already
put $5,000 into that opening.

Mayor McCarty stated he was not in favor of opening
the access up, primarily because of the cost, which
would be assessed to the owner, and he has already
stated he is against it, and because the residents
knew what the situation was when they moved there,
and because the engineer has recommended against it.
Councilmember Hankner stated she could see both
sides. She recommended approaching the School
District to see what could be resolved. She also
pointed out that in 1981 a great number of budget
cuts took place, which is why the bus service may
have been eliminated. She stated she is opposed
to the entrance at this time because of the location
on the curve, the lack of lighting, and so forth.
Councilmember Linke stated he concurred with Mayor
McCarty, and that while he could sympathize with the
park residents, he was not in favor of opening up
the access.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she concurred with
Mayor McCarty also, and she feels that the emergency
gate the park presently has is sufficient.
Mayor McCarty summarized that at this time the Council
has decided against permanently opening the entrance,
but they will check on the situation with the children
and their route to school.
Director Thatcher gave his second quarter report for
the Public Works /Community Development departments,
bringing the Council up to date on the work they've
been doing.
Motion /Second: Hankner /Linke to adjourn the meeting 17. Adjournment
