DATE APPROVED: 8/12/85 Regular Meeting July 22, 1985 Mounds View City Hall 2401 Hwy. 10, Mounds View, MN 55112 2. Pledge of Allegiance 4. Approval of Minutes: July 8, 1985 Motion Carried 6. Public Hearing: Review of Consultant Report on Review of Comp Plan, Districts 6 and 12 5. Residents Requests and Comments from the Floor Mounds View City Council July 22, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Two Director Thatcher introduced Bob Wuornos and Zack Johnson, from Wuornos and Associates, the firm that has been retained to do the review of Districts 6 and 12 of the Comp Plan. Mr. Wuornos outlined the areas they have been asked to study and explained the procedure they are follow- ing and what their findings have been to date. He also read into the minutes petitions that had been received regarding the review and suggestions for the area. Mayor Linke explained the Council is not anticipating doing any rezoning at this time. They are working to bring the Comp Plan and zoning map into compliance, and they are gathering information at this point. James Trimbo, 7880 Groveland, stated he had bought his home 16 years ago, and a request was submitted to the City at that time to zone some of the property commercial, and it was turned down and multiple family dwellings built. He stated he has had nothing but trouble with the multiple dwellings and would rather see commercial. Linda Bankston, 8025 Groveland Road, stated she would like to see the area stay quiet and would like to see low density residential and not large apartment buildings. Jim Gable, 7934 Fairchild, stated he was not opposed to R -2, but they must leave a buffer between the residential and commercial areas, and would favor having that area as R -2. Jon Thomas, 8040 Groveland, asked for a clarification of what a special use is. Director Thatcher explained what permitted uses are for B -3 zoning, and what would be allowed under it. Attorney Meyers pointed out that the K -Gas was zoned B -3 before the City became incorporated in 1953. Jerry Blanchard, 8005 Groveland, stated he finds it hard to believe the City can move backwards, and they should stay away from strip zoning. He stated he objects to the fact that a meeting was held specifically for the businesses and did not include the residents. Mounds View City Council July 22, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Three Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated they must remember the consequences of downzoning and the potential for lawsuits. Director Thatcher clarified that there are approximately eight locations in question. Don Lias, an attorney representing K -Gas, stated they did not attend a business meeting. He also explained that the Comp Plan is not zoning but rather a plan for zoning. He added he would recommend zoning the radiator repair shop as commercial, and they could then perhaps develop it better. He also stated the Comp Plan could be amended to allow a small B -3 area. Grace Thomas, 8040 Groveland Road, stated her property abaitts the radiator repair shop and they have had many problems with the business operation. She stated she feels the area off Highway 10 should be residential only. Councilmember Hankner asked if the residents are will- ing to pay for litigation that most likely would result from rezonings, and whether they believe the rtat of the taxpayers in Mounds View should subsidize tnat 1itigatio Phyllis Blanchard, 8005 Groveland Road, stated she was speaking as a resident and not a Councilmember, and stated she is not opposed to change but does not feel District 6 should change to anything but should remain residential. Mr. McCarty stated he feels that as a community, the people will stay together, and the Council should consider compensating the people who may have their zoning changed. Mr. Trimbo stated he was opposed to spending any money on this. Bill Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated they must look at the overall picture, and they must quit decreasing lot size and filling up the City and overworking the services. Steve Dahlke, 8030 Groveland Road, stated he lives directly behind the radiator repair shop and he has had considerable problems with that operation and specifically the dogs there. Councilmember Hankner stated the Council would like to hear from as many residents as possible, and they were welcome to call or write any of the Councilmembers if they did not wish to speak publicly. Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting Peg Mountin, 8287 Red Oak Drive, asked the residents to think of Highway 10 as the front door to Mounds View. She stated she would like to see it look good and work well, and they must work something out now and not let this continue on. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 8:31 PM. The Council took a 5 minute recess. Mayor Linke called the meeting back to order and opened the next public hearing at 8:36 PM. Robert Johnson, an attorney with Super America, read a letter received from a Coon Rapids resident, concerning their operation there. He explained the resident had originally been opposed to the station, and read her comments stating she was pleased with the operation of the station. He added they will also be receiving a letter from the City of Coon Rapids shortly, stating that they feel the project has gone well and they have not had problems with Super America. Mike Holt, a representative with Super America, presented site plans and reviewed the details planned for the development. He pointed out that the lighting will be directed outwards, toward Highway 10, so it would not bother the residents of the Mary Anderson development. He also stated that traffic studies have shown that tl'e traffic that would use Mounds View Drive would be local residents and not thru traffic. Mitch Wonson, of Benshop and Associates, stated his firm had done the traffic studies for Super America and he reviewed their findings, showing the anticipated traffic flow and what percentages would use what roads, and during what hours. He also explained that Super America is willing to dedicate a corner of their property for a right turn lane from County Road I onto Highway 10, which should help alleviate any stacking problems that might occur, although they are not antici- pated. Mayor Linke explained no decisions will be made by the Council tonight and they are just gathering information to use in making a decision. He also explained that when Mounds View Drive was planned, t was with the intent that it would be a service road, both for the residents of the area and the businesses that would front on Highway 10.

Public Hearing: Kraus Anderson Major Subdivision for Property Located at Approximately Highway 10 and County Road I Mounds View City Council July 22, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Five Carol Golden, 7417 Parkview Drive, asked why an entrance was necessary off Mounds View Drive. Bob Hartmann, of Super America, explained that a driveway there would enhance the property, as well as benefit the entire neighborhood. He added that the Super America station would be a greater convenience for the people of the area rather than other areas. Bob Holmbeck, 2596 Mounds View Drive, stated he does not want to see the zoning change. Lance Raygor, 2584 Mounds View Drive, presented a petition to the Council, against the rezoning of the property, from neighborhood residents. Joe Masanz, 2626 Lake Court Drive, stated he felt this was only the beginning and if it were approved, there would be more business generated, with a lot more traffic. He added that he bought with the knowledge that the zoning was B -2. Marcella Raygor stated she does not mind driving to other Super Americas or gas stations ire the area and she reviewed the stations in the area and how far a drive they were for her. She added she feels that a rezoning would downgrade their property values. Arden Wahlberg, 2642 Lake Court Drive, stated he checked the zoning before signing a purchase agreement on his home, and he does not want to see the zoning changed. Jeff Pinotti, 2644 Lake Court Drive, stated he had also purchased his home based on the current zoning and he would like it to remain that way. Bob Wagner, 2590 Mounds View Drive, stated he would like to see the zoning remain as it is. Mrs. Raygor stated that she does not feel a right turn lane onto Highway 10 would be of any benefit as the traffic is too heavy during rush hour to be able to get on. Dale Kremers, a representative of Kraus Anderson, explained they have had many requests from other buyers for the property, that would be allowable under B -2, but Kraus Anderson has turned them down so far because they would be a much higher usage and busier. He added that an office building was never proposed by Kraus Anderson for that lot. He also invited any interested resident to come down Mounds View City Council July 22, 1985 Regular Meeting Page Six to their office to see the requests that have been received, so they can realize what could be put there without any rezoning. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed what would be allowed under both B -2 and B -1 zoning. Mayor Linke clarified that the hours of operation could be limited by the City. Attorney Meyers pointed out that Super America has agreed that if the project is approved, they will remove the structure at any time that it is no longer used for that purpose, which would eliminate the problem of abandoned gas stations which has happened before. Mr. McCarty stated they must look at the project from a PUD standpoint. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 9:30 PM. Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the next public hearing at 9:30 PM. Kathleen Tacke, 7433 Park View Terrace, stated the literature from Mary Anderson says that a medical office building is proposed for the site in question. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 9:31 PM. Clerk /Administrator Pauley asked that Gorecki and Company be added under Item E on the consent agenda, for $2,476.92.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 396 Motion Carried Mounds View City Council July 22, 1985 Regular Meeting Director Thatcher reviewed the activities of the Community Development and Public Works departments for the second quarter of 1985. He stated he was very pleased with the way the Public Works foreman position has worked out. He also reviewed the upcoming activities for the Public Works department. Councilmember Hankner expressed concern that the City's building permit fees might be high, and the possibility that they might be preventing home owners from making changes to their homes. Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained the City has always been below the State averages for building permit fees, and when they were last increased three years ago, they did not bring them up to average at that time. He stated the City's fees are less than many surrounding cities. Mayor Linke stated the Council had invited the Chair- man of the Planning Commission to the meeting this even;,; to open up the lines of communication. He addeu they will be doing this will all the various commissions. Peg Mountin stated they would like to keep the Planning Commission size at the minimum level of 7 members until they have completed the Comp Plan update, as it is very difficult to train in new members as they go and continue working on a project of this nature. She also stated she would like to see the City pass on information that is received on training or seminars that would be beneficial to the Planning Commission. Councilmember Hankner reported she had received a suggestion from a Commission member who would like to see the City present a letter or something in writing to the various commission members, perhaps once a year, recognizing their achievements, which could then be something they could put in their resume or personnel files in their private life. Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated they could send a letter out at the end of each year, from the Mayor and Council, acknowledging that persons participation for the past year. Clerk /Administrator Pauley reviewed the purpose of proposed Ordinance No. 397. Page Seven 11. 2nd Quarter 1985 Department Head and Commission Reports 12.
