Regular Meeting Page Three
Councilmember Hankner asked if the Planning Commission
had discussed contacting the residents at the time the
plan was first discussed, rather than at this time.
Director Thatcher replied they have had a problem getting
a quorum during the summer.
Stan Sirwa, 5279 O'Connell Drive, asked why the residents
were not notified at the beginning, and what would be
required to stop this now.
Mayor Linke replied that the Council is soliciting their
input at this time, and this is the first time it has
been formally presented to the Council.
Director Thatcher explained the City installed a sign
on the property, stating that it was under development
consideration, and they mailed notices to the residents.
He added the Code does not require a public hearing,
yet the City is doing this as a courtesy to the residents.
He added the Council has not made up their minds yet on
what they will be doing, and they are soliciting comments
at this time.
Mr. Brunn explained the hours of operation will be 7 AM
to 10 PM, with an attendent on duty at all times.
Don Zappa, 5249 Jeffrey Drive, stated he was concerned
about garbage being left outside.
Mr. Sirwa stated he was concerned with garbage blowing
across the street and into his yard, and the smell the
water might have if it sits on the ground.
Mr. Brunn explained the storm sewer will be for surface
runoff only, and the sanitary sewer will bF for the car
wash itself and water will not be able to go directly
to the street or anywhere but the sewer system.
Jim Hass, 5240 Jeffrey Drive, stated he does not have
enough water pressure in his home now and was concerned
he would have less with a car wash there.
Director Thatcher reported there is very good water
pressure in that area, but he will have someone on Staff
check into it.
Mr. Sirwa stated he also has a problem with his water
pressure.
James Jackson, 5299 O'Connell, stated he also has a
problem with his water pressure, and he also is
concerned with who will maintain the berm, stating
he would prefer a solid fence.
Councilmember Hankner explained those concerns could
be covered in the development agreement.

Regular Meeting Page Four
Russ Rudd, 5289 O'Connell Drive, stated he would like a
well maintained fence along the proper_Y, on all sides.
He added he would not object to the business if it is
maintained properly.
Gina Hass, 5240 Jeffrey Drive, stated there is already a
noise problem in the neighborhood due to their location
by Highway 10 and other businesses in the area and she
does not want additional traffic or noise.
Mike Rich, representing the owner of the property,
stated they have followed all the proper procedures,
and the Planning Commission has reviewed it and the
property is properly zoned. He added the concerns
noted will be taken care of.
Councilmember Hankner asked if a fence would pose any
problem as far as drainage was concerned.
Director Thatcher replied it would not. The Planning
Commission has recommended going with a berm rather
than a fence, but the Council can make their own
decision.
Mayor Linke noted the public hearing was not required
by the Code, but the Planning Commission and City Council
felt they should get the residents input.
Mrs. Brandon, no address given, stated she also has a
problem with her water pressure.
Mr. Rich pointed out that those who have a problem with their
water pressure, it is because of the size service they
have going into their homes.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the
regular meeting at 8:10 PM.
Motion /Second: Blanchard /Quick to table action on this 12.
item for two weeks, so the engineer can inspect the area
and check the water pressure problems.

Tor Wistrom, representing Kraus Anderson, reviewed the
street light proposal and placement of the lights. He
added they have authorized NSP to go ahead and install
the street lights, and they hope to begin work later
this week.
Bob Wagner, 2590 Mounds View Drive, asked what the
street lighting would consist of.
Mr. Wistrom showed the plan for the lights and their
placement.
Director Thatcher explained two lights have been in
place since 1982, but NSP would not turn them on until
the property was developed.
Joe Mesanz, 2626 Lake Court Drive, asked the status of
the rezoning.
Mayor Linke explained it had been approved with the
securJ reading and adoption earlier in the evening.
Councilmember Hankner explained some of the history of
the property, with the owner attempting to sell it and
finding a buyer in Super America. She explained the
developer is very willing to work with the City, and
the only reason rezoning was necessary was for the
installation of the gas pumps. She also pointed out
that Super America has agreed that if in the future
the gas pumps are no longer being used, they will be
removed, along with the tanks. She added that as
members of the Council, they must be very careful
about the decisions they make.
Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened
the regular meeting at 8:29 PM.
Attorney Meyers advised the Council to base their 14. Consideration
findings on section 40.25, Subd. C, (2), which of Resolution
includes that the use will not create an excessive No. 1921
burden on existing parks, schools, streets and
other public facilities and utilities which serve or
are proposed to serve the area, that the use will be
sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or
screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used
land so that existing homes will not be depreciated
in value and there will be no deterrance to develop-
ment of vacant land, that the structure and site shall
have an appearance that will not have an adverse
effect upon adjacent residential properties, that
the use, in the opinion of the City Council, is
reasonably related to the overall needs of the City
and to the existing land use, that the use is consistent
with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes
Mounds View City Council August 26, 1985
Regular Meeting Page Six
of the zoning district in which the applicant intends
to locate the proposed use, that the use is not in
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City, that
the use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion
and that adequate utilities, access roads, drainage
and necessary facilities have been or will be provided.
Attorney Meyers also advised that a 4/5 vote would be
required.
Director Thatcher expressed concern in tying in the
berming and joint driveway with Bonanza Restaurant,
who was the next scheduled public hearing, but who
was not present. He explained some modifications
would be required to the parking p] and the berm-
ing would have to be shifted in order to properly
buffer the residents from the businesses. He stated
he understands Super America and Bonanza are willing
to work together. He also explained there are some
questions yet on the right turn lane onto Highway 10,
and the highway department will be getting back to
him this week regarding the signal modifications.
Mr. Wistrom stated he felt the two pieces of property
should stand on their own two legs and be dealt with
separately. He stated they must consider that Bonanza
may decide not to go ahead, but they are more than
willing to work with them.
Mayor Linke stated he felt the two properties should
be dealt with separately.
Motion /Second: Quick /Blanchard to table until the
problems can be worked out with the berming between
Bonanza Restaurant and Super America.

There was considerable discussion before the vote was
taken regarding considering the developments separately
and Super America. and Bonanza working together, and the
amount Super America was willing to spend on the right
turn lane and signalization.
Mr. Wistrom recommended getting together with Clerk/
Administrator Pauley and Director Thatcher to work
on the details and the cost to be covered.
Mr. Hartmann stated Super America is willing to con-
tribute up to $10,000 toward the project and they would
prefer to do the site work themselves.
Mayor Linke pointed out the citizens main concern had
been traffic on Mounds View Drive, and the studies done
have indicated that it will not be a problem or have
an adverse affect on their neighborhood.

Director Thatcher explained bids had been opened 17. Consideration
earlier in the day for the improvements for the of Staff Memo
Gale /Yost addition, but they had been very comparable Regarding
to the bids received the first time, which were Gale /Yost
rejected. He added that City Staff has made a Addition
proposal of $41,000, plus the engineering costs and
anticipated permit costs, which total approximately
$9,000.
Attorney Meyers advised the Council to consider the
ramifications of having City Staff do this project.
He stated he would be very reluctant to have Staff
involved in something of this nature, and cited
recent court Findings where Cities were found to be
liable for the advice given by their employees.
Director Thatcher explained that the Council did
direct Staff to design this project.
Councilmember Hankner expressed concern with the
liability involved for the City. She also pointed
out the City has not done this for other developers
before.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she was very opposed
to having the City engineer do this. She stated
bids have been solicited twice, and the City should
either go with the low one received, or reject all
bids.
Councilmember Haake suggested waiting until next
year, if it was agreeable to the property owners,
as this year is very busy for the construction
companies and next year if it is slower, bids could
be much lower.
Mayor Linke reviewed the history of the area and
the problems the neighbors have had there.
Clerk /Administrator Pauley advised that the Gale's
and Yost's had petitioned for the public improvements
and the City had advertised for the bids, and if tine
City approves the low bid, they could refuse to pay
if they do not want to go ahead with the improvements.
He added the Council could reject the bids and order
a fence installed.
