He added his wife had called Mayor Linke over 90 days ago to discuss the problem, and they have not heard back from his since then. Mr. Deppa stated he is upset because the City does not believe them, that the mail was stolen, and he has received no response either from the Post Office. He added the issue is not so much the $5 penalty but the ongoing problem. Dq► E Ape evoFo vosr/g 7 Regular Meeting May 26, 1987 Mounds View City Hall 2401 Hwy. 10, Mounds View, MN 55112 1.

Residents Requests and Comments from the Floor Mounds View City Council May 26, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Two Mayor Linke stated that when he first became aware of the problem, he checked with the Finance Director to see what the City's policy is, and the City will forgive one late payment or reading, but Mr. Deppa has already had one forgiven. He added that as far as mail being taken from the mail box, it is a federal matter for the Post Office to handle. Councilmember Blanchard suggested Mr. Deppa speak to the postal inspector but she warned that it can take a long time before they look into the matter. Councilmember Hankner stated she can understand Mr. Deppa's request and she does not feel it is unreason- able. She added that the matter should be taken care of with either the Police Department or Post Office, and if there is a problem with the response from the Post Office, they could contact Congressman Vento. Motion /Second: Hankner /Quick to send a letter to Congressman Vento explaining a constituant from the area is having a problem with the Post Office and their lack of response to his situation. 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried John Winiecki, 7575 Groveland Road, stated he and his neighbors have contacted the City regarding the wetlands behind them and the ditch which is not being maintained. He stated that in the past when it has been wet, they have had problems with the water in their back yards and not being able to mow certain areas, and they would like the ditch to be maintained. Mayor Linke asked that the discussion be continued when the Dailey Knolls public hearing comes on the agenda. Mayor Linke closed the regular meeting and opened the first public hearing at 7:13 PM. Clerk /Administrator Pauley explained Amoco Oil is requesting a conditional use permit to operate a self- service gas station with a conven1en store and car wash, and the proposal has received approval from the Planning Commission. Jim Filippi, of North Star Engineering, reviewed the proposed site plan. Councilmember Blanchard stated she was concerned with possible problems with cars going back out onto Highway 10, and the possibility of accidents. 6. Public Hearing: Conditional Use Permit for Amoco Oil Co. Mounds View City Council May 26, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Three Mr. Filippi stated that MnDOT has approved the plan and issued the necessary permits, and the traffic engineers did not find any problems when they reviewed the plan. He added there is plenty of stacking room and a good sight line out onto Highway 10. Mayor Linke stated they already have a stacking problem on Silver Lake Road and he is concerned that this will add to it, and he would prefer to see a sign or median prohibiting a left turn out onto Silver Lake Road. Mr. Filippi explained the site was designed for the flow of traffic, and they did look at a right turn in, right turn out only and determined that it wasn't necessary. He added they estimate approximately 50 cars per hour on the site, and the majority of those will be going back onto Highway 10, and they do not anticipate a problem with those turning left onto Silver Lake Road. Councilmember Blanchard asked if the Council approves the conditional use permit and then stacking becomes a problem, if the City would have any recourse. Attorney Meyers replied they could put a time limit on the conditional use permit, with a reviewal scheduled for one year, and the recourse would be to not renew the conditional use permit. He added that if stacking is a concern, they should address it more thoroughly in the permit at this time. George Winiecki, 2732 Highway 10, stated he is located across Silver Lake Road from the proposed development and he already has a problem with people cutting through his parking lot at high speeds, if they have missed their turn. He also asked what the zoning of the property is. Mayor Linke repled it is zoned B3, which is proper for this proposal. Mr. Winiecki asked if the property could be pulled from the tax increment financing district. Mayor Linke replied it could not. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:28 PM. Councilmember Hankner pointed out the proposed gas station is across the highway from a day care center, 'which she never felt should have been placed there, and she is now opposed to placing a gas station at this site, as there is the potential of another gas explosion, and she feels the Super America station 7. Consideration of Rslt. No. 2199 Mounds View City Council May 26, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Four down the highway is a better location. She added that this site is part of the District 6 and 12 study. Clerk /Administrator Pauley stated the recommendation from the Planning Commission calls for a public hearing one year after operation to consider whether or not to continue 24 hours of operation, and they could also address the traffic issues at that time. Mr. Filippi stated Amoco Oil is very willing to work with the City, but he pointed out that since this would be a sizeable investment, Amoco would be very concerned about having the conditional use permit revoked after the first year, so they would do their best to solve any problems as they would occur. Councilmember Hankner read a list of eight criteria from Chapter 40 that the Council must feel has been met before granting a conditional use permit, and she would like more time to study the proposal, as she feels this is an unsafe situation. Motion /Second: Hankner /Blanchard to table this item until June 22, 1987. 4 ayes 1 nay :=Mayor Linke voted against the motion, stating the request has been before the Council for some time and he feels ample time has been taken on it already.

He added the plan is the same one that was approved by the Council three years ago, and they are ready to go ahead with it now.

Public Hearing: Dailey Knolls Preliminary Plat Mounds View City Council May 26, 1987 Regular Meeting Page Five Clerk /Administrator Pauley replied he wasn't sure, but if it is a County ditch, he would encourage the residents to contact the County Commissioner, Duane McCarty, as well as having the City contact him. He stated he would get back to Mr. Winiecki once he determines whose responsibility it is. Mayor Linke closed the public hearing and reopened the regular meeting at 7:49 PM. Clerk /Administrator Pauley asked that R. J. Riches be added under Item K for a restaurant license, as the property as been sold, and the new owners have filled all the requirements.

Mayor Linke explained the ditch was to be reconstructed that was filled in by the home owners, and that once the rework was started, it was determined that no work was required in Mr. Casey's back yard, and resodding was only to be done where the rework was done. 9.

She added that she would be willing to personally take care of the survey, and knock on doors and get the residents opinions.
