VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR. Mayor Linke explained that this portion of the meeting was designated for anyone who wished to speak to the Council on items that were not on the Agenda. Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated he had a couple of questions in regard to the Anoka County Airport that have come to mind since the last council meeting, in particular in regard to the 1980 law that the city relied upon to hold the Anoka County Airport within its minor classification. He stated the Metropolitan Airports Commission has said that the 19801aw did not specifically say that they must maintain that given development guide at that particular point and time. Mr. McCarty asked if there has been some discovery that would support MAC's position on this issue, and secondly the court decree mentioned that MAC should proceed in accordance with the law and the 1980 master plan - so he questions whether or not that master plan was totally compliant to the 19801aw that held Anoka County Airport to its minor status. Therefore the two issues he feels must be addressed are the 19801aw's application to the development guide at that time and whether or not the 1983 master plan is in full compliance with that 19801aw. He would like the city attorney to do some research and answer these questions. PUBLIC HEARINGS: Public Hearing to Consider PUD Amendment to Increase Parking and Development Review for Everest Property at 5251 Program Avenue. Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 7:15 p.m. Ms. Sheldon, Community Development Director, explained that this request from the Everest Property Management is to increase the number of parking spaces on their property by 35 spaces. The total parking spaces would then increase to 500 spaces. Their desire is to meet the demands of a tenant interested in locating to the business park. The recommendation of the Planning Commission and staff is to approve the request with the following contingencies: 1) that Everest Development, Ltd. enter into a development agreement with the City of Mounds View; 2) that a landscaping plan be submitted and installed, subject to the approval of the City Forester; Page 4 August 26, 1996 Mounds View City Council 3) that approval and all necessary permits be obtained from the Rice Creek Watershed District. Ms. Sheldon noted that as part of the discussion on the parking lot and its relationship to the street, the City Forester has requested that the existing trees on the site be moved within 8' to 9' from the curb along the right of way. The applicant has agreed to this. Mayor Linke closed the Public Hearing at 7:22 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Hankner to Approve Resolution 4991, Recommending Approval of an Amendment to Development Agreement No. 87-81, with Mounds View Business Park, Building G, 5251 Program Avenue, and to Approve Resolution No. 4997, Recommending Approval of the Development Request of Everest Development, Ltd., Mounds View Business Park, Building G., 5251 Program Avenue. VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Public Hearing to Consider Ordinance No. 588, an Ordinance Amending the Development Contract Language of Chapter 1006.06, Subd. 4 of the Municipal Code. Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 7:23 p.m. Ms. Sheldon asked that this Public Hearing be tabled to the September 24, 1996 city council meeting. The reason for this is that at the August 7, 1996 meeting, the Planning Commission asked that they be allowed to review the final ordinance before making a recommendation to the City Council. The final draft of the ordinance has not been completed to date, therefore, it is necessary to continue the Public Hearing on September 24, 1996.

(3) on Accessory Structures; and Section 1301.13333, Subd. 2 on Non conforming Uses, and to correct minor typographical errors and errors in cross-references. Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 7:25 p.m. Ms. Sheldon explained that this ordinance will amend the city's flood plain zoning district so that it is in compliance with Federal law, This will help to insure that the city is still eligible as a community for flood insurance. i Ms. Sheldon noted that this Chapter is considered abuilding-type regulation and therefore the notice of the public hearing must be published in the newspaper. This was not done previously, and therefore Page 5 August 26, 1996 Mounds View City Council staff is recommending that the Public Hearing be held as part of the second reading of the ordinance, on September 9, 1996 (the date of publication) to make sure that proper notice has been given. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Trude to continue this Public Hearing on September 9, 1996.
