Mayor Neisen called the hearing to order to consider the issuance of a special use permit
to Mobil Oil to construct a service station on the Southeast corner of Silver Lake Road
and Highway #10 at 9:00 P.M.
Clerk Zylla read the legal notice and attested to its publication in the New Brighton
Bulletin on November 2nd and 9th. He stated that eleven (11) notices were sent to
affected property owners within the 250 foot radius as required by law.
Richard Smith, real estate representative for Mobil Oil presented a fire marshall approved
plot plan for the service station property with red driveway lines drawn therein. He stated
that the station would have two bays, two accesses from Silver Lake Road, and one access
from Highway #10. The building would be masonary type identical to the Mobil Oil station
on Highway #65 and Osborne Road. He stated that he has in hand access permits from Ramsey
County and the State Highway Department. He noted that the Planning Commission had rejected
the application because of a traffic hazard to people trying to cross Silver Lake Road. He
added that a signalized intersection is the best place for people to cross Highway #10.
Moreover, the proposed service station exists on traffic but does not generate traffic. He
estimated that between 6:00 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. and between 3:30 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. there
would be approximately one car arriving at the station every six minutes which would be
ne half of the daily customers.
yor Neisen read the Planning Commission minutes of September 27th which dealt with
mobil Oils appearance before the Commission. The Council also had before it accident
data for the Silver Lake Road, Highway #10 intersection for the last five years.
Mr. Bernard Falck, 7111 Knollwood Drive stated that there was no plot map available for
Planning Commission review at their meeting. He stated that the Planning Commission was
opposed to entrances on Silver Lake Road because two yellow lines would have to be crossed.
Mr. Smith stated that the plot plan he had tonight was dated June 26th, 1972.
Mr. Robert Glazer, 2375 Hillview Road stated that this proposal demonstrated a blatant
economic need by Mobil Oil to put their sign up. He added that the Village had twelve
stations and there was another Mobil Oil station a mere 1/2 mile up the highway. It would
affect the free flow of traffic and therefore affect the welfare of citizens of the Village.
In addition, Mounds View Highway #10 was becoming gasoline alley and looked aesthetically
bad.
Charles Larson, who identified himself as a non Mounds View resident, stated that the
station would be a great improvement to what was existing already, Moreover, the County
and the Highway Department are more qualified to determine where entrances should be on
Highway #10. He declared that the station was a $250,000 investment and would not send
children to school.
Mrs. Barbara Haake, 1740 County Road I added that the station may be an improvement for
the corner now, but other persons will ask for the corner later, She felt that the
*.ation as proposed would present a traffic problem because the semiphore is slow
