which was sent to those receiving legal notice notifying them of a public
informational hearing which was held on April 18th at 7:30 P.M.
Richard Newman, planner, presented the proposal for Paster Enterprises. He
noted that some changes have taken place in the plan since the March 28th
and April 18th Planning Commission meetings. He emphasized that the center
as proposed would be used by business for promotional days, civic displays,
dances, charity drives, and it would create employment and shopping convenience
for the residents of Mounds View. The total land area involved would be ten
acres.
Mr. Newman added that the shopping center would be about 103,000 square feet with
an enclosed mall of 7,500 square feet. Included in the shopping center would
be a Penny's super market, F.O.K. hardware store, fabric shop, men and women's
apparel, a barber shop, beauty shop, gift shop, and a radio and electronics
store.
He stated that the developer had hopes of getting a national food chain such as
McDonald's on the southeast corner of the property. He said a 30 foot emergency
service lane is provided at the rear of the building and that trucks would enter
from Long Lake Road. Landscaping would be an undulating berm with shrubs.
Lighting would be of three kinds: direct lighting for the parking lot, residential
lighting at the entrances and building lights in the rear for security. The
Building itself would be a one story steel frame concrete block. It would be
sprinkled, with soft brick along the front and sides. There would be a split -
faced roof. The enclosed mall would be air conditioned and heated. Drainage
has been discussed with the village engineer and will be provided according to
his approval. He added that the developer has sent a letter to the Highway
Department requesting signals at County Road I and Highway 10 and Long Lake Road
and Highway #10.
Mayor Neisen called for questions and comments from the floor.
Mr. Harry Gum, 7805 Greenwood Drive, asked if the exit on County Road I was in
line with Greenwood Drive. Mr. Newman replied that "Yes" it was. Originally
it was further west but at the suggestion of the Planning Commission the exit was
moved to line up with Greenwood Drive.
Robert Glazer, 2375 Hillview Road felt that the access to the development was
not adequate. That he was not happy with the proposed McDonald's restaurant
on the property since it was a high traffic volume enterprise. And he was
concerned that the Village may be setting the property north of County Road I
up for a future rezoning. He felt the development needed better light and
noise protection and was concerned about truck traffic on Village streets.
Mrs. Geraldine Utphall, 7801 Greenwood Drive asked if there were exits onto
