Administrator Achen said Paster Enterprises should be encouraged to do the
work because if the city does it, the cost will be assessed back on next
years taxes.
Attorney Meyers read the proposed ordinance.
Councilman Baumgartner felt Item 1, in the ordinance;'pumping ponds daily"
should read "pumping as deemed necessary."
Councilman Pickar felt a one -year assessment may be a hardship on the tenants
and chase away business. He would rathersee it spread 6 to 7 years.
MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) to adopt Ordinance No. 231 removing and eliminating
public health and safety hazards from the Mounds View Square Shopping Center,
and authorizing the levying of a special assessment thereon.

MSP (Johnson - Pickar) to accept the July 11, 1975, letter from Paster
Enterprises as a petition for the improvement of the ditch at State
Highway 10 between Long Lake Road and County Road I and to have a
feasibility and cost estimate prepared.
Mayor Johnson said Council would reconsider Mr. Harstad's request to
plat Greenfield Plat No. 3.
Mr. Harstad said it was his impression that this was for final approval
of the plat, not preliminary. Lot 5 already has a house. It is the
lowest lot on the plat. There is no water in the basement. He has no
drainage problems.
Councilman Baumgartner asked about water that would go to other areas
after his area is developed covering the percolation area.
Mr. Harstad said if the ditch was not plugged there would be no problem.
He said special assessments have been levied that he is charged with and
it is within his legal right to develop his property.
Mayor Johnson retorted that people on Bona Road have water in their
basements. The city has committed to hire a drainage consultant to
correct drainage problems in the city and he asked Mr. Harstad if he
would enter into a binding agreement with the city stipulating that
he would not develop any more of the lots until a solution to the drainage
is derived.
Mr. Harstad said he would wait until October 1975.
Mayor Johnson said the city may have to wait at least six months to
perfect a solution to the drainage problem.
