Mr. Fahrmann asked regarding the low areas -- are they going to be
filled in? Mayor Johnson replied that many low areas have been
designated as flood plain areas so cannot be used for development
purposes.
Paul Veneen, Roseville, stated that his land is zoned commercial.
In looking at a copy of your comprehensive plan it appears to be
changed and he very much objects to that. Mayor Johnson stated
that this does not change any zoning at all. From a planning
standpoint it tells us what really should be the uses of the open
land in the city. He illustrated on the map to familiarze the
people with what they were trying to obtain.
Robert Glazer stated that he would like to see the City take a
more forceful position in opposition to any future upgrading of
Red Oak Drive, along with construction of an interchange at Red
Oak on new Highway 10. Mayor Johnson stated that future development
of new Highway 10 is still in the planning stages and, apparently,
some time away. He indicated that the Council has on several
occasions written to the various local and state officials indicating
the City's opposition to any plans for an interchange at Red Oak.
Mr. Gustafson inquired as to how much control does the Metropolitan
Council have? Mayor Johnson replied that this plan has been
reviewed and approved by them. As a practical matter they had
little to say about it.
Councilman Baumgartner stated that if someone wanted to build a
500 home development without a sewer that would be significant
and the Metropolitan Council would look into it. Changing water
courses would be another item. Councilman Shelquist stated that
the legislature has instructed them to help communities develop
comprehensive plans. They demand that every community within the
7 county district come up with a comprehensive plan. Our plan
reflects what we think Mounds View should be doing in the next
few years.
George Gustafson asked when the open meetings were held and Barbara
Haake replied that letters were sent to all land owners, notices
were put in papers, etc. In total about 125 citizens availed
themselves of the public hearings. We were only required to have
one hearing.
Mayor Johnson stated that the Metropolitan Council has indicated
that there are certain things we should be changing, so we will
have to have another public hearing to talk about the changes.
It is better to adopt the plan conditionally upon the changes being
put into it, thereby not having to go through another public hearing.
Councilman Shelquist stated that the Planning Commission should
change it as changes are merited. If it requires another public
hearing then we should hold one at that time.
