4 ayes
The administrator stated he was going to take this area back to the
Planning Commission to clarify it. Perhaps they should review it
and make a recommendation to the Council.
Councilman Shelquist said that Mr. Gustafson had stated that he had an
architect looking at the rest of his lots and he replied that we
hired him to come up with something.
Councilman Shelquist said that you anticipate coming back before us
then. Did he withdraw the additional lots? I still question the
kind of fee that he paid.
The Administrator stated that he filled out one application and conferred
with the Planning Commission but he did not revise the application.
Mr. Gustafson stated that it all seemed like discrimination to him. He
is just trying to get out from under the taxes. He does not want to
lose his land.
Councilman Shelquist stated that that is the point. You started develop -.,
ing your land in one mode and now you are trying to change it.
Acting Mayor Hodges stated that we want to work with you and we will
talk to and direct our Planning Commission to look into the overall
plan for the area and ask you to work with them.
The administrator told the citizens present that if the Planning
Commission does reconsider the comprehensive plan that their input would
be very beneficial to them.
Mr. Houle stated that he appreciated Mr. Gustafson's problem but he
has benefited because the price of land has gone up. He is not hurting
that bad. ,
There was a 5 minute recess.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 1975 -4A
The administrator stated that this is the Mounds View Square Shopping
Center drainage. Since the public hearing there has been indications
of severe erosion. The staff prepared for Council consideration a
proposal to tile only that section of the ditch adjacent to the SE
holding pond. The Council needs to make a decision on what it plans
to do. Similar plans have been prepared for a project less than
originally proposed and in accord with the staff report at the agenda
session.
John Bearden prepared the final plans with the thought to extend the
culverts onto either side to get a lesser slope. Since that time the
Shopping Center has put in a bituminous curb.
