Mr Harstad requested the Council again look into the issue of development of Bona Rd
between County Road I and Hillview, specifically Greenfield Plat 3. He stated that
it is his intention to build only split entries in the area, which would not experience
any water problems. All basement elevations would be higher than the existing house
on Lot 5, which is the lowest on Bona Road.
Mayor Pickar stated that development would increase drainage problems for the other
residents already located in the area. Mr Harstad replied that it was his experience
that the more buildings that were put on property, the more the water table drops,
not rises. He stated that if there would be a problem then storm sewers should be
put in.
Mr Harstad reminded the Council that he is paying taxes on improved lots, but he
cannot build on them, and that he has been waiting for two years for the approval
to build.
Councilmember Rowley recommended that Mr Harstad be put on the agenda of a future
Council meeting, allowing the Staff time to gather information of this issue.
Mr Harstad stated he would like to sit down with Bannister -Short and a representative
from the City of Mounds View to work out the problem.
MSP (Rowley - Ziebarth) to table discussion on the Bona Road development until the June
27 Council meeting, and the Staff and Mr Harstad prepare the necessary information
before that meeting. 4 Ayes
