Regular Meeting Page 10
Official Rose stated that 1st State Bank of
Vew Brighton was before the Council concern-
ing their request for a banking facility in
Mounds View. He summarized the Planning
Commission's action from their last meeting.
He stated that the site plan was taken from
the original concept approval that had been
given a year and a half ago. It is scaled
down from the original proposal, from
20,000 sq. ft. to 3,580 sq. ft., with a

that the owners and the Bank were not

public hearing, indicating that they
should perhaps cover more than the
required 350 ft. and be sent to
residents on Red Oak Drive and Hillview.
There was considerable discussion between
the applicants, members of the Council
and the audience as to the traffic that

required before any permits could be
issued. The traffic studies were dis-
