Mr. Winiecki stated that No. 326-91 he was unable to build on his property due to a moratorium placed on it by the City in the past. Chair Mountin explained the five characteristics specified by Code that must be addressed for all rezonings. She clarified that the resolution is only citing City Code. Mr. Winiecki stated to the Planning Commission that411 others in Mounds View, such as Super America, have done what he is proposing. He also stated the market is depressed and there are no buyers for B-2 zoned property and that when he did have an offer at a B-2 zoning, the property was under a building moratorium. Mr. Winiecki commented that there will be a need for gasoline/convenience stores when the "dinosaur" gas stations die off; Conoco would be successful because people want a clean, service-oriented operation.

He stated that the station will not increase traffic; people buy gas on the way to their destination.
