Regular Meeting Page Three
Bob Carpenter, 2650 Lake Court Drive, stated 27-30
people from the area were present who were not in
favor of this, with. their main concerns being noise
and traffic. He stated he was opposed to having
something like this open up.
Dave Lockna, no address given, stated he was president
of the homeowners association'of Silver Lake Woods,
and they all strongly agree they do not want such a
facility in their neighborhood.
Charlie Grovel,. property manager of Silver View Plaza,
explained this request was brought to the City as the
result of having a potential tenant who ended up going
elsewhere because this use was not allowed in a B-2
zone. He added the conditions are their idea, and
the limitations would allow the type of business they
want to see in a B-2 zone, which would be retail and
the selling of accessories and clothing. He added
they do not currently have an applicant trying to
get into the center, but are planning for the future.
He added Kraus Anderson does not want a tenant who
would not be good for the center, and they want a
clean operation.
• George Vahn, 2648 Lake Court Drive, stated history is
repeating itself, in that an operation similar to this
was brought into another neighborhood, over the resi-
dents objections, and even with similar conditions as
those that are proposed, within 4 years the neighbor-
hood had serious problems with motorcycle gangs,. and
lower property values.
Jack Crowley, 2566 Mounds View Drive, stated that even
if it is just parts sold, people will arrive on
motorcycles and ruin the neighborhood.
Mr. Masanz, 2626 Lake Court Drive, asked why the
rezoning was being requested if there no longer is
a tenant interested in moving in.
City Planner Herman explained it would be for potential
future tenants.
Mayor Hankner stated Kraus Anderson has come before
the Council several times asking for slight changes
in the Code to allow certain businesses in. She
explained anyone can come in at any time to request a
change in the Code, at which time a zoning change goes
before the Planning Commission, who reviews it and
makes a recommendation to the Council. It is up to
the Council to ultimately approve or reject the change.
The public hearing tonight is being held to get input.
She added the Council needs to hear from the people to
be able to make an informed decision.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ray Barue, 2570 Mounds View Drive, questioned what B-2
zoning is:
City Planner Herman defined B-2 zoning. She added the
proposed ordinance would be as a conaiicic~nal use, and
the applicant would have to go before the Planning
Commission and City Council before a tenant would be
allowed, and if the conditions are not met, the
conditional use permit would be revoked.
Councilmember Wuori questioned where the potential
tenant went.
Mr. Grovel explained they had gone to Spring Lake
Park, in the vicinity of 85th and Highway 65.
Catherine Carpenter, 2650 Lake Court Drive, stated no
one in Silver View Pond wants to see this change, as
they have too much traffic already. She stated the
people from Dominos Pizza are a problem with the way
they speed through the area, and there is also a pro-
blem with the traffic associated with Burger King and
all the high school students racing there on their
lunch hour and after school.
• Mayor Hankner closed the public hearing and reopened
the regular:-meeting at 7:27 p.m.
Mayor Hankner closed the regular meeting and opened
the third public hearing at 7:27 PM.
City Planner Herman explained the intent of the pro-
posed ordinance is to pull similar uses together in
B-2, B-3 and B-4 zoning,
Mayor Hankner explained the process followed for
consideration of an ordinance adoption. She explained
the Council does not have to take action tonight.
They could have the first reading, and if it passes,
the second reading and adoption would follow in two
weeks.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley read the proposed permitted
uses for B-2, B-3 and B-4 zoning.
Mrs. Carpenter questioned why Dominos Pizza was allowed
in B-2 zoning.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated he would have to check
back through the records, but he believed it was under
. bakery and delicatessen.` He explained delivery is not
prohibited, and the ordinance was different at the time
Dominos came in. He added he would check it further
and get back to her.

is to provide services to the residents, and he had
not been aware of a problem with the Dominos drivers.
He stated he would write to the manager and advise
him to abide by the rules and posted speed limits.
Councilmember Quick questioned why there was any
hurry to take action if a tenant is not coming in.
•
City Planner Herman explained that Kraus Anderson has
applied for this, for future use.
Councilmember Blanchard stated the ordinance looks
good with the restrictions that are included, but
without proper policing, it could become a detriment
to the neighborhood.
Mayor Hankner stated she has a problem in supporting
an ordinance change. She added the Planning Commission
did a good job but she feels it is an inappropriate use
within a B-2 zone, and would present problems for the
neighborhood.
Councilmember Quick stated he did not feel it fit
into the B-2 scheme.
11. First Reading
of Ordinance
No. 454
Councilmember Wuori stated the Planning Commission
spent quite a while discussing the issue, and they
realized it could be a problem for the neighborhood.
However,. if they had denied it at the Planning Commission
level, the applicant would have been granted an appeal.
By making a recommendation to the Council, they have
eliminated a longer process.

No. 454, amending the Municipal Code of Mounds View

been received on the Dominos Pizza drivers in the
past year, and he encouraged residents to call with
any complaints they have. He stated they could set
up a radar,, as well as talk to the manager.
Mrs. Carpenter stated Mounds View Drive is bad and
should have radar set up. She stated the road is
not sanded well, and with everyone speeding through,
it is being used as a race track, with the potential
for a problem.
Police Chief Ramacher reviewed the memo from the

of a new police officer. He explained this process

to be done annually,, but due to work load problems,

building inspector,, with known problem buildings
being inspected annually.
