M The proposed project consists of approximately 18 acres of land, and Mr. Nelson showed the location of the property within the City, and how the buildings would be placed on the property. There will be three buildings, totaling 235.000 square feet. One building will be started this summer, one by January of 1990, and the last by January of 1991. Mr. Nelson reviewed access to the property, the planned exterior appearance of the buildings, as well as the proposal for the wetland area. The actual wetland is owned by the school district and Everst Development is proposing to develop two acres as a wildlife pond and nature trail. Ron Peterson, of Westwood Engineering, explained the business park likes partially within the 100' wetland buffer zone, by about 1/10th of an acre. and they have applied for the two required permits, one for encroachment on the wetland and the other for the proposed improvements. Mr. Peterson explained the improvements would be a combination of draining and filling, and they will be enhancing the wetland. All the material • removed will be used for construction of the trail, and any excess will be used in landscaping. He reviewed the requirements of the Mounds View wetland ordinance and how this proposal meets those require= ments. He also stated the wetland pond would be deep enough to be ground water filled. Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the Environ- mental Quality Task Force (EQTF) will be reviewing this proposal again at their May 16 meeting, and they anticipate making a recommendation to the Council then.

Mounds View City Council May 8, 1989 Regular Meeting Page Four --------------------------------------------------------------®--___®®®m®® .Clerk/Administrtor Pauley explained the City would be happy to be the first suburb with a plastic ban, but the Minneapolis and St. Paul laws might become uninforceable very quickly, as they are more restric- tive than the State laws, so they will have to wait and see what the Legislature does. He explained no County funds are available for the plastic containers, and if the City used money out of the general fund, or took payment from residents, they world still have to purchase a specific number. which would be taking a risk. He stated the recycling program is funded entirely out of the County, using the waste management fee from property taxes. Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated the cash recycling bonus offered in other cities has not been successful. He added 'people should be writing letters to the U.S. Congress, as there is a law which makes use of virgin paper more profitable than the use of recycled paper, and he stated Congress must be urged to stop this subsidy.
