Councilman Haik cautioned that the City would be held to the plan as it is presented if conditions are not documented. Mr. Vickrey agreed that the Council should document any differences they had with the plan within the 30 days they had following the Public Hearing which had been set by the Zoning Ordinance. Mrs. Chester Nelson, 3916 Macalaster Drive, was present and the Mayor read her comments favoring the retention of the existing "Residential" zoning for the property saying there is a great need for such land use now and the need will only be intensified with time. Mrs. R. E. Pettijohn, 3913 Penrod Lane, as a relatively new resident of the area, said she was present to request she be given 30 days to establish with her neighbors "a list of what is adequate for the neighborhood" . Councilman Stauffer repeated several questions she had regarding specific items in the Board' s minutes for the hearing which Mr. Fornell had attempted to clarify in his memorandum of June 27th. She agreed that land and floor area shall be by type of business and that the conditional uses set up in the City Zoning Ordinance shall be included in the listing of uses per- mitted under the Hedlund plan with the exception of drive-ins and liquor stores or lounges, which will be prohibited. She questioned the conditions set by the Board for "Nuisance Controls" saying she preferred to have the utility mechanics and meters kept to the sides of the proposed commercial buildings so that they could- not be- seen • from Silver Lake Road as well as from the residential area to the east. Under VI (Scheduling Component B) she wanted stipulated that the land- scaping which is required pertains to the first four residences which are required to be constructed first. Mayor Miedtke suggested that rather than requiring the basement floor to be poured the condition be reworded to required the rough framing be com- pleted which would protect the new cement from the elements. Councilman Stauffer also wanted the condition regarding the existing house changed to stipulate that structure "will either be remodeled or removed" . Councilman Haik questioned what "financial capability to complete the project" was to be required and the Mayor said the securing of mortgages for the buildings would probably indicate such capability. He then said he felt the plans as presented provided more protection for the residential area to the east since it called for more homes to be built than any pre- vious proposal and gave the City far more control over usage. He saw no merit in further delay of a decision on the plan. Motion by Councilman Sundland and seconded by Councilman Haik to table action until the July 12th Council meeting on the Concept Development Plan for a P.U.D. for Lots 10-16 , Block 6, Mounds View Acres, Second Addition in order that the Council members and staff may have more time to work on . the conditions under which approval may be given.
