Minutes of the Special Meeting
Held Tuesday, July 12, 1977
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the special meeting of the City Council,
City of Mendota Heights, was held at 7:30 o'clock P.M. in the City Hall, 750 South
Plaza Drive, Mendota Heights, Minnesota.
Mayor Lockwood called the meeting to order at 7:43 o'clock P.M. The following
members were present: Mayor Lockwood, Councilmen Losleben, Mertensotto, Schaberg
and Wahl.
DISCUSSION OF Mayor Lockwood explained the four projects for which
PROPOSED assessment rolls have been ordered. He also acknowledged
ASSESSMENTS that Mr. Fred Metcalfe and Mr. Joseph Rose were present to
discuss details regarding the Clement /Vandall project.
Mr. Metcalfe stated that he was present to discuss flooding
rights and the Somerset 19 desire for vacation of Clement
Street. Mayor Lockwood acknowledged that staff had been directed
to work out details with Somerset 19 on these matters, however,
no agreement on the details has yet been reached.
Councilman Losleben expressed concern over a pedway and the
location thereof either across Somerset 19 property or on
existing street right -of -way. Mayor Lockwood noted that
negotiation for flooding rights is possibly premature, since
neither experience nor past history points to a flooding
problem: there is no rush in any negotiating matters. Since
both parties desire to see the natural amenities maintained
Mayor Lockwood suggested that everyone should await any
future developments. Councilman Losleben noted that the
Wetlands Ordinance and its intent should indicate the City's
attitude on development in the immediate area. Mayor Lockwood
concluded discussion on this matter by noting that both
parties should keep the matters in mind and that no immediate
action is necessary.
