She stated <br />Waataja and Gaffron had spent a lot of time with them and they have worked hard to <br />conform to requirements. <br />White asked how the current house got so big. Waataja stated she did not have the street <br />file with her. <br />Sansevere thanked the applicants for attending the meeting. <br />Mayor Peterson moved, and McMillan seconded, to table item 5, Robert and Joanne <br />Switz, 1740 Shadywood Road. <br />Vote: Ayes 5, Nays 0. <br />MAYOR/COUNCIL REPORT <br />Sansevere mentioned the dirt at the intersection of Willow and 6 from construction traffic. <br />He also noted that the properties at Stone Bay are incredibly tight. <br />• Sansevere stated that Mrs. Timm had come in after Public Comments and stated he would <br />like to acknowledge her. <br />• <br />Murphy stated that he had visited the Timm property today. <br />The Excelsior Fire Department will now be handling fire calls in Navarre, as of January <br />1s`. The transition went smoothly. They expect to be in the new station in a few weeks. <br />Regarding the dirt on the roads, Murphy stated that the contractors took some time off. <br />They do usually run a street sweeper, but with the ice and snow it's difficult to sweep the <br />streets. The roads become more hazardous for the large trucks when the roads get greasy. <br />He stated they would discuss the matter with Mn/DOT at the next meeting. He suggested <br />calling himself or Moorse when problems are noticed with the roads so that they can <br />contact Mn/DOT. <br />McMillan stated she had a concern about the road closings due to construction forcing <br />traffic through "Graffiti Bridge." She stated school buses don't even use the route <br />because the bridge is too tight. She hopes Mn/DOT plans to build a new access. <br />Murphy stated he would also bring that issue up to Mn/DOT at the next meeting. Mayor <br />Peterson stated that they were all invited to the Mound Public Safety ribbon cutting <br />5 <br />
