City of Falcon Heights <br />Planning Commission Minutes <br />• October 28, 2003 <br />Chair Tom Lageson called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Commissioners Tracy, Lageson, Lukermann, Maher, Heideman, DeLeo, Ziebarth. <br />Member Lindstrom. Also present was Staff Liaison Deb Jones. <br />ABSENT: Commissioners De Leo, Harris, Ryan, Council Member Lindstrom <br />The minutes of the October 28, 2003, meeting were approved. <br />INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS <br />Staff liaison Deb Jones reported to the Commission on the parking situation on Garden Avenue, as <br />requested by the Commission in May. The number of non-resident cars on the street has not <br />increased this fall and, according to Staff observations, seems to have gone down a little. Twin City <br />Co-op is now offering reasonably priced parking in its north lot, which seems to have taken some of <br />the pressure off. The Mayor's letter (placed on windshields) and the winding up of construction <br />projects on campus may also have had an effect. Parking restrictions on the curves are still under <br />consideration. The Commission did not take any further action on the matter but thanked the Staff for <br />following up. <br />Commissioner Lukermann pointed out that non-residents would probably not be aware of Falcon <br />Heights snow parking regulations and asked if they are getting tagged. Jones replied, yes, all cars <br />• parked illegally during the snow emergency are getting tagged. <br />Ms. Jones reported to the Commission that the City Council reviewed the Farmer's Market's interim <br />use permit at their last meeting. The season went very smoothly. The only complaint turned out not <br />to be related to the Market; all the rest of the feedback received from the community was positive. <br />Commissioner Lukermann asked if the Farmers Market had benefited from the location change. <br />Jones said she would attempt to find out. <br />There is a public hearing before the City Council tomorrow night on the vacation of portions of the <br />frontage road on the east side of Snelling. There will be permanent access easements across the <br />Dino's/Falcon Crossing portions being vacated. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:24 p.m. to a brief workshop on the zoning code. <br />Respectfullyvsubmitted, <br />~~" ~'~4 <br />Deborah Jones, Staff Liaison <br />• <br />City of Falcon Heights -Planning Commission Meeting of November 25, 2003 -Page 1 of 1 <br />
