• • MINUTES REGULAR PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 3, 1986 Black, Duncan, Northrup, Grittner, Daykin, Trent-Sullivan and Finegan. Also present was Council Liaison Hard. Mead and Boche. Duncan moved, seconded by Trent-Sullivan, to approve the February 3, 1986 Minutes as presented. Motion carried unanimously. Grittner expressed concern about the Planning Commission making decisions not knowing all the legalities contained in the code and based upon lack of knowledge. Questioned whether an opportunity should be made available at a future meeting for the Planning Commission to familiarize themselves with the code although it would be hard to anticipate every situation they could be confronted with. Members felt the comments were well taken and such a meeting should be scheduled. John Uban reviewed the Snelling/Larpenteur development as it related to parking and why the need to review the parking ratios arose. New restaurants seem to create a need for more parking as the common space should be considered in determining parking needs. He explained how he arrived at the recommended parking ratios. Uban also addressed the drive- in. and delivery restaurant parking needs. Shared parking also needs to be a consideration. After a thorough discussion, Finegan moved approval of the proposed ordinance relating to off street parking and loading contained in Section 9-13.04, Subd. 6 of the Code of the City of Falcon Heights with a recommendation that the language be changed to read: "Off-street parking spaces required (one (1) space equals three hundred (300) square feet)...."
