Mounds View City Council Apri19, 2007 Regular Meeting Page 5 • Mayor Marly said that the Ordinance reads no outside sale or service shall exist and gasoline pumps are outside. He then said that when they upgrade they might like to do pay at the pump so that maybe should be changed. Community Development Director Ericson said that the Planning Commission discussed that matter and then explained that the intent is to keep pop, pallets of salt, or other things from stacking up outside and will not prevent pay at the pump. Mayar Marty said that it would be nice if the City could get a bit of an easement on the south side of the property line but, as Staff and Council have found out, that property had been there for years and years and the City granted the property lines and now there is a line through a building. Council Member Mueller said that as long as she has lived here this little comrnercial area nas been a wonderful partner to the community and it is extremely convenient for those that live in the area and she is happy that they think enough of the City to expand The Station here rather than leaving. Council Member Flaherty said that this is the only property that has a property line running through a building and he is in favor of making this a conforming property to conform to the Code. • MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Flaherty. To Waive the Reading and Introduce the First Reading of Ordinance 788, an Amendment to the Mounds View Zoning Code: Amend Chapter 1102 to Define a Neighborhood Motor Fuel Station and Amend Chapter 1113 to Allow a Neighborhood Motor Fuel Station as a Conditional Use in a B2 District Council Member Stigney said that this is a good idea to fit into B2 instead of B3 and what is really being done is putting in four fuel dispensing pumps to be able to fuel eight vehicles at one time and that is intensifying the use so he cannot support it. Mayor Marty said that The Station did have four pumps originally, and two were removed a few years ago then, based on need, they are in need of additional pumps to accommodate more vehicles to avoid creating a traffic jam. He then said that they have purchased additional property to eliminate the issues on the property and allow for this expansion. Ayes - 3 Nays - 1(Stigney) Abstain - 1(Hull) Motion carried. D.
