Mounds View City Council September 9, 1985 <br />Regular Meeting Page Four <br />Mr. Rich pointed out the building code requires the <br />developer to meet all the requirements of the City, <br />and the Council must be able to rely on City Staff and <br />they can monitor properly. He added that Staff and <br />the Planning Commission have no problems with the <br />proposal. <br />Barb Serwa, 5279 O'Connell Drive, stated she felt <br />Mounds View should follow the Minneapolis code. <br />Theresa Lexa, 5229 Jeffrey Drive read a prepared <br />statement in opposition to the car wash facility. <br />Dennis Richardson identified himself as Ronald <br />Richardson's son, and stated they are planning on <br />constructing a $300,000 building and they will not <br />let it go to waste. He gave examples of many well -run <br />self service car washes in the area and also pointed <br />out that the drainage system and storage tanks they <br />will be having is over and above what Minneapolis <br />requires. <br />Barb Carlson, 5239 Jeffrey Drive, stated that testing <br />was not done of the water pressure with the car wash <br />in operation. <br />Mr. Richardson pointed out the property owners knew <br />the land was zoned B -3 when they purchased their <br />homes. <br />Councilmember Haake explained there is a very extensive <br />list of uses that are allowable in a B -3 zoning, with <br />not all of them being as attractive as what the <br />neighbors might like. <br />Mayor Linke explained the use in question is allowable <br />and a conditional use permit is required to put <br />restrictions on the property. <br />Jim Hass, 5240 Jeffrey Drive, stated he did not want <br />to live next to a car wash. <br />In response to a qu.:2stion from Stan Serwa, Clerk- Administrator <br />Pauley explained that as a result of recent legislative action, <br />the Zoning Code rules in all cases. If the use is compatible <br />with the Zoning it is permitted even if it is in conflict <br />with the Comprehensive Plan. <br />Attorney Meyers reviewed the section of the code that <br />is applicable to this request. He stated that if the <br />property is properly zoned and the developer agrees to <br />meet the conditions set forth, the City cannot deny him. <br />
