Planning Case DE00-002 Comrnunity Development Director Ericson apologized that this rrmatter was before the Commission because he had said last time the Commission would`not see it again. He then explained that Mr. Mezzenga had been told by Ramsey County tHat"there is a catch basin in the location for the driveway thaf cannot be moved. He further explained that Mr. Mezzenga had suggested cutting drains in the catch basin but Ramsey County would not permit that. � ; Community Development Director Ericson outlined several choices for providing access to the ' development for the Commissiori to discuss. Community Development Director Ericson indicated #hat Commissioner Johnson had said at the last meeting that he thought there was significant discussion concerning no access onto Greenfield. He then explained he fiad reviewed the minutes from that meeting and found that access onto Greenf�eld was not discussed at any length which leads him to believe that the Commission did not give i# mueh consideration because it preferred access onto County Road I. Comrnunity Developmenf Director Ericson indicated that option one would move the driveway closer to Tom Thumb which would take out two parkzng stalls and make the entrance cumbezsome. He indicated that option two would mean the access to the parking lot would be qnly seven (7) feet from Greenfield Avenue. He indicated that option three would be to reconstruct the catch basin but said that Ramsey County has said it wiil not allow that. He indicated that the:last option is to move the access on#o Greenfield Avenue which would zesult in the loss of two parking stalls and make the parking lot setback five feet from the property to the south: Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the City has to give Mr. Mezzenga access and said the matter is nobody's fault but was simply not caught by Ramsey County in the planning stages for the development. Cornmissioner Miller questioned why the catch basin could not be reconstructed.
