Henning Variance. <br />As you may recall, John Henning, of 8359 Red Oak Drive, requested a variance to allow for a <br />driveway wider than the allowed 3 5 feet. The Commission directed staff to look into an <br />ordinance revision, which led to the drafting of Ordinance 642. After great lengths of discussion, <br />the ordinance was forwarded to the Council who approved it as suggested by the Planning <br />Commission. The change to the ordinance eliminates the driveway's non-confornuty. As such, <br />Mr. Henning, upon notification of the passage of Ordinance 642, has withdrawn his application <br />for a variance. <br />2. Planning Commission Training Session <br />The planners from the corridor cities of Arden Hills, Blaine, Circle Pines, Mounds View, New <br />Brighton, Roseville and Shoreview are meeting to arrange a series of training session sponsored <br />by the I-35 W Corridor Coalition. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together the Planning <br />Commissions from each corridor city for a joint session of networking, training, discussions <br />regarding what works and what doesn't, public meeting rules and regulations; and to educate the <br />commissions as to the purpose and intent of the I-35W Corridor Coalition. Most of you already <br />have a good understanding of what the Coalition is and its purpose; this meeting will build on that <br />and in addition provide valuable training tailored to the needs of the commissions. The first of <br />these meetings has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 22, 2000. The time and place have yet <br />to be determined; but because Mounds View is centrally located within the Corridor, it is likely <br />the event (at least the first one) will be held at our Community Center. Staff will keep you <br />updated as more information becomes available. <br />` � <br />
