Mounds View City Council January 11, 2016 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked if staff had conducted the analysis and distance requirements in <br />order for the site to be considered a liquor store. City Administrator Ericson stated staff has not <br />completed this analysis. He reported the site could not be a liquor store until the applicant <br />received a liquor license from the City. He provided comment on the other B2 zoning uses that <br />could operate at this location. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn further discussed the numerous uses that could be brought to this site and <br />supported the property being updated. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller thanked staff for providing the Council with clear definitions of both <br />the B1 and B2 zoning districts. She too feared that another liquor store may not be the proper fit <br />for the site. However, she did support the corner being redeveloped and noted a liquor store was <br />not the only use allowed within the B2 zoning district. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull questioned if a liquor store would bring about a greater depreciation on the <br />neighborhood than the previous convenience store had, due to trash, noise and increased traffic. <br />City Administrator Ericson stated this may be a possibility but noted this would be difficult to <br />quantify given the fact the site already had trash concerns. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty commented the request before the Council was to rezone the property from B1 to <br />B2 and not to approve a liquor store. City Attorney Riggs advised this was the case. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause indicated he had his doubts that another liquor store would thrive <br />in the community. However, this would not keep him from supporting the zoning change as a <br />change from B1 to B2 would offer the applicant more options for the site. <br /> <br />A member of the audience suggested the City place public garbage cans at the corner of County <br />Road I to assist with the trash situation on this property. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Meehlhause. To Waive the First Reading and Introduce <br />Ordinance 912, an Ordinance Approving the Rezoning of 2408 County Road I from B1, <br />Neighborhood Business, to B2, Limited Business. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Hull) Motion carried. <br /> <br />C. Resolution 8500, Appointing City Council Members and City Staff as <br />Representatives for City Commissions and Other Organizations. <br /> <br />Assistant City Administrator Crane requested the Council appoint City Council members and <br />City staff as representatives for City Commissions and other organizations. She reviewed the <br />appointments made in 2015 and requested direction from the Council for the 2016 appointments. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller and City Administrator Ericson were appointed to the Ramsey County <br />League of Local Government.
