Mounds View City Council July 28, 2014 Regular Meeting Page 3 Council Member Hull asked if access was granted to County Highway 10 if the access point on H2 could be closed. Planning Associate Heller stated this was a possibility, but would be determined by the developer. She further discussed the issues the City was having with the County regarding an access point onto County Highway 10. Mayor Flaherty suggested staff speak with Ramsey County Commissioner McGuire regarding the access matter. He asked if the new building would comply with the County Road 10 Overlay District. Planning Associate Heller explained that this building would not comply due to the fact the Ordinance would not go into effect until September 9th. She reported the building would follow the guidelines; however, the building setbacks would not. MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8283, Approving a Development Review & Developer’s Agreement for new construction on vacant land on County Road 10, west of Woodale Drive; Developer: Build to Suit, Inc. for BioLife Plasma Services.

Planning Associate Heller explained this item would be reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed at the end of the month. Council Member Mueller explained the new facility would bring 40 new jobs to the City of Mounds View. Council Member Meehlhause was pleased that BioLife had chosen to stay in Mounds View. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. B. 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing, Second Reading & Adoption of Ordinance 888, Amending Title 1100 by Adding Chapter 1128, County Road 10 Corridor Overlay District (Roll Call Vote). Planning Associate Heller explained that the City has been discussing the creation of a Corridor Overlay District along County Road 10 in order to give more flexibility to new development projects on the corridor. The City is willing to be flexible on requirements such as setbacks, parking, density and height, but the City also wants projects that are high quality. Planning Associate Heller reviewed Chapter 1128 in the City Code with the Council noting it was created for this overlay district instead of inserting the new language into an existing chapter. She explained the section regarding the City having the option to not require a development area to comply with the overlay district was removed because in 1128.05 the zoning districts that would be applicable are listed. It was noted staff added zoning districts R-3 and R-4 to the listed zoning districts. Staff recommended the Council waive the Second Reading and adopt the Ordinance amending Title 1100 by adding Chapter 1128 which would create a County Road 10 Overlay District.
