MoUt�mS V[Ew Item No: 7B Meeting Date: August 26, 2013 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Discussion about Tires N' More, 2832 County Road 10, Conditional Use Permit Parking Lot Deadline Introduction: In April 2012, the building previously known as the "PAK building" at 2832 County Road 10 was purchased by the Soussi family, owners of tire and auto repair shops, who planned to open a Tires N' More shop. The property is zoned B-3, Highway Business, and automotive repair uses require a conditional use permit. The City Council approved a CUP for the business on August 27, 2012 with the following conditions: 1. The applicant must install a parking lot with the minimum required number of parking spaces and curbing. The parking lot construction may be done in phases, but must be completed by September 1, 2013. If required, a permit from Rice Creek Watershed District must be approved before the City will issue a permit for the parking lot construction. 2. The applicant must install a minimum six foot tall privacy fence along the west side of the property to provide screening for the adjacent residentially zoned properties. The privacy fence must be installed by September 1, 2013. 3. The applicant must receive a satisfactory inspection report and comply with all orders from the Mounds View Fire Marshal. 4. This Conditional Use Permit may be reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council if any problems develop or if there are any changes to the operation deemed substantial enough to warrant such a review, in the estimation of the City Administrator or the City Council. The Fire Marshall required that a sprinkler system be installed in the building, and this was completed December 21, 2012. The fence was recently installed and complies with the CUP requirement. The outstanding issue that remains for the CUP is the installation of a parking lot (including curbing) that is supposed to be done by September 1, 2013. Discussion: The previous owners of the building at 2832 County Road 10 had originally intended to redevelop the property along with the CVS development, and was working with Velmeir (the CVS developer) on improving the parking lot and sharing the County Road 10 driveway access. The rear parking lot of the Tires N' More building was removed by Velmeir in anticipation of reconstruction that would be done along with CVS's parking lot. The previous owner of the Tires N' More building did not sign off on the plans, so Velmeir did not complete the 2832 County Road 10 building's parking lot and it remains uncompleted.
