Item No. 16 6-1 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: Type of Business: WK Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor & City Council From: James Ericson, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and consideration of Resolution 5351, a resolution approving the issuance of a conditional use permit for an outdoor produce sales stand at 2732 Highway 10, requested by Holiday Stationstore Date of Report: July 21, 1999 Background: Chuck Durand, representing the Holiday Stationstore, is requesting a conditional use permit to operate an outdoor produce stand in the parking lot of the Holiday Stationstore, located at the southeast corner of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road from July through October of this year and years thereafter. The produce is planned to be open from dawn to dusk, seven days a week. The stand would be operated by Darcy Ewing of Big Lake, Minnesota. The sales tent is proposed to be 12 feet square and would be located in the grassy area immediately adjacent to the bank of parking stalls at the north corner of the lot. If there are no problems with the operation, the applicant would like the opportunity to operate in subsequent years as was done with Linder's and Merryville farm market. Analysis: This produce stand would be similar to the Merryville operation at Moundsview Square. Signage for the produce stand will be accomplished with small banners affixed to the stand and covering. As was done for the Linder's and Merryville, the conditional use permit for Holiday is drafted in such a way so that future appearances before the Planning Commission and City Council are not required. This allowance is conditioned on many factors, not the least of which is that there be no problems associated with the operation this year. The CUP would then remain in effect indefinitely so long as there are no changes to the operation and the applicant resubmit a letter of intent and site plan each year in advance. CUP Requirements: The criteria for approval of a conditional use permit appear in Section 1114.04, Subd. 5 of the Mounds View Municipal Code. They are as follows: a. Outdoor service, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is limited to thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use.
