Item No. 7 C <br /> Staff Report No. <br /> Meeting Date: November 22, 1999 <br /> Type of Business: CONSENT <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br /> From: James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> Item Title/Subject: Set a Public Hearing for 7:10 pm, Monday, December 13, 1999, <br /> for the First Reading (Introduction) of Ordinance 642, an <br /> Ordinance Amending Title 1100 of the Mounds View Municipal <br /> Code (Zoning Code) Chapters 1104, 1107 and 1121 Relating to <br /> Driveways and Curb Cuts. <br /> Date of Report: November 18, 1999 <br /> Background: <br /> Ordinance 642 (attached) is proposed to make the Zoning Code consistent with Chapter 902 <br /> which was recently amended with the Council's adoption of Ordinance 640. In addition to <br /> resolving inconsistencies, this ordinance makes changes to driveway and curb cut widths by <br /> zoning district. <br /> According to Minnesota Statutes, a public hearing is required for this ordinance as it amends the <br /> City's Zoning Code. <br /> Discussion: <br /> After much discussion at many meetings, the Planning Commission on November 17, 1999, <br /> directed staff to draft a resolution recommending approval of this ordinance and to forward said <br /> ordinance to the Council for a public hearing and adoption. <br /> While staff and the Planning Commission feel the ordinance is in its final and most appropriate <br /> iteration, staff would certainly consider any suggested changes from the Council prior to the first <br /> reading or members of the community at the public hearing. This ordinance has been forwarded <br /> to Kennedy& Graven for their review to ensure it is in the proper form. <br /> Staff will be present at the Council's meeting on November 22 if there are questions about this. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Set the public hearing as stated above. <br /> James Ericson, Planner <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\SPECPROJ\SP074-99\MEMO.CC I <br />
