Mounds View City Council October 24, 2016 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br />the November 14, 2016 City Council meeting. 1 <br /> 2 <br />Mayor Flaherty requested staff provide the Council with a rendering of how a home would look 3 <br />on this property with a 30-foot setback at the next Council meeting. He believed this would 4 <br />assist him in deciding if the 30-foot setback was out of character with the neighborhood. He also 5 <br />wanted to learn more about the conversations the applicant has had with the apartment dwelling 6 <br />regarding the drainage easement. 7 <br /> 8 <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked if the non-action taken by the Planning Commission was a 9 <br />concern. Planner Sevald stated it was his understanding the Planning Commission’s action was a 10 <br />denial of the Variance request and noted the 60-day time period began again when the applicant 11 <br />submitted an appeal. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Council Member Mueller discussed the action the Council took recently regarding granny pods. 14 <br />She believed it would look out of character with the neighborhood to have a home on this lot 15 <br />with a 30’ setback. She looked forward to discussing the appeal with the applicant in November 16 <br />and hoped he would have a new floor plan for the home. 17 <br /> 18 <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 19 <br /> 20 <br />F. Resolution 8652, Approving the Hire of Miles Wakumoto to the Position of 21 <br />Mounds View Police Officer. 22 <br /> 23 <br />This item had been removed from the agenda prior to the meeting. 24 <br /> 25 <br />G. Resolution 8651, Approve Design and Authorize Seeking Quotes for 26 <br />Stormwater Improvement at 2255 Lambert Avenue. 27 <br /> 28 <br />Public Works Director Erickson requested the Council approve the design and authorize seeking 29 <br />quotes for Stormwater Improvement at 2255 Lambert Avenue. He indicated this project would 30 <br />be partially funded by a grant the City received in June 2016. He described the work that would 31 <br />be completed through the project and recommended approval of the request. It was staff’s hope 32 <br />the project would be completed prior to the end of 2016. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Council Member Mueller understood City funds would be used for this project due to the fact 35 <br />there was a City easement on the property. Public Works Director Erickson stated this was the 36 <br />case. 37 <br /> 38 <br />Council Member Mueller asked if Rice Creek Watershed approved of the plans. Public Works 39 <br />Director Erickson reported staff has been working through this project with the Rice Creek 40 <br />Watershed and the City did have their support as the overall water quality would be improved. 41 <br /> 42 <br />Council Member Mueller questioned where this water would be piped to. She did not want the 43 <br />water pushed behind Pinewood Elementary. Public Works Director Erickson stated he would 44 <br />have to report back to the Council with this information. 45
