APPROVLD Page 5 • December 9, 1996 Mounds View City Council Mr.Erickson,Planning Associate,explained that this is a request from Larry Beach on behalf of the property owners of 7532 and 7540 Silver Lake Road. This request would move 12.5 feet from the North side of the property at 7532 Silver Lake Road to the South side of 7540 Silver Lake Road. Mr.Erickson noted that staff is requesting that the Council table this request due to the fact that they do not have a signed drainage and utility easement from the applicant. MOTION/SECOND: Hankner/Blanchard to table this item until the applicant has submitted documents required by the city. • VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried C. Re-Consideration of Resolution No.5042,Approving an Amended Conditional Use Permit and a Development Review for Expansion of the Saturn Dealership at 2375 and 2395 Highway 10. Ms. Sheldon explained that at the last Council meeting,there was a request from Saturn Development on behalf of Saturn Dealership to obtain approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow for the expansion of the dealership onto property to the North of their existing site. At that time the Council did pass a resolution approving that request but during the course of the discussion there were some conditions that were changed. The two that are of concern to Saturn Dealership have to do with the loudspeakers system and the bay doors on S the service building. Staff therefore has made some word change suggestions which would bridge the gap between the company's concerns and the council's concerns. She proceeded to outline these. Ms.Sheldon noted that notices were sent to residents in the surrounding area and only two were present at the Planning Commission meeting to comment on the expansion. These residents did not mention the bay doors. One stated a concern about the lighting(the resolution does contain language to state that lights must be turned off at 10:30 p.m.)and some discussion was in regard to the paging system. Mr.Price of Saturn Dealership was present and explained that if the conditions made by the Council stay in place,their company does not feel they can proceed with the proposed improvements. They like to limit the paging as much as possible, but they find this system to be necessary. He noted they do have controls for the system and could see that it is turned off at a specified time each evening. Council member Quick asked if Mr.Price would be willing to remove the paging system if there are complaints expressed in the future. Mr.Price stated he would be open to talk about it. However,one complaint should not constitute a removal of the system. He noted that he is not aware of any complaints in regard to their paging system. Council member Quick noted that the City has received complaints on the paging system at their dealership. A short discussion followed in regard to how often the paging system is used. Mr.Price estimated that it is used twice per hour when they are open. Council member Quick stated when the City was considering a Conditional Use Permit for a car wash, residents complained about the Saturn Dealership paging system,saying they know all of the sales people at the dealership by name. Obviously therefore,the system is a little more adequate than necessary. Council member Hankner asked when the gas tanks on the property will be removed.
