Page 5 APPHc . VED • May 27, 1997 Mounds View City Council layout,which provided gentler curves on the service drive. One option could include a reduction in the square footage of one of the office buildings from 5,000 square feet to 4,000 square feet. Mayor McCarty stated rather than reducing the square footage,which also reduces the value of the property and ultimately the amount of tax dollars collected,he wondered if it would be possible to consider a reduction in parking spaces on an interim basis,until such time as increasing it is deemed necessary. By doing so,the city could maintain a higher market value of the property. Ms. Sheldon noted that the type of use for the office building would certainly dictate the parking required. She believes a parking variance could be requested at the time of development to adjust the parking spaces. One option would be to leave the square footage of the office building at 5,000 and note that the parking requirements would be determined at the time of development. Mayor McCarty suggested that the square footage on the Parcel 3 office building be changed back to 5,000 square feet so that the city can maintain the option until the parking issue has been resolved. Ms. Sheldon noted that the applicant has also requested that the restaurant site also include offices as a use, which has been included. Mr.Mike Black of Royal Oaks Realty provided the City Council and staff with a packet of information, 1111 including an illustration showing the existing parcels and the proposed buildings on the site. He stated he thinks their development will improve the image of the city and requests the council's consideration of the general concept plan of their proposed development. Council member Trude asked why they feel it is necessary to put a gas station,fast foot restaurant,convenience store,etc.together. Mr.Black stated this is where the market is driving them. It basically is geared toward one-stop shopping.
