• uNAp t 7 g 'A vED Page 5 October 23, 1995 Mounds View City Council 1 highway type commercial uses. The existing gas station on the parcel is a non-conforming use,however the 2 station was there when the property was zoned B-2,so it was"grandfathered in". 3 4 Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m 5 6 MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Hanker to approve Resolution 4832,Denying the Rezoning Request by Gary 7 Krig/Fran DeGross. 8 9xp arced that the major concern in rezoning this property is that it is a commitment by the city to 10 allow a different type of business to operate. It opens the door to any type of business allowed by the new 11 zoning. The B-3 zoning allows for fast food businesses and other high traffic generating businesses and that is 12 the reason the city Planning Commission has selected those businesses to be located on a highway. There are 13 not any businesses of this type on the county roads at this point. If the mechanic business did not prosper or if 14 the lease were terminated,the owner could allow other uses to come in that may not be as desirable to the 15 neighborhood. The rezoning does not fit into the city's Comprehensive Plan of development of what the 16 Planning Commission would like to see for the City of Mounds View. There are also several other options 17 for this business to locate on Highway 10. They have to be located in an area where they do not impact a 18 residential neighborhood in a harmful way. 19 20 Mayor Linke stated he would have to speak against the motion. He feels four business zones for the City of 21 Mounds View is too many. Mounds View is the only city in the metro area that zones in this way. The only 22 thing of the five items that he finds a problem with is(1)Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. 23 The closest single family/residential area is across Co.Rd.I which hits their back yards. He also looks at 24 the need for the area. He therefore,cannot support this resolution,denying the rezoning request., 25 26 Ms.Blanchard stated she knows Mr.DeGross and he is a very good mechanic. She has no objection to him 27 and his business,but she cannot support this because of the location. She does not feel highway business 28 should be in a residential area. This is basically a residential area as it is across from the church and there are 29 apartments behind it. 30 31 Mr.Quick stated he supports the motion,based on the relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. 32 33 Ms.Trude stated there is a multi-family dwelling unit almost directly behind the site and she knows an 34 operation of this type can be noisy at times. Many of the family members in the building work different shifts. 35 She reminded residents that this application is granting the rezoning to the person who owns the land,not to 36 the man who wants to lease the property. 37 38 VOTE: 4 ayes 1 nay(Linke) Motion Carries 39 40 COUNCIL BUSINESS: 41 42 A. Consideration of Request for Reconsideration of Planning Case No.415-95,Glenn 43 Harstad. 44 45 Mr.Harrington explained that at the September 11, 1995 meeting,the council approved a Conditional Use 46 Permit amendment for Mr.Harstad. The amendment allowed the Suds&Shine Car Wash to have an 47 attendant on duty only four hours per day. The 24 hour operation was not approved or included in the 48 Conditional Use Permit amendment. 49
