Mounds View City Council May 24, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 6 1 Mayor Flaherty encouraged Ms. Huffman to speak further with City staff to learn more about the 2 City’s rules and regulations in the B-1 zoning district. He applauded her for her efforts in 3 starting a new business and wished her all the best. 4 5 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Ordinance 845, an 6 Ordinance Amending Chapter 1112.02 of the Mounds View Zoning Code to Add Additional 7 Permitted Uses to the B-1 Neighborhood Business Zoning District. 8 9 Council Member Stigney felt all of the suggested additional uses would be beneficial as 10 neighborhood businesses except thrift stores. He indicated these could have a negative impact on 11 adjacent neighborhoods and Thrift Stores belong in the B-3 zoning district. 12 13 ROLL CALL: Stigney/Hull/Muller/Gunn/Flaherty. 14 15 Ayes – 4 Nays – 1 (Stigney) Motion carried. 16 17 C. 7:15 p.m. Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 7621, a Conditional Use 18 Permit for Outdoor Sales – Farmer’s Market, at 2430 Highway 10 19 (Wynnsong Movie Theater parking lot). 20 21 Planning Association Heller stated the applicant, Amaya Basumatary with PMY Management, is 22 requesting city approval of a conditional use permit to have outdoor seasonal sales in the parking 23 lot of the Wynnsong movie theater. She is proposing to have a farmers market on Saturdays from 24 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the parking lot of the movie theater at 2430 Highway 10 from June 19 25 until October 16 each year. This property is zoned PUD (Planned Unit Development). 26 27 According to the submitted site plan, the market would use about 10-12 parking spaces for 28 vendors in the southern end of the parking lot near Moe’s restaurant. Ms. Basumatary plans to 29 start small this year with a few vendors to see if a farmers market is successful in Mounds View. 30 If the market is successful, she would add more vendors to this location in the future. She has 31 organized other farmers markets and has six vendors ready to participate in Mounds View this 32 year. 33 34 The City Code limits the outside services and sales to 30 percent of the gross floor area of the 35 building. In this case, the movie theater is a very large building so there is no problem with the 36 small area of the parking lot that she is proposing for the market. City staff will monitor the 37 parking situation with the market and the theater - especially if the market is successful and 38 becomes larger. 39 40 Staff has drafted the resolution for the conditional use permit in such a way so that the applicant 41 would not need to appear before the Planning Commission and City Council each year. The CUP 42 will remain in effect indefinitely as long as there are no changes to the operation and there have 43 been no problems or reasons that would warrant the City Council to re-examine the CUP.
