Mounds View City Council June 28, 2010 Regular Meeting Page 6 on the recommendations of the Committee. Mr. Battin stated the major consideration of double 1 driveways was the cost for two curb cuts on a single lot. He felt the current property being 2 discussed predated the current Ordinance. 3 4 Council Member Gunn questioned if the pictures provided to Council were recent. Mr. Comben 5 indicated the pictures were taken this spring after the driveway was graded. 6 7 Council Member Gunn expressed concern about setting precedence with other double driveways 8 in the City. She noted the Street Utility Committee created standards that should apply to the 9 entire community. 10 11 Mayor Flaherty indicated the City was willing to take on each resident on a case-by-case basis 12 and did not feel precedence would be set on this case. He explained the driveway has been in 13 this position for over 30 years and was extremely well maintained. Mayor Flaherty noted the 14 second curb cut would be at the homeowner’s expense and recommended allowing the second 15 curb cut. 16 17 Council Member Mueller felt that because single access driveways were not required to be 18 upgraded to be a paved surface, this property owner should not be required to be paved. She 19 stated she would be in favor of a new Resolution approving the second driveway access for Mr. 20 Comben. 21 22 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. Directing Staff to revise Resolution 7637, to show approval 23 of the owner’s requested Waiver or Variance to have two driveway accesses for the property at 24 2832 Woodcrest Drive, acknowledging the homeowner will be responsible for the expense of the 25 second curb cut. 26 27 City Administrator Ericson stated staff would revise Resolution 7637 to state approval of the 28 variance request in the affirmative allowing the double driveway access.

However, he felt the property should not be 34 “punished” for recent Code changes. 35 36 Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 37 38 C.
