MARY: In May of this year, Gateway Foods, representing Brooks Market - 2390 Highway 10, made application for a Conditional Use Permit to allow an automated car wash to be placed on the Brooks property. That application, as originally submitted, also requested the granting of a variance to allow the car wash facility to be located within the required rear yard setback. The Mounds View Planning Commission, after review of the proposal at their May and June Agenda Sessions, denied the request for variance. Specifically, in Resolution No. 363-93, the Commission cited the lack of a demonstrated hardship on the property; a current, reasonable use of the property; the lack of the request being unique to this property; and, the need being self created as reasons for denial. Following Lht Planning Commissions, decision, the applicant, as allowed by Municipal Code, appealed their decision to the City Council level. The :Mounds View City Council, at their July 12, 1993 meeting, concurred with the findings of the Planning commission and directed Staff to prepare a Resolution denying the appeal. Prior to that Resolution being acted upon, the applicant submitted an alternative site plan for consideration. Because no official action was ever taken on the Conditional Use Permit, the Council referred the alternative site plan back to the Planning Commission level for reconsideration. The alternative site plan requires no variances, however, the proposal is still subject to review guidelines outlined in Chapters 40.18 Subd. D (2) and 40.25 Subd. C (2). I have included copies of both sections for your information. This request (the alternative site plan) has been reviewed by the Mounds View Planning Commission and they have recommended approval of the proposal in Resolution No. 367-93. The Mounds View City Council reviewed this request at their September 7, 1993 Work Session. At that time, two main issues were raised concerning the proposal. First, it was suggested that control of the stacking area be provided via striping of the approach to the facility. This would reduce the chance of vehicles waiting Paul Harr Adopt City Council Resolution No. 4422 approving a Conditional Use Permit for a fully automated, free-standing car wash at 2390 Highway 10, Planning Case No. 362-93.
