All that part of Lot 32, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, Ramsey Co., Minn., described as follows, to-wit: Commencing at a point on the West line of Lot 50, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, which point is 100 feet South of the Northwest corner of said Lot 50; thence South to a line 100 feet Northeasterly from and parallel with the Southerly line of Lot 32; thence Northwesterly on said parallel line 32 feet; thence Northeasterly to the point of beginning. and, PID: 06-30-23-31-0241 The South 135.00 feet, front and rear, of Lot 47, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, lying westerly of the East 187.00 feet. WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View Municipal Code, Section 1125.01, Subd 1(e), states that the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. The Planning Commission considered these on April 5, 2017, making no recommendation. The City Council has considered these possible adverse effects, determining them to be minimal; and, WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View Municipal Code, Section 1125.01, Subd 3(b) states that in granting a conditional use permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan and upon the health, safety and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands. Among other things, the City Council shall make the following findings where applicable (Findings in italics): 1. The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. Findings: The proposed 60-unit apartment will be adequately served by city parks (Groveland Park is two blocks north), and public schools as interpreted by the ISD 621 Finance Director based on the Facilities Task Force Facility Needs Statements of Affirmation and Consultation (March, 2017), and by water/sewer utilities are available from Groveland Rd or Mounds View Blvd. 2. The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. Findings: Sufficient screening and landscaping will be determined through the Development Review process. The site plan, dated March 17, 2017, indicates that a buffer of existing trees will be preserved to buffer the apartments from homes to the north and northeast.
