Mounds View Planning Commission June 22, 1988 <br /> Special Meeting Page Five <br /> Mr. Borovsky clarified that Barr Engineering was not <br /> directed by the City Council or Planning Commission <br /> to figure out how to configure the development to meet <br /> the Code, and that should be done by the developer. <br /> Chairman Mountin recommended adding another whereas <br /> to the resolution, that the variance to the 100 ' set- <br /> back should not be viewed as a blanket variance and <br /> may in fact be changed by a redesign of the wetland <br /> alteration. <br /> Savri Ayaz, no address given, stated he feels the <br /> variances should be specific, not general. <br /> Chairman Mountin explained this would be an open <br /> door so that if reasonable alternatives are available, <br /> they will be looked at, and she added there may be a <br /> reasonable alternative here. <br /> Mr. Merila stated he feels precedent was set with <br /> Planning Commission Resolution No. 93-83 , for Dynamic <br /> Designers , as a variance was granted due to a hardship <br /> with many similarities to their proposed development. <br /> He added Edgewood Square was approved with 90 ' lots, <br /> and they are considered to be part of the wetland area. <br /> He added the big issues are lot size and width, and he <br /> illquestioned. if there was a real need for the standards <br /> set for development of the wetlands . <br /> Chairman Mountin replied the variance to build in the <br /> 100 ' buffer is a moot point if the preliminary plat <br /> is not approved. She explained that without the <br /> variances for Dynamic Designers, which was One <br /> lot, it was just not buildable. She stated she was <br /> not certain what the circumstances were for the Eigen- <br /> heer property, but if an error was made, that does not <br /> mean it should be repeated. <br /> Chairman Mountin reiterated that due to time constraints, <br /> the Planning Commission must work with what is before <br /> them, and as there is no request from the developer to <br /> table this to allow time for. the Planning Commission to <br /> review the information received earlier today, action <br /> must be taken now. <br /> Motion/Second: Zollner/Miller to adopt Resolution No. <br /> 229-88 , a resolution of recommendation to the City <br /> Council regarding the Harstad Development Proposal <br /> known as Greenfield Estates. <br /> 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> IIICity Planner.
