• Mounds View Planning Commission June 16, 1993 <br /> Special Meeting Page 2 <br /> tanks are located. Mr. Boulay stated <br /> that he felt that this use is a <br /> reasonable one for the property and that <br /> the impact to the adjoining properties <br /> does not require a 40' setback. He <br /> restated that a car wash is a necessary <br /> part of the convenience store business. <br /> Motion/Second: Colleen/Peterson to <br /> approve Resolution No. 363-93, denying <br /> the variance and conditional use permit <br /> request of Gateway Foods, 2390 Highway <br /> 10. <br /> 4 ayes 1 nay Motion Carried <br /> Commissioner Ruggles voted against the <br /> resolution, stating that he felt the <br /> shape of this particular property made <br /> it difficult for the owner to make use <br /> of his land. He also felt that a car <br /> wash is a necessary part of the success <br /> • <br /> of a convenience store. <br /> Commissioners Nelson and Peterson asked <br /> if the car wash could be placed directly <br /> against the concrete pad. This idea was <br /> dismissed after Planner Harrington <br /> pointed out that this placement would <br /> still impact the adjacent residential <br /> areas, because the cars would be stacked <br /> and idling very near the lot line. <br /> Planner Harrington said that it would be <br /> a mistake to place the car wash only to <br /> meet the setback requirement, without <br /> considering the other factors of the <br /> case. <br /> Commissioner Colleen asked if the <br /> applicant would consider closing off one <br /> of their Highway 10 curb cuts to <br /> alleviate some of the stacking problems. <br /> Mr. Boulay replied that the proposal as <br /> presented makes the most sense overall. <br /> • <br />
