He explained that this <br /> case relates to a resident who has a wet area in his rear yard at 8380 Greenwood <br /> Drive, who wants to leave the area to grow in its natural state. Mr. Ericson passed <br /> around a photograph of the area that was taken during the summer. <br /> Mr. Ericson added that Staff is recommending approval of the resolution. <br /> Motion/Second: Stevenson/Brasaemle to adopt Resolution No. 493-97 recommending <br /> amendment of Chapters 606, 607, and 1005 of the Mounds View Municipal Code related <br /> to the requirement to mow tall grasses and creating an exemption for wetland and native <br /> vegetation. <br /> Motion carried: 7 ayes, 0 nays <br /> 7. <br /> Planning Case No. SP-013-97 <br /> Ordinance No. 595: Adding day care centers and group nurseries as a conditional use to <br /> business and industrial zoning districts. <br /> Community Development Director Sheldon explained that this item relates to the <br /> provision in the Zoning Code for group nursery and day care centers and noted <br /> that, at present, these uses are only allowed in residential districts. She added that <br /> the proposed ordinance would add them to the business and industrial districts and <br /> added that Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 495-97. Director <br /> Sheldon noted that in the ordinance, the criteria used for the additional districts is <br /> the same criteria that now appears under the residential districts with some minor <br /> changes to the definition of day care centers and home day care. She explained <br /> that this was done to use the same definitions in the City Code as are used by <br /> State agencies which issue licenses for these facilities. Staff also suggested that a <br /> • definition be added for group family day care. <br />
