• Mounds View Planning Commission May 21, 1997 Regular Meeting Page 4 Mr. Miller that the Planning Commission presently does not get involved with building characteristics partly because there are no standards that apply to the City as a whole. Mr. Ostrander clarified that CITGO did perform a study which indicated that the look of the proposed building is appealing to the public. Commissioner Johnston read an excerpt from the Mounds View Code regarding the criteria for approval of B-3, minor auto repair facilities, and how they pertain to architectural appearance. Chair Peterson added that property owners have certain rights to build in certain zoned districts. He continued by saying that this property is zoned B-3 which allows the current proposal. Chair Peterson asked Mr. Ericson if there were any outstanding issues remaining. Mr. Ericson explained that in addition to the lighting issue, the revised landscape plan must be addressed and easement documents must be prepared. Motion/Second: Stevenson/Brooks to approve Resolution No. 500-97 with conditions as discussed by the Planning Commission. The needed revisions of the landscaping and lighting were briefly discussed. Chair Peterson explained to the audience that the action taken by the Planning Commission that evening was a recommendation to the City Council and that various minor details could be worked out prior to Council action. Commissioner Obert expressed that he felt the applicant should be allowed to keep the wall packs in the rear of the building on all night and it was decided that a condition would be added that indicates the overhead lighting must be turned off at night which meant that turning off any other lighting would be up to the discretion of the applicant. Motion Carried. 7 ayes, 0 nays Chair Peterson informed the applicant that the next step would be City Council action on April 14th. 6.
