• Mounds View Planning Commission July 16, 1997 <br /> Regular Meeting <br /> Planning Associate Ericson briefly reviewed the request for the Planning Commission. <br /> The applicants are requesting a variance to locate an air conditioning unit in the front of <br /> their home located a 2209 Bronson Drive. The line running to the furnace is leaking and <br /> needs to be replaced. At the time the air conditioning was installed, the basement was <br /> finished and converted into living space. The existing line is in the ceiling which is <br /> sheetrocked and textured, effectively preventing its removal. Putting the air conditioner in <br /> the front would permit easy access to an unfinished part of the basement in order to install <br /> a new line to where the furnace is located. The applicants propose to landscape around <br /> the unit with shrubs and other plantings to screen it from public view. <br /> Ericson stated that the staff was recommending approval of the Planning Commission <br /> Resolution No. 512-97, granting approval of a variance to allow for the location of an air <br /> conditioning unit in the front yard of 2209 Bronson Drive, subject to stipulations. <br /> Ericson stated that the condition of approval would be maintaining the landscaping <br /> around the unit so that it was not visible from the street. This stipulation is guaranteed by <br /> the Weinmanns providing a $100 check to guarantee that the screening is adequate and <br /> appropriate. <br /> • All Commission Members questioned the type of landscaping that would be used and <br /> stated that the foliage selected be such that it would hide the air conditioning unit during <br /> all seasons of the year. The Commission recommended junipers or some type of evergreen <br /> as a solution to this problem. <br /> The Weinmanns stated that they would install shrubs that would conform to whatever <br /> the Commission recommended as a step to get approval of the variance. <br /> Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Miller to approve Resolution 512-97, "Resolution Recommending <br /> •. <br /> Weinmann, 2209 Bronson Drive, Mounds View Planning Case No. 494-97", as amended. <br /> Chair Peterson asked for a vote on the open motion. <br /> Motion carried: 5 ayes, 0 nays. <br /> 6. <br /> Planning Case No. 491-97 <br /> 2337 Knoll Drive <br /> • <br /> 8 <br />
