Mounds View Planning Commission September 3, 1997 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> pertinent to a given application/request. After this process is done the Planning <br /> Commission is presented with the findings so that it may make a decision based on the <br /> appropriate facts. <br /> Commissioner Miller told Werner that each Commission member has a book containing <br /> with copies of the City's current Codes and Ordinances. Each application/request that <br /> comes before the Commission is studied to make sure that all applicable Codes and <br /> Ordinances are considered before a decision is made. <br /> Mr. Werner asked how much the citizens' opinions are considered in the decision making <br /> process. <br /> Commissioner Brasaemle stated that decisions are made by the Planning Commission <br /> based on if the particular request/application meets the guidelines set by the City's Codes <br /> and Ordinances and personal feelings have to be left out of the decision making process. <br /> Mr. Werner stated that his perception is that the Commission is making decisions without <br /> having all of the facts that might pertain to a given request/application. He added, in his <br /> • opinion, the City does not have a good overall comprehensive development plan. <br /> 4. <br /> Planning Case No. 487-97 and 504-97 <br /> 2637-2655 Highway 10 <br /> Applicant: MSP Real Estate <br /> Development Review of the revised site plan for Silver Lake Commons residential development, <br /> and Minor Subdivision to combine two vacant lots into one onto which ten townhouse-styled <br /> dwellings would be constructed. <br /> The applicant, MSP Real Estate, was present. <br /> Associate Ericson gave the Commission a brief background on the case as follows: <br /> There are two actions before the Commission for consideration: (1) the development <br /> review and (2) a Minor Subdivision which is required to combine the two vacant lots that <br /> would make up the property for the new townhomes.
