Mounds View Planning Commission March 17, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 3 4. Planning Case No. 548-99 2523 Highway 10 Consideration of Resolution No. 573-99, a Resolution Recommendation Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Outdoor Flower Mart. Applicant: Linder's Greenhouses The applicant was not present. Planning Associate Ericson reviewed this case explaining that Linder's has received a conditional use permit for this use at this site for the last five years. He reported that there have been no problems associated with this use during that time. He went on to say that only two percent of the parking is used while the City Code requires that accessory outdoor sales and service uses shall not exceed 30 percent of gross floor area of the principal use. He added that Linders is about two percent of Mounds View Square, taking up 12 stalls in the parking lot. The flower mart would operate from about April 15 to July 7. He added that the water for the use is • obtained from the nearest hydrant and the fees for the water and the appropriate deposits for the needed equipment are paid to the City accordingly. He added that there has been no impact on the residential areas. He went on to inform the Commission that Linder's has requested that the conditional use permit be approved administratively from year to year versus going through the conditional use permit process each time. He explained that the resolution before them does not put an expiration date on the conditional use permit, but added that one of the conditions state that if there are any changes or complaints related to this case, that it would be brought back before the City for review. He added that the other conditions noted in the resolution are the same as in previous years and he proceeded to review them. He added that the conditional use permit would remain in force as long as the conditions are satisfactorily met. He informed the Commission that Minnesota Statutes indicates that this resolution would be valid. The Planning Commission made a couple of revisions to the proposed resolution: Item 5, Page 2, be changed to "....hydrant wrench and adapter valve..."; Item 8, Page 3, be changed by adding "...be reviewed by the Planning Commission and the City Council..." Motion/Second: Johnson/Hegland to approve Resolution No.573-99 as amended, Resolution Recommending to the City Council Approval of the Conditional Use Permit Request by Linder's Greenhouses, Moundsview Square; Planning Case No. 548-99.
