Mounds View Planning Commission June 2, 1999 • Regular Meeting Page 5 Ericson referred to the Certificate of Survey, on-site plans, and a graphic display, stating that two areas of the Woodlawn Terrace Apartment complex encroach upon the subject property, near the southern end,toward Woodlawn Drive. He stated that Woodlawn Terrace's dumpster and parking lot cross the lot line, which is in violation of the City Code. He stated that staff would be meeting with the owner of the apartment complex to discuss this and other issues relative to the development of the four-plex. Ericson stated that there were water and sewer lines in Woodlawn Drive so utilities are available to the site. There are ten-foot drainage and utility easements on the property's north and west sides which will more than likely serve as drainage areas for the development. He stated that he would be consulting with the City Attorney regarding a five-foot side yard drainage and utility easement along the east lot line between the two vacant properties to provide for additional drainage. He stated that the City typically requires that an easement be dedicated for that purpose. He noted that the easement would not be privately owned, but retained by the City. He stated, however, that the developer could be required to maintain the easement and that this would be addressed in his discussion with the City Attorney. • Ericson summarized the issues and stated that staff had drafted a resolution recommending approval of the development review for the four-plex, with stipulations. Mike Juaire,applicant, stated that he had submitted the site plan changes as set forth in the second stipulation of the Resolution. Commissioner Hegland asked if the plans contained anything to address the parking situation on the northern most unit. Mike Juaire stated that it was their intention to create two additional parking spaces in the northeast corner of the site, but the plans had not yet been redrawn. Bill Juaire, applicant, stated the end parking spaces will eliminate the back out movement. He stated they were considering putting up signs and striping a no-parking zone in an attempt to alleviate the problem of congestion. They will also have separate operating procedures as an adjunct to their lease. Commissioner Miller asked about the composition of the exterior of the building. Mike Juaire stated that it was comprised of maintenance-free siding and steel doors. Chair Peterson asked if the building location on the lot could be adjusted.
