Mounds View Planning Commission June 2, 1999 • Regular Meeting Page 6 Ericson stated that it could not, but the building itself could be wider, explaining that there was a 20 foot setback to the west. He stated, however,that this would not increase the function of the parking area or the building itself. Chair Peterson asked if there were plans to develop the second lot in the future. Mike Juaire stated they were preparing paperwork which would be submitted shortly. Ericson stated that the lot was relatively flat but with a one foot change in elevation, proper grading, providing channels and swales, and given the sandy consistency of Mounds View soils, he believed the property would drain but may result in standing water for a short period of time (an hour). Commissioner Kaden asked about the exterior lighting which, he noted, was not indicated in the building plan revision. Mike Juaire stated that there was existing exterior lighting for each entryway, and that floodlighting was planned for the back of the structure. Ericson stated that plan will need to be submitted prior to Council consideration. Commissioner Braathen requested clarification of how they planned to divert the water run-off. He . asked if it would drain onto County Road I, and if so, where from that point. Ericson stated that the driveway could be built up to divert the water to remain on the property, or diverted from the existing building to the west. He stated that the volume of run-off was minimal, and that a major portion of storm water would be absorbed before reaching County Road I. He stated that he had spoken to Public Works Director Ulrich who agreed, and stated that the utilization of the ten inch drainage pipe would sufficiently accommodate the run-off. Commissioner Berke asked if parking was allowed on Woodlawn Drive. He stated that the applicant planned to place a parking stall on the south side, and asked if there would be room for visitor Wig. Bill Juaire stated that he believed parking was restricted on one side of Woodlawn Drive. Ericson stated that the applicant was required to provide only 2.5 parking spaces per unit, and was not required to provide visitor parking. He agreed this level of parking may not be sufficient for an open house event but visitors could park on the street prior to 2 a.m. Commissioner Stevenson stated that he is not satisfied with the landscaping plan and would like the site plan reviewed by the City Forester for additional plantings and landscaping design. He stated that it should be specified that some of the green area on the site plan contain plantings. 1110
