Mounds View Planning Commission June 16, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 7 • Applicant: PMJ Group (Mike Juaire) The applicant's representative, Phil Juaire, was present. Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows: The applicant has requested approval of a development review for the fourplex to be located at 7613-7619 Woodlawn Drive,currently vacant property. The applicant has purchased this lot through the Ramsey County tax-forfeit auction and is also the owner of the adjacent lot to the west, for which the Planning Commission already recommended approval of a separate development review. He stated that the City Council has approved the first Development Review, and that construction on the project has commenced. He stated that all of the Planning Commission's and staff's requested modifications had been accomplished. He also stated that the applicant had agreed to sign a statement indicating that he would dedicate an easement. He provided the Commissioners with the updated and revised landscape plan, with minor modifications, which were recommended by the City Forester. He stated that the property owner to the north had indicated that she would dedicate an easement to the County Road I storm sewer catch basin. He explained that this was the City's preferred option to address the drainage issue. He stated that the encroachments from Woodlawn Terrace would be removed. • Ericson provided the Commissioners with the site plan and floor plan for the second development, which show a two-story structure built at grade level (no basements) with the four dwelling units lined in a row. Ericson stated that the fourplex would consist of three 3-bedroom units and one 2-bedroom unit. All of the units,with the exception of the 2-bedroom unit, will have a two-car tuck-under garage. The 2-bedroom unit will only have a one-car garage, but will have two parking spaces in front of the unit. He stated that the setbacks, lot width and area, and all dimensional requirements have been met. He stated that the applicant is not proposing to finish the lower level at this time.

Chair Peterson asked if the lower level of the 2-bedroom unit would be finished.
