Mounds View Planning Commission July 21, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 3 10 of some of the plantings that are sickly or dying, no specific plans have been submitted for this. Staff will discuss this matter with the applicant and the City Forester and will make specific recommendations in this regard. Ericson stated that there was discussion of the general criteria, which applies to any conditional use permit and the specific criteria which applies to this type of use, and that all of these criteria were met. He stated that this location has a long history of automotive uses, and the zoning of the property is commercial although the comprehensive plan indicates a low-density residential designation. Ericson stated that due to the long-standing commercial history at this location and the impending revision to the comprehensive plan, which could re-designate this parcel to a commercial use, staff feels that the inconsistency with the comprehensive plan could be temporary. He added that staff believes a residential use would not be appropriate at this property which is located at the intersection of Highway 10 and Spring Lake Road. Ericson reviewed the stipulations of the conditional use permit as outlined in the resolution. He stated the resolution also addresses conditional use permits pertaining to previous uses at this location. He stated that the first paragraph of Page 5 of the resolution provided that all previous conditional use permits on file with this property would become"revoked, rescinded and considered null and void", and that this language had been approved by the City Attorney. Commissioner Miller noted a discrepancy in regard to the hours that the applicant had proposed, a 7:00 a.m. start time, and the conditional use permit, which indicates an 8:00 a.m. start time. Ericson asked the Commission if a 7:00 a.m. weekday start time would be acceptable. Chair Peterson stated that it was the consensus of the Commission to direct staff to amend the resolution to indicate the commencement of business to be 7:00 a.m. Commissioner Kaden asked if the Director of Public Works would examine and verify the drainage considerations, if a business or homeowner desired to expand their impervious surface. Ericson stated yes. He explained that typically, the Public Works Department or the City Engineer would be consulted. He added that, in this case, he had forwarded the site plan to SEH who analyzed how the additional impervious surface would impact the site, and it was believed that there would not be a problem. He stated that the drainage, accomplished with two catch basins in the parking lot area, would not be compromised. MOTION/SECOND: Laube/Johnson.
