Mounds View Planning Commission July 21, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 6 • Ericson stated that the specific requirements pertaining to outdoor sales in this district appear to be addressed satisfactorily, and that there does not appear to be any adverse impacts from this use. He added that there were no problems associated with abutting residential properties. Commissioner Stevenson asked if the stand location shown on the site plan was located within the City's right-of-way or the Highway 10 right-of-way. Ericson stated that the proposed stand would be on the applicant's property, not in the City's easement area or the MnDOT right-of-way. He stated that the parking lot was set back 30 feet from the property line, and that there was sufficient room for the produce stand. Commissioner Stevenson explained that, at one time this was the location designated for the Mounds View monument type marker, and if they were to proceed with that project in the future, they probably would not want a produce stand located on the back side of the monument marker. Ericson stated that, as the conditional use permit was reconsidered on an annual basis, if the Council and Planning Commission determined that the produce stand should be eliminated or moved elsewhere, they could bring it back before both bodies and addressed at that time. Chair Peterson noted a diagonal line in the north corner of the lot as indicated on the site plan, and requested the clarification of the notation appearing to refer to the gateway area easement. Ericson stated that during the planning of the Holiday Stationstore and the Silverview Estates planned unit development, one of the requirements of the development agreement was that the owners dedicate to the City of Mounds View that triangular portion at the north corner of Silver Lake Road and Highway • 10. He stated that it was on that piece of land, that the City would, at some time in the future, construct a gateway monument. He stated that an easement has been filed with the County dedicating the land to the City for that purpose. Chair Peterson stated that it appeared from the site plan, that line was approximately 15 feet closer to the highway than the proposed location of the produce stand. Ericson stated that this was somewhat correct, noting however, that the line was not to scale, and that there would be approximately 25 feet between the stand and the City's easement area. Council Member Stigney asked if the proposed stand would be removed in October. Ralph Durand, representing the applicant, stated that it would. Chair Peterson requested clarification regarding the design of the structure. Mr. Durand stated that it would be a temporary tent, approximately 12 feet square, tied down on four sides. He stated that there would be tables under the tent,and a few bushel baskets with produce off to the side. He stated that Darcy Ewing,would be operating the stand,and he operated such stands within the Big Lake area. He stated that they would be specializing in competitively priced, home grown produce, and that he believed it would be of benefit to the community. Chair Peterson asked if stakes would be required to sustain this type of a structure, and if so, would they interfere with the underground tanks. Mr. Durand stated that the tanks were not located in the grassy area. He added that the tanks are covered with a one-foot concrete slab. Mr. Durand stated that they were very anxious to see the Mounds View monument marker erected, and added that when that happens, they have other locations that would be appropriate for the produce stand, which would not interfere with the project.
