Mounds View Planning Commission August 18, 1999 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> regarding the issues previously discussed. He stated one of the issues related to whether or not there <br /> were deed restrictions. He stated he had heard there would not be any deed restrictions, however, <br /> he had not received anything in writing or directly from the City Attorney in this regard. <br /> Jopke stated another issue was the possibility that a spot-zoning situation might arise, and that he had <br /> not heard the results of that research, as yet. He stated he would bring this information forward to <br /> the Commission, as soon as he received a formal written opinion from the City Attorney. <br /> Planning Associate Ericson reported on City Council action from their August 9, 1999 meeting. He <br /> stated the City was involved in the process of selling a parcel located at 6991 Pleasant View Drive. <br /> He stated the City had purchased that property for participation in the Housing Replacement <br /> Program. He stated the highest bidder for the property was Marquis Builders, Inc., however, they <br /> had lost their purchaser, and were unable to proceed. He stated the EDA had acted to offer the <br /> property to the next highest bidder, Vista Construction, and the EDA approved that item. He stated <br /> the bids were very close, and the newly proposed house would be larger than that previously <br /> proposed by Marquis. <br /> Ericson stated that Thrifty Car Rental, which had received approval for their busines on July 26, <br /> 1999, had requested the City Council revise the conditional use permit. He stated the applicant had <br /> 4110 taken issue with a stipulation prohibiting trucks on the lot, and had requested the Council reconsider <br /> this stipulation. He stated the Council had denied that request, maintaining the prohibition of trucks, <br /> recreational vehicles, or trailers at that location. He stated the applicant has since indicated that they <br /> would abide by this stipulation, and would commence the operation of their business at 2975 <br /> Highway 10. <br /> B. Upcoming Planning Cases <br /> Planning Associate Ericson stated the public hearing for a variance request for a wider than allowed <br /> driveway on Red Oak Drive had been scheduled for the next meeting of the Planning Commission. <br /> C. Planning Commissioners Journal <br /> Planning Associate Ericson stated the Planning Commission had been provided copies of the latest <br /> edition of the Planning Commissioners Journal, which has an article about citizen surveys, <br /> including recommendations regarding what constitutes a good survey. He stated this was a <br /> helpful article and magazine for informational purposes. He stated that in addition, the Planning <br /> Commission had also been provided with a copy of the previous City Council minutes for their <br /> review, and that staff would continue to provide these minutes, in the future. <br /> 8.
