Mounds View Planning Commission December 1, 1999 Regular Meeting Page 3 Planning Associate Ericson stated the resolution before the Planning Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit and the development review for this site, with stipulations. He stated the first stipulation indicates "The design and character of the expanded areas shall match and compliment the existing architecture of the Church," and the applicant plans to proceed in this manner. The second stipulation indicates "The existing non-conforming parking lot setback shall be allowed to persist until such time that the parking lot is reconstructed or resurfaced and the non-conformity can be corrected." Commissioner Miller inquired if the word "remain" or "exist" would be more appropriate than the word "persist." Planning Associate Ericson stated this was the intent, and the language could be amended to indicate"...shall be allowed to remain." Planning Associate Ericson stated the third stipulation indicates "Two additional parking stalls shall be marked and posted as "handicapped" to comply with ADA requirements." He advised there are currently two such parking stalls on the site. The fourth stipulation indicates "The applicant shall be responsible for recording the City Council resolution of approval with Ramsey County within 60 days of final approval," which is a standard stipulation with any conditional use permit. Planning Associate Ericson stated there appear to be no unresolved issues with this proposal. He indicated there is a wetland on the site, however, the expansion development area will not encroach into the 100-foot wetland buffer zone. He explained that the existing parking space is adequate to meet the requirements for this use, even in light of the additional space that will be added with the expansion. He stated in staff's perspective, this request warrants a recommendation of approval. Commissioner Miller noted the dimensional requirements listed on Page 2 of the Staff Report, which indicates the parking lot setback (north), at 5 feet, required, and 80 feet, proposed. She inquired if this represents the setback from the street, although there is a structure between the street and the parking lot. Planning Associate Ericson indicated that a portion of the parking lot is located between the two buildings, and the measurement was taken from this point. Commissioner Miller stated the first paragraph, last sentence, on Page 4 of the resolution indicates "...it is not anticipated that the use will not cause...,"and requested the second word "not" be omitted. Planning Associate Ericson stated staff would make this correction. Commissioner Stevenson noted the resolution indicates Planning Case 574-99, however, the Staff Report refers to Planning Cases 574-99 and 575-99. He requested clarification. 110
