• Mounds View Planning Commission August 3, 1995 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> this four-month period but that the outdoor vacuums are not <br /> used as much during these months. Mr. Harstad noted at <br /> this time that the vacuums could be insulated to alleviate <br /> some noise. <br /> The petition that was received by Planner Harrington today <br /> was breifly discussed. <br /> Planner Harrington informed the Commission that action <br /> could be taken this evening or at the next agenda meeting <br /> since they would be calling to order on another item next <br /> meeting. <br /> The Commission expressed their concern that noise from the <br /> vacuums and the lighting issue was not as much of a concern <br /> as the loud music from the cars and the possible gathering of <br /> people. <br /> • The Commission agreed that the resolution that was drafted <br /> for the July 5th meeting seemed to address their concerns. It <br /> was noted that the six-month trial period would start from <br /> the date of Council approval unless the Planning <br /> Commission decides otherwise. Mr. Harstad feels that he <br /> will know in two to three months if he desires to keep the <br /> facility open 24 hours. <br /> The issue of installing landscaping as a sound buffer was <br /> raised. Chair Peterson stated that vegetation was a good <br /> visual buffer but not as good for sound. He added that a <br /> solid tall fence would be appropriate as a sound buffer. <br /> Mr. Harstad proposed that adding a tree berm in addition to <br /> shutting down the vacuums at 10:00 p.m. would help <br /> alleviate some of the noise problem the residents were <br /> experiencing.. The Planning Commission expressed that <br /> they would like the City Forester, Rick Wriskey, to conduct <br /> a site plan review. <br /> • <br />
