Planning Commission Resolution 573-99 Page 2 residential property is Wildwood Manor, an apartment building for senior citizens, which 1 would be well screened from the proposed use by a stand of trees and separated by the intervening Highway 10. This criterion has been met. c. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. The applicant is proposing to use an existing parking lot which is surfaced with asphalt. This criterion is met. d. The provisions of Section 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met. Adverse Effects: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon(but not limited to)the following factors: (1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. (2) The geographical area involved. (3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. (4) The character of the surrounding area. (5) The demonstrated need for such use. 0 The proposal is for a temporary greenhouse in the parking lot of an existing shopping center. The shopping center is surrounded by roadways and the area where the use is to be located is 1,000 feet from the nearest residential property. The short duration of the use will result in little, if any, effect upon the surrounding area. The sale of flowers and plants is a typical seasonal business in a community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. This criterion is met. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations: 1. The facility shall only operate from March 15 to July 15 of each year. 2. The hours of operation of the facility shall not exceed 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 3. Only the signage shown on the Greenhouse Design Plan shall be allowed. 4. All lighting for the use shall be supplied by existing parking lot lighting and supplemental interior lighting, if needed. 5. The applicant shall deposit funds with the City each year for the use of the fire hydrant in the parking lot and for the use of a hydrant wrench or adapter valve, if one is needed, in amounts to be decided by the Director of Public Works.
