Item No: 10D Meeting Date: November 22, 2004 Type of Business: Council Business Administrator Review: _________ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View City Council From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Consideration of a Request to Amend the Approved Site Plan for the CVS Pharmacy Development Located at 2800 County Road 10 Introduction: On May 24, 2004, the City Council approved Resolution 6270, which approved the proposed site plan, dated May 20, 2004, for the CVS Pharmacy development located at 2800 County Road 10. The Velmeir Companies, represented by Jim LaValle, has submitted a proposal, at the request of Rick Perrozi, to amend the approved site plan. Mr. Perrozi, representing the owners of the Pak building, would like to change the location of the perimeter curb. Discussion: The site plan that was approved by Council on May 24, 2004 (attached) shows the curb line to the west of the CVS building as running parallel to the Pak building and being set back five feet from the Pak building. The intent of placing the curbing in that location was to allow ninety degree parking along the east side of the Pak building. The curbing was placed from the access point on County Road 10 all the way to the south side of the Pak building. When the site plan was discussed by the Planning Commission and City Council last spring, both bodies agreed that they wanted to leave a solid curb along the Pak building and not allow for a curb cut to the north of the Pak building at that time. The City Council and the Planning Commission both felt it was important to prevent potential thru traffic between ABC Liquor and CVS Pharmacy. The Council and the Commission did not want vehicles to be able to cut through the Pak building parking lot to get to CVS, but instead wanted traffic to use the appropriate access from County Road 10. Both the Council and the Planning Commission agreed that when the Pak building was redeveloped, they would consider a joint access during the development review. If perimeter curbing were installed at the Pak building site as part of a redevelopment or revitalization, it would stop traffic from cutting through the area. On August 23, 2004, The Velmeir Companies approached City Staff requesting a change in the site plan. The property owner of the Pak building no longer wanted a shared parking lot with CVS. Staff administratively granted a site plan change that moved the curb line to the shared property line, but still continued the curb to the Pak building. The Staff approved change is attached. Although it was a site plan change, it still met the intent of preventing thru traffic, which both the Council and the Planning Commission made clear was important.
