Mounds View City Council August 26, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br />requested were made. He further indicated that the orientation of some of the parking stalls had <br />been changed slightly and there would now be 119 stalls rather than the original 121 but that is <br />still in excess of what the City requires and would allow Jake’s to expand and utilize the <br />basement of their building. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that, on July 22, 2002, Council approved the removal of the theater lot <br />from the PUD so that this development could move forward. He then indicated that the <br />Resolution approved required a development review and rezoning of the parcel. <br /> <br />Director Ericson briefly explained the requirements of the development review and indicated that <br />all requirements have been met. He also noted that the Jacobs have agreed to landscape to fill in <br />gaps in the existing tree line. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that all of the issues in stipulation number 1 have been addressed. He <br />then suggested that the Resolution be amended to state that the curb cut should be 32 feet rather <br />than 30 feet. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty asked why the crushed landscape rock was being replaced with wood <br />mulch or chips. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated the reason the rock was replaced is there was concern that having <br />rocks in the middle of a parking lot could cause issues with those rocks being thrown through <br />windows. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated he would like to add an Item 6 to require that the City Forester <br />be contacted concerning tree and shrub replacement. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that could be added but explained that nothing is done without going <br />through the City forester. He then indicated the City Forester has been out to site and would be <br />included and would review any proposed plantings. <br /> <br />Council Member Marty said he would like to list it as one of the requirements. <br /> <br />Council Member Thomas thanked the Jacobs for working with the City and said that the way <br />they have handled themselves in this matter shows a willingness to work with the neighborhood <br />and the City. <br /> <br />Council Member Quick asked who would maintain the trees to be added to the buffer. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the property is owned by the Jacobs and they would be <br />responsible for maintenance. He then indicated there would be language requiring maintenance <br />of the landscaping and a set time period for a guarantee of that landscaping included in the <br />developer’s contract. <br />
