Mounds View Planning Commission June 7, 2017 Regular Meeting Page 2 ________________________________________________________________________ Planner Sevald stated the applicant, St. Cloud Industrial Products, was requesting approval of a Development Review for the property at 4821 Mustang Circle. He reviewed the plan for the parcel in detail with the Commission, commenting on the building expansion, parking and landscaping plans. Staff recommended the Planning Commission approve the Development Review as requested. Vice Chair Love stated she met the applicant, Jim Schiffler this morning and understood he had concerns regarding the landscaping requirements. She explained she had concerns with the location of the fuel tanks given the fact they would drain into Rice Creek. Commissioner Schiltgen requested further information on the parking situation. Planner Sevald explained the shared parking easement would tie the three properties together and would remain in place even if one of the sites were sold to another user. Commissioner Klebsch questioned if the trash enclosure should be located directly adjacent to one of the fuel tanks. Planner Sevald discussed the setbacks for fuel tanks and stated this would be reviewed by the Fire Chief. Commissioner Klebsch stated she would like to see additional buffering put into the plan along the property line with the mobile home park. Jim Schiffler, President of St. Cloud Industrial Products, thanked the Planning Commission for their time. He introduced himself to the Commission along with the companies that would be relocating to this property. He reported the company was entirely employee owned and he prided himself on being a good steward. He explained that the company was moving to Mounds View because they had grown out of his current facility. He reviewed in detail with the Commission how the fuel tanks would have double wall construction. He discussed the contamination cleanup work that had already been completed on the site. He stated the trees on the wetland would remain in place. He indicated he would be making a request to the City to allow his facility to have major engine repair. Planner Sevald explained the major engine repair request would be reviewed by the Planning Commission on June 21st. Vice Chair Love questioned how the City and the applicant would like to see the landscaping plan amended. Planner Sevald reviewed how the applicant would like to spread the landscaping along the front of the three properties. He stated the north property line was fairly long. Mr. Schifler reported the north property line currently had a six-foot chain link fence in place. He suggested additional trees be planted along the north property line that will not alter the fence. Commissioner Klebsch supported this recommendation and noted the City required only that the parking lot be screened and not the entire property line. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Klebsch/Commissioner Rundle. To approve 1071-17, Recommending Approval of a Development Review for property located at 4821 Mustang
