Mounds View Planning Commission Regular Meeting June 1, 2011 Page 3 Commissioner Schiltgen questioned if there had been any concerns with the lift station in the past. Associate Heller noted she would speak with public works regarding this concern but stated she was not aware of any issues, and the lift station has been there for many years. She noted a bollard could be placed between the new driveway and the building. Commissioner Schiltgen asked if the building schedule was known for the future garages. Bob Yentsch, property manager for Kinyon Properties, stated this was uncertain but that they did hope to start one of the garages this summer. Commissioner Schiltgen inquired how long the applicant had to complete the garages before the variance expired. Associate Heller stated the City Code states that if the work that the variance was granted for is not completed within one year, the approval becomes void. She indicated that the applicant can apply for an extension before the variance expires. She stated that in this case, the City is willing to work with Mr. Kinyon because of the unique circumstances with Raymond Avenue being reconstructed and the changes being done to ten of his curb cuts. The extension request would come before the Planning Commission for approval. She noted if the variance were to expire, the applicant could simply reapply. She stated that she had spoken to the applicant who said that he may install the driveways before the garages are built. Commissioner Miller requested a minor language change on each resolution.
