Mounds View Planning Commission May 17, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 6 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson asked whether the roofline will remain the same. Mr. McKay answered in the affirmative. Commissioner Scotch asked if there are any additional sheds on this property. Mr. McKay stated there are none. He described the railing that will be installed around the deck he will also be building and advised that he talked with his neighbors and they have no problem with this request. Commissioner Scotch asked the applicant when he wants to start. Mr. McKay stated as soon as he can.

The Planning Commission recommended denial of the request. However, rather than forwarding that recommendation to the City Council, Integra Homes decided to go back to the drawing board, take into consideration the comments made, and come up with a new plan. Director Ericson advised they are now requesting rezoning from R-1 and B-3 to R-3, which would allow townhomes.
