Mounds View Planning Commission April 6, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 7 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Miller stated in the Resolution under number three, it should be corrected for punctuation. Planner Prososki read the Resolution stipulations to the public and Planning Commission, adding item five regarding review in three months with a public hearing. Commissioner Hegland wondered if they should remove the wording regarding “over six months”. Planner Prososki agreed and stated the wording would be stricken. MOTION/SECOND: Miller/Scotch. To approve Resolution 790-05, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for a Residential Dog Kennel at 8370 Pleasant View Drive; Planning Case No. CU2005-002.
