Mounds View Planning Commission October 19, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 4 ________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Kelner asked what if he moves the footings back and concretes them in. Commissioner Miller replied the construction is still less than five feet from the property line. Director Ericson stated there is sufficient justification to allow the concrete to remain. He added Staff could go to the site and see what the actual run off impact would be. The Commission could make a motion to direct Staff to prepare the resolution but take action tonight. Chair Stevenson replied a resolution approving the concrete and denying the lean-to could be approved contingent upon the run off impact analysis. Mr. Kelner asked for clarification of the decision that the lean-to must be removed, the concrete driveway can remain in place, and the run off will need to be away from neighbors. He stated he predicts there will be some water that will run off into the neighbor’s property. He added he could just put a lip or something on the edge to prevent water run off. Chair Stevenson replied there is always a minor amount of run off, but measures will be required. Director Ericson replied there might be no need to do anything if most of the water remains on his property. Commissioner Miller stated when the neighbor sent the construction approval letter she might not of been thinking about water run off. She asked if the applicant has the right to appeal the Commission’s decision to City Council. Director Ericson replied yes. Mr. Kelner replied he is not going to appeal. Commissioner Hegland stated the applicant could revise the request just to an improved surface. Director Ericson replied if Mr. Kelner drafted a short letter stating he would like to remove the lean-to from the request but keep the surface this would make the request clean. Mr. Kelner asked when the lean-to structure would have to be removed. Director Ericson replied within 30 days from resolution approval. Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:41 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Stevenson/Miller. To approve Resolution 818-05, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Variance Request for a Driveway Extension/Parking Area within 1 Foot of the Property Line with the condition of removing the lean-to roof and normal run-off flow to the neighbors; Planning Case No. VR2005-013. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. ______________________________________________________________________________ 8.
