Mounds View Planning Commission August 21, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson asked Staff to clarify why 28 feet is the minimum and why it could not be setback at the 30 feet. Director Ericson explained that the parking lot is setback five feet from the property line to the north and there are one way stalls and the minimum drive aisle width for one way with diagonal parking is 12 feet. He then indicated that they are at the minimum depth for stalls and to allow for the 13 additional spots along H2 the 28-foot setback is the absolute minimum necessary to alleviate the hardship. He further commented that Staff would have preferred to have something along the lines of a 14 foot drive aisle but the Fire Marshall has given approval to the plan and it meets with City Code. Commissioner Miller asked how wide the parking stalls are. Director Ericson indicated the stalls are 9 feet wide and 18 feet deep. Tony Jacob of 188 17th Avenue S.W., New Brighton addressed the Commission and offered to answer any questions. MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Hegland. To Approve Resolution 700-02, a Resolution Approving a Variance to Allow a Reduced Front Yard Setback to Expand a Parking Lot for Jake’s Sports Café Located on County Road H2. Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. ______________________________________________________________________________ 6. Planning Case ZC02-005, DE02-005 Community Development Director Ericson indicated this is a request for a development review and rezoning to expand the parking lot onto the adjacent theater office pad. He then indicated that a photometric analysis had been provided showing the light disbursement for the light fixtures proposed. He further indicated that this reconstruction would provide 121 stalls for the site as well as noting that the Jacobs have expressed a willingness to provide whatever landscaping is deemed necessary to fill in any gaps created by the parking lot expansion. Director Ericson indicated that the applicant is proposing to relocate the existing fence to 26 feet from County Road H2 and add a decorative wrought iron fence between the theater lot and the Jake’s lot. Director Ericson indicated there will be only one access from H2 and noted that the site plan would need to be revised to show garbage dumpster detail. Director Ericson indicated there was a Resolution provided for consideration recommending Council approval of the site plan as well as recommending approval of the rezoning request. He
