Mounds View Planning Commission August 21, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 5 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Miller asked if an access for walking would be available along the fence line. Director Ericson indicated an access is not shown but could be added, if necessary. He then said it may not be necessary because pedestrian traffic between Jake’s and the theater would follow the fence line to the front of the building where they can get around the fence. Chair Stevenson suggested that a gap in the west corner may make sense. He then asked if the fence on the south side would match the current fence. Director Ericson indicated there is no requirement for matching the fencing but said that is the plan. He then indicated a stipulation would be added to indicate that the existing fence is to be reused or a same or similar fencing must be used. Chair Stevenson asked that the wrought iron fence not to exceed four feet be added to the Resolution. MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Miller. To Approve Resolution 707-02, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Development Review for a Parking Lot Expansion and a Rezoning from Planned Unit Development to Highway Business for Jake’s Sports Café Located on County Road H2. Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried ______________________________________________________________________________ 7. Planning Case VR02-006 Planner Atkinson indicated this is a request for a variance for a reduced setback for an accessory structure and the applicant is asking to construct his shed four feet from the rear property line. He then indicated that the criteria must be met to grant the variance and the main one is for a hardship to exist. Planner Atkinson explained that there are three significant trees in the way and that is why the shed needs to be set at four feet. He also noted that locating the shed in another location in the backyard would significantly disrupt the rear yard as there is already existing landscaping. Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:30 p.m. Commissioner Miller asked if the existing wood fence is on the property line. Planner Atkinson indicated that it is about 6 inches off the property line. Commissioner Hegland asked how big the shed would be.
