Mounds View Planning Commission September 18, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Jason Studer indicated he has been in business for over 7 years in the uptown are and is looking <br />at making a move to break away from his partner and go on his own. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scotch asked what the square footage of the facility in uptown is. <br /> <br />Mr. Studer indicated he is limited to 2,000 square feet and 5 parking spaces at the uptown <br />location. He then said there would not be junk vehicles or parts lying around because it would <br />reflect negatively upon him and his business. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked how much structural change would be done to the existing building. <br /> <br />Mr. Studer indicated the only changes would be internal to frame up an office in one of the wash <br />bays. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated he had no problem with the request other than the size of the lot. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland indicated this was a corner lot. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if the parking was adequate. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated there are two sites shown where parking can be added. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked where overnight outside parking would be. <br /> <br />Mr. Studer indicated he did not anticipate much, if any, outside overnight parking but said that if <br />it was necessary to park a vehicle outside parking would be along the west side of the building. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scotch asked if he would have a 24-hour service. <br /> <br />Mr. Studer indicated the hours would be approximately 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. for the auto repair <br />part of the business. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated he did not see any objections to going forward with the request but <br />recommended that the area for outside overnight parking be designated on the site plan. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked if there would be a dumpster outside for trash, tires and old parts. <br /> <br />Mr. Studer indicated that he did not do tires and said all used parts would be stored inside. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated Staff had drafted a Resolution of approval if the Commission wished <br />to act on it tonight. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland asked for clarification on the parking requirement. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson indicated the parking is currently under the requirement as there needs to be 8 <br />plus stalls. He then indicated that Staff would work with the applicant to make sure that the <br />required parking is shown on the final plan.
