Mounds View Planning Commission December 18, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Farrell further indicated it was never brought to his attention that there were any conditions <br />set with the building. He then asked if it stated in the resolution the number of employees or the <br />number of businesses allowed in the building. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn indicated that Mr. Mezzenga had represented something different to the <br />Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Farrell commented that he knew there would not be enough parking but knew there was <br />overflow parking on the street. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland indicated it was not right to assume that on-street parking is for overflow <br />from the business. <br /> <br />Mr. Farrell indicated that there is parking that is not generated by his business such as parking <br />from the apartments. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn handed out pictures with respect to situations on parking on Greenfield. <br />He then said there were five cars parked from 7658 Greenfield down to the corner and, looking <br />up Greenfield, there were another four. He also noted that the pictures were from two different <br />dates. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked how many more spaces could be added to the site. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that, looking at the site plan and the area available, it would be <br />possible to add only two additional parking stalls but again that would necessitate amending the <br />variance resolution as it would further encroach into the setback. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated he was willing to pursue that as he wants to maximize the parking <br />capacity of the site. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland indicated he would like Staff to go and see what can be done to <br />maximize parking on the site. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller indicated the no parking from here to corner would help. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scotch indicated that while there are no safety issues present now, there would be <br />issues in the winter with snow accumulations. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated he wanted to get the engineer out there to see if there was any way to <br />accommodate a few more stalls due to the change in use. <br /> <br />Director Ericson clarified that Staff does not feel the use has changed at all but how the building <br />was portrayed to the Commission was different. He then indicated that there are not any <br />restrictions in the Resolution but it was conveyed to the Commission that there would be <br />approximately eight employees and five or six visitors.
