Mounds View Planning Commission June 4, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 6 ________________________________________________________________________ Chair Stevenson asked if the access on Highway 10 will be right in/right out. Dr. Barcus confirmed. Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing. Sidney Brown, 7716 Eastwood Road, stated she preferred not to have commercial across the street from her. Though, if the City felt that was the best use, she would be satisfied. She was concerned with the amount of traffic a commercial business would bring and pointed out there are small children in the area. Dr. Barcus pointed out where the access points would be and suggested the traffic would not be increased dramatically. Dr. Barcus commented that his business is not a high-density business. Appointments are between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m., and then from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. The hours of operation are 8:00 am to 6:00 p.m. Those coming west on County Road I would probably like to turn into the hospital from County Road I and not go onto Highway 10. He said they do expect to offer traditional services and this wouldn’t severely increase the traffic in the area. Director Ericson pointed out that the access points are not to be discussed at this point. This meeting was to discuss the zoning issue only. Director Ericson also mentioned that the applicant had requested boarding be allowed in a B-2 zone. This issue will come before the Commission at a later date. Chair Stevenson asked how animal noise would be prevented. Dr. Barcus stated the animals are strictly inside. There will be a fenced-in enclosure outside for the animals to use only for bathroom purposes. Commissioner Hegland questioned if someone would be in attendance 24 hours. Dr. Barcus responded there would only be someone present during business hours. The doctors are often there until 9:00 p.m. Commissioner Scotch stated she would like to see the area enhanced. She thought the Mounds View Animal Hospital would enhance Mounds View on this lot, since they have been in business for 13 years and are interested in keeping their business in the city. Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing. MOTION/SECOND: Scotch/Kaden. To approve Resolution 657-01 to recommend rezoning the property at 2625 County Highway 10 from R-3 medium density residential, to B-2, limited business. Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. ______________________________________________________________________________ 8. Planning Case No. DE00-002
