Mounds View Planning Commission July 18, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 8 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Scotch questioned how many sheds are currently on the property. Planner Atkinson responded there are 2, and if this one is added, there will be 3. Director Ericson stated 3 sheds are not allowed and he would be contacted to remove one. Director Ericson reported that Building G requested an expansion of their parking lot. This was originally approved by the Council, subject to some requirements. One requirement was to enter into a development agreement with the city. There is a different owner now. Director Ericson suggested a resolution be adopted to amend the resolution that amended the agreement with the developer. b. Highway 10 Meetings Director Ericson communicated the last meeting for Highway 10 was a positive meeting. The consultant was present and went over the different plans and maps. The public meeting and open house recently on this topic was not very well attended, though there was some good discussion. Channel 9 broadcasted live from the meeting as their lead piece. This should help raise the level of awareness. Director Ericson stated that because there was a small turn out, the City sent a survey to residents the City had email addresses for, which was about 350. Arron Parrish indicated that within a couple hours of sending it out, he got 30 responses. Director Ericson informed the Planning Commission that the Council had a meeting on the Comprehensive Plan. This is a document that will be continually revisited. Commissioner Hegland inquired what the status of the Mermaid is. Director Ericson responded it is stalled, and that in part is due to the legislature and waiting to see what would happen with the property tax designation. Now that those numbers are in, there will likely be more activity. Director Ericson stated the Edgewood Middle School pond was approved. Chair Stevenson questioned what the status is with Donatelle’s. Director Ericson explained there is a pending liquor license application. The City is working on resolving issues with Ramsey County. Director Ericson also stated the Carmike Theatre parking issue is continuing. Since Donatelles has closed, that has been a benefit to the residents since patrons park there instead of the street. The theatre is in negotiations to acquire one or more undeveloped parcels near by. Adequate parking is anticipated by winter. Commissioner Miller asked if the Theatre has gone over its expectations or whether the amount of parking provided was not sufficient. Director Ericson replied the parking is adequate according to code. He suggested that sufficient parking for ticket prepurchasing wasn’t anticipated. ______________________________________________________________________________
