Mounds View Planning Commission August 15, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br />______________________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Discussion occurred regarding the parking configuration and door entrances in an attempt to <br />eliminate some parking spaces and increase green space. It was indicated that the parking spaces <br />are arranged appropriately. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked why the handicapped stall is located around the corner. Dr. Barcus <br />pointed out the location of the handicapped parking stall and explained it provides a closer <br />location to the door and a more direct route into the building. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if the resolution needs to address the boarding aspect. Commissioner <br />Miller pointed out that the boarding aspect has not yet been approved. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson noted that during development review, the Planning <br />Commission has not usually addressed what goes on inside the building beyond reviewing the <br />floor plan and function of the building. He noted that during the conditional use permit <br />consideration, considerable discussion occurred relative to the boarding aspect. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller requested a correction to the resolution which Planning Associate Atkinson <br />indicated would be made. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland expressed concern with the parking calculation being based on excluding <br />some of the square footage rather than on building footprint. He stated he would be more <br />inclined to support a proof of parking option. Community Development Director Ericson stated <br />staff will research that option. He explained staff typically utilizes the useable space to <br />determine parking requirements and, in past considerations, spaces such as mechanical rooms <br />have been excluded. Community Development Director Ericson stated staff will review the Code <br />to assure it is done consistently. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Miller. To Adopt Resolution 670-01, a Resolution <br />Recommending Approval of the Development Review Request for an Animal Hospital Located <br />at 2625 County Highway 10; Planning Case No. DE01-003, As Revised. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7. Staff Reports <br /> <br />Resignation of Planning Commissioner Brian Kaden <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson advised that Brian Kaden had submitted his <br />resignation from the Planning Commission. He stated staff will present the Bylaws at the next <br />meeting to review the Commissioner’s responsibility for meeting attendance. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked that this discussion be placed on the next meeting agenda. <br /> <br />Previous Council Action: August 13, 2001 <br />
