Mounds View Planning Commission January 19, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 3 recommend the item be tabled until the February 2, 2000 meeting of the Planning Commission. He indicated that if no word is received from the applicant by that meeting date, staff will draft a resolution to deny the request. He noted that the applicant might also withdraw his application, or request Planning Commission action, however, this is still undetermined. Commissioner Miller inquired if the applicant could request an extension of time. Planning Associate Ericson stated this was correct. He explained that the Planning Commission could also extend the matter for an additional 60 days, without concern that it might be approved accidentally, by virtue of non-action on the part of the City. He advised that the City is required to act upon all planning requests within 60 days, unless that time frame is extended, and the Commission could extend this matter for an additional 60 days. He reiterated that further information regarding how this matter will proceed should be available by the end of the week. MOTION/SECOND: Stevenson/Kaden. To Table Planning Case No. 578-99 Until the February 2, 2000 Meeting of the Planning Commission. Ayes – 8 Nays – 0 The motion carried. 6. Planning Case No. 579-99 Property involved: 4749 Old Highway 8 Consideration of Resolution 603-00, a resolution approving a front-yard setback variance for the building located at 4749 Old Highway 8. Applicant: ASC Properties, LLC. The applicant was not present. Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows: This item is a request for a variance to allow for a reduced front yard setback for an office- warehouse building located at 4749 Old Highway 8. The applicant, ASC Properties, LLC is the new owner of the subject property, which is in the process of changing hands. An application for variance has been requested in order to provide for a clean transfer of the property. Planning Associate Ericson advised that a variance is required because the building, according to a recent survey, encroaches into the front yard setback by approximately 2 to 3 feet, on the north end of the property. He noted that the property curves slightly, therefore, the building maintains the required 40-foot setback toward the south end of the property.
