Mounds View Plan Planning Commission April 19, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 15 would be consideration of a conditional use permit request for an oversized garage, and for an oversized shed. He stated a conditional use permit was also being requested to allow for outdoor storage at property located at 4749 Old Highway 8, which is the same property that was granted a variance to allow for a reduced front yard setback a few months earlier. He advised that outdoor storage is allowed by conditional use permit in the industrial district. Planning Associate Ericson stated this week, TOLD Development Company, representing Walgreens, will submit their application for a Planned Unit Development at the corner of Edgewood Drive and Highway 10, where they propose to construct a Walgreens and a Culver’s Restaurant. He stated this item would probably come before the Planning Commission soon. Planning Associate Ericson stated another item the Commission would be considering shortly is an examination and possible revision of the Code, in response to the number of oversized shed conditional use permit requests that are being submitted. He explained that the City is consistently granting conditional use permits to allow for sheds larger than the 216 square feet currently allowed, and in light of this, the Commission may determine that the maximum square- footage should be increased. He advised that the previous year, the City Council and Planning Commission approved an amendment to the Code to allow for larger garages without a conditional use permit. He indicated the maximum square-footage without a conditional use permit was increased from 864 to 952 square feet, and it would be prudent to review the requirements for sheds and accessory structures now as well. c. Sensible Land Use Coalition Planning Associate Ericson provided the Commission with brochures from the Sensible Land Use Coalition meeting. He indicated that anyone interested in attending this meeting should complete the application form and advise Community Development Director Jopke or himself. He indicated he has personally attended a couple of these meetings, and found them to be very informative. d. I-35W Corridor Coalition. Planning Associate Ericson stated the I-35W Corridor Coalition is requesting feedback from the Planning Commissions and City Councils with regard to the meeting which was held on March 29th, in the city of Shoreview. He requested any comments or suggestions pertaining to this meeting be forwarded to Community Development Director Jopke or himself. Commissioner Laube indicated this meeting was basically identical to the previous meeting, and suggested that different topics be considered. Chairperson Peterson stated the meeting was well worth attending, however, he shared Commissioner Laube’s viewpoint, in that specific topics at future meetings would be more valuable.
