Mounds View Plan Planning Commission April 19, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 4 standards could certainly be decreased. He also pointed out that Staff has learned that light standards are manufactured in five-foot increments, so if the resolution is approved, staff would recommend this stipulation be amended to indicate 25 feet or less, as the light standards are manufactured in five-foot increments. Planning Associate Ericson stated with the exception of the lighting, all of the other issues pertaining to the specific conditional use permit criteria, including the zoning requirements, setbacks, and parking requirements are met. He indicated the only unresolved issue at this point is the permit through Rice Creek Watershed District, which is only because the applicant has not yet retained a contractor to perform the work. He advised that the Watershed District tabled the permit request with authorization for administrative approval subject to a cash surety and to the applicant obtaining a National Pollution Elimination Discharge System permit. He indicated this was an administrative permit and it would not be the case that it would be denied, therefore, Rice Creek Watershed District has essentially authorized the approval of the permit. He advised that the wetland delineation indicates the stormwater pond is sized accordingly for the anticipated storm water runoff on the site, and is also sized for future buildout, therefore, when the second phase of the construction takes place, the storm water pond would accommodate any additional runoff created by this expansion. Planning Associate Ericson indicated the general conditional use permit criteria, as reviewed at the previous two meetings of the Planning Commission, appear to be satisfied, as do the adverse effects criteria, with the sole exception of the lighting on the site. He stated staff recommends Planning Commission approval of Resolution 611-00, which recommends to the City Council approval of the development review, conditional use permit and wetland buffer permit, subject to a number of stipulations, with the only change to those being the amendment to the third stipulation to indicate the light standards be 25 feet in height or less. He advised that this item would be scheduled for a public hearing before the City Council on April 24, and any additions or omissions to the list of stipulations should be addressed at this time. Commissioner Miller inquired if the trash enclosures on the site had been addressed. Planning Associate Ericson indicated this was specified on the site plan. Chairperson Peterson requested the year 2000 be included in the date of adoption of the proposed resolution. Commissioner Stevenson inquired if the relocated accessory building was a new structure on the site. Planning Associate Ericson stated he was uncertain if the accessory building depicted on the site plans would be salvaged from the site or if it would be a new structure. Commissioner Stevenson pointed out that if the applicant constructs a new accessory building on the site, they would be required to remove the existing structure. Chairperson Peterson noted the existing structure appears to have been the garage that remained after the removal of a house.
