Mounds View Planning Commission May 17, 2000 <br />Regular Meeting Page 17 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Hasselbring stated they owned the building, and were happy to be in Mounds View. He <br />indicated they relocated from Roseville, where they had a leased space, and they have a vested <br />interest in maintaining the building. He stated they have recently spent a significant amount of <br />money to remodel the building to prepare it for their use, and it was their intention to install a <br />nice area to cordon everything off from view. <br /> <br />Mr. Hasselbring stated they and Greg Lien, the owner of the property directly to the north, <br />Midway Industrial Supply, share a common driveway, and the loading docks on each side of the <br />buildings face each other. He stated he met with Mr. Lien that date, and provided him with a <br />copy of the site plan and photographs. He explained that Mr. Lien’s concern was with regard to <br />the visibility and the nature of the stored items, however, after their discussion, he did not have <br />any objections, and therefore, this issue appears to have been resolved. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hegland inquired if the applicant plans to install slats in the fence on the subject <br />property. Mr. Hasselbring stated this was correct, adding that they would be complementary to <br />the building. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated he had observed that on other sites some of the slats must be very <br />lightweight, because it appears as if a very strong wind has blown them out. Mr. Hasselbring <br />stated they have not experienced this problem at their St. Louis Park facility. He indicated it <br />would be their intention to utilize commercial grade slatting, and not a residential grade, which <br />might be a bit lighter. He stated they would not accept the slatting if it were subject to wind <br />damage. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller inquired how often the PVC pipe would be delivered to the site. Mr. <br />Hasselbring stated they seldom receive deliveries during the winter. He explained that they were <br />a heating and air-conditioning wholesaler, and the PVC pipe is used in underground heating <br />works, therefore, the primary market is during the summer construction season. He pointed out <br />that in the wintertime, this product becomes hard to handle, and they do not sell large amounts of <br />it. He advised that from May through November, they probably receive a truckload of product a <br />month. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson inquired if the proposed fence would be 8 feet in height. Mr. Hasselbring <br />stated this was correct. Chairperson Peterson inquired if the materials would be stored below the <br />top of the fence. Mr. Hasselbring stated this was correct. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller stated she did not see any reference to the size of the enclosure in the <br />resolution. Chairperson Peterson stated the site plan indicates that the dimensions would be 32 <br />feet by 60 feet. Commissioner Stevenson added that the enclosure would be 1,920 square feet in <br />area. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated staff could include a clause in the resolution, which references <br />the site plan in this regard. Chairperson Peterson advised that there was no maximum
