Mounds View Planning Commission September 13, 2000 Special Meeting Page 12 Planner Ericson clarified it is for the parking lot being on the Tom Thumb side. He also explained a variance is not required because the setback is five feet from Tom Thumb and that part does not need to be in the resolution. Commissioner Miller asked Exhibit A to be changed to reflect the changes discussed tonight when the resolution is revised. Chairperson Peterson said Exhibit A could be the same as last week’s but the parking lot portion is changed to reflect decisions of the Commission at this meeting. Planner Ericson said there is no notation of fences or trees as that will be determined at a later date during the development review stage of this proposal.

Chairperson Peterson said he doesn’t think the public hearing was continued from September 6, 2000 to September 13, 2000. He said he would like to add a sentence saying the issue was discussed at the meeting on September 13, 2000. Planner Ericson said he will change the resolution to read “a public hearing was held regarding this variance request on Wednesday, September 6, 2000 and the discussion was continued to September 13, 2000.” MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Heglund.
