Item No: ___5A Meeting Date: November 16, 2016 Type of Business: Planning Case MU2016-003 City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Planner Item Title/Subject: - Resolution 1060-16, consider a recommendation of approval of a Development Review of the Public Works Facility expansion, for property at 2466 Bronson Dr. - Public Hearing to consider Resolution 1061-16, approval of a Variance to reduce the front yard setback for a parking lot; - Resolution 1062-16, consider a recommendation for approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage as an Accessory Use; - Resolution 1063-16, consider a recommendation for approval of a Conditional Use Permit for the Storage of Flammable Liquids over 800 gallons Above Ground. Introduction The City will be replacing its Public Works Facility in 2017 at the location of the current facility at 2466 Bronson Dr. A Development Review is required of the Site Plan (e.g. parking, landscaping, lighting, etc.). The proposed facility will require a Variance to reduce the front yard setback for a parking lot; a Conditional Use Permit for outside storage; and a Conditional Use Permit for above ground fuel tanks. The existing use of outside storage and above ground fuel tanks are non-conforming uses, thus, any expansion requires that they conform to current regulations. Discussion The Public Works Facility is located along Bronson Dr. on the north side of City Hall Park. The maintenance building was constructed in the mid-1960’s, and an addition built in 1987. Originally used by the Police Department, Public Works moved in when the current City Hall and Police Department were built. The existing Public Works facility includes a number of buildings. Only the Maintenance building (12,256 sq ft existing), Cold Storage / Salt Storage building (4,800 sq ft existing) will be replaced. The new Maintenance Building will be 34,773 sq ft, and the Salt Storage Shed will be 1,600 sq ft. The new facility will be constructed in phases, allowing continued operation of the existing facility during construction.
