Mounds View Planning Commission April 2, 2014 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Carvelli-Yu supported the use of manmade stone within the approved building <br />materials list. <br /> <br />Commissioner Birken commented that a great deal of the language within the code was <br />subjective. <br /> <br />Associate Heller indicated this was done intentionally to allow for some level of flexibility for <br />future developers. <br /> <br />Commissioner Birken discussed the landscaping requirements within the overlay district. She <br />wondered if 15% of green space was on the low side. She questioned if the current code had <br />green space requirements. <br /> <br />Associate Heller reported the current code did not have a green space percentage requirement. <br />She noted the City also had landscaping requirements in place. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson reviewed the revised site plan for Crossroad Pointe. <br /> <br />Commissioner Carvelli-Yu asked if trash within Mounds View had to be picked up on the same <br />day. <br /> <br />Associate Heller stated this was the case for residential pickup, but commercial pick up could be <br />any day of the week. <br /> <br />Commissioner Birken believed the comment regarding percentages of renovation should be <br />eliminated from the overlay district language. She expressed concern with future building <br />additions to existing buildings and wanted to ensure that building materials would match. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding building renovation requirements for existing buildings <br />along the County Road 10 corridor, in addition to proposed parking requirements. <br /> <br />Commissioner Birken recommended the language regarding granting exceptions to the overlay <br />district be amended as it could be construed to be capricious. <br /> <br />Associate Heller thanked the Commission for their comments and suggestions. She explained <br />she would continue to revise the overlay district language and the Commission would discuss <br />this item again at the next meeting. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7.
