Mounds View Planning Commission April 17, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Associate Heller thanked the Commission for their discussion and input this evening. She <br />explained the Commission would be meeting quite regularly in the coming months to continue <br />discussions on this topic. <br /> <br />Associate Heller indicated the second item up for discussion from the Council was sustainability. <br />She reviewed the current language within the City Code regarding this topic, noting it was <br />extremely brief and hindered property owners who wanted to install solar energy systems. She <br />commented many cities were encouraging the installations of wind, solar or geothermal system s. <br />It was noted that free assistance was available through the end of May to assist the City with <br />rewriting the Zoning Code. She explained that by amending the Code, the City would encourage <br />residents and business owners to be more “green.” <br /> <br />Associate Heller encouraged the Commissioners to review the City of Maplewood’s <br />sustainability code as it has been recently updated and would be a good starting point for <br />Mounds View. Staff will bring this portion of the code back to review at a future meeting. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7.
