Mounds View Planning Commission January 18, 2012 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />B. Discuss updated language for Chapter 1121.08 Code Amendment <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller discussed the Chapter 1121.09 proposed code amendments with the <br />Commission. She indicated parking areas that are detached from the driveway was becoming a <br />concern. City Staff was recommending that if the detached parking area is being utilized on a <br />regular basis, it should be serviced by an improved driveway that connects to the original <br />driveway, and is only accessed by the original driveway curb cut. This code amendment is to <br />assure that residents were not driving over curbs to access separate parking areas. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson questioned why the existing code language was limiting parking areas to five or <br />more vehicles. <br /> <br />Associate Heller indicated the code was actually stating that if a property owner was planning to <br />install a parking lot with marked parking stalls, then a City review of the plans must be done. It <br />was not limiting typical residential driveway parking. She noted this was more applicable for <br />four-plexes or other larger rental housing buildings. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if the Commission had to take action on the Resolution this evening. <br /> <br />Associate Heller stated the information could be reviewed and discussed, and action could take <br />place at a future meeting if the Commission chooses. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson suggested the section addressing surfacing and drainage be made a separate <br />paragraph and further clarified. The Commission agreed with this recommendation. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson requested staff make the discussed changes and bring the Resolution back at a <br />future meeting for action. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />8.
