Mounds View Planning Commission March 21, 2012 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Meehlhause indicated the jobs were great, but the improvements to the building <br />would also benefit the community. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller inquired if the small shed would remain. <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd stated the shed would be removed from the site. He discussed how the rear area of the <br />building would be improved along with the fencing. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schiltgen asked if the purchase of the building was finalized. <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd stated all terms were agreed upon pending the approval of a variance from the City. <br />He noted a Phase I environmental review would also have to be completed per required by the <br />bank. <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Meehlhause noted the proposed garage was 26’ x 28’ with two garage doors. He <br />questioned if the company’s two trailers and pick-up truck would fit into the garage. <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd stated the two trailers aren’t very big (6’ x 12’) and have been out of town on sites for <br />the last nine months. He indicated the trailers are usually at construction sites for material <br />storage. He wants the garage this particular size so that the truck and trailer could be backed into <br />to the building and left connected. <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Meehlhause asked which side of the garage the garage doors would be located. <br /> <br />Mr. Lloyd commented the doors would be located on the east side of the garage, facing the <br />parking lot. He indicated the garage was positioned at an angle to match the way the existing <br />building sits on the site. The garage would be covered with brick to match the principal <br />structure. He noted he would be spending approximately $100,000 to improve the existing <br />structure and build the detached garage. He anticipated the improvements would take about five <br />weeks to complete. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller was pleased with the proposed improvements. <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Meehlhause inquired if the Commission should reference removal of the existing <br />storage building and trash area. <br /> <br />Associate Heller stated this could be added to the resolution if the Commission felt it was <br />necessary. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cramblit felt this would be addressed through the construction of the new garage <br />and remodeling of the main building, and not necessary to state in the resolution. <br />
