Mounds View Planning Commission September 5, 2012 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />City will approve any variances for the east property line. She recommended the Commission <br />discuss the item in detail, open the Public Hearing and table the item until to the September 19, <br />2012 meeting where further information will be available on the modified plan between Tires N’ <br />More and CVS. <br /> <br />Commissioner Cramblit was in favor of a zero lot line and a retaining wall along the front of the <br />east side rather than have a small island. <br /> <br />Naoufel Soussi, 2832 County Road 10, stated this may benefit the property and a small retaining <br />wall could be built to separate the properties. <br /> <br />Associate Heller reviewed several photos of the site with the Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause questioned if access to the site would be confusing given the <br />numerous access points to the site. He suggested the traffic flow in from one side and exit from <br />the other. <br /> <br />Associate Heller commented directional signs would be needed to direct customers to the rear of <br />the building. <br /> <br />Mr. Soussi discussed the layout of his Fridley location stating it was similar to this site noting <br />directional signs would assist in directing clients to the entrance. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause asked if the parking in the front should be eliminated all together. <br /> <br />Mr. Soussi noted parking in the front would be very short term. <br /> <br />Commissioner Smith inquired how many customers were anticipated to be onsite at any given <br />time. <br /> <br />Mr. Soussi stated at most there may be six cars during a busy time, but on average two to three <br />cars. He noted the employees would be parking in the rear of the building. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller questioned how many people would be employed at this location. <br /> <br />Mr. Soussi stated there would be five employees at the Mounds View Tires N’ More. <br /> <br />Commissioner Smith recommended the exiting traffic from the Tires N’ More property only be <br />allowed to make a left to assure that traffic went directly to County Road 10 and not behind the <br />CVS building to Silver Lake Road. <br /> <br />The Commission agreed with this suggestion. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson understood CVS’s concerns with traffic flowing through their parking lot to <br />Silver Lake Road.
