Mounds View Planning Commission July 6, 2011 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />A. Discuss Proposed Driveway and Parking Area City Code Amendments <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller informed the Commission that permits for replacement driveways or <br />driveway expansions are one of the most common permits issued every year, and parking off an <br />improved surface is one of the most common code enforcement problems. The Planning <br />Commission discussed the current City Code requirements for driveways and parking areas at <br />the May 18th meeting. Staff presented a code amendment to the Commission. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson questioned if a gravel area could be added adjacent to a hard surface. <br /> <br />Associate Heller stated that up to 300 square feet of gravel area can be added adjacent to a <br />driveway if it has a five foot setback. Recreational vehicles were not the majority of the City’s <br />parking concerns. <br /> <br />The Commission was in favor of the recommended code amendment and asked that staff bring it <br />back for formal action. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />7.
