Mounds View Planning Commission June 3, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />The Planning Commission agreed on the language of “20 feet or the height of the primary <br />structure, whichever is less.” <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller questioned adding some design standards for garages. She stated <br />currently, there isn’t any language in the code that the garage needs to match the existing <br />structure. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated he doesn’t have any problem with the current language. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated some cities code language specifically state not allowing <br />corrugated metal siding and roofs. <br /> <br />Stevenson indicated he didn’t feel this was much of a problem in Mounds View. He stated he <br />was in favor of having this code remain as is. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Planning Commission is to have this code remain as is. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller suggested removing the R-O, Residential-Office zoning district from <br />the zoning code. She indicated there was only one property (2865 County Highway 10) zoned <br />R-O, and the City recently rezoned this property to R-4 for the senior housing development. As <br />such, staff recommends that the City eliminate this zoning designation from the city code. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated she received an email from Commissioner Lang and he <br />expressed concern of removing this zoning code because there may be use for this in the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek questioned if this is the zoning for someone running a business <br />out of their home. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated this zoning would only be used for businesses along County <br />Highway 10. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated throughout the years with no other properties zoned R-O, he didn’t see <br />the use in keeping the R-O zoning district. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Planning Commission is to remove the R-O zoning district from the zoning <br />code. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated there are a few properties in the city that are being used <br />differently than the way the zoning designates them to be used. These particular properties are <br />currently zoned R-2 but the actual use is single family - 7301 Parkview Drive, 7441 Parkview <br />Terrace, 5468 Adams Street, 2760 Wooddale Drive. Staff will continue to go through the zoning <br />map to determine if there are more zoning changes that the City should do. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated he is comfortable with these changes. <br />
