Mounds View Planning Commission June 17, 2009 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />5. Planning Cases <br /> <br />None. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />A. Code Amendments <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated after the May 20, 2009 Planning Commission meeting staff <br />prepared four of the city code amendments for the Commission to review and take action on. <br />She indicated that because of the length of some of the amendments, she asked the Commission <br />to review the proposed language in the resolutions. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated resolution 900-09 amends Chapter 1104 by removing “decks” <br />from allowed encroachments. This was discussed at the last meeting. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated resolution 901-09 amends Chapters 1102, 1104 and 1106 <br />pertaining to the definition of building height, the maximum allowed accessory building height <br />and required accessory building separation distance. She added current code indicates midpoint <br />between the peak and eave. This is difficult to explain to residents and difficult for staff to <br />measure when the structure is built. She added the code was also amended in regards to <br />minimum building separation distance as required by the Minnesota State Building Code. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated resolution 902-09 recommends removal of the R-O, <br />Residential-Office Zoning District from the city code. She added the only property that was <br />zoned R-O was the Johnson Trailer Hitch property and this parcel was rezoned last year for the <br />senior housing development. She stated this resolution is lengthy because the R-O is referenced <br />in several sections throughout the zoning code. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller questioned section 1124.03 the addition of “us” at the end of the code. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated this is correcting the spelling of “apparatus” in the current code. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated resolution 903-09 amends chapter 1116 pertaining to the <br />storage of flammable liquids in industrial districts. She added the changes are in the permitted <br />uses adding the language of “Above ground storage not to exceed a total of 800 gallons” and <br />1116.04 Conditional Uses subd. 20 adding the language of “over 800 gallons above ground.” <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Cramblit/Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek. To approve <br />the four resolutions as stated and to pass these on to the City Council. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />
