Mounds View Planning Commission August 6, 2008 Regular Meeting Page 8 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Gunn stated the east end of Highway 10 is considered downtown Mounds View and the other end is going to be higher density residential. She stated that having a senior building versus an apartment building should limit the amount of noise from the site. Planning Associate Heller stated because the process was not completed for a public hearing, the Commission cannot take action on the variances. City staff will bring the variance requests back before the Commission on August 20. She stated there are two other resolutions that the commission can take action on tonight. Commissioner Lang stated because the applicant already applied for a parking variance, could we remove the nine parking stalls in the back of the building. This would reduce the parking to 75 stalls. Community Development Director Roberts stated the development does need the public safety driveway, but the applicant could show the parking as the alternative “proof of parking.” This would eliminate the back parking, but the applicant would be required to install the spaces if the city determined in the future that there is a need for them. Chair Stevenson stated this could eliminate some of the lighting issues that were expressed by the residents. Mr. Larson stated he was in favor of the “proof of parking” concept. He stated he would contact the Fire Marshal to address any concerns. Planning Associate Heller indicated the Planning Commission could go forward with the non- variance issues.

She asked the Commission if they want to address some of the issues brought up tonight and possibly amend the resolution. Community Development Director Roberts stated that if the Commission desires they could add a number 5 on page 3 of the resolution to include the proof of parking that was talked about.
