Mounds View Planning Commission June 6, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />4. Citizens Requests and Comments on Items Not on the Agenda <br /> <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />5. Planning Cases <br /> <br />A. CU2007-003: Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for Merryville <br />Farms to Locate a Seasonal Produce Stand at the Mermaid, 2200 County <br />Road 10. Applicant: Craig Gilb; Address: 4750 25th Street SW, Waverly, <br />MN 55390 <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller reported the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to operate <br />a summer seasonal produce stand in the parking lot of the Mermaid at 2200 County Road 10. <br />She stated Merryville Farms had previously operated out of the Mounds View Square parking lot <br />since 1996; however, the mall property owners elected not to renew the lease agreement this <br />year. She explained that since the CUP goes with the land and not the user, a new CUP is <br />required for a location at the Mermaid. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated the Mermaid agreed to lease space in its parking lot to <br />Maryville Farms. She indicated Merryville Farms would operate seven days a week from <br />approximately 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., from late June through early September. She explained <br />the conditional use permit would be in effect indefinitely so long as a letter of permission from <br />the Mermaid and a statement of intent is submitted annually prior to set up by Merryville Farms. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated the stand would be a gazebo-like structure approximately 14 X <br />9 feet and would include a roof. She explained the stand required no utility hookups and would <br />take up approximately two parking spaces. She stated signage would be attached to the gazebo <br />base and the roof. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller reported the Maryville Farms produce stand should cause no adverse <br />effects relative to the relationship to the Comprehensive Plan, the geographical area involved is <br />entirely commercial and industrial, and there should be no depreciation to neighboring property <br />values. She stated all zoning and code issues are satisfied with this request. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller questioned the statement in the resolution “lighting for use shall be <br />supplied by existing parking lot standards.” <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller explained the produce stand would use current parking lot lighting. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Walsh-Kaczmarek/Commissioner Lang to approve <br />Resolution No. 867-07; a Resolution recommending approval of a conditional use permit to <br />allow a seasonal produce stand at 2200 County Road 10; Planning Case No. 2007-003. <br /> <br />Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried.
