Mounds View Planning Commission February 15, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 3 ______________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Zwirn asked if there is an anticipated increase in employees. Mr. Hill advised that they have added nine employees this past year, which resulted in growth beyond the existing building. He stated they might hire another six to ten employees over next eight to ten years. Commissioner Zwirn asked if they will construct more bays for delivery. Mr. Hill explained they have no access to the side or rear of the building so they are not able to add more garage doors. Trucks pull all the way into the building to unload. Commissioner Zwirn asked if they anticipate no increase in truck traffic. Mr. Hill stated that is correct. Vice Chair Miller asked what kind of work the company does. Mr. Hill reviewed the types of machinery lines they manufacture. Vice Chair Miller asked how long they think the building project will take. Mr. Hill stated they would like to start construction this spring and think it will be completed mid-summer. Commissioner Hegland asked if this addition is part of the original PUD. Mr. Hill answered in the affirmative and stated that C.G. Hill is his grandfather. He explained that they didn’t want to build too big too fast with the initial construction of the building, but wanted the possibility to add on in the future. He noted that electrical and plumbing were roughed in for the future expansion when the building was first built so they are asking to do what they originally planned to do in 1994. Vice Chair Miller asked whether the draft resolution should mention that this expansion is part of the original plan. Community Development Ericson stated it could be added as part of the record regarding this property. He suggested the draft resolution be amended to add another WHEREAS indicating the proposed expansion is consistent with the original PUD, which indicated the footprint of the expanded area. Consensus was reached to add this modification. MOTION/SECOND: Hegland/Zwirn. To approve the amended Resolution 826-06, a Resolution Recommending Approval of Development Review for a 16,150 Square Foot Addition to the C.G. Hill Building; Planning Case DE2006-001. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. Director Ericson advised that this recommendation would be on the City Council agenda on February 27, 2006 ______________________________________________________________________________
