Mounds View Planning Commission February 15, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 6 ______________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Zwirn stated he understands this is the easiest route to take and asked whether it should have been caught by the attorney. Director Ericson stated it probably should have. Vice Chair Miller asked how many businesses could be accommodated. Dr. Belting explained that the building is set up to have a total of three or four additional tenants. If someone buys the two middle units together, then there would be three owners. Otherwise, there will be a total of four owners. Vice Chair Miller noted there should not be a requirement for a lot of extra parking. Tom Belting stated they don’t anticipate a need for extra parking and pointed out that the building is not directly on County Road 10. Commissioner Zwirn pointed out that Beltings are operating in good faith and in a situation where they relied on information provided to them. Now, because of an error, they cannot rectify the problem without this process. He stated he supports adoption of the resolution and to allow the project to go forward. Commissioner Hegland asked whether the resolution should be amended to indicate the number of parking spaces. Director Ericson stated the resolution can explicitly state the requirement is 43 stalls and then round up to 1 per 200 feet. He suggested the “Now, Therefore, Be it Resolved” paragraph be amended to indicate: …“one space per 200 square feet of office space (43 stalls)” ratio and recommends approval of said amendment.” Vice Chair Miller asked staff to place her name on the last page of the resolution for signature.

To approve amended Resolution 827-06, a Resolution Recommending Approval of Planned Unit Development Amendment Relating to Parking Requirements for the Walgreens PUD; Planning Case No. PA2005-001.
