Mounds View Planning Commission August 2, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller stated the plan seems to hit all required criteria. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked if the garage would be for storage only and not for potential living or <br />business space. Ms. Heller replied that was correct. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Hegland/Commissioner Scotch, to approve resolution 849- <br />06 recommending approval of a conditional use permit to allow for a 1,176 square foot garage at <br />2932 Woodale Drive; Planning Case CU2006-007 <br /> <br /> Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller suggested a grammatical change to the resolution. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated the variance would include a statement indicating the garage would not <br />be used for additional living space or commercial purposes. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller required the variance state this garage would be designed and maintained <br />for a uniform appearance with the house. <br /> __________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />B.

She stated Tyson came back with some new plans. Planning <br />Associate Heller pointed to the site plan displayed for reference. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated Tyson’s first plan proposed a 120,000 square foot building on <br />their property; the revised plan proposes 109,128 square feet. Planning Associate Heller stated <br />Tyson would also add a railroad track spur from the tracks in New Brighten into the new <br />building. She reported Tyson would be able to fit five rail cars inside the new building. <br />Planning Associate Heller reported Tyson indicated, because there are problems hiring enough <br />truck drivers, they are moving back to rail to transport goods. She reported Tyson would move <br />their St. Paul site and employees to Mounds View if the rail project works. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller indicated Tyson added additional parking and reduced the variance <br />amount they are asking for. She drew the Commissions attention to the site plan where she <br />pointed out the current building locations, wetlands, wooded area, and parking lots. Planning <br />Associate Heller moved to the proposed site plan pointing out plans for the new building, <br />setbacks and added parking areas. She indicated both building corners now have a ten foot
