Mounds View Planning Commission February 2, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 3 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Miller noted that on page 1 at the very bottom it says, “parking ramps”. She asked whether it should be “parking ramps” or “parking ramp”. Mr. Dietrich agreed that it should be “parking ramp”, and that he would make that change. Commissioner Miller also noted that the box for “not applicable” was not checked on page 2, Item 6, and she inquired as to whether it should be. Mr. Dietrich confirmed that the box should be checked. Chair Stevenson asked when public input would be taken on this item. Director Ericson replied that this evening’s meeting is a public hearing, and the public had been invited. He noted that he did not receive any phone calls or letters. He informed the Commission that he had a conversation with Sysco, and their only issue was that the transportation system be adequate to handle additional traffic. Mr. Ericson pointed out that there would be another City Council meeting following the Met Council’s approval where the public would have an opportunity for input. Mr. Dietrich mentioned that they anticipate that the Met Council will look at the transportation issue, and that there has been a very thorough transportation study done. He added that other issues of focus are storm water and storm water management. He stated that the Code is very clear on what needs to be done. He added that there is a sanitary sewer interceptor that already bisects a portion of the site, so they have looked at those capacities. Commissioner Miller asked what “Hybrid I” meant on Table 3. Mr. Dietrich explained that there is a plan in the works where Lake Drive, 35W,and County Road J all come together, and that is one of the major elements of the study of the Stakeholders meeting with MnDOT and the regional transportation engineers. He continued by saying that Hybrid talks about possibly building a bridge so that Lake Drive could fly over 35W and then come down for the southbound connection. Director Ericson clarified that the “I” part of that is from I-35W. Mr. Dietrich reassured the Commission that he would put that all on one line to eliminate the confusion. Director Ericson stated that Resolution 783-05 was before them if the Commission felt comfortable with the amendment application. Commissioner Zwirn asked for clarification regarding the definition of Institutional as it applies to this parcel.
