Mounds View Planning Commission September 7, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 5 ________________________________________________________________________ Rick Perrozzi, Building Manager, 2832 County Road 10, stated the front setback could remain as is and be blacktopped; however, on the east side the request is for as much flexibility as possible – a zero setback is preferred. Chair Stevenson asked what would happen with these two feet, if granted. Mr. Perrozzi stated they would be blacktopped. Commissioner Hegland asked if there would be a curb. Mr. Perrozzi stated yes. Chair Stevenson stated a curb would deter water from the CVS property. Commissioner Hegland stated if there is a zero setback snow may be placed on the CVS property. Director Ericson noted in the case of substantial snowfalls there is plenty of room at the back of the PAK property to pile snow. Commissioner Zwirn asked about the engineering reports. Mr. Perrozzi stated the engineers are from the CVS project; they are trying to correct the problem. He added he is in the process of getting an independent engineering firm to dispute the grading and stormwater flow because the proposed would allow water to collect against the building. Chair Stevenson noted the Commission did not act on the request at the last meeting due to an unknown outcome of a proposed meeting later in the week between Mr. Perrozzi and Velmeir. He asked what is the outcome of that meeting. Mr. Perrozzi replied the meeting never occurred. He added several days and times were offered; however, Velmeir initially did not return calls and would not meet him at the job site. Chair Stevenson noted the fire marshal indicated a 24-foot minimum width; therefore, he does not see any reason to allow more than the two-foot setback. Commissioner Zwirn asked if the stakes, depicted in the photographic documentation, represents the lot line and, if so, is it two feet west to the curb. Mr. Perrozzi stated the stakes represent the lot line. He added the lot line would move two more feet to the west. Commissioner Hegland asked where is the five-foot setback. Director Ericson stated the majority of the CVS curb is five feet from the property line; however, it is closer where the storm drain was installed.. Commissioner Hegland asked what Velmeir would do with the part that goes into their property. Mr. Perrozzi stated they are going to tear it out. Chair Stevenson stated more pervious surfaces such as landscaping should provide for less water coming to the building. Mr. Perrozzi stated an extra two feet would provide more chance water would run away from the building.
