Mounds View Planning Commission November 16, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 5 ________________________________________________________________________ Commissioner Zwirn referenced picture 13 showing bath facilities and asked if there is a shower or bath. Ms. Colleen replied it has a shower/bath combination. Chair Stevenson asked how many of the cars are her sons. He added he would like to see an approval tied to a maximum number of vehicles allowed otherwise someone else could move in and have more vehicles; however, this is not possible. Ms. Colleen replied they are all his but two, which she owns and she is planning to sell one of the two. Commissioner Hegland stated the issue changed when it went from a family member living there to being able to rent it out. He asked if there is a refrigerator and, if so, was it part of the original plans with the bar. He also asked if there is a range hood. Ms. Colleen replied the refrigerator was part of the original plans. She added that a range hood was installed. Commissioner Hegland stated as far as meeting code for the original request, the only real problem is the stove and range hood. Director Ericson replied that is correct. Commissioner Miller stated she has no problem with the R-2 designation due to the location and similarly zoned properties on the same street. Commissioner Hull asked if there are any driveways besides in front of the garage. Ms. Colleen replied there is a driveway in front of the garage with a turnaround; room for four vehicles. Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:37 p.m. Barbara Haake, 3024 County Road I, noted the property is R-1 and asked how is the zoning within the comp plan, and would it be a spot rezoning. Chair Stevenson replied that the comp plan would need to be amended to reflect the new zoning. Commissioner Zwirn asked why the one resident verbally opposed the rezoning. Planning Associate Heller replied it was due to past issues with the property and the amount of cars. Commissioner Miller stated if the property stays R-1 they could still have as many cars. Chair Stevenson stated there would be no additional driveways and no change in the amount of allowable parking with R-2. Commissioner Hull asked what would happen if the applicant moves, does it stay R-2. Chair Stevenson replied yes, it would remain R-2. Commissioner Scotch stated an R-2 usually has two housing units. She asked if a stipulation could be added regarding the number of cars in the driveway. Chair Stevenson replied no. Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:42 p.m.
