Item No: 6 Meeting Date: May 5, 2004 Type of Business: Public Hearing and Discussion City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Kristin Prososki, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Review of a Proposed Major Subdivision, Rezoning and Development Review of Land Located at the Southwest Corner of the Intersection of County Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road; Planning Case MA2004-002, DE2004- 001 and ZC2004-001 Introduction: The Velmeir Companies, represented by Jim LaValle, has submitted an application for a major subdivision, rezoning and development review of the land at the southwest corner of the intersection of County Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road, the former Amoco gasoline station. The site has 5.54 acres. The parcels are currently zoned B-3, R-3 and R-4. The applicant is requesting that portions of the R-3 and R-4 parcels be rezoned to B-3. The proposed use for the development is a CVS Pharmacy. Background: This site at 2800 Highway 10 is currently vacant and was formerly a BP Amoco gasoline station. Three underground storage tanks, the associated piping and contaminated soils were removed from the site on June 7, 2001. Subdivision Discussion: The applicant is proposing to develop a CVS Pharmacy on the former Amoco site. The plat area involves four parcels, with the former Amoco site consisting of two parcels that would be combined along with portions of two surrounding parcels (collectively referred to as “CVS parcel”). The CVS parcel (Lot 2 on Preliminary Plat) would consist of the two Amoco parcels and a small triangular shaped piece from the parcel directly south of it, which is owned by Michael Fox. In addition, the CVS parcel would also have a portion of the lot directly to the west of it, which has roughly fifty-five (55) feet of frontage on Highway 10, but then gets significantly wider two hundred fifty (250) feet to the south. The CVS parcel would absorb thirty (30) feet of the long narrow portion and approximately 23,622 square feet for on-site ponding. The CVS parcel would have a total area of 95,092 square feet. Silverview Terrace, the 23-unit apartment building owned by Michael Fox (Lot 3) would decrease in size to 53,165 ft square feet. The property located at 2832 Highway 10 (Lot 1), otherwise known as the Pak Building, would be altered by adding additional square footage from the flag shaped lot. This lot would increase in area to 56,313 square feet. The building on Lot 1 does not currently meet the side setback requirements; adding the additional square feet will allow the building to conform to code. The plat shows that Lot 1 also gains a long, narrow strip of land (roughly 25’ by 480’) extending to the south. The “tail” of Lot 1 is unusable space and may pose maintenance problems in the future. Staff has communicated to the applicant that the “tail” be deleted from Lot 1 and added to Lots 2 and 4. Lot 4 of the plat is the remnant parcel left from the original flag lot. The plat as submitted would land-lock Lot 4, rendering it
