Mounds View Planning Commission March 19, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked how this happened. <br /> <br />Mr. Zinser indicated that the building official had signed off on the plans and granted the <br />building permit but Staff had later learned of an additional setback requirement that newly <br />constructed homes not be any farther forward than the forward most home on the block and that <br />is the setback requirement they are in violation of. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />5. Discussion pertaining to a Code Amendment to regulate the location and licensure <br />of Pawn Shops in Mounds View. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson asked the Commission to discuss and provide <br />direction to Staff as to whether they felt it necessary to include language governing precious <br />metal dealers with this amendment. <br /> <br />Mr. Przetycki indicated he holds a precious metal dealer’s license in Hennepin County and it is <br />simply a $50.00 fee he pays each year to receive a certificate he hangs on the wall of his <br />business. He then ind icated he intends to file an application with Ramsey County and the fee is <br />$175.00 for the license. He further commented that he did not think it would be a bad thing to <br />include the requirement for a precious metal dealer’s license. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indic ated he would like to check with Ramsey County to see what the benefit of <br />the licensing fee is. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked whether there should be any requirements for furs. <br /> <br />Mr. Przetycki indicated he would be applying for a pawnshop license as well as a second hand <br />dealer’s license and furs should be covered with one of those two licenses. He further <br />commented that he did not intend to take in many, if any, fur pieces. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn commented that this license is much like the federal fire arms licensure in <br />that it is a way to have the business registered as a way of tracking if there is a crime committed. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if pawnshops take in guns. <br /> <br />Mr. Przetycki indicated that some pawnshops do take in guns but others do not and he does not <br />plan to do so as it is not something he knows about. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn asked if Mr. Przetycki would be taking in boats trailers or cars. <br /> <br />Mr. Przetycki indicated he would need a vehicle dealer’s license to take in cars, boats and <br />trailers. He then said that he could only take in what can be properly stored on his site. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn specifically asked if Mr. Przetycki intended to take in large items such as <br />vehicles that he intended to store outside in the parking area.
