Mounds View Planning Commission April 2, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Mr. Zinser explained that the house on Lot 2 was shown back at 41 feet because the purchaser <br />had asked that it be located there to avoid damage to as many mature oak trees on the lot as <br />possible. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 8:05 p.m. <br /> <br />The Commission asked whether Mr. Zinser and the homeowners were aware of the requirement <br />that if the home is destroyed it has to be rebuilt at the proper setback. <br /> <br />Mr. Zinser and the homeowner indicated they were aware of the requirement and had no issue <br />with it. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hegland/Song. To Approve Resolution 720-03A a Resolution Approving <br />an 11 Foot Front Setback at 7741 Long Lake Road as Amended. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 1(Zwirn) Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Discuss Proposed No Parking Request on Greenfield Avenue <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson reviewed with the Commission the discussion from <br />the Council meeting concerning the recommendation to post Greenfield Avenue no parking and <br />asked for direction from the Commission as to how they wished to proceed on the matter. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated he had gone out to the site and measured and that it is possible to park <br />three cars from 30 feet back from the stop sign and keep them in front of the property involved. <br />A fourth car could be added but not contained entirely in front of the business. <br /> <br />Director Ericson asked whether the Commission wanted to amend its recommendation to allow <br />three or four cars to park in front of the business and then post no parking from that point to 350 <br />feet or reaffirm its previous recommendation of no parking. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn indicated that each and every time Mr. Farrell has mentioned working with <br />the City the caveat has been that he would expand the parking lot as long as the City did not <br />prohibit parking on the street. He then asked whether expanding the driveway to allow vertical <br />parking would be allowed. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the City’s Code would not allow that but said it is a possibility <br />provided there is a safe drive aisle. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson expressed concern for fire truck access. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the fire department prefers 24-foot drive aisles but there are some <br />at 18 feet within the City. He then said the fire department would need to review any proposed <br />site plan.
