Mounds View Planning Commission June 4, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />5. Zoning Code Amendment to Require CUP for any Expansion of Existing Multiple- <br />Family Dwellings <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated that this change to the Zoning Code would <br />require a CUP for any expansion of existing multiple-family dwellings. He then indicated that <br />the CUP would give the City the chance to review any proposed expansion to determine its <br />potential impact to the surrounding community. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if the City Attorney had reviewed the ordinance. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the City Attorney had reviewed the ordinance and found no issue <br />with it. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked whether the proposed change would take care of the concern that <br />parking would be allowed in the front yard. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the change does not address that issue and the parking <br />requirements in the ordinance allow for parking in the front yard. He then indicated that Staff <br />had spent a considerable amount of time searching through old documentation to determine <br />whether there had been any agreement to maintain the front yard area as green space. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the City has taken in a building permit application for the four- <br />plex that brought this issue to light but any subsequent applications will be required to go <br />through the CUP process. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Song/Stevenson. To Approve Resolution 730-03, a Resolution <br />Recommending Approval of an Amendment to the Zoning Code to Require a CUP for any <br />Expansion of Existing Multiple-Family Dwellings. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Consideration of the Acquisition of the Property Located Between 3016 and 3000 <br />County Road H2 <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman addressed the Commission and explained the <br />circumstances surrounding the property in question being able for purchase by the City. He then <br />indicated that the City is able to purchase the property for $68,901.14 as a tax forfeited parcel <br />from Ramsey County plus a small reconveyance fee. <br /> <br />Economic Development Coordinator Backman indicated the City currently owns or controls <br />approximately 6.5 acres on that block and acquiring this lot would further assist with the <br />residential redevelopment being considered. <br />
