Mounds View City Council Page 5 <br />• Regular Meeting April 24, 1995 <br />allows for garages in excess of 864 square feet, up to 1,264 square <br />feet, with the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit. Application <br />and plans have been submitted by the applicant and the request is <br />in compliance with Municipal Code. The Planning Commission has <br />reviewed this item and has recommended approval of the Conditional <br />Use Permit. <br />Councilmember Blanchard asked if this garage was to be attached to <br />a new home being built and Mr. Harrington replied that it was. <br />Cameron Obert, 8315 Greenwood Drive, expressed concern that there <br />could be a future request to operate a business out of the garage. <br />Mayor Linke closed the public hearing at 8:06 p.m. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Linke to Adopt Resolution No. 4760 Approving <br />a Conditional Use Permit to Allow an Oversized Garage for Anthony <br />Honkomp, 2908 Ardan Avenue <br /> Councilmember Trude said that the neighbors in the area of the <br /> proposed home are very happy to see the improvements to this <br /> property. <br /> VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried <br /> Consideration of Resolution No. 4759 Approving the Grant <br /> Application for Redevelop ment of Woodcrest Park <br />Mayor Linke opened the public hearing at 8:07 p.m. <br />Mary Saarion, Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry, advised <br />that she was preparing an Outdoor Recreation Grant for improvements <br />to Woodcrest Park. The park is located in the southwestern section <br />of the City and, because of the storm water management issues, this <br />has been a difficult park to maintain. Repairs are needed on the <br />park building and, if the parking lot were to be paved, it could be <br />used for rollerblading, basketball, and other hard court play <br />activities. <br />The grant proposal would include storm water management details. <br />The City Consulting Engineer suggested that the ditches could be <br />culverted and filled in. This would create more parkland area and <br />take away any safety concern because of the open ditch. To solve <br />the storm water drainage problem, a small holding pond would be <br />built which would drain into the abutting wetland area. <br />The grant would provide 50 percent funding for the project. The <br />City's portion could come from Park Improvement funds and Storm <br />Water Management funds. The grant is due May 1, 1995 and awards <br />will be announced in August, 1995. <br />
