Bill Syricks, Pinewood Drive, noted that the city was paying for one-half of the assessments on Bronson Drive and wondered if they would be doing so on future assessment projects. Mayor Linke explained that this is generally how it has been done and he would expect that they will be paying a portion of the assessments for future projects as well. There were no other comments from the floor. PUBLIC HEARINGS: Public Hearing and Consideration of Resolution No. 5041, approving a Conditional Use Permit for the joint use of parking facilities at Mounds View Square Shopping Center at 2535-2585 Highway 10. Mayor Linke opened the Public Hearing at 7:10 p.m. Ms. Sheldon, Community Development Director, explained that the owners of the Mounds View Shopping Center are anticipating an expansion of the shopping center to include 5,000 additional feet of retail space and two dinner house style restaurants which would replace Bridgeman's and Hardee's. The expansion would result in 23 of the existing parking spaces being eliminated and leaving 454 spaces on the site. The Planning Commission approved a variance in the parking ratios and has recommended that the Council approve a Conditional Use Permit for the joint use of parking facilities at Mounds View Square Shopping Center. This would allow parking requirements to be adjusted where there are two or more uses located on the same property which have offsetting parking demands. The Planning Commission feels that the difference between required spaces and available spaces could be addressed through joint use between daytime and nighttime uses of the parking spaces. Ms. Sheldon noted that the recommendation by the Planning Commission requires that some conditions be met. She proceeded to address these. Ms. Trude noted that these are merely perspective plans and by approving the Conditional Use Permit, it provides the owners the ability to address the concerns prior to negotiating with any prospective tenant.
