• Page 4 November 25, 1996 Mounds View City Council Mayor Linke asked if the owners will continue to allow for Christmas Tree Sales and Linders Greenhouse to locate on the site. He could see potential problems if parking spaces are already reduced and then furthermore by having these types of sales stands located there. The owners reminded the Council that these types of stands must be licensed by the City. Furthermore, in no way would they jeopardize the parking at the center to allow for the sale of Christmas Trees, etc. Mayor Linke closed the Public Hearing at 7:20 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: TrudeBlanchard to Approve 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. VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried Public Hearing and Consideration of Resolution No. 5042, Approving an Amended Conditional Use Permit and a Development Review for Expansion of the Saturn Dealership at 2375 and 2395 Highway 10. • Ms. Sheldon explained that this request was based on a Conditional Use Permit that was issued in 1992, and amended in 1994. The new request is to amend the Conditional Use Permit again to expand the site to include the Citgo property to the northwest, adding five additional service bays and a one bay car wash. The owners noted they are merely trying to respond to customer demand. Ms. Sheldon noted that Resolution No. 50421ists all of the criteria that applies to this application, and it is the Planning Commission and staffs feelings that this criteria can be met by the proposal. Additionally, a list of conditions has been included in the resolution which must be met in the proposal. She proceeded to go through the list of conditions. Council member Blanchard stated she had received telephone calls in regard to this proposal. The residents were concerned that this was expanding to much more than what they originally proposed. They are not unhappy with the project, but they are concerned about the continuous expansions. One other concern was that the business is turning into a used car lot rather than a new car lot. Ms. Sheldon stated that the proposal really does not provide a great deal more of parking space. It is mostly providing more building space to allow for more service area. Mayor Linke stated the owners were informed that this was primarily to be a new car dealership. Council member Quick suggested that the following changes be made to the conditions on Resolution No. 5042, pages 7 & 8: 3. Vehicle repair, servicing and maintenance are permitted on this site, excluding body work and painting. All car repairs shall be conducted within the indoor service bays and not outside the service building and doors on service buildings must remain closed at all times except when cars are being moved in and out of the bays.
