Mayor McCarty opened the Public Hearing at 7:22 p.m. Mr. Jim Ericson, Planning Associate explained that an application was submitted to the city for a conditional use permit to allow for minor auto repair at 2975 Highway 10. This would allow for the operation of a quick Lube facility with services to include fluid exchange, wiper replacement, headlight replacement and other similar work. The applicant has indicated his intent to redevelop the site to high aesthetic standards. Mr. Ericson noted that as proposed, the building does meet the setback requirements. They are providing an • adequate number of parking spaces and they are proposing to completely redo the access and parking areas, eliminating the accesses from Highway 10 and providing a single access along Spring Lake Road. Additional information was provided in regard to the proposed lighting, signage, drainage, etc. for the proposed facility. Attorney Long suggested that an Item 11 be added to Page 7 of Resolution 5105 to read as follows: 11. Prior to the issuance of building permits, the applicant shall execute a Development Contract in compliance with Section 1006.06, Subd. 4 of the Mounds View Municipal Code. Council member Stigney noted that in reviewing the site plan he noted that the south side of the property facing Highway 10 is landscaped to the west side of the parking lot, however there is no landscaping East to Spring Lake Road. He thinks some shrubbery in that area would provide a more aesthetically pleasing view from Highway 10. Ron Ostrander, representing the applicant, noted that this is the only area on the site where snow can be plowed during the Winter months and therefore he does not think they would survive in that location. Council member Trude stated she is concerned that anything there will obstruct visibility. Mayor McCarty stated would suggest that the Council deal with the application as presented and direct staff to work with the applicant over the upcoming weeks and see if something can be worked out for that area. He noted that Mr. Ericson could bring any recommendations back to the Council at a later date. Mayor McCarty closed the Public Hearing at 7:35 p.m MOTION/SECOND: Trude/Koopmeiners to approve Resolution 5105, A resolution Approving a Conditional . Use Permit for Minor Auto Repair for Spots Quick Lube, 2795 Highway 10, AS AMENDED to include Item 11 on Page 7.
