Mounds View City Council June 24, 2019 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause questioned if memory care would occur in these homes. Mr. Hanf <br />was uncertain and noted his partner Andrea Temple would be making this decision. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn stated this was an interesting concept and noted this would provide a new <br />type of housing that was not already available in the City. She indicated she could support this <br />project moving forward. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause agreed this was an intriguing concept. He stated he understood <br />there was a need for assisted living in the community. He supported this project moving <br />forward. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron indicated he too was in favor of exploring this concept further. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller commented she did not support the proposal moving forward. She explained she <br />would rather see single family homes on these lots versus assist living units. She expressed <br />concern with the number of lower level units and how individuals in these bedrooms would <br />escape if there happened to be a fire. <br /> <br />Mr. Carlson reported the four homes would have a walkout basement. He explained each <br />basement bedroom would have an egress window. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller asked who would be responsible for yard maintenance. Mr. Carlson indicated a <br />yard company would be contracted to complete this work. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn questioned when the applicant would like to begin this project. Mr. <br />Carlson explained he and his partners were coordinating this project with the City. He stated his <br />goal would be to begin the homes yet this summer. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked how this project could proceed given the fact the Comprehensive <br />Plan was not yet approved. Community Development Director Sevald indicated the homes could <br />not be occupied for assisted living until the zoning was changed. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause stated the City had just rezoned several properties. Community <br />Development Director Sevald reported this was the case and noted these rezonings were <br />completed to fix an error that occurred 20 years ago in the Zoning Map. He explained these <br />rezonings did not change the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to direct staff to move forward with this project. <br /> <br />8.
