Mounds View Planning Commission July 17, 2019 <br />Regular Meeting Page 4 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald reported this item would require a super majority (5 <br />votes) of the Commission in order to be approved. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 2 (Monn & Nelson) Motion failed. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald recommended the Commission make a motion to <br />table or deny the variance. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Nelson. To approve Resolution 1105-19, a Resolution <br />Recommending Denial of a Variance to allow a Second Driveway at 2809 Bronson Drive; <br />Planning Case No. VR2019-003. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klander stated he would not be voting to deny the request because he believed <br />this was a reasonable request. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Chair Stevenson/Commissioner Rundle. To Table Action on a Variance <br />to allow a Second Driveway at 2809 Bronson Drive; Planning Case No. VR2019-003 to allow <br />for more Commission members to be present. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 2 (Monn & Nelson) Motion carried. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald explained this item would come back to the <br />Commission for reconsideration on Wednesday, August 7th. <br /> <br />Commissioner Farmer stated he would not be able to attend the August 7th meeting. He noted he <br />supported the variance request because he believed it was a safety issue given the fact the <br />existing driveway only provided single car access. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rundle explained he could support the request because the home was located so <br />close to the property line, had a very narrow driveway, and because the applicant had space on <br />the side yard for a second garage. Further discussion ensued regarding the driveway and garage <br />plac ement. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klander stated he did not support a drive way running along the front of the house <br />to the new garage. He supported money being placed in escrow and that the second driveway be <br />removed within one year after the applicant’s mother -in-law was no longer living in the home. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson reported this item would be revisited on Wednesday, August 7th. <br />____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6.
