Mounds View City Council April 13, 2020 Regular Meeting Page 3 City Administrator Zikmund discussed how the rise in workers compensation cases would increase in the coming weeks and how this burden would have to be carried by cities in the metro area. He stated he was thankful that the Mounds View Police Department has not had any of its officers test positive for COVID-19 to date. He understood it would benefit the City and its police officers to continue practicing social distancing. He recommended the Council direct staff to draft a letter for the Mayor to sign expressing the City’s support of funding to offset the disproportional impact of COVID-19. Mayor Mueller suggested action on this vote be postponed until later in the meeting to allow for Council Member Bergeron to be present. The Council supported this recommendation. 8. COUNCIL BUSINESS A. Public Hearing: Resolution 9256; Approval of Conditional Use Permit for an Oversized Garage at 8012 Edgewood Drive. Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council consider approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage at 8012 Edgewood Drive. He explained this property was zoned R-1 and a Conditional Use Permit was required for garages larger than 952 square feet. It was noted the existing garage would be removed and would be replaced with a new garage that will be 1,008 square feet. He reported in 2003 the City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage for a neighboring property. Staff commented further on the request and recommended approval. Mayor Mueller indicated these types of requests typically go before the Planning Commission. She asked why this matter was not reviewed by the Planning Commission. Community Development Director Sevald stated due to the COVID-19 crisis the Planning Commission did not hold a meeting and make a recommendation to the City Council regarding this request. Council Member Meehlhause commented for the record this item would have come before the City Council for final approval and noted the Planning Commission was a recommending body for Conditional Use Permits. Cory Milczark, 8012 Edgewood Drive, explained he had a very small garage and he was requesting a new garage in order to allow him to park his vehicles indoors. He thanked the Council for their consideration of his request.
