Mounds View City Council June 8, 2020 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br /> <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller reported the next appeal was from the property owners at 5425 Quincy Street. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn asked how staff addressed properties where adjoining driveways had one <br />from asphalt and the other from concrete. Public Works Director Peterson explained the City <br />replaces driveways with their existing material, noting the aprons were always concrete. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause stated he was inclined to support this appeal noting there was a <br />similar situation along County Road H. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron questioned if the two driveways were in compliance individually so <br />long as the bump remains. Community Development Director Sevald explained the driveway at <br />5433 was in compliance because of the variance and the driveway at 5425 was not. <br /> <br />Council Member Bergeron stated as long as the bump was in place, he could support the driveway <br />appeal. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Bergeron/Mueller. To Deny the Curb Cut and Approve the Property <br />Owner’s Side Yard Setback Appeal for the property at 5425 Quincy Street related to the Quincy <br />Street Reconstruction Project. <br /> <br />A roll call vote was taken. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller stated the last appeal was for the property at 5453 Quincy Street. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause requested further information regarding this appeal. Community <br />Development Director Sevald explained the current driveway was somewhere between two and <br />three feet from the property line. He indicated the City was proposing to install the driveway five <br />feet from the property line. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause stated he was inclined to deny this request. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller questioned how the property owner would be able to sneak a car out while the <br />trailer is parked in the driveway. Community Development Director Sevald explained the trailer <br />could remain as is. He noted the driveway would remain the width of the garage, not the garage <br />door. He commented the property owners would lose roughly two or three feet of driveway width <br />at the street. <br /> <br />Mayor Mueller stated the property owners had a very large trailer that they were backing in and <br />out of the driveway. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause commented this property owner may not always reside in the home. <br />
