Item 08A Page 2 of 9 into CVS Pharmacy (2005). In 2005, A Variance was approved for PAK to reduce the driveway setback, from 5' to 1' (Res. 810-05). Between 2004 and 2007, disputes occurred between representatives of the PAK property and Velmeir/CVS regarding drainage and easements. In 2005, the PAK building became vacant. City files include 2006-2009 history of parties interested in acquiring the PAK property, including; Anytime Fitness, a baseball/softball training facility; gun shop; thrift store; bike shop; computer repair; an Italian -American Club, restaurant; retail strip mall (with the Simons property), carpet store. PAK's representative was unresponsive to all inquiries. In 2011, the property entered foreclosure. In 2012, C & N Group, LLC (Tires N'More) purchased the property and obtained a CUP for Minor Auto Repair (Res 7984), with conditions of installing a 6' fence along the western property line, constructing a parking lot, and complying with the Fire Marshal's orders. In 2013, a Variance was approved allowing parking lot setbacks to be; front; 5'; east; 0' west front -half; 0' (Res 995-13). At that time, there was no driveway access along the east side of the Tires N'More building from front to back. Between 2012 and 2019, the City issued various violation orders related to tire storage and miscellaneous zoning violations. In 2019, the CUP was revoked, in part due to these violations (Res. 9108). Since 2016, parties interested in the property have included; indoor shooting range, concrete/asphalt contractor, used auto dealership, indoor playground/entertainment, Hmong cultural center, Liberian cultural center, auto accessory sales & installation, Bingo Hall, and a warehouse. In 2019, C & N Group inquired about redeveloping the property into apartments. Later that year, the property was listed for sale by the same realtor as Simons (2840 Mounds View Blvd) and the EDA property (7861 Groveland Road), in an effort to attract a joint -development. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Create and maintain a positive business climate where businesses want to locate and remain in Mounds View.
