Item 05B Page 2 of 9 The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community 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 In 2019, the CUP was revoked, in part due to these violations (Res. 9108). Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Create and maintain a positive business climate where businesses want to locate and remain in Mounds View. Financial Impact: (none) Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 1122-20, approving a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage, including replacing the existing western 6’ wooden fence, with an 8’ fence to match the proposed 8’ eastern fence. The Planning Commission is requested to consider the following options: 1. Approve Resolution 1122-20, Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage as an Accessory Use. 2. Recommend Denial of Resolution 1122-20, with Findings. 3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be made, the Commission may Table the request until such information is provided. Because of the 60-Day Rule (deadline: November 18, 2020), this would need to come back to the Commission at its October 21st or November 4th meeting, or Staff may extend the City’s review past 60-Days by providing notice and reasoning to the applicant. A Public Hearing is scheduled for the October 12, 2020 City Council meeting. Notice was published in the September 29, 2020 Shoreview Press, and mailed to property owners within 350’ of the subject property.
