Public Hearing: Resolution 9443, Approving the Preliminary Plat of Anthony Properties, Second Addition; Amending the PUD Narrative for the O’Neil Property; and Approving a Development Review for Caribou Cabin; 2404 Mounds View Boulevard. Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council approve the Preliminary Plat of Anthony Properties, Second Addition; Amending the PUD narrative for the O’Neil Property; and approve a Development Review for Caribou Cabin at 2404 Mounds View Boulevard. He stated the applicant is proposing to subdivide a portion of the movie theater parking lot for a Caribou Cabin for a drive-thru coffee shop. He reviewed the proposed subdivision in further detail with the Council noting the location of the Caribou Cabin. He explained the subdivision requires a public hearing. He reported the Planning Commission reviewed this item on July 7, 2021, discussed traffic and parking concerns, and recommended approval. He stated the applicant submitted a revised Preliminary Plat to the City last week. Staff recommended the project not be approved this evening in order to allow staff more time to review these new plans, but that the Public Hearing be held. It was noted this item would come back to the Council for consideration on July 26, 2021. Mayor Mueller opened the public hearing at 7:02 p.m. Bob King, 7408 Silver Lake Road, asked what the City would be gaining through this project. He questioned if the City had considered having a Dunkin Donuts at this location instead. Mayor Mueller reported this was private property and not City owned property, which meant the market would drive the use. Community Development Director Sevald added that it was up to the property owner and developer to determine the use on this land. He indicated a park dedication would be paid to the City for this project. Hearing no further public input, Mayor Mueller closed the public hearing at 7:05 p.m. Mark Krough, Java Companies, stated he was super excited to be bringing the Caribou Cabin concept to the City of Mounds View. He noted this would be a drive-thru only coffee shop. He believed this use would be a great offsetting use adjacent to Moe’s and the movie theater. Council Member Meehlhause asked if Caribou would manage the cabin or would this be a franchise. Mr. Krough reported this site would be managed by corporate. Council Member Meehlhause requested further information about what it would mean to have two Caribou’s in Mounds View. Mr. Krough explained each location had different AM traffic patterns. He estimated 75% of Caribou’s businesses was during the AM peak traffic hours. Mayor Mueller thanked Mr. Krough for attending this meeting. MOTION: Meehlhause. To Table Action on Resolution 9443, Approving the Preliminary Plat of Anthony Properties, Second Addition; Amending the PUD Narrative for the O’Neil Property; and
