Mounds View Planning Commission November 3, 2021 Regular Meeting Page 4 Boarding Facility at 5491 Adams Street requiring a six to eight foot solid fence along the apartment side of the property along with a landscaping buffer. Ayes — 6 Nays — 0 Motion carried. B. Resolution 1141-21, Recommending Approval of the Preliminary and Final Plat of Skyline; and Zoning Map Amendment; Planned Unit Development; Development Review; and Wetland Alteration Permit for The Villas of Mounds View Community Development Director Sevald stated the applicant, The Villas of Mounds View, LP (MWF Properties) is proposing to redevelop the former Skyline Motel into The Villas of Mounds View, consisting of a 120-unit apartment building. The project will feature senior (55+), affordable housing. The project has two parts; (1) subdivision; and (2) everything else. For the purposes of the Planning Commission, both are grouped into one resolution. They will be separated for the City Council's public hearings. The subdivision is applicable to both The Villas and Bio-Clean, whereas "everything else" is applicable to The Villas only. Community Development Director Sevald reported specific to the Subdivision, there are a number of revisions necessary. Staff's intent is for the Developer to complete necessary items prior to the City Council's November 22nd Public Hearing, and for the Subdivision to be approved with conditions requiring administrative review/approval. This is necessary to keep the project on schedule for applying for financial assistance from the State by January, 2022. Community Development Director Sevald explained the plat; Skyline, will combine four parcels into Lot 1 for The Villas of Mounds View (apartment building), and will add land onto the Bio- Clean property (Lot 2). Bio-Clean installs industrial washing equipment into the backs of straight trucks (large cargo vans), and has been at this location since 1981. Bio-Clean is planning a building addition within 2-3 years. Depending on the size of the addition, it is likely it will require a Development Review at that time (not now). Bio-Clean previously received a Variance to reduce the rear yard building setback, from 40' to 30' (Resolution 420-95), and a Development Review in 2004 for a building expansion (Resolution 6283). Staff commented further on the request and recommended tabling action to the November 17, 2021 meeting to allow for additional information to be submitted to staff. Peter Worthington, MWF Properties, thanked staff for the thorough staff report. He explained he was available for comments or questions. Commissioner Monn asked how the shared driveway would work between three different entities. Mr. Worthington stated the property would have a shared access easement on the north side and noted MWF would be responsible for plowing the driveway. Commissioner Nelson questioned if the stormwater collection area would be fenced. Mr. Worthington commented he was not planning to fence this area.
