Mounds View City Council June 12, 2023 Regular Meeting Page 9 1 Development Director Sevald stated the driveway was installed without a permit. 3 Acting Mayor Meehlhause indicated he could support the driveway being reduced to 30 feet. The 4 Council was in agreement. 6 Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if there were any questions for the property at 7830. 8 Dan Dryer, 7830 Spring Lake Road, discussed how unusual his property was and noted his 9 driveway was installed back in 1975. He commented on how the trail would reduce the length of 10 his driveway and he could now only store two cars in his driveway. He reported he was not allowed 11 to park cars on the roadway in front of his home. He asked that his driveway be reconstructed to 12 include a parking pad in order to allow him ample parking space on his property. He explained the 13 parking pad would be permeable and grass would be able to grow through it. 14 15 Council Member Gunn stated she supported the choice of the material being used for the proposed 16 parking pad. 17 18 Acting Mayor Meehlhause noted this plan would require a variance for a second curb cut. Mr. 19 Dryer reported this was the case. 20 21 Council consensus was to support the second curb cut and parking pad for the property at 7830. 22 23 Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if there were any questions for the property at 7850. 24 25 Community Development Director Sevald explained the driveway on this property would have to 26 shift five feet away from the property line, which would push the driveway into the house. For this 27 reason, staff was recommending a variance to allow the existing driveway to remain as is. 28 29 Council consensus was to support the driveway remaining as is for the property at 7850. 30 31 MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Cermak.
