Mounds View City Council June 12, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> <br />reported his intention would be to have four or six hens. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom stated he believed it was great that Mr. Curtis wanted to bring a little <br />bit of the country into the City for his kids. <br /> <br />Carol Mueller, 8343 Groveland Road, reported since the City adopted the opportunity to have <br />chickens, there has only been 10 to 12 families that have made the request. She commented on <br />how important it was for the Council to hear from the public when it comes to their yards, their <br />garbage, the environment, their quality of life and the ability to grow or raise their own food. <br /> <br />Barbara Haake, 3024 County Road I, explained she supported the Curtis families request. <br /> <br />Hearing no further public input, Acting Mayor Meehlhause closed the public hearing at 7:54 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Lindstrom/Gunn. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9756, <br />Approving a Chicken-Keeping License for Sarah Curtis, 7660 Spring Lake Road as amended. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />B. Resolution 9757, Approving Driveway Variances for Area K, 2023 Street <br />Construction Projects. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council approve driveway variances for <br />Area K within the 2023 Street Construction projects. He explained City Ordinance requires <br />driveways to be replaced as conforming as possible. He reported all aprons are replaced with <br />concrete and have to be set back five feet from the property line. He commented there were seven <br />properties that had non-conforming driveways within Area K. He stated variances would be <br />required for these seven driveways. He reviewed the seven variance requests in further detail with <br />the Council and recommended approval of each request. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom expressed concern with the fact the property at 7735 was not sent a <br />letter and therefore was not able to request a variance. Community Development Director Sevald <br />reported a non-conforming notice would be sent to this property and the property owner would be <br />able to request a variance. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if there were any questions for the property at 7775. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn questioned if only the area in red would be removed. Community <br />Development Director Sevald reported this would be the case if the variance were not approved. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to support the variance request at 7775 because of the bus access <br />that was required. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if there were any questions for the property at 7785. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald explained the current driveway was approximately 41
