Mounds View City Council June 12, 2023 <br />Regular Meeting Page 9 <br /> <br />feet wide and the property owner has requested the driveway remain as is or that it be 30 feet wide. <br /> <br />Finance Director Beer reported any driveway width over 24 feet would have to be paid for by the <br />property owner. <br /> <br />Council Member Lindstrom asked why the driveway was constructed this way. Community <br />Development Director Sevald stated the driveway was installed without a permit. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause indicated he could support the driveway being reduced to 30 feet. The <br />Council was in agreement. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if there were any questions for the property at 7830. <br /> <br />Dan Dryer, 7830 Spring Lake Road, discussed how unusual his property was and noted his <br />driveway was installed back in 1975. He commented on how the trail would reduce the length of <br />his driveway and he could now only store two cars in his driveway. He reported he was not allowed <br />to park cars on the roadway in front of his home. He asked that his driveway be reconstructed to <br />include a parking pad in order to allow him ample parking space on his property. He explained the <br />parking pad would be permeable and grass would be able to grow through it. <br /> <br />Council Member Gunn stated she supported the choice of the material being used for the proposed <br />parking pad. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause noted this plan would require a variance for a second curb cut. Mr. <br />Dryer reported this was the case. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to support the second curb cut and parking pad for the property at 7830. <br /> <br />Acting Mayor Meehlhause asked if there were any questions for the property at 7850. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald explained the driveway on this property would have to <br />shift five feet away from the property line, which would push the driveway into the house. For this <br />reason, staff was recommending a variance to allow the existing driveway to remain as is. <br /> <br />Council consensus was to support the driveway remaining as is for the property at 7850. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Cermak. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 9757, <br />Approving Driveway Variances for Area K, 2023 Street Construction Projects as discussed. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br /> <br />C.
