<br /> <br />7:15 p.m. Public Hearing, Resolution 7984, a Conditional Use Permit for Tires n More, a Tire and Auto Repair Business located at 2832 County Road 10. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller requested the Council consider a conditional use permit request for the property at 2832 County Road 10. She explained the applicant, Naoufel Soussi, was proposing <br /> to use the property as a tire store and auto repair business. She noted the site was located along the County Road 10 corridor and was currently vacant. Staff reviewed the land map <br /> and Comprehensive Plan Land Use Maps for this property. She indicated the site was Community Commercial currently and in the future is designated to Mixed Use Commercial. She noted <br /> the proposed use fit well into the County Road 10 corridor. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller further discussed the parking lot for this parcel noting the applicant was applying for a variance given the fact the CVS development directly adjacent to the <br /> site had developed prior to this site without completing the parking lot jointly. She stated the parking lot improvements would greatly enhance the site. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller commented the applicant was proposing to screen between the site and the residential homes with a six to eight foot privacy fence. The fence would provide <br /> screening along with additional security to the site. She noted she spoke with the Fire Marshal regarding the site and there were some concerns with tire storage. For this reason, <br /> sprinklers may need to be added to the building. The City would give the applicant one year to complete this task, given the expense of the sprinkler system. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller explained the Planning Commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit for Tires N More at their August 15th meeting. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br /> <br />Hearing no public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Member Hull asked if the neighbors had been informed of the public hearing. Planning Associate Heller commented neighbors were notified along with CVS and no comments have been <br /> brought to the City. She indicated she would continue to work with CVS and the applicant to resolve the parking lot concerns. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty welcomed Mr. Soussi to the City of Mounds View and questioned the hours of operation for Tires N More. Naoufel Soussi, the applicant, explained the business would be <br /> open Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Member Mueller clarified that Rydell Auto Group does sell tires and repairs vehicles in the City. She then asked how the site would be accessed from County Road 10. Mr. Soussi <br /> explained that after work was completed traffic would be directed to the CVS entrance with traffic routed to the rear of the building. Planning Associate Heller explained that a shared <br /> cross
