Mounds View City Council October 10, 2005 Regular Meeting Page 13 • Mayor Marty opened the public hearing at 8:27 p.m. There were no comments made at the public hearing. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To continue the public hearing and consideration of the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 763, an Ordinance Authorizing the Vacation of an Excess Drainage and Utility Easement Associated with the SYSCO Addition Plat to the October 24, 2005 Council meeting, New Brighton City Hall, at 7:05 p.m. Ayes-5 Nays-0 Motion carried. C. Consideration of Resolution 6633, a Resolution Approving a Development Review for an 8,300 Square Foot Building at 2395 County Road 10 Community Development Director Ericson stated Dr. Greg Belting along with his brother, Tom Beltin, of Silverview Chiropractic Clinic (currently located at 2552 County Road 10) has entered into an agreement to purchase the empty lot behind Walgreens and would like to construct an 8,300 square foot multi-tenant building for himself and other small office type uses. The single story building would be situated against the back of the lot so that the back of the building would front the wetland area rather than the Community Center. • He indicated the City Council approved Dr. Belting's request for an amendment to the Walgreen's PUD in July, 2005 to permit "office" uses as an allowable use on this site, which was originally guided for a restaurant use.

The parcel is a five-sided polygon with minimal street frontage on Edgewood Drive. To be north of the parcel is the Community Center, to the west is City Hall, to the east is the wetland and open space area, and to the south is the Walgreens store. The site is adjacent to County Road 10, the City's primary commercial corridor, and has a County Road 10 address. Rice Creek Watershed District at their meeting on September 28, 2005 conditionally approved the stormwater and drainage permit, indicating that the plans were an improvement from the original drainage plan. He indicated the typical parking requirement for an office type use are 8 stalls plus one stall per every 175 square feet of leased office space. For an office building with a gross area of 8300 square feet, 55 parking stalls would need to be provided. Because the City calculates parking needs on a net basis, factoring out bathrooms, mechanical areas, entryways, stairwells and other • similar areas, the number of required stalls will be available on the adjacent Walgreens site as was originally the plan with the Walgreens Planned Unit Development.
