Mounds View City Council June 26, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 13 Planning Associate Heller stated the majority of the parking is asphalt, and adding additional square footage to equal 67 parking stalls is not an issue. Planning Associate Heller explained that the setback would not change and that the parking area would be increased by 75 feet to the north. She added that the north end of the property abuts a mobile home park and there is a large grassy hill separating the properties. She added Staff says it will continue to be an adequate buffer. She said notices were sent to individual homes within 350 feet, and Staff has not heard any feedback. She also added that Midwest Motor Express has contacted Rice Creek Watershed District to inquire if a permit will be needed from them. Mayor Marty opened the public hearing at 8:48 p.m. Mayor Marty closed the public hearing at 8:48 p.m. Councilmember Flaherty asked if the addition architecture will be consistent with the current building. Mr. Greenstein, of Midwest Motor Express, said the addition will be consistent. Mayor Marty asked about the resolution itself, which states under section three that development plans must be approved by Public Works for drainage. He asked about the Rice Creek Watershed District and pointed out drainage was not stated in the resolution. He asked if any ponding would be required. Planning Associate Heller said she does not know at this point or even if it will require a permit. Councilmember Gunn said her guess is the only impervious space increase would be with the asphalt on the parking lot, and it would not have a large effect. Mayor Marty said a similar situation came up with SYSCO and the Council understands the situation. MOTION/SECOND: GUNN/THOMAS.
