Mounds View City Council September 22, 2008 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br />. Clerk Administrator Ericson noted that Council Member Flaherty had commented that he does <br />not feel that nine chokers would be necessary. <br />Ayes - 4 Nays - 0 Motion carried. <br />G. Resolution 7338 Approving the Policy to Address Non-Conforming Driveways <br />within the Street and Utility Improvement Program. <br />Joe Rhein, consulting engineer with Bonestroo, provided an overview of Resolution 7338 which <br />addresses non-conforming driveways within the street and utility improvement program. <br />Mayor Marry indicated that he likes the curb cut request application and would like to see staff <br />utilize that. He then said that he received feedback from people who were grandfathered in with <br />a second curb cut and there was a policy, during assessing for streets, that seniors could have <br />costs deferred. <br />Council Member Mueller said that she does not think it fair to limit the deferral to seniors only. <br />Mayor Marty indicated that it was not just limited to seniors. <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson said that there are no assessments so it would be payments that <br />would need to be deferred and Staff would need to look into how to implement any type of <br />deferral process. <br />Attorney Riggs explained that deferrals are limited by state statute. <br />Mike Read of 2208 Lois Drive indicated that he put a garage on the slab that already existed but <br />has no driveway there and he could not, based on some of the conditions listed, have a second <br />curb cut. Mr. Read said that he does not see why he could not have a second curb cut. Mayor <br />Marty explained that the garage he constructed on his property was approved with the condition <br />that there be no second curb cut and that is why. <br />Clerk Administrator Ericson explained that a variance request is an option but, hardship would <br />need to be proven to the Planning Commission and City Council. <br />D. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Mueller. To Waive the Reading and Approve <br />Resolution 7338 Approving the Policy to Address Non-Conforming Driveways <br />within the Street and Utility Improvement Program as Amended during <br />discussions with Joe Rhein. <br />Council Member Mueller said that she is concerned about a resident on Red Oak Drive and if <br />she would like two accesses as she wants a horseshoe shaped drive and she wonders how the <br />process would work. <br />
