FESTIVITIES COMMISSION ORDINANCE
MSP (Pickar - Ziebarth) to adopt Ordinance #273, adopting the Festivities Commission
as an official commission of Mounds View. 5 ayes
MID- AMERICAN AUTO, INC. - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND LICENSE
Administrator Achen reported that Mid - American Auto has created three additional
customer parking spaces and converted five previous customer parking spaces to
show parking, and stated that the Staff had drawn up a plan which showed considera-
bly less parking spaces than Mid- American was showing.
Mr. Getz, owner of Mid- American Auto stated that the parking spaces he had drawn
in were 10.5' wide, which was wider than the required 9.5'.
Mayor Pickar asked if the parking plan drawn up by the City was acceptable to
Mr. Getz. Mr. Getz replied that the 37 spaces would be acceptable but that he felt
he could fit many more in. Mayor Pickar questioned if the one area would be paved
to allow for more parking. Mr. Getz replied that he would have it paved in the
Spring.
Councilmember Baumgartner questioned what was being planned for the junk and so
forth. Mr. Getz questioned how long he would have to get the junk out. He also
stated that he had been under the impression that what was being done inside the
building would not bother others.
Mayor Pickar asked Mr. Getz how long he would need to get the junk moved out. Mr.
Getz replied that he would like to wait until warm weather. Mayor Pickar also
questioned if the garbage truck had a canvas over it. Mr. Getz replied that it
did. Mayor Pickar asked if 60 days would be ample time for Mr. Getz to remove
the junk.
Councilmember Baumgartner stated that he did not feel the City should be asking
Mr. Getz how long he wanted, that instead the City should be setting a time limit
with which he must comply. He also pointed out that if Mr. Getz was able to get
the junk in during the winter, he could also get it out during the winter.
MSP (Pickar- Rowley) to direct Mid- American Auto, Inc. to clean up the area, removing
the items as indicated in the report to the Council by April 1, 1978 and that
Mid - American Auto, Inc. comform to the parking plan as directed by the City on the
display map, and that the major repair of cars not be allowed, and that the use be
limited to a maximum of 37 cars, with 10 spaces marked for customer parking and
that the area presently used for parking on the grass be paved no later than
July 1, 1978.
Mr. Getz asked if the limit of 37 cars included the area to be paved. Mayor
Pickar replied that it did.
Mr. Getz also stated that he would like a one month extension for removing the
junk. Councilmember Rowley recommended that Mr. Getz remove all possible junk now
and that if he ran into problems with any particular items, that he contact the
City at that time for an extension.
