NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council makes the following finding of fact related to this request: 1. The lot in question, 2159 Mustang Drive, is zoned 1-1, Industrial. 2. The Future Land Use Map from the City's Comprehensive Plan designates this area as Light Industrial. 3. Bauer Welding is within the City's industrial park and as such, outdoor storage is not out of character for the surrounding area and the storage area driveway is not visible from the street or adjacent manufactured home park. 4. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that the gravel driveway is not causing problems with surrounding properties, as it has been in existence for over six years and the City has not received any complaints. Resolution 7808 Page 2 5. The approval of this conditional use permit amendment would not change the nature of the business operating on this site, and should have no affects on the surrounding area. 6. There does not appear to be any adverse effects associated with this proposed conditional use permit amendment for Bauer Welding. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves the conditional use permit amendment for Bauer Welding to remove the condition stating "the gravel driveway shall only be permitted for three years, at which time it must be constructed as a permanent improved driveway." Adopted this 11th day of July, 2011. J Flahe ATTEST: James Ericson, City Administrator (SEAL)
