Title:
Agenda Item: # 4
CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A REDUCED SIDE-YAItD
SETBACK AT 2442 LAPORT DRNE.
Iratroduction:
Spancer Mistelske, property owner of Lot 3, SMLTDER ADDN.., has applied for a variance to
construct a home at 2442 Laport Drive closer to the side lot line than is allowed according to the
City Code zoning requirements.
The reason why a variance is required in this situation is because the SMUDER plat included a
thirty-foot right-of-way, named Faber Street, which is adjacent to Lot 3 to the west. The City
Code requires that all buildings be set back 30 feet from any pubiic street or right of way. There
is no distinction made between improved or unimproved right of way, and nor should there be.
Please refer io the attached site plan and the Smuder Plat
Discr�ssiv�a:
Mr. Mistelske proposes to construct a house, which inclusive of the garage area, would be 75 feet
wide. Rather than eliminate a garage stall and part of the home, Mr. Mistelske is requesting a
variance from the requirement to maintain a 30-foot setback from the unimproved Faber Street
right of way. The 30-foot right of way was dedicated with the platting of the Smuder Addition in
1968. At 30 feet, this right of way cannot support a street and it is not anticipated that the right
of way would ever be improved without an additional 30 feet frozn the adjoining property to the
west.
While sta.ff would be in support of granting this variance, as the hardship to the applicant is clear;
the Planning Commission should give some thought as to ihe potential developrnent possibilities
of this particular area, especially considering that the City of Mounds View has control over
Smuder Addn.. Lot 4, directly south of Mr. Mistelske. As the Planning Commission is aware, the
City is Lindergoing a fairly exhaustive study of the wetlands south of Highway 10 (Old Highway
118) to determine with greater accuracy where the wetlands actually are.

The results of this study may greatly af�'ect the course of development in this area, making parcels
such as Lot 4 more attractive to developers.
1Recorreanesac�ation:
Direct staffto draft a resolution approving or denying the variance request of Mr. Mistelske. If
ihe Planning Commission were to approve a variance, staff would recommend that the home not
be any closer than 10 feet to the Faber Street right of way.

Planning Associate Ericson stated the general requirements considered for a Conditional Use Pernut
are outlined in the Staff Report. He advised that the specific requirements indicate the front yard
depth shall be a minimum of thirty-five feet, and this provision is met. He stated another requirement
provides that sideyards shall be no less than thirty feet, and staff believes this provision to be met as
well, however, there is an accessory building on the site which encroaches into the sideyard setback,
s::<:: �
and is located 20 feet from the property line. He explained that staff interprets t���'"provision to
address the Church structure, itself, and not any accessory structure f'
Planning Associate Ericson noted a specific requirement

landscaping is provided, particularly with the presence o�'
the mature trees and landscaping on the site.

Planning ��ociatc Ls-i�scs�� ���lained that with the second part of this request, the Development
Reviev�����here are dim�����asp�,��� �°equirements that must be met. He advised that all of these

req��i��ments have bee� ����� {���i�l�. the exception of the parking lot setback on the west side of the
prc�p�rty, along Long Lai��; Road. He provided the Commission with the site plan, which indicates
tl��t� ��� parking lot is a�t�'roximately two feet from the property line. He explained, however, even
,S��hat all the requirements are met, in that no alterations to the parking lot are
�ed that the parking lot represents a non-conforming situation, and unless the
sing to redo the parking lot, it should be allowed to remain.

provide 92 parking stalls, and at present there are 98 parking stalls on the site. He pointed out that
if the Planning Commission desires to consider the potential 48 additional temporary seats, as
indicated on the site plan, an additional twelve stalls would be required. He explained that if that
were the case, there would be a shortage of six parking stalls on site. He stated there is adequate

space to provide the additional six parking stalls, and if the Planning Corrunission wishes to enforce
that, staff recommends the site plan be redrawn to indicate proof of parking, rather than an actual
requirement that the developer provide the six stalls.
Planning Associate Ericson indicated staff feels a shortage of parking on the site _would be self

correcting, in that the congregation would certainly inform the Church., if addit��?�al parking is
necessary. He stated staff recommends the Commission allow the parki��, 'r.o ��ain as it is. He

explained that on Page 2, Item A of the StaffReport indicates the existing front yard setback for the
Church to be 90 feet along Long Lake Road. He noted with the expansion of the worship area, that
setback would decrease to 75 feet, which is well within the minimum setback requirement of 3 5 feet.

Commissioner Stevenson indicated that in the case of a joint driveway, this would represent 36 feet.
Corrunissioner Laube advised that driveways could not be adjoined without approval from Ramsey
County.
Corrunissioner Stevenson stated he was referring to those situations where the driveways are joined,
and one continuous curb cut is permitted. He explained those persons with a thr�'or four-stall
garage are still limited to twenty-two feet (22'), and possibly twenty fou'r {24');�ti the future. He

a single driveway, and include a thirty-two (32') foot limitation for joint driveways, as well.

Commissioner Laube stated he would prefer to see thirty-six (36'), in that if there is a standard
twenty-two foot (22') garage, with zero lot lines, and a four-foot separation, the driveway would be
thirty-six feet (36') straight back from each garage door.
Commissioner Hegland inquired if the proposed language would indicate a limit of

Property Involved: 7687 Long Lake Road
Consideration of Resolution 598-99 regarding a request for a Conditional Use Permit for Sunrise
United Methodist Church and a Development Review to allow an expansion to the Church
facility.
Applicant: Vanman Companies (Representing Sunrise)
The applicant was present.
Planning Associate Ericson gave the staffreport as follows:
The applicant, Vanman Companies, representing the property owner, Sunrise United Methodist
Church, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit and development review to allow for
the expansion of their Church facility located at 7687 Long Lake Road. The expanded areas will
service as additional space within the sanctuary and child care areas, will provide for office space
for the pastor and other church workers, and will add a meeting room and multi-use space for the
staff and congregation.
Planning Associate Ericson stated the total area of the expansion plan is approximately 7,500
square feet, which brings the total building area, after expansion, to approximately 20,500 square
feet. He indicated the criteria for approving a conditional use permit for this proposal are all met,
as are the dimensional requirements for the development review. He noted an issue brought
forward at the previous meeting, with regard to the parking lot setback two feet from Long Lake
Road, which was determined at that meeting to simply be non-conformity. He added that as the
applicant was not proposing any alterations to the parking lot at this time, the issue would not be
addressed with the overall development review or the conditional use permit.

Mounds View Planning Commission December 1, 1999
Regular Meeting Page 3
Planning Associate Ericson stated the resolution before the Planning Commission recommends
approval of the conditional use permit and the development review for this site, with stipulations.
He stated the first stipulation indicates "The design and character of the expanded areas shall
match and compliment the existing architecture of the Church," and the applicant plans to proceed
in this manner. The second stipulation indicates "The existing non-conforming parking lot setback
shall be allowed to persist until such time that the parking lot is reconstructed or resurfaced and
the non-conformity can be corrected."
Corrunissioner Miller inquired if the word "remain" or "exist" would be more appropriate than the
word "persist."
Planning Associate Ericson stated this was the intent, and the language could be amended to
indicate ". .. shall be allowed to remain."
Planning Associate Ericson stated the third stipulation indicates "Two additional parking stalls
shall be marked and posted as "handicapped" to comply with ADA requirennents." He advised
there are currently two such parking stalls on the site. The fourth stipulation indicates "The
applicant shall be responsible for recording the City Council resolution of approval with Ramsey
County within 60 days of final approval," which is a standard stipulation with any conditional use
permit.
Planning Associate Ericson stated there appear to be no unresolved issues with this proposal. He
indicated there is a wetland on the site, however, the expansion development area will not
encroach into the 100-foot wetland buffer zone. He explained that the existing parking space is
adequate to meet the requirements for this use, even in light of the additional space that will be
added with the expansion. He stated in staff s perspective, this request warrants a
recommendation of approval.
Commissioner Miller noted the dimensional requirements listed on Page 2 of the Staff Report,
which indicates the parking lot setback (north), at 5 feet, required, and 80 feet, proposed. She
inquired if this represents the setback from the street, although there is a structure between the
street and the parking lot.
Planning Associate Ericson indicated that a portion of the parking lot is located between the two
buildings, and the measurement was taken from this point.
Commissioner Miller stated the first paragraph, last sentence, on Page 4 of the resolution indicates
"...it is not anticipated that the use will not cause...,"and requested the second word "not" be
omitted. Planning Associate Ericson stated staffwould make this correction.
Commissioner Stevenson noted the resolution indicates Planning Case 574-99, however, the Staff
Report refers to Planning Cases 574-99 and 575-99. He requested clarification.

Road; as Amended to Indicate Planning Case Nos. 574-99 and 575-99.
Ayes — 7 Nays — 0 Motion carried.
Planning Associate Ericson stated a public hearing has been scheduled for this item at the
December 13, 1999 City Council meeting.
6. Consideration of Resolution 599-99 regarding TOLD proposal for a Walgreens on
the Videen property and the adjacent City Remnant Parcel.
Community Development Director Jopke stated, at the Planning Commission's meeting on
November 17, there was a presentation and discussion of TOLD Development Company's
proposal regarding the remnant piece of property created by the realignment of Edgewood Drive,
and the adjacent parcel that is privately owned by Robert Videen. He indicated at that meeting,
the Planning Commission directed staff to prepare a resolution in favor of the concept and the
proposed land swap.
Community Development Director Jopke stated staff has attempted to compile the comments of
the Planning Commission into draft Resolution 599-99, which indicates eleven findings, as
follows:
1. The proposed retaiUrestaurant/clinic land uses, if designed properly, are compatible
with surrounding land uses. TOLD has indicated a willingness to design the
structures and use building materials which are consistent with adjacent buildings.
2. The proposed developnnent is isolated from residential uses.
3. The proposed land use is consistent with the future land use designation of the site
as shown in the draft comprehensive plan currently being reviewed by the Planning
Commission.
4. The proposed use is consistent with the current zoning of the Videen property.
Rezoning of the city remnant parcel would be required.
5. TOLD is willing to relocate the stormwater holding pond on the remnant parcel at
their expense.
6. TOLD is willing to trade approximately 7.4 acres of land for appro�mately 1.5
acres of land. The City could use the 7.4 acres of land to protect the exiting

wetland, to provide additional recreational opportunities, and to provide
stormwater improvements.
TOLD is willing to contribute towards the cost of recreational improvements on
the 7.4 acre parcel
TOLD will attempt to have the existing billboard removed.
The Park and Recreation Commission has indicated general support of the TOLD
proposal.
The TOLD proposal is the best that has been presented and the developer is.
willing to work with the city to address all issues.
The Planning Commission is concerned that the proposal could result in additional
city maintenance expenses.
Community Development Director Jopke stated the resolution further indicates "NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission supports the
TOLD concept and would support the proposed land swap. - Approval of any specific
development proposal should be through the normal city development review process after any
required public hearings are held. The Planning Commission reserves the right to make additional
specific recommendations through this process."
Community Development Director Jopke requested the Planning Corrunission discuss these
findings, to insure they are correct and clearly indicate the Planning Commission's review. He
stated staff recommends approval of Resolution 599-99.
Chair Peterson suggested Finding No. 11 might be more appropriately stated with the addition of
the word "however," to indicate "The Planning Commission is however concerned..." He
explained that the issue of possible is somewhat ambiguous, and in his understanding, the source
of this finding relates to maintenance of the wetland area.
Community Development Director 7opke stated staf�'s understanding is that the expenses would
be related to the maintenance of improvements made by the City.
Commissioner Hegland stated his original question was in regard to any expenses the City might
incur as a result of the land swap, which they were not aware of at that time. He explained that
whether or not those expenses would be restricted to City maintenance, he was uncertain.
Commissioner Stevenson indicated the expenses could also be related to improvements to the
wetland, due to the land swap.
Community Development Director Jopke stated he had envisioned that if the City created a
regional stormwater holding pond on the site, there would be maintenance associated with that.
He added that if there were recreational improvements, those would require maintenance as well.
Commissioner Stevenson stated it was probably most appropriate to leave the language of this
finding general, as the specific expenses are unknown at this time.
, .
_�:i ,:
Mounds View Planning Commission December 1, 1999
Regular Meeting Page 6
Chair Peterson pointed out that it this language might create the impression that there are some
large costs associated with this project, without an understanding of what they might be. He
stated his only concern is that the finding clearly state the intention.
Commissioner Miller inyuired if the City could incur expenses other than those related to
maintenance. Community Development Director Jopke indicated there could be expenses
associated to the improvements the City would construct.
Commissioner Miller stated therefore, this proposal could result in additional City expenses, and
not specifically maintenance expenses, as currently indicated in Finding No. 11.
Corrunissioner Stevenson pointed out that several other findings refer to potential additional
expenses that would be incurred by the developer rather than the City. He stated the Commission
was attempting to insure that the City was not entering into an expensive land swap agreement,
and to that this is clearly indicated.
Commissioner Johnson noted discussion at the previous meeting regarding the developer's
responsibility for the cost of the survey. Community Development Director Jopke stated there
was discussion regarding the platting of the property, and the developer had indicated they were
willing to share in those costs.
Commissioner Johnson stated the City would be required to pay for holding pond maintenance,
whether for a regional hoiding pond, or the existing small pond, and inquired what additional
expense could be incurred in this regard.
Community Development Director explained that if there are larger stormwater issues in the area,
that are not addressed by the existing small pond, this would result in additional expenses. He
advised that the language of the resolution indicates the developer will relocate the small e�sting
pond, however, this does not address the issue of regional ponding, which may be required of the
City.
Chair Peterson noted a similar situation several years prior, regarding the Greenfield
Development, which involved a land swap. He stated two drainage ponds were created, and there
was some concern regarding the City's cost to maintain those ponds, however, he was not aware
that any large expense was incurred.
Commissioner Kaden stated the Department of Public Works would likely have information that
would assist in defining the expenses involved in maintaining the ponds.
Commissioner Johnson reiterated that the City would maintain one pond regardless, and he did
not believe one pond would cost more to maintain than another one. Chair Peterson added that
this would be true even if the pond covers a larger area.

Commissioner Johnson advised that some of the ponds require to be pumped out during periods
of heavy rain, however, this would be the only expense he could foresee. Chair Peterson
explained that this was true of some of the smaller ponds with no exits.
Chair Peterson inquired regarding the most appropriate wording for Finding No. 11.
Community Development Director Jopke suggested that rather than more specific, the language
be more general, indicating that the Planning Commission desires to insure that this land swap
does not result in additional costs to the City.
Chair Peterson stated this re-wording appears to be appropriate. Commissioner Miller agreed.
Commissioner Stevenson stated clarification of this language is for the benefit of the public, who
would be concerned regarding additional expenses. He indicated this more general language
appears to reflect the intention of the Planning Commission more closely. Commissioner Kaden
agreed.
Commissioner Kaden inquired if the City would see a financially benefit with the proposed land
swap, in addition to obtaining the wetland, or if this was to be determined by the Council, at a
later date.
Community Development Director Jopke stated ultimately, this would be the City Council's
decision, however, as proposed, it is a straight land swap. He explained that the City would be
giving up 1.5 acres, and gaining 7.4 acres in return.
Commissioner Kaden inquired regarding the assessed value of both properties involved in the
proposed land swap. Community Development Director Jopke stated he was uncertain.
Commissioner Hegland stated the Commission could not be certain at this point, whether or not
the City will incur any significant additional expenses due to the land swap, therefore, he would
request language to address this. He explained that his concern is that as the matter proceeds, and
the Council rules on it, they consider this factor.
Commissioner Stevenson inquired if Commissioner Hegland agreed with the suggested re-
wording. Commissioner Hegland stated the suggested language does not appear to raise any
concern at all, and he was not certain he felt comfortable with this.
Chair Peterson advised that this is a preliminary stage in the proposal, and the Commission is
considering the "big picture" issues at this point. He indicated that many small issues will come
forward, however, at this point, the Commission should identify all of the large issues and
incorporate them into the resolution, to provide some feedback to the Council in terms of the
direction of this proposal.

Commissioner Laube stated he felt the suggested language appears to be appropriate for this stage
of the consideration. He indicated the Commission desires to inform the Council that there could
be a cost, and request that the Council to review this.
Commissioner Kaden stated the language in the resolution indicates "NOW, TI3EEREFORE, BE
IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission supports the TOLD concept, and
would support the proposed land swap," and inquired if this statement could be amended. He
commented that he supports the concept, however, this language appears to indicate he aiso
supports the land swap, and he is not certain that he does. He explained that he had inquired
regarding the assessed value of the properties because if the City is stands to lose with this
proposal, he would not support such a thing, and at this time, there is no way to be certain in this
regard. He advised that the piece of land along Highway 10 might be more valuable than the
other property, and he would like to know whether or not this is the case.
Chair Peterson suggested the omission of the words "would support" in front of the words "the
proposed land swap" would make this statement more general in nature.
Commissioner Kaden pointed out that this statement would still indicate that the Planning
Commission supports both the concept and the proposed land swap. Chair Peterson explained
however, the statement would relate to both items, rather than to each item separately, which
would serve to dilute the element of support.
Terry Moses of Prudential Commercial Realty, representative of the property owner suggested
the Commission consider the triangular portion of land that is owned by the City to be a pond, as
that is what it is. He explained that as long as the pond is there, this land can not be utilized for
very much else. He pointed out that if the City did wish to utilize the land for something else, the
pond would have to be relocated, as ponding is required. He stated this land does not present a
substantial amount of land value as it currently exists.
Mr. Moses advised that with this proposal, the City will still have the pond, however, it will be
relocated at no cost to the City, and in addition, the City will gain 7.4 acres of land. He
commented it would be difficult to imagine a scenario in which that land could be utilized in any
other way, and for the City to continue to provide the ponding that is required. He explained that
if this portion of land was rectangular, and the square footage, it might be buildable, however, a
triangular shape is very difficult to build upon, therefore, the land could not demand a very good
price. He stated that the ponding is required to exist on this piece of property, with the exception
of the proposed swap.
Mr. Moses stated he considers the language in the proposed resolution to be a very general
introduction to the process, and he views Finding No. 11 as a cautionary statement, which
indicates that the City should be aware that there may be some associated costs that should be
researched. He suggested the language be modified to indicate "unacceptable costs" rather than
"substantial costs," as `substantial' can be defined differently by each individual, however,
`unacceptable' depends upon the situation.

Commissioner Johnson stated he agreed with Mr. Moses in regard to the pond, and the value of
the property, in light of the requirement of a pond. He advised that the pond could not be
relocated unless the City owned the property adjacent to it. He stated he also believes the City
will be benefiting with the land swap, in terms of gaining better wetlands, and may even be able to
obtain wetland credits. He stated the City property is comprised of approximately 1.5 acres of
dry land, and inquired what percentage of Mr. Videen's property is dry land.
Mr. Moses stated the entire Videen parcel is approximately 9.4 acres in size, and of that,
approximately 50 percent is wetland, and 50 percent is dry.
Commissioner Johnson inquired what percentage of the 7.4 acres the City will gain is dry land.
Mr. Moses stated approximately 1.5 acres of dry land will be used for the proposed development,
combined with the City's 1.5 acres, therefore, the City will gain slightly more than 3 acres of dry
land.
Commissioner Miller inquired if the wording of Finding No. 11 should be amended to indicate
"unacceptable costs."
Commissioner Hegland requested clarification of the proposed re-wording of Finding No. 11.
Community Development Director Jopke stated the language would indicate "The land swap
should not result in unacceptable costs to the City." He suggested the addition of language,
which further indicates `The City Council should look at the total costs of the land swap."
Commissioner Hegland advised that this language should indicate "The Planning Commission
does not believe the City will incur any unacceptable costs with this proposal," as they were
uncertain regarding the potential expenses at this time. Commissioner Hegland commented that
the issue of re-platting appears to be addressed in this statement as well.
Community Development Director Jopke inquired if the Planning Commission desired to omit the
words "would support" from the first sentence on Page 2 of the resolution.
Commissioner Miller advised the words "would support" did not appear to be necessary, as the
language already indicates the Planning Commission supports the TOLD concept and the
proposed land swap. She requested further clarification of the proposed re-wording of Finding
No. 11.
Community Development Director Jopke stated the language is proposed to indicate "At this
time, the Planning Commission does not believe that the land swap would result in unacceptable
costs to the City. The City Council should look at ihe total costs of the land swap."

Rep o rt
Meetzng Date: Janua�y 19, 2000
Title:
CONSTDERATION OF A VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A REDUCED SIDE-YARD
SETBACK AT 2442 LAPORT DRIVE.
Introduction:
Spencer Mistelske, property owner of Lot 3, SMUDER ADDN.., has applied for a variance to
construct a home at 2442 Laport Drive closer to the side lot line than is allowed according to the
City Code zoning requirements.
The reason why a variance is required in this situation is because the SMUDER plat included a
thirty-foot right-of-way, named Faber Street, which is adjacent to Lot 3 to t11e west. The City
Code requires that all buildings be set bacic 30 feet from any public street or right of way. There
is no distinction made between improved or unimproved right of way, and nor should there be.
The Planning Commission considered this matter at the January 5, 2000 meeting. At that meeting
the Planning Commission continued consideration of this matter. Staff has had additional
discussion with the applicant concerning other options including a minor subdivision that could
allow the proposed house to be located such that a variance would not be necessary. As of the
writing of this report, staff has not heard from Mr. Mistelske about how he wants to proceed.
Therefore staff has not prepared a resolution for Planning Commission consideration. Staff will
report any additional information it receives at the January 19, 2000 meeting
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Planning commission continue this matter until the February 2, 2000
meeting.

Planning Commission
Report
Meeting Date: January 19, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A REDUCED FRONT-YARD
SETBACK AT 4749 OLD HIGHWAY 8.
Introduction:
ASC, Properties, LLC., the applicant, has recently acquired this property, located at 4749 Old
Highway 8. One of the conditions of the sale was that the nonconforming setback status be
resolved through the granting of a variance. The building, a 38,192 square-foot office /
warehouse structure, was constructed in 1978 and was most recently occupied by NASCO /
Unidare US Inc, a distributer of welding supplies and parts. The building for the last year or more
has been vacant.
Discussion:
Upon arranging for the sale of the parcel to ASC Properties, LLC, it was discovered that the
building encroaches into the front yard setback along Old Highway 8. The required setback for a
building in the I-1 Zoning District is 40 feet; the as-built setback is actually ranges from 40 feet to
37.33 feet. The applicant would like to have a variance approved to legally allow in perpetuity
the existing non-conforming front yard setback. Given the fact that the new owners had nothing
to do with the construction of the building in 1978, a good hardship-case can be made for the
approval of such a variance.
Recorrcnzendation:
Staff recommends the approval of the requested variance and has drafted for the Commission's
action Resolution 603-00, a resolution approving a variance for a reduced front yard setback for
ASC Properties, LLC, with stipulations.

RESOLUTION NO. 603-00
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MIlVNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM SECTION 1104.01,
SUBD. 4, OF THE MOUNDS VI�W ZONING CODE P�RTAINING TO S�TBACKS TO
ALLOW FOR A REDUC�D FRONT YARD SETBACK FOR AN EXISTING OFFICE-
WAREHOUS� BUILDING LOCATED AT 4749 OLD HIGHWAY 8;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE NO. 579-99
WHEREAS, The applicant, ASC Properties, LLC, has applied for a variance to allow for
a 37-foot front yard setback for the existing building located at 4749 Old Highway 8; and,
WHEREAS, 4749 Old Highway 8 is zoned I-1, Industrial District, and is legally
described as follows:
Lot 2, Block 1, Midwaylndustrial
Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the following
documents regarding this proposal:
1. Planning Application
2. Zoning Map
3. Location Map
4. Property Survey
5. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to
property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements imposes a hardship
thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical difficulties brought about by
unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's
control; and,

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held Wednesday, January 19, 2000, with regard to this
variance request; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFOR�, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the property
located at 4749 Old Highway 8 to warrant the approval of a variance for a 37-foot front yard
setback for the existing office-warehouse building, and makes the following findings of fact
related to its decision:
1. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 4749 Old Highway 8 which do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity in that the building was
constructed 22 years ago and had been assumed to be in conformance with the Code.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title in that the condition has existed for 22 years and correcting the non-conformity
would not be feasible.
3. The variance request is the result of factors over which the applicant has had no control,
The building was constructed 22 years ago, well before the applicant sought to purchase the
property.
4. Granting a variance to allow the 37-foot front yard setback would allow the applicant to
utilize the building as it had been intended and obtain the property without the non-
conformity to cloud the title.
5. The Planning Commission finds that the requested 37-foot setback is the minimum
variance that would alleviate the applicant's hardship.
6. The purpose of the variance provision in the Code is to give relief to property owners
seeking to improve their properties yet are unable to do so because of zoning code
requirements,and factors beyond their control. Granting this variance for a reduced
setback would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
7. A 37-foot setback would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would it
increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.

Planning Associate Ericson stated the site plan submitted by the applicant indicates a side-yard
setback of 8 feet from the western property line, and additionally, an 8-foot setback from the
eastern property line, which is the location of the proposed garages. He advised that this setback
could be decreased to 5 feet, as the minimum setback requirement for a garage is 5 feet from the
property line, and this would provide sufficient room on the west side of the lot for a 10 foot side-

Commissioner Miller inquired if there could be such questions relating to Faber Street as well.
Planning Associate Ericson stated this was probably less likely, in that it is located further from
the wetland to the north, the elevation changes, and there is less of an issue with regard to the
soils and suitability for improvement. He explained that without seeing a contour map of the area,

in allowing them to be constructed.

Supplemental Memo
For your future reference, Staff is providing you with this "Supplemental Memo" in addition to
verbally addressing the following two topics at the meeting tonight.
1. Henning Variance.
As you may recall, John Henning, of 8359 Red Oak Drive, requested a variance to allow for a
driveway wider than the allowed 3 5 feet. The Commission directed staff to look into an
ordinance revision, which led to the drafting of Ordinance 642. After great lengths of discussion,
the ordinance was forwarded to the Council who approved it as suggested by the Planning
Commission. The change to the ordinance eliminates the driveway's non-confornuty. As such,
Mr. Henning, upon notification of the passage of Ordinance 642, has withdrawn his application
for a variance.
2. Planning Commission Training Session
The planners from the corridor cities of Arden Hills, Blaine, Circle Pines, Mounds View, New
Brighton, Roseville and Shoreview are meeting to arrange a series of training session sponsored
by the I-35 W Corridor Coalition. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together the Planning
Commissions from each corridor city for a joint session of networking, training, discussions
regarding what works and what doesn't, public meeting rules and regulations; and to educate the
commissions as to the purpose and intent of the I-35W Corridor Coalition. Most of you already
have a good understanding of what the Coalition is and its purpose; this meeting will build on that
and in addition provide valuable training tailored to the needs of the commissions. The first of
these meetings has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 22, 2000. The time and place have yet
to be determined; but because Mounds View is centrally located within the Corridor, it is likely
the event (at least the first one) will be held at our Community Center. Staff will keep you
updated as more information becomes available.

CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE REQUEST FOR A REDUCED SIDE-YARD
SETBACK AT 2442 LAPORT DRIVE.
Introductiona
Spencer Mistelske, property owner of Lot 3, SMUDER ADDN., has applied for a variance to
construct a home at 2442 Laport Drive closer to the side lot line than is allowed according to the
City Code zoning requirements.
The reason why a variance is required in this situation is because the SMLTDER plat included a
thirty-foot right-of-way, named Faber Street, which is adjacent to Lot 3 to the west. The City
Code requires that all buildings be set back 30 feet from any public street or right of way. There
� is no distinction made between improved or unimproved right of way, and nor should there be.
The Planning Commission considered this matter at the January 5, 2000 meeting. At that meeting
the Planning Commission continued consideration of this matter. At the January 19, 2000
meeting, the Commission again tabled action, as no further information was available. Staff has
left messages for Mr. Mistelske, who has not contacted staff since the January 5 meeting.
Recommendataon:
Because the sixty-day date falls on February 14, 2000, before the Planning Commission's next
meeting, staffis recommending that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 601-00, a
resolution denying the variance request of Spencer Mistelske for a reduced side-yard setbacic at
2442 Laport Drive.

WHEREAS, The applicant, Spencer Mistelske, has applied for a variance to allow for a

WHEREAS, 2442 Laport Drive is property zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, legally

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission took public testimony regarding this matter at a
public hearing on January 5, 2000; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to
property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements imposes a hardship
thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical di�culties brought about by
unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's
control; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.

NOW, THER.EFORE, EE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision Z of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are not satisfied and finds there to be a lack of sufficient hardship with regard to
the property located at 2442 Laport Drive to warrant the approval of a variance to allow the
construction of a home ten feet from the side property line abutting unimproved Faber Street, and
makes the following findings of fact related to its decision:
1. There is sufficient reason to believe that the unimproved right of way known as Faber
Street could be improved at some point in the future.
2. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not apply to 2442 Laport Drive.
3. The property owner alone created the situation whereby a variance would be needed.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission denies the variance request for a reduced sideyard setback for the proposed home at
2442 Laport Drive.

a matter which is to be heard and decided by the Commission (e.g. variances), Planning
Commissioners shall indicate to the person contacting them that such contact is
inappropriate and a11 testimony needs to be offered at the hearing to ensure a fair hearing

contacts occur, the Planning Commissioner is responsible for notifying the Community
Development Director, and for conveying the substance of the communication at the next

Planning Associate Ericson advised that a variance is required because the building, according to
a recent survey, encroaches into the front yard setback by approximately 2 to 3 feet, on the north
end of the property. He noted that the property curves slightly, therefore, the building maintains
the required 40-foot setback toward the south end of the property.

Commissioners shall indicate to the person contacting them that such contact is
inappropriate and a11 testimony needs to be offered at the hearing to ensure a fair hearing

[ The next step in the process is for the Planning Coinmission to formally recommend that the City
Council adopt the comprehensive plan. Following that, the City Council will need to accept the

Council for their review. Following review by the Metropolitan Council, the City Council can
then adopt the comprehensive plan.

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 606-00, A RESOLUTION APPROVING SIX
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNS ON GOLF COURSE PROPERTY
Introduction:
The City Council on December 13`h, 1999, adopted Ordinance 644, which amended the City Code
to allow outdoor advertising signs (billboards) as a conditional use on properties adjacent to and
north of State Highway 10 (formerly known as S.T. H. 118) and must face either State Highway
10 or I-35 W.
� The requirements (in general) are as follows:
• Billboards shall be located at least 250 feet from a residentially zoned property.
• Minimum spacing shall be 1,000 feet.
• Ma�mum sign area shall be 700 square feet per side.
• Ma�mum height is 35 feet.
Ordinance 644 has been attached to this report for your reference.
Dascussion:
Eller Media Company has presented the City with a proposal to install s'v� billboards on Bridges
Golf Course property. These signs are of a high quality design, not the typical or standard
highway billboard design commonly found in the general area. Staff has provided the Commission
with Eller's full-color proposal for reference. The proposed signs would meet all of the criteria as
established in Ordinance 644.
As with any conditional use permit, the Commission needs to examine the request and weigh its
merits against the adverse effects criteria in Subdivision le of Section 1125.01. In addition to
that, the Commission is to consider the effects of the proposed use upon the Comprehensive Plan
and also on the health, safety and general welfare of occupants on surrounding lands. In keeping
with this requirement, staff has addressed the issues for the Commission's consideration.

- - _ ._. -- -- - --- . . � . _
As stated in Subdivision le of Section 1125.01, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider
possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgment shall be based
upon (but not limited to) the following factors:
(1)
�Q:
(3)
(4)
(5)
Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan, in either current or amended version, does not address the issue of
billboards.
The geographical area involved.
The area on which the billboards cn�e to be located is the Golf Coufse pYOperty. There are fzve
residential propertzes 265 feet south of State Hrghway 10 from which the billboards would be
>>isible. �
Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
It is not believed that the placement and installation of billboards on the golf course proper�ty
could depreciate the land values or visual appeal of the golf course and surrounding grounds.
The character of the surrounding area.
The area north of State Highway 10 and west of I-3SW is dominated by industrial uses. Other
than the Golf Course, which is the City's comnaercial golf facility, all other uses are of an
industr•ial nature.
The demonstrated need for such use.
Golf Course Superintendent Hammerschmidt has addressed this issue, in that the
revenues generated from these signs will help keep the golf cou�•se facility financially
viable into the future and to counter-act ballooning bond payments.
General Conditional Use Permit Criteria:
The Planning Commission is to consider the following general criteria in its recommendation to the City
Council:
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public
facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
Installation of Billboards will not create or cause a burden to public facilities.
City ofMounds View
�---- � � -. �_�, r = � ._
Billboards Report
February 16, 2000
Page 3
_ _
(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that e�sting homes will not be depreciated in value and there
will be no deter►-ence to development of vacant land.
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
��)
�g)
There is no vacant or developable land in the immediate area and the residents south of State
Higlnvay 10 should not be affected detrimentally in any way.
The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent
residential properties.
There are no adjacent residential properties to the golf course. South of State Highwcry 10 there
are five residential properties fi�om where the billhoards would be visible.
The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City
and to the existing land use.
The Crty Council does believe that the installation of billboards is integrally related to the
overall needs of the City and to the existing lcrnd use
The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district
in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
With the adoption of Ordinance 644, the proposed billboards ar•e consistent with the purposes
of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning distr�ict in which they are to be locatec�
The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan (either version) does not address the issue of billboards.
The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
Studies comnaissioned by highway safety crnd t�arrsportation groups and agencies find no
correlation between billboards and accidents.
Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided.
Access to the billboards will be gained via existinggolf course pathways and service
roads.
Given the review of the adverse effects snecific and general conditional use requirements, it
appears that the proposal to install billboards at the Brid�es Golf Course is consistent with the
Crtv Code and Ordmance 644

Recommendation:
In consideration of the above-stated findings, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission
adopt Resolution 606-00, a resolution which recommends to the City Council approval of Eller
Media's proposal to install six outdoor advertising signs on Bridges Golf Course property. If
Eller Media is unable to procure a permit from the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) for the proposed signs, the CUP shall be rendered null and void.

Planning Commission
Report
Meeting Date: March 1, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 606-00, A RESOLUTION A.PPROVING SIX
OUTDOOR ADVERTISING SIGNS ON GOLF COURSE PROPERTY
Bacliground:
The Planning Commission discussed this request at its February 16"' meeting, at which time public
input was taken regarding the Eller Media proposal to install six billboards on Bridges Golf
Course property. Most of the discussion was focused on three specific items, the foremost being
the spacing and location of the six billboards in relation to proposed billboards on the adjoining
Sysco property. The other two issues concerned the control of advertising content on the signs
and the physical design of the signs, in that all of the signs erected should maintain a uniform and
consistent design theme.
As a reminder, the following are general requirements pertaining to the siting of billboards:
• Billboards shall be located at least 250 feet from a residentially zoned property.
• Minimum spacing shall be 1,000 feet.
• Maximum sign area shall be 700 square feet per side.
• Maximum height is 35 feet.
Discussaon:
With regard to the possible adverse effects and the general conditional use permit requirements
concerning this request, staff has indicated that in its judgment and opinion, installation of the
proposed signs would not adversely affect property owners in the immediate area. In addition,
staffreported that the proposed signs would be consistent with the Municipal Code and satisiied
the general conditional use permit requirements of Section 1125.01, Subd. 3b.
As far as the issues raised by the Planning Commission, City staff and the City Attorney will be
meeting with DeLite and Sysco representatives to begin negotiations pertaining to the positioning
and spacing of the City's signs in relation to the signs proposed by Sysco. This meeting has been
tentatively scheduled for Monday, February 28, 2000, which will take place before the Planning
Commission's meeting on March 1, 2000. Staffwill report to the Commission the results of this
meeting.

Page 2
With regard to the other issues raised by the Planning Commission—content and design, these are
addressed explicitly within the resolution of approval. Stipulation 1 states "The City should retain
the right to refuse objectionable advertising content per its lease agreement with the vendor." The
City Attorney will ensure that whatever language is included pertaining to this issue would be
consistent with the First Amendment. 5tipulation 2 states "All of the billboards should be
constructed of similar materials and should maintain a consistent design theme as presented on
Page 6 of the Eller Media proposal." These two stipulations make clear the Commission's intent
in its recommendation to the City Council.
Given the review of the adverse effects, specific and general conditional use requirements, it
appears that the proposal to install billboards at the Bridges Golf Course is consistent with the
City Code and Ordinance 644.
Recommen�'ation:
In consideration of the above-stated findings, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission
adopt Resolution 606-00, a resolution which recommends to the City Council approval of Eller
Media's proposal to install six outdoor advertising signs on Bridges Golf Course property, with
stipulations. If Eller Media is unable to obtain the necessary permits from the Minnesota
Department of Transportation (MnDOT) for the proposed signs, the interim use permit shall be
rendered null and void.

Report
Meeting Date: March 1, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 607-00, A RESOLUTION RECOlVIlV�NDING
APPROVAL OF A REZONING OF BRIDGES GOLF COURSE PARCELS FROM I-1
(1NDUSTRIAL) AND C.R.P. (CONSERVANCY, RECREATION AND PRESERVATION) TO
P.F., (PUBLIC FACILITIES).
Introductaon:
In the course of processing the City's application for billboards at the Golf Course, staff has realized
that certain Bridges Golf Course parcels are zoned CRP (Conservancy, Recreation and
Preservation) and I-1 (Industrial). Golf Courses are not explicitly permitted uses within either the
CRP or I-1 zoning districts. The only zoning designation permitting golf courses is the PF, Public
Facilities district. In addition, it is presumed that the PF zoning designation would be more
advantageous with regard to the City's application for billboards, at least with regard to the CRP
designation.
Discussion:
The intent of the CRP zoning designation is to conserve, protect and preserve natural areas and
allow for passive recreation use. An example of a passive use would be a walking trail or path, or
another such use with minimal impact to the environment. A high-capacity executive golf course is
not an example of a passive use. Accordingly, the CRP district, as well as the Industrial district,
does not explicitly allow for golf courses. Rezoning these properties associated with the golf
course to a PF (Public Facilities) designation would be appropriate, especially considering golf
courses are explicitly permitted uses within the PF district, and would be in keeping with the zoning
of all other city parks.
In addition to achieving consistency with the Zoning Code, rezoning the golf course so that all
parcels have the PF designation would be more consistent with the proposed Comprehensive Plan
of the City. On both the existing and future land use maps (Figures 5 and 6, respectively) in the
proposed plan, the golf course is designated SRO, or, Outdoor Sport and Recreation. Clearly the
PF zoning designation would be more consistent with SRO land use designation. A11 other City
parks, which are zoned PF, are designated SRO in the Comprehensive Plan.

PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 610-00, A RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF AN INTERIM USE PERMIT FOR TWO BILLBOARDS ON
SYSCO PROPERTY.
Introductaon:
DeLite Outdoor Advertising, representing the property owner Sysco Minnesota, has applied for an
Interim Use Permit to install two billboards on Sysco property fronting State Highway 10.
Background:
On Deceinber 13th, 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance 644, which amended the City Code to
allow outdoor advertising signs (billboards) as a conditional use (to be further amended as "Tnterim
Uses") on properties adjacent to and north of State Highway 10 (formerly known as
S.T. H. 118.)
The ordinance set forth siting requirements, which are generally as follows:
• Billboards shall be located at least 250 feet from a residentially zoned property.
• Minimum spacing shall be 1,000 feet.
• Maximum sign area shall be 700 square feet per side.
• Maximum height is 35 feet.
This application has been referenced by the Planning Commission at the February 16 and March 1,
2000 meetings in the context of how it would relate to the City's own interim use permit application
for billboards on Bridges Golf Course property.
Dascussaon:
The two billboards proposed for the Sysco property are to be constructed of steel and be of a mono-
pole double-faced "V"-shaped design. The Planning Commission has expressed a significant
concern and displeasure regarding this type of typical billboard design and the fact that it would be
aesthetically inconsistent with the billboards to be constructed on the adjacent Bridges Golf Course
property. Because billboards are conditionally allowed as interim uses, the City does have the
ability to impose reasonable design requirements with the granting of the permit.
In addition to the siting criteria, which is addressed later in this report, Ordinance 644 requires that
the requested interim use permit be reviewed in the context of the adverse effects criteria in
Sysco Billboards Report
March 15, 2000
Page 2
Subdivision 1 e of Section 1125.01 as well as within the context of the Comprehensive Plan and the
health, safety and general welfare of occupants on surrounding lands, as addressed in Section
1125.01, Subd. 3b.
Adverse Effects Criteria:
The Planning Commission is to consider the following possible adverse effects of the proposed interim
use permit in its recommendation to the City Council:
(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan, in either curf-ent or anzended version, does not address the issue of billboards.
(2) The geographical area involved.
The t►vo billboards are to be located on Sysco Minnesota properry. Sysco is adjacent to only one Mounds
View property, that being the Bridges Golf Course, a comma-cial recreation operation. There are
residential properties at least 300feet south ofSysco, across State Highway 10; yet the billboards would not
be visible from these properties due to thepresence of a tall sound barrier on the south side of the highway.
(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
It is not believed that the placenzent and installation of billboards adjacent to Highway 10 on Sysco properry
could depreciate the land values or visual appeal of the subject parcel or neighboring pr•operties.
(4) The character of the surrounding area.
The area north of State Highway 10 and west of I-35W is dominated by industrial uses. Other than the
Bridges GolfCourse, which is the City's commercial golffaczlity, all other uses are ofan industrial nature.
(5) The demonstrated need for such use.
It is believed that the revenue generated by the installation of the billboards would offset Sysco's
operating costs at its present Mounds View location.
General Conditional Use Permit Criteria:
The Planning Commission is to consider the effects of the proposed interim use on the Comprehensive Plan
and upon the health, safety and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands.
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public
facilities and utilities that serve or are proposed to serve the area.
Installation of billboards will not create or cause a burden to public facilities.
(2) The use will be suff'iciently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially
zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to
development of vacant land.
It is believed that the billboards would not be visible from any residentially zoned property in either cities of
Sysco Billboards Report
March 15, 2000
Page 3
Mounds View or Blaine and that the installation of the billboards would not have a detrimental effect on the
development of vacant land in the area.
(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential
properties.
The�•e are no residential properties adjacent to Sysco and as such this requirenzent does not necessarily
apply. The Planning Comrnission does, holvever, have a signiftcant concer•n with i•ega�•d to the visual
aesthetics of the proposed billboard and would �-econznzend that the proposed billboards be aesthetically
consistent with those app�•oved for the Bridges Golf Course.
(4) The use, in the opinion ofthe Planning Commission, is reasonably related to the overall needs ofthe City and
to the existing land use.
It is assumed that the need,for the proposed billboards is reasonably related to the economic situation of
the property owner.
(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which
the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
With the adoption of Ordinance 644, the proposed billboards are consistent with the purposes of the Ciry
Code and the purposes of the zoning district in whiclz they are to be localed.
(6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The Comprehensive Plan (either version) does not contemplate the issue of billboards.
(7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
Studies commissioned by highway safety and transportation groups and federal agencies find no
correlation between billboards and accidents.
(8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided.
Access to the billboards will be gained via existing Sysco drive aisles and parking areas.
Specific Siting Requirements:
(1) Location: The two proposed signs would be located adjacent to and north of State Highway
10. The signs are to be set bacic five feet from said right of way and would be more than 300
feet from the nearest residentially zoned property.
(2) Minimum Spacing.• While the two signs would maintain more than a 1000-foot separation
from each other, the second sign on Sysco's property would not maintain the requisite
spacing from the first sign proposed and approved on the Bridges Golf Course property.
(3) Maximum 5ign Area: The proposed signs would have a surface area of 672 square feet per
side, which is less than the maximum allowed 700 square feet per side.
(4) Orientation of Sign Faces: The sign faces will be angled and oriented toward State Highway
10. The angle of the separation between sign faces would not exceed 35 degrees.
(5) Maximum Sign Height: The signs would not exceed the 35-foot height restriction.
Sysco Billboards Report
March 15, 2000
Page 4
(6) Obstruction. It is believed that the proposed billboards would not be obstructive in any
manner to drivers on State Highway 10.
In the opinion of the Planning Commission, all of the general and specific requirements and criteria
regarding the siting and installation of billboards are satisfied, with the sole exception of spacing
between the southernmost proposed Sysco billboard and the northernmost approved Bridges
billboard. This issue has been discussed at previous Planning Commission meetings, with the
Commission recommending that both applicants (DeLite and the City) work out a suitable
arrangement to the satisfaction of both parties. While negotiations and meetings between the two
have taken place, no agreement has been reached that would not involve the granting of a variance to
one of the applicants. Given that, DeLite representatives have been advised that the burden of
obtaining a variance should be DeLite's and not the City's.
Recommendation:
Approve Planning Commission Resolution 610-00, a resolution which recommends to the City
Council approval of an interim use permit for DeLite Outdoor Advertising Inc., representing Sysco
Foods of Minnesota, contingent upon (1) application for and approval of a variance from Section
1008.08, Subd. l Oc of the City Code regarding minimum spacing requirements, (2) redesigning the
proposed billboards to be more consistent with the design of the billboards approved for the Bridges
Golf Course property, (3) approval of MnDOT permits and (4) recordation of the Council resolution
of approval with Ramsey County.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: March 15, 2000
Title:
PUBLIC HEARING AND DISCUSSION REGARDING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW REQUESTED BY MESSIAH LUTHERAN CHURCH.
Introduction:
Messiah Lutheran Church, (herein after referred to as simply "Messiah") located at 2848 County
Road H2, has requested city approval of a conditional use permit and development review to
allow for an expansion of their facility. The subject property is zoned R-1, which allows churches
as a conditional use. Currently, Messiah does not have a conditional use permit. The
development review is necessary according to Section 1006.06 of the City Code, which requires
that any development, redevelopment or expansion of existing facilities be reviewed by the
Planning Commission and City Council.
Bacltground:
Messiah has been at its present location in Mounds View since 1941, when a white wood framed
structure was built on what is now the back parking lot of Luther Hall at the southwest corner of
Knollwood Drive and County Road H2. By 1951, the basement of Luther Hall was constructed
with the main floor of the church added in 1956. The present Church structure across the street
on the southeast corner of Knollwood and H2 was built in 1961, with an expansion occurring
again in 1974, The old church building (now Luther Hall) was remodeled to serve as youth
education space.
The building expansion, which is proposed in two phases, will be of brick and would match the
architecture and design of the existing building. The first phase of the proposed expansion will
involve two small additions totaling 5,220 square feet to the church and a partial parking lot
removal and replacement. The west single-story addition will add office space and a meeting
room while the two-story addition on the east side will add a more spacious lobby and �athering
area, more classroom space, a larger mechanical room, an elevator and restrooms. Two houses
owned by the Church, 7225 Knollwood Drive and 2824 County Road H2, will be removed to
make room for the expansion. The second phase of the proposed expansion will involve more
ambitious building additions, which would serve as an expanded worship area and classroom
space. The construction of the second phase, which is proposed in three to five years, would add
approximately 27,505 square feet to the building.

Currently, there are 165 parking stalls available, excluding the overElow parking available across
the street. After the first phase of construction, 188 stalls will be available. The construction of
the second phase will reduce the available parking to 176 stalls. The church, under existing
conditions, significantly exceeds the City's parking requirements, based on a maximum seating
capacity of 300. Construction of the second phase will increase the parking requirements for the
site; yet even so, it is anticipated that the site will continue to be over-parked. Seven handicap
accessible stalls are shown on the plans, which would comply with Americans With Disabilities
Act (ADA) standards and requirements.
First phase construction will remove all of the e�sting parking areas with the exception of the
parking area immediately south of the building in the area designated for second phase building
construction. One of the two accesses to Knollwood Drive from this remaining parking area will
be closed, and no connecting access will be made to the expanded parking areas. This remaining
parking area would be removed upon construction of the second stage of the building expansion.
(The plans sent to the Planning Commission do not indicate that this parking area will be retained;
staffwill present a plan which indicates as much at your meeting.)
Wetland Bu ffer:
While the building expansion itself will not fall within the 100-foot wetland buffer setback, the
parking lot expansion and proposed stormwater holding pond do encroach into the buf%r area.
As a result, Messiah will need to apply for and be granted a wetland buffer permit. Because Rice
Creek Watershed District as well as the City's own engineers are involved in the review of the
proposed on-site drainage and stormwater management, approval of the buffer permit could be
considered a required formality.
Landscapin�
The applicant proposes to remove more than one hundred significant trees from the property,
dramatically altering the wooded character of the site, It is imperative that a landscape plan be
submitted which shows in specific detail the proposed planting schedule, including species,
r

numbers and locations. The City Forester will review the submitted landscape plan to ensure each
species of planting is compatible with Mounds View soils and climate. This will need to be done
before the Planning Commission can take action on this request.

The applicant has submitted a photometric analysis of the site (not included with your plans)
based on the foot-candle readings of the proposed lighting. According to the photometric
analysis, there are eleven 30-foot tall parking lot light standards, each with a 400-watt bulb,
hooded and shielded as shown on the attached specification sheet. In addition, along the
Knollwood Drive passenger drop off and pick up drive through, as well as the sidewalk areas on
the east side of the building, seven 12-foot tall light standards will be installed, each with a 100-
watt bulb. The provided foot-candle readings are all within the Code requirements:
Access:
The Church takes access from both County Road HZ and Knollwood Drive, with three curb cuts
on each street. The number of curb cuts will remain at six after Phase One construction, and will
be reduced to five upon completion of Phase two construction. It is believed that the overall flow
of traffic on the site and the impact to city streets should improve with the expansion. Staff has
given a copy of the site plans to the Fire Marshal to ensure proper drive aisle geometrics for fire
department vehicles. In addition, the Fire Marshal will review the placement and location of
available fire hydrants. This information should be available for staff to report on at your meeting.
Accessor•v Structures:
The plans indicate that an accessory structure of approximately 400 square feet would be
constructed at the south end of the lot, near Knollwood Drive. City Code requires that accessory
structures be located to the rear of properties. It would be stai�s suggestion that this building be
relocated near the proposed volleyball court or some other suitable location in the southeast
corner of the lot. In addition, the proposed size of the structure exceeds the ma�mum size
requirements and in itself would require a Conditional Use Permit. Rather than approving
multiple CUPs, allowance for this structure can be written into the Church's overall CUP.
De»aolrtion:
As mentioned in the background section of this report, two residential properties currently
improved with single-family dwellings and detached garages adjoin the present Messiah Church
site. These two properties are owned by the Church and were purchased with the intent of
providing for acreage for the Church to expand. Staff is unaware if the homes will be demolished
or removed from the site intact. Either way, separate permits will need to be obtained by the
applicant to arrange for this.
Draina�e and tltilitv:
The applicant has submitted plans to Rice Creek Watershed District for review, who will need to
approve of the drainage plans. The City's engineer has also reviewed these plans and has
Messiah PC Report

Page 4
concerns with downstream wetland impacts and runoff onto to Knollwood Drive. The drainage
calculations have been reviewed and were found to be acceptable based upon the extent of the
pervious and impervious surface on the site. The sizing of the pond and all drainage calculations
are based on full build-out of the plans. Any city approvals for this project should be contingent
upon Rice Creek Watershed District approval. Mike Ulrich, Director of Public Works, has
reviewed the plans and has made corrections to the utility specifications. These corrections have
been forwarded to the applicant and will need to be shown on future plans.
CUP Discussion:
Messiah Lutheran Church has been serving Mounds View and the surrounding communities for
nearly 60 years. The first church building was a small wood-framed structure built in 1941, which
was replaced by the structure at 2900 County Road H2 in 1951. That building served the
congregation until the existing building was constructed in 1961. The requested expansion is
evidence of a vibrant and growing congregation, which will continue to serve the needs of Mounds
View residents many years into the future.
Because the Church was established before Mounds View incorporated as a City, its presence
predates the City's zoning Code, which allows for churches and other similar uses in a residential
district by conditional use permit.
Spec�ic CUP Requirements:
Section 1106.04 of the Zoning Code addresses conditionally permitted uses within the R-1 zoning
district. Subdivision 1 of this Section addresses the specific CUP requirements for Churches, which
are as follows, listed with responses relating to the present facility and proposed expansion, as
appropriate:
a. Fi�ont yard depths shall be a minimunt of thirty-five feet (35).
The existing front yard setbacks for the Church are 35 feet facing Knollwood Drive and 63
feet facing County Road H2. Phase One of the proposed expansion will not change the
existing setback.
b. Side yards shall be no less than thirty feet (30).
The sideyard building setbacks for the Church exceed 200 feet. This requirement is met,
before and after the expansion.
c. Minimum lot area shall be no less than one (1) acr�e, or as providec� in Section 1109. 02,
subdivision 2b(3). (Ord. 590, 11-25-96)
The property the Church occupies comprises 6.1 acres, of which less than one acre is
deemed undevelopable. This requirement is met.
Messiah PC Report
March 15, 2000
Page 5
deemed undevelopable. This requirement is met.
d. Adequate screeningfrom abutting residential uses and landscaping is provided in compliance
with Section 1103.08 of this Title.
Because no landscape plans have been submitted, it is impossible to say if this provision
can yet be met. The demolition or removal of the two homes and expansion of the parking
and removal of the tree cover will dramatically change sightlines for abutting properties.
The applicant will need to address the screening issue prior to Planning Commission
action.
e. Adequate off-street parking and access is provrded on the site or on lots directly abutting or
directly across a public street to the principal use in compliance with Chapter 1121 of this Title
and that such parking is adequately screened and landscaped from surrounding and abutting
reszdential uses in compliance with Section 1103.08 of this Title.
Adequate parking in excess of what the City Code requires is provided on the site, both
before and more than likely even after the second phase of construction. The applicant
will need to address however the screening issue and provide a suitable landscape plan
prior to the Planning Commission taking action on this request.
f. Adequate off street loading and service enirances are provided and regulated where
applicable by Chapter 1122 of this Title.
This requirement does not apply to the Messiah Church facility.
g. The provisions of Section 1125.O1, subdivision 1 e of this Title are considered and
satisfactorily met. (Ord. 590, 11-25-96)
These are addressed on beginning on Page 6.
General CUP Re uirements:
Section 1125.01, Subd. 3b outlines the general conditional use permit requirements that must be
satisfied in order for approval to be granted. These requirements with responses are as follows:
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other
public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
It is not anticipated that the use and proposed expansion creates or would create an
excessive burden on parks, schools and other public utilities.
(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there
will be no deterrence to development of vacant land.
The Church properly is bordered to the north by County Road H2 and to the west by
Knollwood Drive. To the east and south, the property abuts single-family residential
Messiah PC Report
March I5, 2000
Page 6
homes. While the Church has existed at this location for almost 60 years without
problem or complaint, the extent of the expansion and removal of trees and church-owned
homes may result in screening issues for the adjacent property owners. The applicant will
need to submit a landscape and screening plan for staff to sufficiently address this issue.
(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent residential propertzes.
The existing Church fits well into this neighborhood and the proposed first phase
expansion of the church building should not negatively impact the area. It is thought that
with adequate landscaping, the overall expansion plans could be a positive addition to the
community.
(4) The use, in the opinion of the Ciry Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the
Ciry and to the existing land use.
The fact that the Church has existed in this location for almost 60 years with a consistent
and growing congregation is proof alone that the use satisfies a community need. Its
expansion is a direct result of the Church's growing congregation and its desire to be
more responsive to its membership.
(S) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
Churches and other institutional uses are conditionally permitted within the R-1, Single-
family residential district.
(6) The use is not in conflici with the Comprehensive Plan of the Ciry.
The Comprehensive Plan (both the existing and proposed plan) designates this area as
Institutional, appropriate for this type of use.
(7) The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
Staff is unaware of any congestion problems on either Knollwood Drive or County Road
H2 as a result of the Church's services. It is not expected that the first phase of the
expansion would add any significant volume to either street. Also, the times during
which the Church would have its greatest impact upon the street is also a period of
relatively low traffic counts. Given these facts, it is not anticipated that use will not cause
traffic hazards or congestion.
Adverse Aff'ects Criteria:
Section 1125.01, Subd. le requires that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider possible
adverse affects of the proposed use, or in this case, the existing use and expansion thereof. The
following is the list of factors to be considered, along with a narrative response:
(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
(2) The geographical area involved.
Messiah PC Report
March 15, 2000
Page 7
(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
(4) The character of the surrounding area.
(S) The demonstrated need for such use.
Staff feels that the impacts of this use and expansion thereto are potentially minimal,
considering its 60-year history of operation without incident or complaint. As stated
previously, it will be the applicant's responsibility to provide a landscape plan and
response to the screening issue before a recommendation can be forwarded to the City
Council. The use however is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which designates
this area as Institutional. Last, the need for the Church is clearly demonstrated from its
continued presence and proposed expansion at this location.
Recommendation:
The following issues should be resolved prior to the Planning Commission taking action on this
request:
The applicant shall provide to staff a comprehensive and detailed landscape plan which
takes into consideration possible screening solutions to help relieve any possible impacts
to neighboring properly before the Planning Commission will take action on this request.
2. The applicant shall apply for and receive approval of a wetland buffer permit in
conjunction with the development review and conditional use process.
3. The site plans shall be revised to show the accessory structure located toward the
southeast corner of the lot rather than 35 feet from the front property line.
4. The site plans shall be revised if, in the determination of the Fire Marshal, the drive aisles
or parking areas are not sufficiently designed to allow for fire department vehicle access.
In addition, the Fire Marshall shall make a recommendation regarding the placement and
location of fire hydrants to service the site.
5. Specifications for the garbage dumpster enclosure shall be indicated on the site plans.

2741 Hodges Lane

R-1, Single Family Residential / Single Family Dwelling
Section 1104.01, Subd. 3b, regarding Setbacks: Principal buildings shall maintain a thirty
foot setback from any lot line abutting a public street.
Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its
review of variances.

Site Plan, dated 2-24-00
Background:
The applicant, Cathy Magoris, who lives at 2741 Hodges Lane, which is located at the northwest
corner of Hodges Lane and Park View Drive, is requesting a variance from the required thirty-
foot corner front yard setback. She would like to expand an existing attached two car, 576
square-foot garage into a 864 square-foot three car garage.
Magoris Variance request
March 15, 2000
Page 2
Analysis:
As with any variance application, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a
demonstrated hardship or practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal
interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes
reyuire that the governing body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its
decision in accordance with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02,
Subdivision 2, of the City Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship e�sts when all of the
criteria are met. The individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or
shape, topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property since
the effective date hereof have had no control.
The property is a corner lot and is an odd shape. This can make it more difficult to meet
setback requirements. This is not a special circumstance in that there are numerous similar
lots in the community.
b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights comrrronly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of thrs
Ti2le.
The literal interpretation would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district. The applicant currently has a two-stall garage which is typical in the
community.
c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
There are no special circumstances.
d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in
the same district.
The granting of this variance would confer special privileges that other corner lot owners
would not have.
e. That the variance requested is the minzmum variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
As the applicants have shown in the site plan, the e�sting setback is right at the minimum
required setback. Any expansion would result in the variance being required.
,i
Magoris Variance request
Mazch 15, 2000
Page 3
f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
The purpose of the variance provision in the Code is to give relief to property owners
seeking to improve their properties yet are unable to do so because of zoning code
requirements and factors beyond their control. Crranting this variance for additional
garage space would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of lrght a»d air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property
values within the neighborhood.
The proposed garage expansion would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion,
nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property
values.
According to the City Code, all of the preceding criteria shall be satisfied in order to justify the
granting of a variance. It appears to staffthat in this case a hardship does not e�st, and as such, if
the Planning Commission were to concur, a variance should not be granted to allow the applicants
expand their garage such that it would be eighteen feet from the property line abutting Park View
Drive.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission direct staffto prepare a resolution approving or
denying the variance request containing the appropriate findings for consideration at the Apri15,
2000 Planning Commission meeting.

Mr. Coyle stated it was their understanding that the golf course does not require all six of the
permits in order to achieve the financial objectives that have been set, however, Sysco's
fundamental objection relates to the spacing issue. He stated that if the City chooses to proceed
with the six billboards, they would request that the City would process a variance to allow for the
consideration and approval of the two Sysco applications, when they come before the City.

Introduction:
Meeting Date: April 5, 2000
DISCUSSION REGARDING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,
DEVELOPMENI' REVIEW �ND WETLAND BUC'FER
PERMIT REQUESTED BY MESSIAH LUTHERAN CHURCH.
CU00-001, DR00-001, WB00-001
Messiah Lutheran Church
2848 County Road H2
Messiah Lutheran Church has requested city approval of a conditional use permit and
development review to allow for an expansion of their facility. The subject property is zoned R-1,
which allows churches as a conditional use. Currently, Messiah does not have a conditional use
permit. The development review is necessary according to Section 1006.06 of the City Code,
which requires that any development, redevelopment or expansion of e�sting facilities be
reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council.
13ackground:
This item was first addressed at the Planning Commission's meeting on March 15, 2000, at which
time much discussion took place regarding the site plan and the impact of the expansion to the
immediate area. Pertinent to that, certain key issues were identified as being deficient, needing
more review or additional information.
As stated in the earlier report, the expanded building areas would match the architecture and
design of the existing brick building and would be constructed in two phases. The applicant is
seeking approval of only the first phase of development at this time. The first phase of the
proposed expansion will involve two building additions totaling 5,220 square feet and a partial
parking lot removal and replacement. The west single-story addition will add office space and a
meeting room while the two-story addition on the east side will add a more spacious lobby and
gathering area, more classroom space, a larger mechanical room, an elevator and restrooms.
The second phase of the proposed expansion will involve more ambitious building additions,
which would serve as an expanded worship at-ea and classroom space. The construction of the
second pliase, whi.ch is proposed in three to five years, would add approximately 27,505 square
feet to the building.

Development Review Discussion:
Dimensional Rec�uirements:
All of the dimensional requirements pertaining to this development are met as discussed at the
last meeting. The building and parking lot setbacks, parking requirements, minimum lot size and
other zoning-related dimensional criteria are satisfied with this proposal as they pertain to the first
phase of the proposed expansion.
Parkirt�:
Currently, there are 165 parking stalls available, excluding the overflow parking available across
the street. After the first phase of construction, 188 stalls will be available. The construction of
the second phase will reduce the available parking to 176 stalls. The church, under existing
conditions, significantly exceeds the City's parking requirements, based on a maximum seating
capacity of 300. Construction of the second phase will increase the parking requirements for the
site; yet even so, it is anticipated that the site will continue to be over-parked. Seven handicap
accessible stalls are shown on the plans, which would comply with Americans With Disabilities
Act (ADA) standards and requirements.
Wetland Bzc�'f'er:
While the building expansion itself will not fall within the 100-foot wetland buffer setback, the
parking lot expansion and proposed stormwater holding pond do encroach into the buffer area.
As a result, Messiah has applied for a wetland buffer permit. Action on the buffer permit cannot
occur until afl:er Rice Creek has issued its approval of the drainage and storrr►water retention
plans. Attached to this report is Rice Creek Watershed District's notification of authorization for
administrative action subject to seven conditions. One of the conditions requires Messiah to
provide a wetland delineation report, from which the City would establish the 100-foot buffer.
Landsca��inQ:
The City Forester has reviewed the submitted landscape plan to ensure connpatibility with Mounds
View soils and climate and has made two recommended changes: (1) All of the 1'/2" caliper
Marshall Ash should be replaced with 2" caliper Patmore Ash, and (2) the 2-gallon Techny
Arborvitae should be upgraded to 4- to 5-foot Arborvitae. Staff concurs with the
recommendations of the Forester and would add a further requirement to add plantings at the
south property line to supplement the e�sting trees.
I i�htin�:
The submitted photometric analysis of the site meets the Code requirements. The parking lot light
standards would be thirty feet tall with hooded and shielded 400-watt bulbs. The Knollwood
Drive passenger drop off and pick up drive through, as well as the sidewalk areas on the east side
of the building will have twelve-foot tall standards with decorative light fixtures, for which
specifications have been provided. These lights will have 100 watt bulbs behind diffused glass.

Accessvrv Structures:
At the last meeting, it was discussed that the accessory structure shown adjacent to Knollwood
Drive should be moved toward the back of the lot. This change has been made as shown on the
attached landscape plan. Because the size of the structure exceeds 216 square feet, specific
allowance will need to be drafted into the formal resolution approving the conditional use permit.
Future site plans sha(1 be revised to show dimensions of this structure.
F'i�•e Marshal:
The Fire Marshal for the City of Mounds View has reviewed the site plans and finds the drive
aisles and circulatory routes to be adequate and conforming to Fire Department standards. A fire
Hydrant has been added to the site plan on the south side of County Road H2 as requested by the
Fire Marshal.
Denrolitior�:
Two residential properties--7225 Knollwood Drive and 2824 County Road H2--currently
improved with single-family dwellings and detached garages adjoin the present Messiah Church
site. These two properties are owned by the Church and were purchased with the intent of
providing for acreage for the Church to expand. These two pi-operties will be cleared to make
room for the expansion. Staff is unaware if the homes will be demolished or removed from the
site intact. Either way, separate permits will need to be obtained by the applicant to arrange for
this. Residents in the area have commented that the removal of these two homes would serve as a
benefit to the neighborhood.
Drainat;e and Utilitv:
The applicant has submitted plans to Rice Creek Watershed District for review, who will need to
approve of the drainage plans. The City's engineer has also reviewed these plans and has
concerns with downstream wetland impacts and runoff onto to Knollwood Drive. The drainage
calculations have been reviewed and were found to be acceptable based upon the extent of the
pervious and impervious surface on the site. The sizing of the pond and all drainage calculations
are based on full build-out of the plans. Final approval of this project should be delayed until the
applicant receives Rice Creek Watershed District approval.
CUP Discussaon:
Messiah Lutheran Church has been serving Mounds View and the surrounding communities for
nearly 60 years. The first church buildin� was a small wood-framed structure built in 1941, which
was replaced by the structure at 2900 County Road H2 in 1951. That building served the
congregation until the existing building was constructed in 1961. The requested expansion is
evidence of a vibrant and growing congregation, which will continue to serve the needs of Mounds
View residents many years into the future.

As discussed at the last Planning Commission meeting an March 15, 2000, all of the specific CLTP
requirements addressed in Section 1106.04 of the Zoning Code are satisfied, with the exception of
screening. The landscape plan indicates a natural Arborvitae screen at the northeast corner of the
lot. After changing to the taller arborvitae as recommended by the City rorester, the screening to
the east should be satisfied. The landscape plan does not, however, address screening to the south
along Knoliwood Drive and as such should be revised in some manner in accordance with input
from the Commission and area residents.
The Planning Commission has also reviewed the general conditional use permit requirements as
well as the adverse effects criteria. Again, with the exception of screening, all of the general
requirements appear to be met. A question was raised with regard to the potential traffic issues
that could be generated with regard to the expansion. As stated at the last meeting, it is not
expected that the first phase of the expansion would add any signiiicant volume to either
Knollwood Drive or County Road HZ. Looking toward full build-out, staff is concerned about
the potential for congestion in this area.
The City Code in Section 1125.01, Subd.le, requires that the Planning and Zoning Commission
consider possible adverse affects of the proposed use, or in this case, the existing use and
expansion thereo£ As addressed at the last meeting, staff feels that the impacts of this use and
expansion to be minimal, considering its 60-year history of operation without incident or
complaint. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which designates this area as
Institutional. The need for the Church is clearly demonstrated from its continued presence and
proposed expansion at this location.
Recommendation:
Of the issues of concern left unresolved from the meeting on March 15, 2000, only two remain;
the landscaping plan and the drainage and stormwater plans. While staff would recommend the
addition of plantings along the southern property line to further screen the use from the residential
property at 7215 Knollwood Drive and the changes as suggested by the City Forester, the
Planning Commission will need to review the landscape plan and determine its overall sufficiency.
Regarding the drainage issues, Rice Creek Watershed District will be acting on the applicant's
watershed permit, which will necessitate a delineation of the wetland, among other things.
Staff would feel comfortable recommending that the Planning Commission approve a resolution
contingent on changes to the landscape plan and subject to Rice Creek watershed permit
approval, yet would advise that the City Council table action until the watershed approval is
granted.
If the Commission so desires, staffwill draft a resolution for action at the next Planning
Commission meeting on April 19, 2000.

Re: Messiah Lutheran Church
Dear Jim:
Thank you l�or taking time thc other day to discuss the above reference�l projcct and the pending
building and parking lot expansion. While I supporC lhe church's plan to expand their facility, I am
concerned about the impact to the neighbonc�xxi.
Our family is located at 7191 Knollwood Drive and would be affected by the currcnt design. The
current design plan calls for removing most of the trees on lhe property. This clear cut approach to
the initial partting lot design will significantly change the character of the the street. I would like to
recommend that the church and their architect consider a design which would retain most/more of
the mature trees. I would welcome an opportunity to meet with the church and the architect prior to
the next Planning Commission meeting to discuss possible design options.
Anolher concern I have involves the future increased traffic flow on Knollwocxi Drive resulting
from the anticipated increase in membership. While the traffic increase would generally c�ecur only
on Sundays, there is already significant traffic from the soulh at this time. What level of traffic
would be considered to much traffic on a residential street? Can a voluntary program be
established by the church to have members take County Road H2?
I do want to support the plan to remove the existing home on the south side of the church. This
home has been used by the church to assist f�amilies in need. The family in this home during the
past year have had many oc;casions of loud arguments which could be heard from within our
home. This verbal abuse among spouses has been a concern. The demolition of the home will
effectively remove this issuc.
Finally, a long range issue needs to be acidressed concerning how large the church facility will
grow in the future beyond the current desi�;n plan. At what poinl does the facility become to large
for the residential neighborhood?
I look forward to speaking with you in the near future concerning this project and welcome the
chance to assist the church and community in addressing the local concerns of the design.
Sincerely,
�

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: Ap�il 5, 2000
Title:
DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 612-00, A RESOLUTION CONTEMPLATING
THE APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE FOR A REDUCED CORNER LOT FRONT SETBACK TO ALLOW A
GARAGE EXPANSION AT 2741 HODGES LANE.
Planning Case No.: VR00-001
Applicant: Cathy Magoris
Location: 27� 1 Hodges Lane
Applicable Regulations:
Section 1104.01, Subd. 3b, regarding Setbacks: Principal buildings shall maintain a thirty
foot setback from any lot line abutting a public street.
Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its
review of variances.
Background:
The applicant, Cathy Magoris, who lives at 2741 Hodges Lane, which is located at the northwest
corner of Hodges Lane and Park View Drive, is requesting a variance from the required thirty-
foot corner front yard setback. She would like to expand an e�sting attached two car, 576
square-foot garage into a 864 square-foot three car garage.
The Planning Commission heard this variance request at their meeting on March 15, 2000, giving
significant discussion to the hardship criteria and whether or not all of the criteria were thought to
be met.
Analysis:
As with any variance application, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a
demonstrated hardship or practical di�iculty associated with the property that makes a literal
interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes
require that the governing body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its
decision in accordance with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02,
Subdivision 2, of the City Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the
criteria are met. The individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:

a. Exceptional or extraordinaf y circunzstances apply to the property which do not apply
genercrlly to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result fi�on2 lot size or
shcrpe, topography or� other circunistances over which the owners of the p�roper�ty since
the effective date hereof have hac� nv cont�•ol.
The property is a corner ]ot and is odd shaped, which can make it more di�icult to meet
setback requirements.
b. The litet-al interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title.
The literal interpretation would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district, in that the east side of the proposed garage addition would have
varying setback requirements.
c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
The applicant is not responsible for the conditions which would warrant the approval of the
variance.
d. That grantirrg the variance requested will not cortfer orr the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structuj�es or buildings in
the same distr•ict.
Given the unique nature of the lot configuration, it is not believed that the granting of a
variance would confer upon the property owner a special privilege denied to others in the
same district.
e. That the variance requested is the minimum varrance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be consider�ed a hardshzp.
The variance requested is the nninimum necessary to allow for a third car expansion to the
existing garage structure.
f. The variance would not be matet-ially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
The purpose of the variance provision in the Code is to give relief to property owners
seeking to improve their properties yet are unable to do so because of zoning code
requirements and factors beyond their control. Granting this variance for additional
garage space would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.

pr•operty o�• substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or� increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or inzpaif• propeyty
values within the neighborhood.
The proposed garage expansion would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion,
nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property
values.
Recommendation:
If the Planning Commission finds that all of the criteria are satisfactorily met, it would be
appropriate to approve the attached Resolution 612-00, a resolution approving a variance for a
reduced corner lot front yard setback to allow for the construction of a 288 square-foot garage
addition located 18 feet from the property line.

CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANC� FROM SECTION 1104.01, SUBD. 4,
OF THE MOUNDS VIEW ZONING CODE PERTAINING TO SETBACKS TO
ALLOW FOR A REDUCED FRONT YARD, CORNER-LOT SETBACK
FOR A GARAGE EXPANSION AT 2741 HODGES LANE,
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CAS� VR00-001.
WHEREAS, The applicant, Cathy Magoris, has applied for a variance to allow for an18-
foot, front yard setback for a proposed garage expansion at her property located at 2741 Hodges
Lane; and,
WHEREAS, 2741 Hodges Lane is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and is legally

WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the following
documents regarding this proposal:
1. Planning Application
2. Zoning Map
3. Location Map
4. Site Plan
5. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held Wednesday, March 15, 2000, with regard to this
variance request; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THER�FORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision Z of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the property
located at 4749 Old Highway 8 to warrant the approval of a variance for an 18-foot front yard,
corner-lot setback for proposed garage addition, and makes the following findings of fact related
to its decision:
1. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 2741 Hodges Lane which do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity in that the property is a
corner lot and oddly shaped, which makes it difficult to meet typical setback requirements.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title in that the east side of the proposed garage addition would have varying setback
requirements.
3. The variance request is the result of factors over which the applicant has had no control.
4. Granting a variance to allow for the 18-foot front yard, corner-lot setback would allow the
applicant to better utilize the property yet would not confer upon the property owner a
special privilege denied to others in the same district due to the unique nature of the lot's
configuration.
5. The Planning Com,mission finds that the requested 18-foot setback is the minimum
variance that would alleviate the applicant's hardship yet would still result in a 24-foot
setback to the street from the rear of the garage.
6. Granting a variance for a reduced front yard, corner-lot setback for the proposed garage
addition would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
7. An 18-foot setback would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would it
increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.

City of Mounds View
I'lanning Commission Report
Meet�ng Date: April S, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 614-00 CONTEMPLATING A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR AN OVER-SIZED SHED LOCATED AT 2159 TERRACE DRIVE
Planning Case No: CU00-002
Applacant: Robert Kleinschmidt
I.ocation: 2159 Terrace Drive
Applicable Regulations:
Section 1106.03, Subd. 1 j, stipulates that the combined square footage for all accessory buildings on
a lot shall not occupy more than 20`% of the rear yard.
Section 110E.04, Subd. 7 lists the specific conditional use requirements for an over-sized shed.
Section 1125.01, Subdivision 1 lists the general adverse effects criteria �vtuch need to be addressed in
order for a conditional use permiC to be approved
Introduction:
The applicant, Robert Kleinschmidt, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow
for the construction of a 256 square-foot oversized shed in the backyard of his property located at
2159 Terrace Drive. The property is located in the northeast section of the City, a block from the
City's eastern municipal border. The 13,125 square-foot, well maintained lot is improved with a
typical 1'/2 story home and two car garage. There is a small wood-framed shed in the backyard
that would be removed upon completion of the proposed larger shed. There is an 8-foot tall
privacy fence along the back of the property.
lliscussion:
Section 1106.4, Subdivision 7 lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for accessory
storage buildings in excess of 216 square feet. These rec�uirements, such as setbacks and
maximum square-footage are met with this proposal. The setbacks for an accessory structure are
five feet; the applicant is proposing to locate the shed approximately 10 feet from the property
line. The area of the proposed shed would be 256 square feet, which is less than the maximum
allowed 400 sc�uare feet. The area of the proposed shed plus the area of the existing 720 square
foot garage amount to 976 square feet, which represents a 13 percent back yard coverage, well
below the maximum 20 percent coverage threshold.

As is the case with every conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission shall
consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. The findings of the Planiung
Commission shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
• Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan.
• The Geographical Area Involved
• Whether such use will tend to vr actzrally depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
• The Character of the Surrounding Area
• The demonstr•ated need for such a 1�se.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as
to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in
general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 2159 Terrace Drive, low-density
residential. Almost every lot in this area of Mounds View is the same size as the subject property.
Most of the homes in the area are of the same design with either single and double-stall garages,
many of which properties also have sheds in addition to their garages. The e�sting shed on the
subject property is only 80 square feet and is too small to be of any use to the applicant. It is not
believed that the construction of the proposed 256 square-foot shed would depreciate the
neighborhood. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and would fit with
the general character of the neighborhood.
The only issue of any relevance not addressed by the above findings is screening from adjacent,
residentially zoned land. As stated earlier in this report, there is an 8-foot tall privacy fence to the
rear of the subject property but no fencing to separate either of the properties adjacent to the east
and west of 2159 Terrace Drive. Both properties would have an unobstructed view of the
proposed shed from the respective rear yards. Staff performed an on-site inspection of the
property on March 29, 2000, and observed that the garage on the subject property and the garage
on the adjacent property to the east would, in effect, provide for adequate screening. In staf�s
opinion, the property would benefit from this proposed improvement.
Recommendation:
Given the above findings and the fact that proposal would meet all applicable requirements of the
City Code, staffis recommending that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 614-00, a
resolution recommending to the City Council approval of this conditional use permit request,
subject to stipulations.

MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 614-00
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO ALLOW FOR A 256 SQUARE-FOOT OV�RSIZED SHED AT 2159 TERRACE
DRNE, MOUNDS V�W PLANNING CASE NO. CU00-002
WHEREAS, Robert Kleinschmidt has applied for a conditional use permit to construct a
256 square-foot shed in the back yard of his property located at 2159 Terrace Drive, property
zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and legally described as follows:
I.ot 19, 13lock 2, Pinefvood Terrace,
Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows sheds up to 400 square
feet in area with a maximum accessory building area not to exceed 1,400 square feet; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents regarding
this proposal:
a. Development Application
b. Zoning Map
c. Site Plan
d. Photograpkuc Documentation
e. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission fmds that the proposal satisfies the
dimensional requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 the Zoning Code; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the request is consistent with
the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development
and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of
housing units and residential property in general; and,
WHER.�AS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed shed would not
be out of place given the character and geography of the surrounding area involved in that sheds are
commonplace residential structural improvements which help keep properties neat and orderly; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed shed would not
depreciate the neighborhood in that the oversized shed would allow the applicant to store items inside
which might otherwise be left outside and would guard against a cluttered exterior appearance; and,

WH�REAS, Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the applicant has sufficiently
demonstrated that a need exists for the proposed oversized shed; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed oversized
shed would be sufficiently screened and separated by distance from adjacent residentially-zoned
properties in that the location of the shed behind the home and garages and next to a privacy fence
would screen it from general public view
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
recominends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations:
The applicant shall arrange to record the City Council resolution approving the conditional
use permit with Ramsey County and provide proof of such recordation to the City within
sixty days of Council approval or this permit shall be considered null and void.
2. The shed shall not be used for living space or other uses not allowed by the district in which
it is located or by the Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was
granted, the conditional use permit shall be considered null and void.
No other sheds or accessory buildings, other than the existing garage, shall be a(lowed on
the property. The existing shed may remain on the lot until thirty days beyond the date by
which the proposed shed is completed.
4. The shed shall be a permanent structure and shall be designed and maintained to be
aesthetically pleasing and complementary to the existing dwelling and garage.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs staff
to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 5`�' day of April.

Item # 8
City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: April S, 2000
Title:
DISCUSSION OF A VARiANCE REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR THE INSTALLATION OF AN EIGHT-FOOT
TALL FENCE 1N THE FRONT YARD OF 8438 GROVELAND ROAD.
Planning Case No.: VR00-002
Applicant: Gregory & Elizabeth Brunes
Location: 8438 Groveland Road
Applicable Regulations:
Section 1103.08 statcs lhat no fcnce taller tl�an four feet shall be inslallcd in the front yard of a
residenlial lot.
5ecCion 1125.02, Subd. 2 oullines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its review of
varianccs.
Background:
The applicants, Gregory & Elizabeth Brunes, who live at 8438 Groveland Road one block south
of County Road J, are requesting a variance from the requirement which states that no fence
exceeding four feet shall be installed in the front yard of a residential lot. The applicants have
submitted a letter (which is attached to this report) in which they express their need for a taller
fence as a means to reduce if not eliminate problems being experienced with their neighbors to the
north. The fence would provide a privacy screen between the two properties and would allow the
applicants to utilize the front of their property in a mannei- to which they have grown accustomed
in the thirty years they have resided at the property. The site plan which indicates the location of
this proposed fence is attached.
Analysis:
As with any variance application, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a
demonstrated hardship or practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal
interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes
require that the governing body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its
decision in accordance with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02,
Subdivision 2, of the City Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the
criteria are met. The individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:

. �� ._._ . . � . _.-. _
a. Fxceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to ihe property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or
shape, topography or other circarmstances over which the owners of the properiy since
ihe effective date hereof have had no cvntrnl.
There are no extraordinary circumstances which apply to this property.
b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title wozrld deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other prope�•ties in the same district zcnder the terms of this
Trtle.
d
f.
The literal interpretation would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district.
That the special conditions or circzrmstances do not reszrlt from the actions of the
applicarrt.
The applicants are clearly not responsible for the conditions which have prompted them to
apply for a variance.
That granting the variance requested will nol confer on the applicant any special
pr•rvilege that is denied hy this Title to owners of other lands, structur•es or buildings in
the same dislrict.
No other property owners are allowed to build fences in their front yard in excess of eight
feet.
7hat the variance regzrested is the minimzrm >>ariance which wozrld crlleviate the hardship.
Eeonomic conditions crlone shall not be ennsidet•ed a hardship.
The variance requested is the minimum necessary to screen the subject property from the
adjacent property and its occupants. The applicant indicated a willingness to "step down"
the height of the fence as it approaches the front of the property.
The variance would not be materially deif•inrental to the purpose of this Title or to othei•
property in the same zone.
Given the circumstances, staff does not feel the variance request would be materially
detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone_
g. The proposed variance will r�ot impair an adequate sa�pply of light and air to adjacent
property or substanticrlly increase the congestivn of the public streets or incr•ease the
danger• of fire or ef�danger the public safety or sribstantially diminish ar impair property
values within the neighhorhood.

Brunes Variancc
April 5, 2000
Page 3 of 5
. . _ . ._ L - . . " _ -
The proposed fence would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would
it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.
With regard to the first criteria concerning extraordinary circumstances, it is clear that the
property is not a factor in this request, in that, the property is not oddly configured, nor is it
topographically situated in such a way as to necessitate the tall fence. The second criteria states
that the strict interpretation of the Code deprives the applicant use of the property. In this
situation, the neighbors are depriving the applicants of their right to peaceably enjoy the use of
their yard, not the City Code.
While staff believes that-- in this specific situation--the approval of a variance would not be
materially detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code or to other property, tall fences in a
front yard do not lend well to a promotion of community spirit or neighborhood cohesion.
Furthermore, responding to the issue of privacy in this manner may create unintended
consequences beyond the two properties and set precedence for every other property owner
experiencing similar "next-door-neighbor" conflicts.
Recommendation:
In order for the Planning Commission to approve a variance, all of the criteria need to be
addressed to the satisfaction of the Comniission. Based upon the above assessment, it does not
appear that all of the criteria are satisfied, which would necessitate a denial of the variance
request. While staffempathizes with the applicants and understands the situation in w}uch they
are in, it is recommended that the Conunission direct staffto prepare a resolution of denial to be
acted upon at its next meeting on Apri) 19, 2000.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: April 5, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A 400 SQUARE-
rOOT OVER-SIZED SHED LOCATEU AT 8038 LONG LAKE ROAD
Planning Case No: CU00-003
Applicant: Juanita Snetsinger & Shelley Hill
Location: 8038 Long Lake Road
Applicable Regulations:
• Section 1106.03, Subd. lh, statcs that no property shall have more tl�an one shed and one garage.
• Section 110G.03, Subd. 1 j, slipulales that lhe combined square footage for all accessory buildings in
a rear yard shall not occupy morc than 20"/0 of thc rcar yard.
• Section 1106.04, Subd. 7lists the speci£c conditional use requiremenls for an over-sized shed.
• Section 1125.01, Subdivision I lists thc geueral adverse cffects criteria which necd to be addressed in
order for a conditional use permit to be approved
Introcluction:
The applicants, Juanita Snetsinger & Shelley Hill, are requesting approval of a conditional use
permit to allow for the construction of a 400 square-foot oversized shed in the backyard of their
property at 8038 Long Lake Road. The property is located in the northwest section of the City,
midblock between Sherwood and Hillview Roads. The 18,480 square-foot, well maintained lot is
improved with a rambler and attached two-car garage. There are currently two smaller
outbuildings in the back yard which would need to be removed upon completion of the proposed
larger shed. Numerous mature evergreens shield the back yard of view from adjacent properties.
Discussron:
Section 1106.4, Subdivision 7 lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for accessory
storage buildings in excess of 216 square feet. These requirements, such as setbacks and maximum
square-footage would be met with this proposal. The setbacks for an accessory structure are five
feet; the applicant is proposing to locate the shed in the southwest corner of the rear yard no closer
than five feet to the property line. The area of the proposed shed would be 400 square feet, which
is the maximum allowed. The Code rec�uires that by accessory buildings take up no more than 20
percent of a rear yard; this proposal would equate to a minimal 3.3 percent coverage.
As is the case with every conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission shall

consider possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. The findings of the Planning
Commission shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
• Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan.
• The Geographical Arecr Involved
• Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
• The Character of the Surrounding Area
. 'L'he demonstrated need for seich a use.
The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as
to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in
general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 8038 Long Lake Road, low-density
residential. Almost every lot in this area of Mounds View is the same size as the subject property.
There is a good mix of housing styles in the area, though most are older 1'/2-story homes with
detached garages. The two existing sheds on the subject property are too small to effectively
store the owner's motorcycles and snowmobiles and other equipment which prompted the requesC
for the larger shed. Given the size of the lot and the number of mature evergreens, it is not
believed that the construction of the proposed 400 square-foot shed would depreciate the
neighborhood in any way. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and
would fit with the general character of the neighborhood.
Staff performed an on-site inspection of the property on March 29, 2000, and observed that the
back yard is quite large with many mature evergreens at the periphery of the back yard. While the
trees would not completely block view of the proposed shed from neighboring properties, staff
would contend that in conjunction with the separation of distance, the shed would be sufficiently
screened and would not pose a detriment to adjacent properties. The addition of the shed would
provide for interior storage of recreational vehicles and equipment that might otherwise be stored
outside on the subject property. In sta#is opinion, the property would benefit from this proposed
improvement.
Recommendation:
Given the above findings and the fact that proposal would meet all applicable requirements of the
City Code, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 616-00, a
resolution recommending to the City Council approval of this conditional use permit request,
subject to stipulations.

RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO ALLOW FOR A 400 SQUARE-FOOT OVERSIZED 5IIED AT 8038 LONG LAKE
ROAD; MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE NO. CU00-003
WHEREAS, Juanita Snetsinger and Shelley Hill have applied for a conditional use permit
to construct a 400 square-foot shed in the back yard of their property located at 8038 Long Lake
Road, property zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and legally described as follows:
The South 80 Feet of Lot 3, Spring Lake Park Hillvieiv
Rnmsey County, Minnesotrz
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows sheds up to 400 square
feet in area with a ma�mum accessory building area not to exceed 1,400 square feet; and,
WH�REAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents regarding
this proposal:
a. Development Application
b. Zoning Map
c. Site Plan
d. Photographic Documentation
e. StaffReport
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposal satisfies the
dimensional requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 the Zoning Code; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the request is consistent with
the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development
and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of
housing units and residential property in general; and,
WAEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed shed would not
be out of place given the character and geography of the surrounding area involved in that the lot is
rather large and sheds are commonplace residential structural improvements which help keep
properties neat and orderly; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Com►nission finds that the proposed shed would not
depreciate the neigliborhood in that the oversized shed would allow the applicant to store items inside
which might otherwise be left outside and would guard against a cluttered exterior appearance; and,

VVHEREAS, Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the applicant has sufficiently
demonstrated that a need exists for the proposed oversized shed; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed oversized
shed would be sufficiently screened and separated by distance from adjacent residentially-zoned
properties in that the presence of mature evergreen trees and size of the back yard help screen it
from general public view.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT 12�SOLV�D that the Mounds View Planning Commission
recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations:
The applicant shall arrange to record the City Council resolution approving the conditional
use permit with Ramsey County and provide proof of such recordation to the City within
sixty days of Council approval or this permit shall be considered null and void.
2. The shed shall not be used for living space or other uses not allowed by the district in which
it is located or by the Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was
granted, the conditional use permit shall be considered null and void.
3. No other sheds or accessory buildings shall be allowed on the property. The two existing
sheds may remain on the lot until thirty days beyond the date by which the proposed shed is
completed, at which time they shall be removed.
4. The shed shall be a permanent structure and shall be designed and maintained to be
aesthetically pleasing and complementary to the e�sting dwelling and garage.
BE IT rINALLY RESOLV�D that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs staff
to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 5"' day of April.

Item # 10
City of Mounds View
Planning Commisslon Report
Meeting Date: April 5, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION OF A VARIANCE REQUEST BY DELITE
OUTDOOR ADVERTTSING TO ALLOW FOR A REDUCED
MINIMUM SPACING REQUIlZEMENT BETWEEN TWO
BILLBOARDS
Planning Case No.: VR00-003
Applicant: DeLite Outdoor Advertising Company, Inc. / Sysco Foods
Location: 2400 County Road J
Applicable Regulations:
• Scction 1008.08, Subdivision lOc requires that therc be a minimum 1,000 feet separating any two
billboards in the City.
Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its review of
varianccs.
Background:
On December 13, 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance 644 which amended the City Code
to allow for the installation of billboards north of State Highway 10 (formerly known as TH 118)
as conditional interim uses. Sysco Foods and the Bridges Golf Course are the only properties
north of State Highway 10 where billboards could be located according to the ordinance. The
City was first to apply for billboards, requesting six to be located on Bridges Golf Course
property. The unique stone-monument design and associated landscaping of these billboards was
an important feature to the City to ensure a good fit with the golf course. The locations of the six
billboards were chosen so as not to impede, obstruct or inhibit golf course operations while
providing signage visibility to motorists.
Not long after the City's formal application was accepted, DeLite Outdoor Advertising Company,
representing Sysco Foods, applied for an interim use permit to allow for two billboards to be
located on Sysco property. Upon initial review, it was discovered that the second proposed sign
on Sysco's property would be too close to the City's first sign on the Go(f Course.
Representatives of both parties worked to resolve the inadequate spacing, but in the end, short of
one party losing a requested sign, a resolution was not forthcoming. The Planning Commission,
in its recommendation to the City Council regarding Sysco's interim use permit application,
recommended approval conditioned upon Sysco applying for and obtaining approval of a variance
to resolve the spacing deficiency. On March 17, 2000, the City received DeLite's variance
application.

Sysco Variancc
April 5, 2000
Pagc 2 of 3
A public hearing had been set for this date yet the notice was not published in the paper as
intended due to an error by the Foca�s Newspaper, thus no action can be taken on this item. The
hearing notice will be republished and notification mailed to property owners within 350 feet, for
a public hearing with the Planning Commission on April l9, 2000.
Analysis:
As with any variance application, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a
demonstrated hardship or practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal
interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes
require that the governing body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its
decision in accordance with theseThe Code clearly states that athardship exists when alol2of the
Subdivision 2, of the Ctty Code.
criteria are met. Tile individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:
0
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstartces apply to the propef•ty which do not a��ply
gener•ally to other �roper�ties i�z 1he same zone or vicinity arid r•esult from lot size or
shape, topography vr �lher circz�mstarrces over which the ow��ers of the pro��erty since
the effective date hereof hcrve had no control.
Sysco Foods, a thriving national food service and dry goods distributor, is utilizing its
property to nearly full capacity. The part of the k�phat servn est e bus ness. 1 Theves as
a parking area and circulatory system for the tru
parking lot itself and the trucks that utilize it presents an extraordinary circumstance and
practical difficulty relative to the siting of the proposed billboards.
The literal interpr�etation of the p��oi�isions vf this 7itle wvrild dep�•ive the applicar7t of
r•ights conmzorily enjoyed by other propei'ties in Jhe same district uf�der• the terms of this
Title.
While the literal interpretation of the provisions of Section 1008.08 would not deprive the
applicant the ability to install one billboard, the strict interpretation of the provision would
prevent the installation of a second billboard in the location sought by the applicant. It
would appear that two billboards would fit on the property while maintaining the required
1,000 foot setback, but the resulting siting locations would be unacceptable due to
interference with truck traffic and also due to sight-line considerations. Thus, a
deprivation to the property owner does exist.
That the special conditions oi� cir•cz+mstattces do not result fi-om the actioras of the
applicant.
The applicant was not involved in the drafting of the ordinance which conditionally allows
the installation of billboards on properties north of State Highway 10. Its business and the
associated site development and improvements had occurred long before the contemplation
of such an ordinance. Had the ordinance been in effect prinr to the Sysco development, the
site plan could have been configured in such as way to allow for the location of two
billboards in compliance with the provisions of Section 1008.08.

The only other property owner in the corridor wliere billboards have been allowed is the
Bridges Golf Course, which has already received approval for six billboards on golf course
property. Installation of billboards is not allowed on any other properties in the City.
7�iat the var•iance reguested is the miftimzml varia�rce tivhich woz�ld alleviate the ha�-d.ship.
Ecoraomic ca�dilivns alone shall rrvt be considered a hard.shi�.
The variance requested is the minimum necessary to allow for the second billboard while
still maintaining a separation a(lowable by Minnesota Department of Transportation
permitting standards, which allows for a minimum spacing of 500 feet.
The variarlce N�ould nvt be materially den•imental to the pz��pvse of this '1'itle or to other
��•operty in the same zone.
Given the circumstances, staff does not feel the variance request would be materially
detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone.
g. The proposed variaf�ce will not i����ai�• ar� adequate supJ�ly of light and air to adjacent

VpI2/BSWI/I1!/1 lylL' 11G'I��hborhood.
The proposed reduced spacing between the two billboards would not impair a supply of
light or increase congestion, nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public
safety or diminish prope�rty values.
Recommendation:
Given the above assessment of the criteria for approval of a variance, staff believes that all of the
standards are satisfied and would recommend that if the Planning Commission is in agreement, it
should direct staff to draft a resolution approving a variance for a reduced minimum spacing
between two billboards for action at its next meeting on April 19, 2000.

be objectionable. He stated he did not believe it was the Corrunission's position to state that they
find gambling advertising objectionable.

Introduction:
DISCUSSION REGARDING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT,
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW AND WETLAND BUFFER
PERMIT REQUESTED BY MESSIAH LUTHERAN CI�URCH.
CU00-001, DR00-001 & WB00-001
Messiah Lutheran Church
2848 County Road H2
Messiah Lutheran Church has requested city approval of a conditional use permit and
development review to allow for an expansion of their facility. The subject property is zoned R-1,
which allows churches as a conditional use. Currently, Messiah does not have a conditional use
permit. The development review is necessary according to Section 1006.06 of the City Code,
which requires that any development, redevelopment or expansion of existing facilities be
reviewed by the Planning Commission and City Council.
This item was addressed at the Planning Commission's meeting on March 15, 2000, at which time
much discussion took place regarding the site plan and the impact of the expansion to the
immediate area. Pertinent to that, certain key issues were identified as being deficient, needing
more review or additional information. On April 5, 2000, the Planning Commission again
reviewed the request and determined that with the exception of Rice Creek watershed approval of
the project's stormwater ponding and grading plans, all of the unresolved issues had been
addressed to the satisfaction of the Commission.
The church proposes to expand their facility in two phases. The first phase of the proposed
expansion will involve two building additions totaling 5,220 square feet and a partial parking lot
removal and replacement. The west single-story addition will add office space and a meeting
room while the two-story addition on the east side will add a more spacious lobby and gathering
area, more classroozn space, a larger mechanical room, an elevator and restrooms. The second
phase of the proposed expansion will involve more ambitious building additions, which would
serve as an expanded worship area and classroom space. The construction of the second phase,
which is proposed in three to five years, would add appro�mately 27,505 square feet to the
building. The expanded building areas would match the architecture and design of the existing
brick building. The applicant is seeking approval of only the first phase of development at this
time.

DeveCopment Review Analysis:
Dimensional Rec�uirements •
All of the dimensional requirennents pertaining to this development are met as discussed at the
last meeting. The building and parking lot setbacks, parking requirements, minimum lot size and
other zoning-related dimensional criteria are satisfied with this proposal as they pertain to the first
phase of the proposed expansion.
Parking:
Currently, there are 165 parking stalls available, excluding the overflow parking available across
the street. After the first phase of construction, 188 stalls will be available. The construction of
the second phase will reduce the available parking to 176 stalls. The church, under existing
conditions, significantly exceeds the City's parking requirements, based on a maximum seating
capacity of 300. Seven handicap accessible stalls are shown on the plans, which would comply
with Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and requirements.
Wetland Buff'er:
While the building expansion itself will not fall within the 100-foot wetland buffer setback, the
parking lot expansion and proposed stormwater holding pond do encroach into the buffer area.
As a result, Messiah has applied for a wetland buffer permit. Rice Creek Watershed District is
also reviewing the applicant's plans and has administratively authorized approval of the project
subject to conditions which should be met once the Church has entered into an agreement with an
appropriate contractor. Approval of Messiah's conditional use permit, development review and
wetland buffer permit will be subject to Rice Creek Watershed permit approval.
Landsca�ing_
The City Forester reviewed the submitted landscape plan to ensure compatibility with Mounds
View soils and climate and recommended specific changes. The applicant has revised the
landscape plans accordingly. The Planning Commission reviewed the revised landscape plans and
determined that the landscaping proposed was adequate and satisfactory.
Li�ghting:
While the submitted photometric analysis ofthe site meets the Code requirements, staffis
concerned about the amount of light and the height of the parking lot light standards. The lighting
contractor has been contacted and was asked to consider reducing the height of the parking lot
light poles and changing the bulb wattage from 400 to something less intensive. The primary
basis for the requested changes is the desire to maintain as much a residential feel to the project
while minimizing the "glow" emanating form the property.

Accessory Structures.•
A 400 square-foot accessory building is shown on the site plan near the volleyball court. The
dimensions of the structure will need to be shown on the next set of revised plans that will be sent
to the City Council. Express allowance for the structure will be included in the resolution of
approval.
Fire MarshaX:
The Fire Marshal for the City of Mounds View has reviewed the site plans and finds the drive
aisles and circulatory routes to be adequate and conforming to Fire Department standards. A fire
Hydrant has been added to the site plan on the south side of County Road H2 as requested by the
Fire Marshal.
Den�olition:
Two residential properties--7225 Knollwood Drive and 2824 County Road H2--currently
improved with single-family dwellings and detached garages adjoin the present Messiah Church
site. These two properties are owned by the Church and will be cleared to make room for the
expansion. Permits will need to be obtained for their removal from the properties.
Draina�e and Utilitv:
The City's engineer has reviewed the grading and drainage plans and drainage calculations which
were found to be acceptable based upon the extent of the pervious and impervious surface on the
site. The sizing of the pond and all drainage calculations are based on full build-out of the plans.
The applicant has submitted grading and drainage plans to Rice Creek Watershed District. Their
approval is required before the project can move forward.
CUP Discussaon:
Messiah Lutheran Church has been serving Mounds View and the surrounding communities for
nearly 60 years. The first church building was a small wood-framed structure built in 1941, which
was replaced by the structure at 2900 County Road HZ in 1951. That building served the
congregation until the existing building was constructed in 1961. The requested expansion is
evidence of a vibrant and growing congregation, which will continue to serve the needs of Mounds
View residents many years into the future.
As discussed at the Planning Commission meetings on March 1 S, 2000 and April 5, 2000, all of the
specific CUP requirements addressed in Section 1106.04 of the Zoning Code are satisfied, with the
possible exception of screening. The landscape plan has been revised to show taller arborvitae to
the east as recommended by the City Forester, and additional plantings to the south. The Church
may choose to supplement the plan with additional plantings in response to neighborhood concerns.

The Planning Commission has also reviewed the general conditional use permit requirements as
well as the adverse effects criteria. Again, with the possible exception of screening, all of the
general requirements appear to be met. A question was raised with regard to the potential traffic
issues that could be generated with regard to the expansion. As stated at the last meeting, it is not
expected that the first phase of the expansion would add any significant volume to either
Knollwood Drive or County Road H2. Looking toward full build-out, however, staff is
concerned about the potential for congestion in this area.
The City Code in Section 1125.01, Subd. le, reyuires that the Planning and Zoning Comnnission
consider possible adverse affects of the proposed use, or in this case, the existing use and
expansion thereof. As addressed at the last meeting, stafffeels that the impacts of this use and
expansion to be minimal, considering its 60-year history of operation without incident or
complaint. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, which designates this area as
Institutional. The need for the Church is clearly demonstrated from its continued presence and
proposed expansion at this location.
Recommendation:
Staffrecommends that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 611-00.

WHEREAS, the dimensional requirements associated with the proposed Messiah
Lutheran Church facility expansion are all met; and,
WHER.EAS, the site plans date-stamped March 10, 2000 indicate that the first phase of
expansion will increase the area of the existing Church by approximately 5,220 square feet; and,
WHEREAS, there are 165 parking stalls presently available on the site; after the first
phase of construction there will be 187 spaces available which will exceed the minimum number
of stalls required to be provided for 300 seats; and,
WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has reviewed the site, grading, utility and
drainage plans and finds them to be acceptable and consistent with City standards; and,
WHEREAS, the City Forester has reviewed and approved the proposed Landscape Plans;
and,
WHEREAS, the Mourids View Fire Marshal has reviewed the site and utility plans and
finds them to be consistent with applicable fire codes and fire department standards; and,
WHEREAS, Rice Creek Watershed District is reviewing the proposed grading and
drainage plans and is expected to approve them pending payment of a cash surety and approval of
a NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) Permit; and,
WHEREAS, The Mounds View City Council has considered the specific criteria for
Churches and other institutional use facilities as they appear in Section 1106.04, Subdivision 1
and finds that they are met; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has considered the provisions from
Section 1125.01(1)e of the Zoning Code regarding possible adverse effects of the proposed use
and makes the following findings:
(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
(2) The geographical area involved.
(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
(4) The character of the surrounding area.
(S) The demonstrated need for such use.
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as "Institutional", which is consistent with the R-1
zoning of this site. Messiah Lutheran Church, which has existed at this location for almost 60
years, provides a desired service to the residents of the City and neighboring communities. The
property is bordered by public streets on its north and west boundaries and bordered by low
density residential on its east and south sides. Other than extending the Church's presence one lot
to the east and to the south, the proposed expansion would be in keeping with the e�sting design
and architecture and would not detract from the character of the surrounding area.

Cily of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: April 19, 2000
Title:
PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 615-00, A RESOLUTION DENYING A
VARIANCE REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR THE INSTALLATION OF AN EIGHT-FOOT TALL FENCE IN
THE FRONT YA.RD OF 8438 GROVELAND ROAD.
Planning Case No.: VR00-002
Applicant: Gregory & Elizabeth Brunes
Location: 8438 Groveland Road
Applicable Regulations:
Section 1103.08 states that no fence taller than four £eet shall be installed in the front yard of a
residential lot.
Section 1125.02, Subd. 2 outlines die criteria to be used by the Plaruiulg Commission in its review of
variances.
Background:
The applicants, Gregory & Elizabeth Brunes, who live at 8438 Groveland Road one block south
of County Road J, are requesting a variance from the requirement which states that no fence
exceeding four feet shall be installed in the front yard of a residential lot. The applicants have
submitted a letter in which they express their need for a taller fence as a means to reduce if not
eliminate problems being experienced with their neighbors to the north. The fence would provide
a privacy screen between the two properties and would allow the applicants to utilize the front of
their property in a manner to which they have grown accustomed in the thirty years they have
resided at the property.
The applicant appeared before the Planning Commission on April 5, 2000, regarding the request,
reiterating the hardships they have endured as a result of the actions of their neighbors. While the
Planning Commission collectively sympathized with the applicants' plight, preliminary discussions
focused on a lack of a property-related hardship in this situation. In order for a variance to be
granted, there must be a demonstrated hardship or practical difF'iculty associated with the property
that makes a literal interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property
owner. In this situation, the property itself is not an impediment to development or use nor does
it present any associated hardship.

Brunes Va�-iance

Analysis:
At the meeting on April 5, 2000, it was suggested that perhaps instead of a variance, the request
could be allowed as an interim use. (Recently adopted Ordinance 657 allows for the granting of
interim uses.) Staff consulted with the City Attorney, who advised that in order to approve the
request as an interim use, the City would need to adopt an accompanying ordinance to specifically
allow for tall fences as an interim use. Given the amount of time required for such an action, the
interim use alternative would not serve as an expedient solution to the applicants' situation. Staff
would suggest that in the meantime, other remediatory actions be considered by the applicants.
Staff has discussed this situation with Chief of Police Bill Clark, who recommends that some type
of neighbor mediation or dispute resolution may be the best alternative to address this issue. The
applicants have been advised of this alternative and of Chief Clark's willingness to help moderate
such a meeting.
Hardshtp Criteria:
State statutes require that the governing body review a set of prespecified criteria for each
application and that it make its decision in accordance with those criteria. These criteria are set
forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship
exists when all of the criteria are met. The individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:
a. Exceptional or extr�aordrnary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or
shape, topography or other circunzstances over which the owners of the property since
the effective date hereof�have had no control.
There are no extraordinary circumstances which apply to this property.
b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights co�nmonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title.
The literal interpretation would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district.
That the special conditions of• circuntstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
The applicants are clearly not responsible for the conditions which have prompted them to
apply for a variance.
d. That granting ihe variance requestea' will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in
the same district.

No other property owners are allowed to build fences in their front yard in excess of eight
feet.
That the variance requested is the nzinimum variance which �vould alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
The variance requested is the minimum necessary to screen the subject property from the
adjacent property and its occupants. The applicant indicated a willingness to "step down"
the height of the fence as it approaches the front of the property.
The variance would not be materzally detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
Given the circumstances, staff does not feel the variance request would be materially
detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone.
g. The p�•oposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public stt�eets or increase the
danger of ftf•e or endanger the public safety or substantrally diminish or impazr property
values within the neighborhood.
The proposed fence would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would
it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.
As stated at the last meeting, it is clear that the property is not a factor in this request, in that the
property is not oddly configured, nor is it topographically challenged or situated in such a way as
to necessitate the tall fence. The strict interpretation of the Code does not deprive the applicant
use of the property. In this situation, it is the neighbors who are allegedly depriving the applicants
of their right to peaceably enjoy the use of their yard. While staff can appreciate the applicants'
frustration, tall fences in a front yard do not promote community spirit or neighborhood cohesion.
Recommendation:
Based upon the above assessment, public testimony and previous discussions, staff recommends
that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 615-00, a resolution DENYING the variance
request of Gregory and Elizabeth Brunes for an eight-foot tall fence in the front yard of their
property located at 8438 Groveland Road.

OF TH� MOUNDS VIEW ZONING CODE PERTAINING TO FENCES TO
ALLOW FOR AN EIGHT-FOOT TALL FENCE IN THE FRONT YARD OF 8438
GROVELAND ROAD, MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE VR00-0020
WHEREAS, The applicants, Gregory and Elizabeth Brunes, have applied for a variance
to allow for an 8-foot fence in the front yard of their property located at 8438 Groveland Road;
and,
WHER.EAS, 8438 Groveland Road is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and is legally
described as follows:
Lot 3, Block 2,Barth and WalcirialcAddition
Ramsey Counry, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the following

unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's
control; and,

variance request; and,

Resolution 615-00
Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are not satisfied and finds there to be insufficient hardship with regard to the
property located at 8438 Groveland Road, and makes the following findings of fact related to its
decision:
There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances related to the property located at
8438 Groveland Road. The lot meets and exceeds all minimum zoning requirements, is
rectangular without any slope or any topographical deviations.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would not deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the
terms of the Code.
3. Without an evident hardship tied to the property itself, it would be inappropriate to grant a
variance to allow for an 8-foot fence in a front yard to mitigate a dispute between
neighbors and would set a precedent for other property owners.
4. Granting a variance for to allow for an 8-foot fence in a front yard would be materially
detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code in that tall fences are prohibited to ensure
suitable visibility and to promote a community spirit and neighborhood cohesion.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission denies the variance request for a fence with a height in excess of 4 feet in the front
yard ofthe property located at 8438 Groveland Road.
Adopted this 19th day of April, 2000.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: April 19, 2000
Title: PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE
REQUEST BY DELITE OUTDOOR ADVERTISING TO
ALLOW FOR A REDUCED MINIMUM SPACING
REQUIREMENT BETWEEN TWO BILLBOARDS
Planning Case No.: VR00-003
Applicant: DeLite Outdoor Advertising Company, Inc. / Sysco Foods
Location: 2400 County Road J
Applicable Regulations:
Section 1008.08, Subdivision lOc requires that there be a minimum 1,000 feet separating any two
billboards in the City.
Section 1125;02, Subd. 2 outlines the criteria to be used by the Planning Commission in its review of
variances.
Background:
On December 13, 1999, the City Council adopted Ordinance 644 which amended the City Code
to allow for the installation of billboards north of State Highway 10 (formerly known as TH 118)
as conditional interim uses. Sysco k'oods and the Bridges Golf Course are the only properties
north of State Highway 10 where billboards could be located according to the ordinance. The
City was first to apply for billboards, requesting six to be located on Bridges Golf Course
property. The unique stone-monument design and associated landscaping of these billboards was
an important feature to the City to ensure a good fit with the golf course. The locations of the six
billboards were chosen so as not to impede, obstruct or inhibit golf course operations while
providing signage visibility to motorists.
Not long after the City's formal application was accepted, DeLite Outdoor Advertising Company,
representing Sysco Foods, applied for an interim use permit to allow for two billboards to be
located on Sysco property. Upon initial review, it was discovered that the second proposed sign
on Sysco's property would be too close to the City's first sign on the Golf Course.
Representatives of both parties worked to resolve the inadequate spacing, but in the end, short of
one party losing a requested sign, a resolution was not forthcoming. The Planning Commission,
in its recommendation to the City Council regarding Sysco's interim use pernnit application,
recommended approval conditioned upon Sysco applying for and obtaining approval of a variance
to resolve the spacing deficiency. On March 17, 2000, the City received DeLite's variance
application. �

The Planning Commission discussed this request at its meeting on April 5, 2000 and felt that there
was su�cient basis for a hardship in this situation and directed staffto draft a resolution for action
at its meeting on April 19`l,
Analysis:
As with any variance application, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a
demonstrated hardship or practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal
interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes
require that the governing body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its
decision in accordance with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02,
Subdivision 2, of the City Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the
criteria are met. The individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary ci�°cunlstances apply to the property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result fram lot size or
shape, topography or other circunzstances over which the owners of the prope�°ty since
the effective date hereof have had no contf�ol.
Sysco Foods, a thriving national food service and dry goods distributor, is utilizing its
property to nearly full capacity. The part of the property alongside Highway 10 serves as
a parking area and circulatory system for the trucks that service the business. The
parking lot itself and the trucks that utilize it presents an extraordinary circumstance and
practical difficulty relative to the siting of the proposed billboards.
b. The liter•al interpretation of the provisions of thrs Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title.
While the literal interpretation of the provisions of Section 1008.08 would not deprive the
applicant the ability to install one billboard, the strict interpretation of the provision would
prevent the installation of a second billboard in the location sought by the applicant. It
would appear that two billboards would fit on the property while maintaining the required
1,000 foot setback, but the resulting siting locations would be unacceptable due to
interference with truck traffic and also due to sight-line considerations. Thus, a
deprivation to the property owner does exist.
c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result, fi°oni the actions of the
applicant.
The applicant was not involved in the drafting of the ordinance which conditionally allows
the installation of billboards on properties north of State Highway 10. Its business and the
associated site development and improvements had occurred long before the contemplation
of such an ordinance. Had the ordinance been in effect prior to the Sysco development, the
site plan could have been conf°igured in such as way to allow for the location of two
billboards in compliance with the provisions of Section 1008.08.

Page 3 of 3
d. That granting the >>ariance reqacested �vill not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Tztle to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in
the same district.
The only other property owner in the corridor where billboards have been allowed is the
Bridges Golf Course, which has already received approval for six billboards on golf course
property. Installation of billboards is not allowed on any other properties in the City.
e. That the varrance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Econon2ic conditions alone shall not be corrsider•ed a hai•dship.
The variance requested is the minimum necessary to allow for the second billboard while
still maintaining a separation allowable by Minnesota Department of Transportation
permitting standards, which allows for a minimum spacing of 500 feet.
f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of ihis Title or to other
property in the same zone.
Given the circumstances, staff does not feel the variance request would be materially
detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone.
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially zncr•ease the congestion of the public streets or increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property
>>alues wzthin the neighborhood.
The proposed reduced spacing between the two billboards would not impair a supply of
light or increase congestion, nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public
safety or diminish property values.
Recommendation:
Given the above assessment of the criteria for approval of a variance, staff believes that all of the
standards are satisfied and would recommend that the Planning Commission approve Resolution
613-00, a resolution approving a variance for a reduced minimunn spacing between two billboards
as shown on the site plan stamped Exhibit A.

OF TI3E MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING A REDUCED MINIMUM
SPACING REQUIREMENT BETWEEN A PROPOSED BILLBOARD ON SYSCO
PROPERTY AND A BILLBOARD APPROVED ON THE ADJACENT BRIDGES GOLF
COURSE PROPERTY; MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE VR00-003.
WHEREAS, The applicant, DeLite Outdoor Advertising Company, representing the
property owner, Sysco Minnesota, has applied for a variance to allow for the siting of a billboard
less than 1,000 feet from the nearest approved billboard located on the adjacent Bridges Golf
Course property; and,
WHEREAS, Sysco Minnesota is located at 2400 County Road J, property which is zoned

WHEREAS, a public hearing was held Wednesday, April 19, Z000, with regard to this
variance request; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
has reviewed the criteria identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code and makes the following findings of fact:
1. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 2400 County Road J in that the
existing parking lot and truck circulatory system effectively prohibits the siting of a
billboard in a location consistent with the requirements of the Code.
2. A deprivation to the property owner exists in that the literal interpretation of the Code
would prohibit the siting of two billboards which would otherwise meet the Code
requirements were it not for the location and configuration of the parking lot.
The applicant was not involved in the drafting of the ordinance which conditionally allows
the installation of billboards on properties north of State Highway 10. Its business and the
associated site development and improvements had occurred long before the contemplation
of such an ordinance. Had the ordinance been in effect prior to the Sysco development, the
site plan could have been configured in such as way to allow for the location of two
billboards in compliance with the provisions of Section 1008.08.
4. The only other property owner in the corridor where billboards have been allowed is the
Bridges Golf Course, which has already received approval for six billboards on golf course
property. Installation of billboards is not allowed on any other properties in the City.
The variance requested is the minimum necessary to allow for the second billboard while
still maintaining a separation allowable by Minnesota Department of Transportation
permitting standards, which allows for a minimum spacing of 500 feet.
6, Granting a variance for a reduced minimum spacing between two billboards would not be
materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone.
7. The proposed reduced spacing between the two billboards would not impair a supply of
light or increase congestion, nor would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public
safety or diminish property values.

Meeting Date:
Title: DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE ZONING
CODE RELATED TO THE SITING AND LOCATION OF TATTOO, BODY
PIERCING, BODY BRANDING, BODY PAINTING AND RELATED
ESTABLISHIvIENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW.
Introduction:
On February 14, 2000, the City Council adopted Ordinance 653, an emergency ordinance drafted
to prohibit the siting of tattoo shops and similar uses for a period of six months to allow the City
ample time to review and research these types of uses and other cities' relevant codes. The
ordinance expires on August 14, 2000, unless e�ended by the City Council.
Discussion:
Ordinance 653 was drafted in response to the possibility of a tattoo shop being located on County
Road I on a property zoned B-2, Limited Business District. Because the City's Zoning Code does
not contemplate tattoo and piercing shops, it could be legally argued that they would be permitted
in any commercial business district. Without any language pertinent to such uses, the City would
lose any control over potential siting requirements if the zoning code were challenged and not
upheld. (The Courts have ruled that cities may not exclude certain types of businesses or
commercial activities while permitting other types.) While no Zoning Code can contemplate
every possible type of business or commercial activity, not addressing potentially controversial
uses such as adult uses, pawn shops or gun shops, can lead to problems.
Some issues to consider with regard to the possible siting of tattoo parlors include which zoning
district would be most appropriate, whether the use would be permitted by right or conditionally,
(and if by condition, what conditions), whether setbacks would be imposed from certain sensitive
uses such as schools, residential districts or churches, and whether the uses would be licensed.
Staff is providing the Commission with three examples of zoning requirements for tattoo shops
from the cities of St. Paul, Crystal and Richfield. St. Paul's Code is less restrictive and allows
tattoo shops as permitted uses in certain districts. The City of Minneapolis also allows for tattoo
shops as permitted uses in certain districts. The other two examples are very similar in their
construction and, in comparison the St. Paul's code, are much more restrictive. It would be
sta�s suggestion that Mounds View adopt language similar to that of Crystal or Richfield with
revisions as needed.

Mr. Rick Jopke
City of Mounds View
2401 Highway 10
Mounds View, Minnesota 55112
Dear Mr. Jopke:
As you are aware the city of Mounds View is located within the Rice Creek Watershed District.
The Rice Creek Watershed District completed their second-generation watershed plan in 1997.
Minnesota Rules Chapter 8410, Metropolitan Area Local Water Management, requires local
communities to complete their local surface water management plans within two years of
watershed plan approval by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources. Therefore, it is
now time for the city of Mounds View to have completed its local surface water management
plan.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 473.859 requires the local surface water management plan to be an
integral part of the city's comprehensive plan, therefore comprehensive plans submitted without a
local water plan will be found incomplete. Communities are required to submit their local surface
water management plans to the Metropolitan Council for review at the same time that it is
submitted to the watershed organization for approval.
I would be happy to meet with you and tallc about the need for a local surface water management
plan, the options available to you, and the assistance available.
Please call me at 651-602-1156 ifyou have any questions about the local surface water
management plan process.
Sir.cerely,

Discussion Regarding a Variance Request to Allow for a Reduced Minimum Spacing Between
Two Billboards.
Applicant: DeLite Outdoor Advertising Company, Inc.
The applicant was present.
Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
The applicant, DeLite Outdoor Advertising, is requesting a variance for a reduced minimum
spacing requirement to approximately 550 feet, to allow for the siting of a billboard at the
southeast corner of the Sysco property. This issue has been before the Planning Commission at
previous meetings, and the Commission recommended to the City Council that the interim use
permit be approved subject to the applicant applying for and obtaining a variance from this
provision, which would allow Sysco to have two billboards on their property.
Planning Associate Ericson stated staff has examined the e�cisting property, and the hardship that
was evident in relation to the seven criteria that are set forth in the City Code, pursuant to State
Statutes. He indicated staff looked at the individual criteria, based upon what has occurred in the
past with regard to the siting of the billboards, and in terms of the basis for the hardship, which
would necessitate the approval of a variance.
Planning Associate Ericson advised that if the Planning Commission has any questions regarding
the criteria, or feels that an individual criteria requires to be further addressed, this could be
discussed at this time. He indicated staff is seeking direction from the Planning Commission
regarding whether or not these findings would be suitable for a resolution, and if so, staff would
draft a resolution for action at the April 19 meeting, which would approve the variance as
requested.
Planning Associate Ericson indicated this was not a public hearing, however, sta#� would send out
notifications to the property owners, and have sent a notice to the newspaper for publication
which will occur on Thursday, therefore, there will be proper notification for action at the next
meeting. He explained that this was another notice that had not been published by the Focus
Newspaper.
Paul Radamacher, representative of DeLite Outdoor Advertising stated on behalf of Sysco and
DeLite, he would urge the Commission to vote in favor of this request at the April 19 meeting,
He stated they concur with staff and their findings at this point.
Chairperson Peterson clarified that the location of this billboard would be in the corner of the
southern portion of the Sysco property. Planning Associate Ericson stated this was correct. He
explained that the parking lot extends down into the corner of the lot along Highway 10, and
there is a very small piece of land adjacent to the parking lot, before it slopes down into the
stormwater pond. He stated the applicant is proposing the sign be located in this spot, just off of

indicated that the billboards should be aesthetically complementary to the City's billboards. He
stated there was also discussion regarding a brick facing on the pole structure, however, he was
uncertain if there was any specific language pertaining to the design of the second billboard on the
Sysco property.
Planning Associate Ericson stated the resolution recommending approval of the two Sysco
billboards contains a clause which indicates that the billboards be aesthetically complementary to
the signs on the golf course, and does not differentiate between one sign and the other.
Commissioner Stevenson indicated the design style was somewhat unclear at this point, therefore,
the Commission had requested the applicant come back before them with their proposal for
further consideration of the design. Chairperson Peterson pointed out that the Council would
make the final determination in terms of the type of construction.
Planning Associate Ericson stated this was correct. He indicated the Council heard the interim
use permit request for the Sysco billboards, and this item was tabled. He stated the City's interim
use permit for billboards at the golf course was approved, however, that approval would not take
effect until sozne time in May, when Ordinances 655, 656, and 657 become ef%ctive, He
explained that the interim use permit for the Sysco billboards was tabled pending resolution of the
variance request, and it would also be subject to the effective date of the ordinances, which would
not occur until 30 days after publication, therefore, the delay would not be detrimental. He
indicated Sysco's interim use permit request would be on the April 24 Council Agenda, and it is
hoped that at that time, there will be a design proposal in place that would meet with Council
approval.
Council Liaison Marty extended his thanks to all of the Commission members. He stated he has
reviewed all of the information the Commission has forwarded on to the Council, and feels that
they are doing an excellent job. He added that the recommendations that come to the Council
appear to be examined from every aspect and perspective. He indicated he has expressed these
sentiments at the Council Meetings, however, he would like to reiterate his appreciation at this
time.
Chairperson Peterson thanked Council Liaison Marty for his comments. He stated the Planning
Commission attempts to prevent problems at the Council level if possible, and hopefully, the
information they provide is usable.

additional acres of land that are not located in the wetland.
Community Development Director Jopke stated in anticipation of the detailed discussions, staff
has developed a questionnaire for the Planning Commission pertaining to their thoughts regarding
the possible uses of the area in the future. He indicated this would depend upon the final
determination of the Rice Creek Watershed District regarding the actual wetland boundaries. He
explained that the possibilities range from leaving the area as it is to additional golf course
development, or in the area south of Highway 10, potential additional housing. He requested the
Commissioners complete the questionnaire and submit it to staffwithin the next week.
Community Development Director Jopke stated he attended a League of Minnesota Cities'

Letter From Thomas Meyer
Background:
The applicant, Harry Meinert, who lives at 2195 Pinewood Drive, is requesting a variance from
the required five-foot side yard setbacic. Mr. Meinert would lilce to remove an existing detached
11/2 car, 396 square-foot garage and replace it with a new two car, 576 square-foot detached
�ara�e at the same location. The existin� �ara�e does not meet the required five foot setbacic.
Meinert Report
May 17, 2000
Page 2
There is zzo record of a variance ever being granted. The garage probably predates the setbacic
requirement and therefore is a lawful non-conforming structure.
Analysis:
As with any variance application, for the Plamzing Commission to act favorably, there inust be a
demonstrated hardship or practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal
inteipretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes
require that the governing body review a set of specified criteria for each application and malce
its decision in accordance with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02,
Subdivision 2, of the City Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of tl�e
criteria are met. The individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:
a. Exceptional or ext��aordinaiy circu»�stayzces apply to the prope��t�� wliich do Tiot apply
gerzeYally to otlzer p��operties i�z the same zone o�� vici�zity and result fr�o�i lot size of�
shape, topogs•aplzy o�° other ciYCU»ZSta�aces ove�� which the o�vnei•s of the p��opeYty siizce
tlae effective date lae��eof have had no control.
The property is an odd shaped interior lot. The front of the lot is wider than the rear of the
lot. This can make it more difficult to meet setbacic requirements. This is not a special
circumstance, in this case, in that there are numerous similar lots in the community and
because the garage and house are constructed perpendicular to the side lot line in
question.
b. Tlae lite��al inteipf°etation of the p�°ovisions of this Title would depf°ive the applicant of
f•ights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the sa�ne district unde�° the te�°f�as of this
Title.
The applicant currently only has a one-and-a-half-stall garage which is not typical.
There are, however, alternatives to construct a smaller two-car garage or to expand the
existing garage with less of a variance. A larger garage could also be constructed in the
rear yard without a variance. Therefore, the denial of the variance would not deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by others in the same district.
c. That the special conditions oT° circunzstances do not result fi-onz the actions of the
applicant.
There are no special circumstances.

Tlzat the va��iance i•equested is tlze �niniJ�zuJn variance whicl� would alleviate the hardslzip.
Econoinic conditions alone sliall �2ot be considered a I�ai�dslzip.
The requested variance exceeds the minimum necessary to allow a two car garage to be
constructed on the site. According to the information provided by the applicant there is
approximately 32 feet from the existing house to the side property line in question. There
would be room to construct a 22 foot wide two car garage which would only require a one
foot variance while maintaining the required six foot separation between the new two-car
garage and the existing house. A variance could also be granted to allow the existing
garage to be expanded to 23 feet in width. A two-car garage could also be constructed in
the rear yard without a variance.
The varzance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to otJzer•
property in the same zone.
The purpose of the variance provision in the Code is to give relief to property owners
seeking to improve their properties yet are unable to do so because of zoning code
requirements and factors beyond their control. Granting this variance for a zero foot
setbacic would be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in
the same zone. Side yard setbacic requirements are in place to allow proper separation
between structures for health, safety, and aesthetic reasons.
g. The proposed va�iance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
prope��ty oY substantially increase tlze congestion of the public sti°eets or incf�ease tlie
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diininish or iTnpaiY pT�opef°ty
values within tlze neighborliood.
The proposed garage could impair the supply of light and air and could increase the
danger of fire and endanger the public safety.
According to ihe City Code, all of the preceding criteria shall be satisfied in order to justify the
granting of a variance. It appears to staff that in this case a hardship does not exist, and as such,
if the Planning Commission were to concur, a variance should not be granted to allow the
applicants to build their garage with a zero side yard setback
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission direct staff to prepare a resolution approving or
denying the variance request contaizung the appropriate findings for consideration at the June 7,
2000 Planning Commission meeting.

TO: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: Harry Meinert
I, Harry Meinert would like to request a variance to build a 24' x 24' garage on the existing
property site. The current garage sits three feet from the western border property line. I
have already received permission in writing from the resident of 2201 Pinewood Drive to
build the new building up to the property line.
The new structure would still be a full six feet from the house and would run the 24' to the
western property line. Therefore gaining the necessary footage to accommodate my
property to its fullest, without gaining a variance and having to comply with set backs. I
would be to close to the house (less than the 6 ft. minimum).
Sincerely,
��l..�vr�„f
Harry D. Meinert

Title:
PUBLIC HEARING, DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE
PERMIT FOR A 1,248 SQU1�RE-FOOT OVERSIZED GARAGE LOCATED AT 2832
WOODALE DRIVE.
Plannirzg Case No: CU00-004
Applicant: Thomas Stampfle
Locatron: 2832 Woodale Drive
Applzcable Regulatioras:
• 1104.01, Subd. 4: Accessory buildings shall have a setback of 5 feet. Accessory buildings
shall not be allowed in the fiont yard.
• 1106.03, Subd. lf: No garage shall exceed 952 square feet except by CUP.
• 1106.04, Subd.6: This section lists the specific conditions for garages exceeding nine
hundred and fifty-two square feet.
• 1125.01, Sub. le: This section lists possible adverse effects that the Planning
Commission shall consider in malcing its recommendation.
Iiztroduction:
The applicant, Thomas Stalnpfle, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to construct a
1,248 square-foot garage on his property located at 2832 Woodale Drive. The heavily wooded
37,000 square-foot lot is well maintained and improved with an older, one and a half story cape
cod and a small two-car garage attached to the home by a breezeway. The existing garage will be
demolished to make room for the proposed garage, which would be built in the same location in
the side yard. There is a small 10 x 10 shed on the property, hidden in the woods.
Discussione
Section 1106.4, Subdivision 6, lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for garages
larger than 952 square feet. These requirements, such as setbacics and maximuin square-footage
would be met with this proposal. The setbacks for an accessory structure are iive feet; the
applicant is proposing to reconstruct the garage 10 feet from the side property line and 70 feet from
the street. The Code sets an upper limit of accessory storage space on a property at 1,400 square

feet. With the proposed garage and the shed in the woods, there would be 1,348 square feet of
accessory buildings on this lot, iifty-two square feet less than the maxiinum allowed.
As is the case with every conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission is
required to consider the possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. The findings of
the Planning Commission shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
• Relatiorzshzp wztli tlze CoT�aprehensive Plan.
• Tlze Geogi�aphical Ai�ea Involved
• Whether such use will tencl to oY actually dep�°eciate the a�°ea in w1�.ich it is proposed.
• The CIZai°acteT° of the SuYrou�zding Ai•ea
• The demonstrated need for such a use.
The Planning Commission believes that the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development
and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness
of housing units and residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this
property, 2832 Woodale Drive, as low-density residential. Most of the lots in this area of
Mounds View are large and able to support larger garages. There is a good mix of housing styles
in the neighborhood, some of which are traditional, others, including the home adjacent to the
east, are more eclectic or avant-garde. Given the size of the lot, a privacy fence along the east
side property line and the heavily wooded condition of the lot, it is not believed that the
construction of the proposed 1,248 square-foot garage would depreciate the neighborhood in any
way. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and would fit with the
general character of the neighborhood. The applicant has indicated that the existing garage is in
poor condition and needs to be replaced. Given the inconvenient location of the shed, the
expanded garage area would offer additional convenient storage space. Staff inspected the
property and believes that the proposed garage would not appear out of place, would be more
than adequately screened from the neighbors and would maintain a sense of balance and
proportion on the property. The adverse effects of this proposal, if any, are minimal.
Recommeridation:
Given the above fndings, staff recommends approval of P1amling Commission Resolution
617-00, with stipulations.

Mr. Jim Ericson, Planning .A.ssociate
City of Mounds View
2401 Highway 10
Mounds View, MN 55112-149
Dear Mr. Ericson:
Find enclosed my application for a`Conditional Use Permit' and a site plan for a proposed garage on xny property. My
plans include the total demolition of the existing garage structure (and slab) do to it's 60 year age which has taken it's
toll on the structural integrity of the building. A sagging roof, no footings, are just a few of the things that are tiuning
this structure into a hazard in the not to d.istant future.
The proposed structure is an oversized building with m.easurements of 52' long x 24' wide. As the plan details show, it
is a basic gable style building with no special effects that may stand out in a fri.endly neighborhood setting. The new
st-ructure will have a proper type foundation and modern construction practices incorporated. I would like to make the
finished grade of the new structure about 1' higher than the existing building. During the spring melt and longer �
average rains, the existing garage can become a holding pond for the rain water. By raising the grade I can elitrunaie
this problem entirely and get the driveway to slightly slant towards the street.
Please review the information and call me any time with questions.
Sincerly,
�—� �� ,

Title:
CONSIDERATION OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST FOR A 400 SQUARE-
FOOT OVER-SIZED SHED LOCATED AT 7474 GROVELAND ROAD
Planning Case No:
Applacant:
Locatiora:
Applicable Regulatio�zs:
CU00-005
Phil Johnson
7474 Groveland Road
• Section 1106.03, Subd. lh, states that no property shall have more than one shed and one garage.
• Section 1106.03, Subd. lj, stipulates that the combined square footage for all accessory buildings
in a rear yard shall not occupy more than 20% of the rear yard.
• Section 1106.04, SuUd. 7lists the specific conditional use requirements for an over-sized shed.
• Section 1125.01, Subdivision 1 lists the general adverse effects criteria which need to be addressed
in order for a conditional use permit to be approved
Introduction:
The applicant, Phil Johnson, is requesting approval of a conditional use pennit to allow for the
construction of a 400 square-foot oversized shed in the backyard of his property at 7474
Groveland Road. The 15,840 square-foot, well maintained lot is improved with a newer bricic
split-level home and attached two-car garage. There is currently one small shed on the property
that will be removed to make room for the proposed, larger shed. Numerous mature trees and an
8-foot tall privacy fence shield the back yard of view from adjacent properties.
Discussion:
Section 1106.4, Subdivision 7lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for accessory
storage buildings in excess of 216 square feet. These requirements, such as setbacics and
maximum square-footage would be met with this proposal. The setbacics for an accessory structure
are five feet; the applicant is proposing to locate the shed in the southwest.corner of the rear yard
no closer than five feet to the property line. The area of the proposed shed would be 400 square
feet, which is the maximum allowed. The Code requires that by accessory buildings take up no
more than 20 percent of a rear yard; this proposal would equate to an 8.9 percent coverage.

As is the case with every conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission is to
consider the possible adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. The findings of the
Planning Commission shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
• Relationship with the CoinpJ°ehensive Plan.
• The Geographical Area Involved
• Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
• The Character of the Surrounding Area
• The demonstrated need for such a use.
The Planning Commission believes that the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development
and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness
of housing units and residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this
property, 7474 Groveland Road, as low-density residential. Most of the lots in this area of
Mounds View are either the same size as the subject property or larger with a good mix of
housing styles. Given the size of the lot, the number of mature trees and the complete bacicyard
screening accomplished by the wood privacy fence, it is not believed that the construction of the
proposed 400 square-foot shed would depreciate the neighborhood in any way. This proposal
does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and would fit with the general character of the
neighborhood. The applicant has stated the existing shed is too small to suit his storage needs
and has thus requested approval of the larger shed. Staff inspected the property and believes that
the 400 square-foot shed would not appear out of place, would be more than adequately screened
from the neighbors and would maintain a sense of balance and proportion on the property.
The applicant has submitted a non-binding list of signatures of neighbors and area residents who
would not be opposed to the oversized shed. The property owners adjacent to the applicant do
not oppose the proposed shed.
Recommendation:
Given the above findings, the apparent support of the neighbors, the more than adequate
screening and the fact that proposal would meet all applicable requirements of the City Code,
staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 618-00, a resolution
recommending to the City Council approval of this conditional use pennit request, subject to
stipulations.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: May 17, 2000
Title: PUBLIC HEARING, DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW FOR AN ENCLOSED
OUTDOOR STORAGE AREA AT 4749 OLD HIGHWAY 8.
Plannang Case No: CU00-006
Applicant: ASC Properties, LLC
Locataon: 4749 Old Highway 8
Applicable Regulations:
• 1116,04, Subd. l: Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use requires a conditional
use permit.
Introduction:
The applicant, ASC Properties, LLC., represented by Bruce Hasselbring, is requesting approval of
a conditional use permit to allow for a 1,920 square-foot outdoor chain-link fenced enclosure in
which to store materials used by the building's tenant, Ace Supply Company. The Zoning Code
allows for outdoor storage in an industrial district, but only through a conditional use permit.
The 1.97 acre lot bordering the City ofNew Brighton is improved with a two-story, 38,000
square-foot office-warehouse building. The Planning Commission recently approved a side-yard
setback variance for the applicant when ASC took ownership of the property earlier this year.
The outdoor storage is desired to alleviate the inherent difficulties of maneuvering 10 and 15-foot
sections of PVC pipe inside the building.
Discussion:
Section 1125.01 of the Zoning Code requires that the Planning Commission consider the possible
adverse effects of the proposed conditional use. The findings of the Planning Corrunission shall be
based upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
• Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan.
• The Geographical Area Involved
• Whether such use will tend to or actually deprecicrte the crrea in which it is proposed.
• The Character� of the Surroundirrg Ar•ea
• The demonstr�ated need for such a use.

May 17, 2000
Page 2
The Comprehensive Plan designates this property and this area for industrial uses. The subject
property is improved with an office-warehouse type building, as is the property directly to the
north. Other properties in the area support a mix of light and heavier industrial uses, many of
which also utilize outdoor storage to some degree. The fenced enclosure would be visible to
traf�'ic on Old Highway 8 as well as to the adjacent property to the north, whose offices would
face the proposed enclosure. Staffreceived a call from the adjacent property owner who
expressed concern about the appearance of the proposed enclosure. ASC representative
Hasselbring has proposed to install heavy-duty woven slats to further screen the materials being
kept outside. No chemicals, hazardous substances or waste materials would be stored outside
within the enclosure—only weather-resistant PVC piping.
Section 1125.01, Subd. 3, of the Zoning Code identifies the general conditional use permit
pertinent to all CUP applications. The City Council is to consider these criteria in addition to the
advice and recommendation of the Planning Commission, For the Planning Commission to make
a recommendation, staff thought it might be appropriate to review the general criteria in addition
to the adverse effects considerations. These general criteria with responses are as follows:
1. The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, sfreets and other public
facilities and utilities which se��ve or- crre proposed to serve the area.
It is not expected that the enclosed outdoor storage area would have any impact on existing parks,
schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve this area.
2. The use will be suffrciently compatible or sepa��ated by distance or screening fi•om adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that exrsting homes will not be depreciated in value and there
will be no deten•ence to development of vacant land
There is no residentially zoned or used land adjacent to or nearby the subject parcel and all land in
the area has been developed.
3. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent reszdential pf•operties.
There is no residentially zoned or used land adjacent to or nearby the subject parcel. As such, this
criteria does not apply.
4. The use, in the opinion vf the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City
and to the existing land use.
Outdoor storage is a typical accessory use within this zoning district reasonably related to the
needs of the businesses that operate in the area.
S. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district
in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.

The Planning Corrunission finds the proposed use to be consistent with the Zoning Code.
T7ie use is not in cor�ict �vith the Conaprehensive Plan of the City.
The Planning Commission finds the proposed use to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The use �vill not cause ira�c hazards or congestiorr.
The proposed enclosure would not cause and traffic hazards or congestion.
Adequate utilities, access roads, draznage and necessaryfacilities have been or will be provided
The enclosed area would be located in the paved area adjacent to the building's north side,
to which all utilities and access are already in place.
It appears that all of the general conditional use permit criteria and adverse effects criteria are met
with this proposed use.
Recommendation:
Given that the property is zoned Industrial and the comprehensive plan designates this area for
industrial uses, and given that outdoor storage is a conditionally allowed accessory use in this
district, and given the relatively minimal impacts of the proposed use, staff recommends the
Planning Commission approve Resolution 619-00, a resolution recommending approval of a
conditional use permit for enclosed outdoor storage at 4749 Old Highway 8, with stipulations.

Applicable Regulations:

2251 Oakwood Drive
• 1104.01, Subd. 4: Accessory buildings shall have a setback of 5 feet. Accessory buildings
shall not be allowed in the front yard.
• 1106.03, Subd. lf: No garage shall exceed 952 square feet except by CUP.
• 1106.04. Subd.6: This section lists the specific conditions for garages exceeding nine
hundred and fifty-two square feet.
• 1125.01. Sub. le: This section lists possible adverse effects that the Planning Commission
shall consider in making its recommendation.
Introduction:
The applicant, Kenneth Waste, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to construct a
1,150 square-foot garage on his property located at 2251 Oakwood Drive. Mr. Waste has
indicated that the existing single-stall garage is in poor condition and needs to be replaced.
The lot is 12,000 square feet, slightly larger than the minimum allowed in the City. It is improved
with a one and a half story home which at some point has had the upper level fully expanded on
the side facing the street. The existing detached garage situated alongside the home will be
demolished to make room for the proposed garage, which would be built in the same location in
the side yard. There is a shed in the rear yard which would also be removed in conjunction with
the proposed garage construction.
Discussaon:
Section 1106.4, Subdivision 6, lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for garages
larger than 952 square feet. These requirements, such as setbacks and maximum squa.re-footage

would be met with this proposal. The Code sets an upper limit of accessory storage space on a
property at 1,400 square feet. The applicant is proposing to attach the 1,150 square-foot garage to
the house, maintaining the same front setback as the house. The garage would be at least five feet
frotn the side property line.
As is the case with every conditional use permit application, the Planning Commission is required
to consider the possible adverse efPects of the proposed conditional use. The findings of the
Planning Commission shall be based upon, but not limited to, the following factors:
• Relationship with the Conip��ehensive Plan.
• The Geographical A��ea Involved
• Whether such use will tend to or actually dept�eciate the area in which it is proposed.
• The Character of the Surrounding Area
• The demonstrated need for such a use.
The Planning Commission believes that the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and
maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of
housing units and residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this
property, 2251 Oakwood Drive, as low-density residential. The 12,000 square-foot lot is small,
yet typical for this area of Mounds View. Most of the homes in this subdivision are older, one
and a half story cape cods that were built in the early 1950s—one of the first subdivisions built in
the City. Most of the homes were built with detached single-stall garages, which by today's
standards, is not sufficient for the typical multi-car family. Many of the property owners in this
area have already expanded or replaced the original garages.
Given the size of the lot, however, extra consideration is needed to ensure that the proposed
garage would maintain a sense of balance and proportion between the home and garage. The
home is 36 feet by 32 feet, or 1,152 square feet and factoring in the upper story, has more than
2,000 square feet of living space. The 23-foot wide garage would be oriented sideways toward
the street, such that bulk of the garage would be directed toward the back of the lot. Attached to
the house, the garage would represent 39 percent of the front width of the combined structures.
It is not believed that the construction of the proposed 1,150 square-foot garage would depreciate
the neighborhood in any way. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan and
would not be out of place considering the character of the neighborhood. Staff has inspected the
property and believes that the construction of the proposed garage would be an improvement
from what e�sts currently. There is a privacy fence in the backyard which would help buffer and
screen the garage from the adjacent neighbors' views,
Staff received a call from a property owner within 350 feet of 2251 Oakwood Drive who raised a
concern that the larger garage would be used for some commercial purpose. The caller, who did
not identify himself, was told that the Planning Commission and City Council would explicitly
stipulate that the garage, if approved, could not be used for a comnnercial purpose or for any

complementary to the existing dwelling.

Church has been present at this site for a number of years, the proposed expansion of the parking
lot would bring it closer to the other properties, and the new parking lot lights would create an
encroachment into the nighttime calm and peace that the neighborhood currently enjoys. He
advised that the resolution before the Planning Commission contains a stipulation that the lighting
plan be revised to indicate that the light standards be 24 feet in height or less, with lesser intensity

relating to tattoo shops and piercing parlors, one of which is that of the city of St. Paul, which is
quite brief, and the other two from the cities of Crystal and Richfield. He indicated that the
Richfield and Crystal codes were very similar in nature, and were actually drafted by the same
company. He noted that once a good ordinance is drafted, it is often the case that same ordinance
is adopted by other cities.

�;� c�ral��;dt�r�resses these criteria in the matrix.
�"�����3��' 1�'ssociate Ericson added that this ordinance goes no further than to specify the location
of' ihe use, and in which district, in terms of sizing requirements or matters of this nature. He
stated the city of Minneapolis is similar, in that these uses are specifically permitted in certain
districts, as opposed to conditionally permitted. He pointed out that this might be one advantage
of a city this size, in that they have many zoning districts, with many divisions and different
classifications, and the uses might be pernvtted in such a limited area.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: June 7, 2000
Title: PUBLIC HEARING AND DISCUSSION REGARDING A PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR A WALGREENS DRUGSTORE AND
CULVERS RESTAURANT AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
HIGHWAY 10 AND EDGEWOOD DRIVE
Planning Case: ZC00-002
Applicant: Bob Cunningham, Representing TOLD Development Company
Introduction:
Bob Cunningham, representing TOLD Development Company, is requesting approval of a
Planned Unit Development to construct a Walgreens Drugstore and Culver's Restaurant at the
northeast corner of Highway 10 and Edgewood Drive on property commonly referred to as the
City's "remnant parcel." Mr. Cunningham is proposing to swap approximately 7.7 acres of the
Midland Videen site for the remnant parcel, which is approximately 2/3 of an acre. It is proposed
that the stormwater pond on the remnant parcel would be relocated to high ground within the 7.7
acre Midland Videen site.
Approximately 3.2 acres of the 7.7 acres to be received by the City are upland and potentially
developable. The remaining acreage is wetland, delineated by the City's engineer, SEH. Within
the upland area, it would be proposed that the City's stormwater pond would be relocated and
resized to accommodate more runoff and to help reduce potential flooding that may occur
downstream south of Highway 10. In addition to the relocated stormwater pond, the pond
adjacent to the Community Center would be expanded to provide more of a community surface
water management benefit. It is further proposed that the developer would construct a paved trail
that would encircle the wetlands, connecting to both the Community Center and the proposed
development. The 7.7 acres would be utilized as passive outdoor open space, preserving and
enhancing the natural and scenic value of this wetland as well as to preserve the wildlife habitat
and to improve the City's surface water management system.
In order for the Walgreens Planned Unit Development to proceed, the site would need to be
replatted to create the two development parcels. In so doing, the Community Center would
become one parcel, as would the City Hall / Public Works land. The wetlands would be platted
as an outlot. In conjunction with the replatting, the right of ways for Edgewood Drive and
Bronson Drive would be dedicated. In addition, the right of way for the original Edgewood
Drive would be vacated and any utility easements vacated or relocated as needed.

Walgreens PUD Report
2387 Highway 10
June 7, 2000
Page 2
PUD Discussion:
The minimum project area for a commercial PUD is 5.0 acres. Because the project area includes
the complete Midland Videen parcel, the total project area is approximately 10.4 acres. Planned
Unit Developments are processed in three stages: Concept, Development Review, and Final.
Public Hearings are required for the concept and development review stages of the process. The
third and last stage of the PUD process--final approval--is administratively approved. (Refer to
Chapter 1120 of you Zoning Code for more information on the PUD process.) At the discretion
of the developer, the concept and development stages may be combined to help expedite the
approval process. (The concept stage is for the benefit of the developer, to receive City approval
of the general concept without the extensive financial outlay often required for detailed site
plans, surveys, consultants, etc.) The City Attorney is drafting a Development Contract that will
spell out all of the details and requirements of this project. In addition, a PUD document will be
drafted that addresses the specific site improvements and any conditions and or stipulations
attached to the project.

*These dimensional requirements apply only to Lot 1. Because this project is proposed as a PUD, the parking lot
setbacks and parking requirements may be less than what would normally be allowed in the underlying zoning
district.
Parkin�:
The site plan indicates availability of 98 parking stalls. The City Code requires retail
establishments provide one stall per one hundred feet of retail floor area plus one space per
employee. Given an anticipated retail floor area of 10,584 square feet and six employees on the
busiest shift, the Code would require provision of 112 stalls. Because the project is a planned
unit development, specific code and dimensional requirements may be reduced in the best
interest of the development to allow for greater design flexibility and conservation of land and
open space. Four handicapped accessible stalls are shown which is consistent with ADA
requirements. In addition, there will be a cross access and reciprocal parking easement agreement
between Lot 1 and Lot 2, which will allow for overflow parking for either use if needed.

Building Design.:
The proposed Walgreens would be 15,120 square feet with a two-lane drive-thru prescription
pick-up. The 24-foot tall, one-story building would be of a brick-face construction similar color
to the Community Center. The top half of the building would be wrapped in an exterior finish
and Insulation system (EFIS) similar to other newer Walgreens stores in the area.
Signage:
The applicant proposes a total of 205 square feet of building signage and additional 120 square
feet of pylon site signage. Altogether, for the proposed Walgreens, 320 square feet of signage is
proposed. The proposed pylon sign, as shown on Page A5.1, is 25 feet tall and is supported by
two steel poles. While staff is comfortable with the proposed height of the sign, the design is not
in keeping with the monument style design desired for this area. Staff would strongly suggest
that the signage be limited to a brick monument design, or, if a pylon is required due to
contractual obligations, that the supporting columns be of brick and masonry with decorative
cornice treatments near the top of the sign.
Wetland Buffer':
While not expressly indicated on the site plan, a portion of the buildings and parking lots will fall
within the 100-foot wetland buffer setback. Given the proposed expansion of the Community
Cen�ter stormwater pond and the relocation and expansion of the remnant parcel stormwater
pond, the potential impact to the wetlands should be minimal. SEH, the City's engineer, has
reviewed the proposed plans and agrees that the overall regional benefit of the expanded
stormwater ponds would more than compensate for any potential impacts to the wetland. The
proposed parking lots on either Lot 1 or 2 would not be any closer to the delineated edge of the
wetland than the Community Center's parking lot, which is within five feet of the wetland.
Landscapin�
There is very little existing landscaping and tree-cover in the area to be developed. The applicant
proposes to add minimal landscaping to the site as shown on the landscape plan. Staff believes,
however, given the prominence of the site and extent of the impervious surface coverage in close
proximity to the wetland, more plantings are necessary to help stabilize the pervious area and to
increase the perceived aesthetic appeal of the project. The applicant should be directed to add
more plantings and explore the feasibility of plantings in the parking lot islands to further lend a
wooded feel to the development

The applicant has not yet submitted a photometric analysis of the site. Staff would suggest that
the developer select lighting consistent with and similar to that at the Community Center and
City Hall. In addition, The City is working with NSP and the Movie Theater to install
ornamental lighting along the Highway 10 trailway. Staff recommends that the applicant be
subject to installing similar ornamental lighting along its trailway fronting of Highway 10 in
conjunction with the installation of the ornamental lighting on the south side of Highway 10.

Walgreens PUD Report
2387 Highway 10
June 7, 2000

Access:
The site plan shows a right-in right-out access from the northbound land of Highway 10. The
primary access would be taken from Edgewood Drive, in the location of the present curb cut on
Edgewood Drive. There is some question as to whether Ramsey County Traffic Engineers will
allow for the proposed right-in right-out, or any access for that matter, on Highway 10, due to the
presence of the deceleration lane for Edgewood Drive. The site plan will be forwarded to
Ramsey County for their comment and review in conjunction with the preliminary plat.
Drainage and Utilitv:
The applicant has submitted plans to Rice Creek Watershed District for review, who has
administratively approved of the concept plans calling for the relocated stormwater pond. Mike
Ulrich, the City's public Works Director, and SEH Hydrologist Rocky Keehn have reviewed the
proposed drainage and utility plans and have recommended changes. These plans are in the
process of being revised in accordance with the suggestions changes and may be available at the
time of the Commission meeting on June 7. It is anticipated the applicant would need to work
within the delineated wetland to install the required storm sewers, which would also need to be
approved by Rice Creek watershed District.
Trailwavs:
It has been suggested that the developer shall be responsible for installing a bituminous path
around the wetland that would connect to the Community Center as well as to the proposed
Walgreens / Culver's development. In addition, there is a strong desire to install bituminous
pathways along the Highway 10 Corridor as indicated in the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan
and as recently evidenced with the construction of the movie theater across from City Hall. In
that case, the theater developers were required to install 1,7001ineal feet of paved trails along
Highway 10 on theater property. The Walgreens site plan as proposed would not allow for a
trailway to be installed along Highway 10 as the parking lot is shown to be set back five feet
from the property line. Because the City requires 7-foot wide trails, the parking lot would need
to be set back from the property line a minimum of 10 feet. It is not know if the site plan could
be arranged in such a way to allow for this, but staff would suggest it be done to accommodate
the Highway 10 trailway off of the County right of way.
Major Subdivision Discussion:
Preliminarv Plat:
Mr. Cunningham has arranged to have a complete and full survey done on the City Hall property,
public works property, the Community Center, the Midland Videen site and the remnant parcel.
This survey is included with your staff report for your reference. Utilizing the information
obtained from the survey, a draft preliminary plat was drafted. While this too is included for your
reference, it is only labeled as "Exhibit99 in the lower left hand corner of the plan. The proposed
plat has not yet been identified with a name. Because the remnant parcel is a part of the City Hall

site, all of City Hall will be included in the yet to be named plat. The Walgreens lot would be
replatted as Lot 1, Block 1; the Culver's site as Lot 2, Block 1, the Community Center as Lot 3,
Block 1; and the wetlands replatted as Outlot A. City Hall would be replatted as Lot 1, Block 2.
The 66 feet strip of land directly east of the Community Center would be attached to the
Community Center lot instead of with the proposed Outlot A.
The full platting of the City Hall site does allow the City to legally dedicate both Edgewood
Drive and Bronson Drive right of ways. Up to this point, and until the plat would be approved,
the streets simply were constructed on City property and were not platted as streets. In fact,
Edgewood Drive was never platted to access Highway 10, so the proposed plat will address that
as well. Because Edgewood Drive was realigned, the former right of way is no longer needed
and is proposed for vacation with the southern 280 feet going being attached to the proposed
Walgreens and Culver's lots and that area adjacent to the Community Center vacated and
attached to the Community Center lot. The right of way would need to be vacated by ordinance.
In addition, it will be necessary for easements to be dedicated for the relocated and existing
utilities, as well as for five- and ten-foot side and front yard drainage and utility easements
comrnon with all major subdivisions.
Existing Signage Easements:
There are two recorded signage easements on the Midland Videen property; one for the present
billboard and the other for the old Bel Rae Ballroom sign, which was removed in conjunction
with the construction of the Community Center. In its place, a small sign for the day care center
was erected. It is proposed that the portion of the easement area that would encroach onto
proposed Lot 1, Block 1 be vacated. The applicant has requested that the proposed owner of Lot
2, Block 1(Culver's) be awarded easement rights to utilize a portion of the remaining easement
area for a business sign visible from Highway 10. Staff will consult with the City Attorney to
determine if this can be done as part of the PUD agreement.
Recommendation:
Because no action is proposed for this request at this time, staff is seeking input from the Planning
Commission as to those issues identified as either being deficient or needing more information.
The applicant will provide the updated preliminary plat, drainage plans, grading and utility plans,
revised site plan and the lighting plan for the Commission's meeting on June 21.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: June 7, 2000
Title:
DISCUSSION REGARDING DIRECTION TO REVISE AND AIV�ND THE MOUNDS VIEW
ZONING CODE RELATING TO ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
Introduction:
As the Planning Commission is aware, staff has indicated for some time of the need to revise the
Zoning Code relating to accessory structures, and more specifically, the conditional use permit
renuirements associated with accessory structures. The City Council heightened the priority level
of this task when at a recent council meeting it directed staff to revise the Code in response to the
number of shed CUPs being processed.
Dascussion:
Rather than staff drafting an ordinance for the Commissions review, staff decided to first ask some
questions regarding this issue so as to draft an ordinance that is in keeping with the desires of the
Planning Commission. Currently, a conditional use permit (CUP) is required for any shed larger
than 216 square feet. The maximum size of a shed with a CUP is 400 square feet. Only one shed is
allowed on a lot.
If not 216 square feet, what should the CUP threshold be? (216 square feet is equal to a 12'
x 18' footprint.) 14' x 20' ? 14' x 22' ?
2. Should the maximum shed area of 400 square feet be increased? Already this year, the City
has processed two shed CUP requests, both for 400 square feet.
Should larger sheds be permitted uses in larger yards rather than by CUP?
4. Should more than one shed be allowed? On larger lots?
And as long as we are examining the requirements for sheds, there are other accessory use issues
which should be considered as well.
Garages up to 952 square feet are allowed without a CUP. Garages up to 1,400 are
conditionally allowed. Should the 952 be increased? Should the 1,400 be increased? (Until
just two years ago, the above thresholds were 864 and 1264 square feet, respectively.)
2. By CUP, Garages may not provide access for more than three vehicles (i.e., may not have
more than three doors). Should this limitation be removed? Should the limitation apply
only to garages facing the street? This requirement does not apply for garages 9S2 square
feet or less.

Code Revision Report

G
By CUP, garages shall not be wider than 35 feet. Interestingly enough, there is no similar
provision for garages less than 952 square feet, which means that a person could
unconditionally have a 40-foot wide garage with access for four vehicles. Should this be
made consistent? In which way?
Some walkout ramblers with attached garages could (and do) have lower level garages that
can be accessed from the side or rear. How should the Code address multi-level garages?
Footprint only?
The Code allows for a 400 square-foot shed, but not a second garage. Should the Code be
amended to allow for a second garage, as long as the 1,400 square foot maximum is
observed?
There is a consensus that newer homes with large attached garages fronting the street are
unappealing. Should the City, by virtue of some "perFormance zoning" techniques,
encourage the location of garages in the rear yard, thus preserving the aesthetic appeal of
the home?
Other issues which will need to be addressed.
Our Code requires accessory buildings be set back six feet from any other building. The
Uniform Building Code (UBC) requires only a three-foot setback. Staff would propose that
our Zoning Code be amended to be consistent with the UBC. In addition, the Zoning Code
should be amended such that setbacks less than three feet be allowed with written approval
of the building official to ensure fire code standards are incorporated into the proposed
construction.
2. In 1998, when the Zoning Code relating to accessory structures was last revised, a
stipulation was added that required a CUP if the footprint of the proposed garage was larger
than the footprint of the home. Staff is suggesting that this provision be repealed because
(1) it is an administrative headache, (2) is not fair or equitable for owners of small houses,
and (3) creates additional work for staff, the Planning Commission and the City Council.
Recommendation:
Please direct staff as to your individual thoughts on each of the addressed items as well as other
related issues so that an ordinance may be drafted for your action on June 21, 2000.

Creek Watershed District Water Management Plan was approved in 1997, and the City must now
meet that requirement.

well as what the City of Mounds View has approved up to the present for oversized garages and
sheds.
Dascussion:
Staff identified numerous questions pertaining to the zoning requirements for accessory structures
which will need to be answered before an ordinance can be drafted. These issues and questions are
as follows:
• The maximum area for a shed w/o a CUP is 216 square feet. Should this be increased? If so,
to what?
• Should the ma�mum shed area w/ a CUP be increased from 400 square feet?
• Should larger sheds be permitted uses in larger yards rather than by CUP?
• Should more than one shed be allowed? On larger lots?
• Garages up to 952 square feet are allowed without a CUP. Garages up to 1,400 are
conditionally allowed. Should the 952 be increased? Should the 1,400 be increased?
• By CUP, garages may not provide access for more than three vehicles. Should this
limitation be removed? Should the limitation apply only to garages facing the street? (This
requirement does not apply for garages 952 square feet or less)
• Should there be a maximum garage width?
• How should the Code address multi-level garages? Footprint only?
• The Code allows for a 400 square-foot shed, but not a second garage. Should the Code be
amended to allow for a second garage, as long as the 1,400 square foot maximum is
observed?

• Eliminate the requirement that no garage--except by CUP--shall exceed the footprint of the
home?
• Institute a maximum accessory building coverage percentage? Of lot or rear yard?
Sun�ev Results.•
Staff surveyed all of Mounds View's municipal neighbors as well as the cities of Columbia Heights
and Maplewood, asking five specific questions: What is the maximum allowed size of an accessory
structure without a CUP, what is the maximum allowed area with a CUP, are there any special
requirements for an accessory structure, can a resident have more than one shed or garage, and what
is the ma�mum size of an attached or detached garage? (The results of this survey are attached to
this report).
Generally speaking, the surveyed cities range the spectrum regarding sheds. Most cities, however,
do not differentiate between sheds and garages. Only one city—Blaine, at 200 square feet—has a
lower maximum area requirement for sheds t5han Mounds View. At the other end of tlie spectrum,
Maplewood allows for the most square feet of accessory building space, although the maximum can
only be achieved on the largest lots. Five of the cities surveys have either maximum building
coverage percentage or rear-yard percentage requirements. Two cities—Arden Hills and New
Brighton—do not regulate attached garage area.
Histo�°ical Oven�iew of Conditional Use Pef�mits:
Staff has collected this data going back to 1980 and will present the results in table format at your
meeting
Recommendation:
After discussing the above questions, reviewing the attached survey results and the historical CUP
analysis (to be provided at your meeting), staff is requesting that the Commission reach a consensus
and to direct staffto draft an ordinance which would amend the Zoning Code with regard to
accessory structures.

'i�'� ����jttcant, Harry Meir►ert, is requesting a variance to allow for a garage expansion on his
prropet-�y located at 2195 Pinewood Drive. The applicant proposes to replace the existing garage
with a 576 square-foot detached garage in the same location as the existing garage, which, as it is

commented he has measured several times, and deterrr►ined there would be S feet 8 inc�;es one

Chairperson Peterson indicated there appeared to be alt�r.����2r�v����?-v��il�ble other than th� �`������;st
for a zero setback. Mr. Meinert stated he did not desii-� �c� �c���������c,i:,;r.h� garage in bacic o� �he

once the structure is demolished, the lega�;,£�t�n-co��%j�°�ai;r�� ;���'r,us �ould disappear, and the
current 3-foot setback would be lost. He'ai�vised that �:� �(�a�; k?�i��iy f.�x� new construction must
meet all of the requirements of th� Cod�,�'and since fhe g�ra�;�; la�.Y existed in this location for
many years, he did not see a real i�;;u� �n this regard, howe��r, in terms of allowing a lesser

that only 3 of the 7 criteria for hardship were met with his
nmissioner Kaden ��ted he would be comfortable allowing the existing three-foot setback, if

: ,,
;�n�ble, anc� �t ufi�uld not necessarily require a survey because the structure already exists.
sy����li�a��„���r��x'�� �>`tevenson advised that this was a public hearing, and the Commission would not

ha6� � c,qia��ted the Commission provide direction regarding the preparation of a resolution.
Chairperson Peterson explained that the Commission could not be fully aware of what could be
done without knowing the actual distance between the structures and the property line. He

indicated that if the proposed garage were constructed in the same location as the present garage
and perhaps expanded closer to the house, a variance would be required regardless, to repl�ce the
structure that has been legally non-confornvng. He advised that there wc���lc? hav„� to be a

City of Mounds View
Planning Commiss�on Report
Meeting Date: July S, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION REGARDING UPDATED LOCAL SURFACE WATER
MANAGEMENT PLAN
Introduction:
Mounds View adopted a local water surface water management plan in 1992 in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes. The city is now required to complete a second-generation local surface water
management plan consistent with the Rice Creek Watershed District Plan that they adopted in 1997.
Current State Statutes also require that local surface water management plans be an integral part of the
City's comprehensive plan. The Metropolitan Couucil has completed a"completeness" review of the
city's comprehensive plan and has commented tl�at the local surface water management plan must be
submitted.
Discussione
As you may recall the updated comprehensive plan approved by the Planning Commission indicated that
an update of Mounds View's local surface water management plan was a uecessary step listed in the
implementation element of the plan.
SEH, the city's engineering consultant, was present at the May 3rd Planning Cotnmission meeting and
discussed the framework of the updated plan. As part of the update Mounds View will formally adopt the
rules, goals, and policies of the Rice Creelc Watershed District as its own. Rice Creek Watershed District
will continue to have authority over NPDES Permits and the requirements of the Wetland Conservation
Act for the City of Mounds View. The Planning Commission provided input to SEH and they have now
connpleted the draft document.
Representatives from SEH will be present at the July 5, 2000 Planning Commission meeting to review the
attached draft with the commission.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the Planning Commission review the draft document and recommend its approval
to the City Council. Planning Commission Resolution No. 622 that would complete that action is attached
f r� your consideration.

Re: Mounds View Comprehensive Plan Update
Metropolitan Council Referral File # 18258-1
Metropolitan Council District 10
Dear Mr. Jopke:
Metropolitan Council staff has finished its completeness review of the Mounds View
Comprehensive Plan Update. Most elements of the plan are complete. The transportation element
is one of the most thorough transportation elements we have seen in a long time. It adequately
addresses all applicable surface transportation and transit requirennents of a comprehensive plan.
However, the staff finds the plan incomplete at this time in the Aviation, Land Use,
NaturaUWater Resources, and Sewers elements. Below is a description of information needed to
make a completeneSs determination, and staff advisory comments. We would like to meet with
you as soon as possible to help address these items and begin review of the plan. The Council
cannot begin the forma160-day plan review until the following information is received:
INCOMPLETE AREAS
Aviation (Channcey Case, 651-602-1724)
The Aviation element should restate the latest agreement between the Council, the MAC and the
city. The plan includes reference on pages 26, 86, and 103 concerning court-order information
that has been superseded by the legislative action and agreement between the Council, the MAC
and the city.
The old references should be deleted, and reference to the new action incorporated in the city
plan. The text on page 102, itezn 6, should also be clanified in the context of the new
agreement.
On page 86, the city indicates that it is almost fully developed, which ixrzplies that there would be
no future location for tall communications towers that might affect airport airspace. There are,
however, several large parcels that may be redeveloped. Also, it isn't clear if communications '
towers might be a pertnitted use in such areas, or if it would be a conditional use. .

The plan should clarify if there is a local ordinance to control potential tall structures or a
policy zndicating that the MnDOT will be noti�ed if such proposals come before the city for
action.
Land Use (Greg Pates, 65l -602-1410)
• The implementation element of the city plan indicates that the city has .Annual City Budget
and Long Term Financial Plan, and Parlc Dedication Capital Purchase Plan tools and
programs. However, the plan does not include a capital improvement program (CIP). The
plan should include a CIP, and we can provide examples and guidance if desired.
Natural and Water Resources (James Larsen, 651-602-1159)
The document states on page 42 that the Rice Creek Watershed Distxict (RCWD) adopted an
overall plan in 1994. The city is also currently preparing a local surface water plan as an element
of the overall comprehensive plan. In order to complete our review please address the following:
• Revise page 42 to indicate that the RCWD's last update of its overall plan to meet the Board
of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) `second generation' plan cziteria, was approved by the
BWSR in Septerr�ber of 1997, and adopted by the RCWD board in October of 1997.
• Submit for our review the updated local surface water management plan.
Wastewater Systems/Sewers (Donald Bluhm 651-602-1116)
The following information is needed to allow the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services
(MCES) to coxnplete our review:
The sewer map showing the existing sanitary sewer systezn for the city should be upgraded to
show vacant lots and parcels currently not sewered with a general indication as to when the
area may develop. The map should show service areas (sewersheds) for each connection
point to a metropolitan interceptor as well as those axeas of the city that receive sanitary
sewer service from an adjoining community. Copies of all intercommunity flow agreements
should be submitted.
� The plarz needs to project flows for the entire city and for each connection point to the
interceptor system by 10-year increments through 2020. This information is again needed for
two reasons, first, to allow the MCES to program and size needed improvernents to the
interceptor system serving the city and second, if an emergency arises, to be able to estimate
the needed pumping rates for emergency pumping around impacted areas.
• The plan should identify local objectives, policies and strategies for preventing and reducirig
excessive UI including suinp puxnp in the local sewer system.

Natural and Water Resources (James Larsen, 651-602-1159)
The document states that two residences continue to utilize ISTS in the city. The city will need to
monitor the systems and take appropriate steps should there be any indication of their failure.
Staff will consider these steps to be adequate to track the remaining two systems in the city.

Review of the Local Water Management Plan
Enclosed is the next draft of the Local Water Management Plan for your review. We have
incorporated the comments that you provided at our last meeting. These included:
✓ A more detailed description of each watershed
✓ Description of the Mujor Watersheds (names)
✓ Future land use consistent with the Compreliensive Plan
✓ Corrected teYrreinology for the hzghway system (used the same as in the Comprehensive Plan)
✓ Correction of grammar errors (we hope).
The plan that you have to review also includes all the appendices that will be in the final plan.
This allows you to provide a complete review of the document. This is your City's document not
ours and thus it is important that you complete a review that will supply us with insight into your
planning requirennents that can only be provided by the citizens of Mounds View. Therefore to
help provide a working docunnent, we need your review to provide us with:
✓ Comments on ter�ninology that yoac do not understand.
✓ Correction to inforrreation that you feel is misstated.
✓ Missing information that would be Izelpful to the City.
✓ Items that you feel Rice Creek Watersher� District will not be able to provide.
✓ Any other items that you feel should be addressed or corrected in the plan.
Please nnalce all your comments in your copy of the plan and return to us. This will make our job
easier as we incorporate your thoughts into the final draft that will be provided to the City
Council. The final draft will be reviewed at the July 17 council worlc session. Formal public
input and hopefully approval to send the plan out for agency review will occur at. the July 24
council rneeting. Again thanlc you for you efforts in helping us provide the City with a plan that
is a benefit to the City.

City of Mounds View
Planning Comrnission Report
Meeting Date: July S, 2000
Titlea PUBLIC HEARING AND DISCUSSION REGAR.DING A PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT FOR A WALGREENS DRUGSTORE AND
CULVERS RESTAURANT AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF
HIGHWAY 10 AND EDGEWOOD DRIVE
Planning Case: ZC00-002
Applicant: Bob Cunningham, Representing TOLD Development Company
Background:
Bob Cunningham, representing TOLD Development Company, is requesting approval of a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) to construct a Walgreens Drugstore and Culver's Restaurant
at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and Edgewood Drive on properiy commonly referred to as
the City's "remnant parcel." Mr. Cunningham is proposing to swap approximately 8 acres of the
Midland Videen site for the remnant parcel, which is approximately 1 acre. It is proposed that
the stormwater pond on the remnant parcel would be relocated to high ground within the 8 acre
Midland Videen site.
Approximately 3.2 of the 8 acres to be received by the City are upland and potentially
developable. The remaining acreage is wetland, as delineated by the City's engineer, SEH.
Within the upland area, it would be proposed that the City's stormwater pond would be relocated
and resized to accommodate more runoff and to help reduce potential flooding that may occur
downstream south of Highway 10. In addition to the relocated stormwater pond, the pond
adjacent to the Community Center could be expanded to provide more of a community surface
water management benefit. The 8 acres would be utilized as passive outdoor open space,
preserving and enhancing the natural and scenic value of this wetland as well as to preserve the
wildlife habitat and to improve the City's surface water management system.
In order for the Walgreens PUD to proceed, the site would need to be replatted to create the two
development parcels. In so doing, the Community Center would become one parcel, as would
the City Hall / Public Works land. The wetlands would be platted as an outlot. In conjunction
with the replatting, the right of ways for Edgewood Drive and Bronson Drive would be
dedicated. In addition, the right of way for the original Edgewood Drive would be vacated and
any utility easements vacated or relocated as needed.
This request was iirst brought to the Planning Commission on June 7, 2000, during which
meeting significant time was spent discussing the various aspects of this development proposal.
Because the applicant has chosen to combine the general concept and development review stages
of the PUD process, the Planning Commission requested additional information regarding the

development, such as economic benefits, traffic impacts, trailway/sidewalk integration,
coordinated landscaping and more detailed site plans. It was noted at the meeting that a
photometric analysis would be needed, as would a copy of the preliminary plat and drainage and
utility plan.
Update:
Site Plan: The reduced-scale site plan provided to the Commission has been updated with regard
to the addition of lot dimensions and applicable site measurements. Not shown on the copy
provided to the Planning Commission are the locations of the trailways and sidewalks. The
applicant will present a full-size site plan at the meeting which will show the inclusion of the
pedestrian ways.
Draina�e: The applicant will present the draft utility plan for the Commission's review. The
City's engineer, SEH, Tnc., has reviewed the draft plan and has been in close contact with Sigma,
the applicant's engineer, to work out the minor details to create a drainage plan acceptable to all
parties. Rice Creek has reviewed the drainage plans and has verbally consented to the concept of
the expanded stormwater holding pond and the minimal disruption its construction would cause.
Preliminarv Plat: The applicant will have on hand a large-scale version of the preliminary plat
for the Commission to review. The plat has been named "City Hall Addition."
Parkin�: The site plan indicates the availability of 43 parking stalls for Culver's and 103 spaces
for the Walgreens for a combined total of 146 spaces. Staff was not able to determine if the
proposed stalls meet Code requirements as the internal breakdown of square footages (retail floor
area vs. storage areas and dining areas vs. kitchen areas) were unavailable. Staff plans to present
this information verbally at the Planning Commission meeting after consulting with the
applicant.
Signa� Staff would recommend that the Planning Commission require as part of its
recommendation to the Council that the signage provided for either use (Walgreens and Culver's)
be of a monument design in keeping with the character of the other signs in the immediate area.
Staff has asked the applicant to produce a full-color rendition of a monument sign for the
Commission to review.
Wetland Buffer: Given the anticipated regional and site-specific benefits of the expanded
stormwater holding pond on the upland area of the Midland Videen parcel, staff would
recommend that a wetland buffer permit be issued in conjunction with the development review to
allow for the building, utility, and trailway improvements as proposed.
Landscapin� As stated at the June 7, 2000, Planning Commission meeting, there is very little
existing landscaping and tree-cover in the area to be developed. There are a few trees along the
Highway 10 right of way that would remain undisturbed with the construction. Staff would
recommend that a stipulation requiring the retention of these trees be incorporated into the
Planning Commission's resolution. The applicant has delayed putting forward a iinal landscape

plan until the final grading and drainage plans have been accepted and agreed to by the City
Engineer.
Li htin�: The applicant has submitted a photometric analysis of the site, however the submitted
plan is of a small scale and is difficult to read. Staff has requested that the applicant provide a
full-sized version for the Planning Commission's review and consideration. Staff has not had an
opportunity to discuss lighting fixture with either the applicant of the director of public works.
Access & Trailwa� The applicant maintains that access from Highway 10 is critical to success
of the Walgreens and Culver's development. Walgreens, we have been informed, approved the
location based on the access from Highway 10. Staff will be meeting with Dam Soler, Ramsey
County Traffic Engineer, Wednesday, July 5, prior to the Planning Commission meeting to
review the access issue as well as trailway issues as they relate to the Highway 10 corridor. Staff
will report back to the Planning Commission verbally as to what was discussed.
The proposed trailway through the Midland Videen property would not encircle the wetland as
was originally planned due to the issue of wetland encroachment and mitigation. The path would
instead be located between the proposed stormwater pond and the existing wetland so as to
maintain the greatest distance from the homes on St. Stephen Street. The path would connect
with the anticipated trail along Highway 10 with the Community Center site. The developer will
present a site plan clearly showing the proposed locations of the trailways and sidewalks as
discussed.
Si�ge Easements: Staff has learned that the sign easement area adjacent to the abandoned
Edgewood Drive right of way is controlled by the City of Mounds View, acquired in conjunction
with the purchase of the Bel Rae Ballroom. It is anticipated that this easement area would be
vacated. The applicant has indicated there to be a desire on the part of Culver's to utilize part of
the existing easement area for signage. If this is to be done, it would need to be accomplished by
means of a new easement area, outside of the platting process.
Appraisal: Because of the proposed land swap and major subdivision, staff has arranged to have
a commercial appraisal done for both the City's remnant parcel and the 8 acres of Midland
Videen land to gain a better sense of the relative value of both parcels. In addition, the appraisal
would be used as the basis for any park dedication payments required of the applicant in
conjunction with the major subdivision.
Public Hearing Notices: It was discussed at the last Planning Commission meeting that residents
of multi-family complexes do not receive sufficient notification of public meetings such as the
one being held on July 5, 2000. As a result, staff arranged to re-notice the meeting, including in
the mail-out the residents living in complexes such as Greenfield Estates and Landmark Estates.
This increased the number of notices mailed from 102 to 360. The cost of the additional notices
was estimated to be $161.43. Staff will discuss with the City Council at a future worksession
meeting the legal notification obligations versus the additional cost of notifying individual multi-
family dwelling units. Staff will keep the Commission informed as to any decisions regarding
our notification policy.

Because no action is being proposed at this meeting, staff is once again seeking input from the
Planning Commission as to those remaining issues identified as being either deficient or needing
more information. Staff does however feel that the Comnnission should have enough information
to direct staff to draft a resolution for consideration at the Planning Commission's next meeting
on July 19, 2000.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: July S, 2000
Title:
DISCUSSION REGARDING ORDINANCE 664, AN ORDINANCE AIv�ND1NG CHAPTER
1106 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW ZONING CODE PERTAINING TO PERMITTED AND
CONDITIONALLY PERMITTED ACCESSORY BUILDINGS.
Introduction:
Staff has been directed to work with the Planning Commission to draft language revising the Zoning
Code regarding sheds and accessory structures. The Planning Commission initiated discussion on
this issue on June 7, 2000, and continued discussion on June 21, 2000. Based on the input and
comments generated at these two meetings, staff drafted Ordinance 664, which amends Chapter
1106 of the Zoning Code pertaining to accessory buildings.
Discussion:
The most substantive changes contemplated by this proposed ordinance are as follows:
• All property owners are allotted 1,400 square feet of accessory building space subject to the
20% maximum rear yard coverage ratio.
• All properties allowed a 952 square foot garage, regardless of footprint of home.
� Three accessory buildings are allowed instead of two.
� Limit of one garage eliminated.
•"Size of accessory building not to exceed footprint of house" requirement eliminated
altogether.
� Distinction between garage and shed eliminated—simply referred to as accessory buildings.
There are other changes contemplated by this ordinance, some of which are minor and
"housekeeping" in nature, while other changes simply clarify the Code and address "setback" issues
which, up to this point, the Code has been silent on.
If desired, staff will identify every change considered by this ordinance.

Original Text
Some redevelopment is anticipated in Mounds View, along the County Highway 10
corridor. Most of the development in the City has incorporated storm sewer and drainage
ditches in the drainage pattern. The City realizes the importance of managing runoff to
neighboring communities. A summary of the discharge rates to neighboring communities
is also provided in Section 2. Flood levels, peak discharges and storage volumes for the
drainage basins for 100—year storm events are also provided in the Plan.
Renised Text
There are a few undeveloped pa�•cels r•enraining in the City and therefo��e the primary
issue, as it t•elates to zmpacts on this plan, will be redevelopment of existing land uses.
Areas of redevelopn�ent have been alr�eady been identified alofzg the County Highway 10
CO7"Y1C�OY IYl �77'BVIOZIS stuc�ies and other land uses, while not formally identified, are
antrcipated to be altered as economic ar7d social changes drive ��edevelopnzent in areas
th�°oughout the City. Most of the developnzent in the City has incorporated sto�•m sewer
and drainage ditches in the drainage patterns, which may need to be reevaluated based
on future changes. The City also realizes the importance of managing runvff to
neighbot•ing communities and has adopted requi��ements that are consistent with
watef•shed r�egulations to prevent any confZicts. A summa�y of the discharge rates to
neighboring communities is provided in Section 2. Flood levels, peak discharges and
storage volumes.fo�� the di•ainage basins for 100 year� storm events are also prorided in
the Plan.
Background — Page 3
Original Text
Land development in Mounds View is nearly complete, with only a few parcels
remaining to be improved. Most of these areas are along the Highway 10 corridor.
Residential uses constitute the majority of land use within the City. A small portion of the
City is commercial/business and industrial. Since the City of Mounds View is nearly
completely developed, the population has stabilized and should remain relatively stable.
Revised Text
Land development of open parcels in Mounds View is nearly complete. Most of these areas are
along the Highway 10 corridor. With most of the open areas developed, the focus of local plan
will be on issues related to redevelopment of existing land uses. When less dense (i.e. large
residential lots) t-edevelop to more dense housing or commercial or business use, there is an
impact on the drainage systerns and lhus impacts will need to be add�•ess as part of the planning
process. However, this planning pj�ocess will need to be flexible so it can deal with both large and
small (i. e. lot splits). land use changes.
Even wi[h future larrd use changes, residential uses constitute the majoriry of land use within the
City. A small por�tiorr of the City is commercial/business and inclustrial. Even with these
redevelopment issues the Ciry ofMounds View will remain nearly completely developed, and thus
the population has stabilized and ,rhould remain relatively stable.

Mounds View is almost completely developed to its highest and best use. The majority of
the City of Mounds View is residential land use, with a few parcels being developed as
commercial/business, or industrial use. Only a few small parcels remain undeveloped.
Most of these undeveloped parcels are small parcels in residential areas. Very little
change in land use is expected. The existing land use is shown in Figure 8. Figure 9
shows the land that can be redeveloped either by large parcels being split or small
residential parcels being developed. The future land use is shown in Figure 10.

Midland Videen site.
Update:
Site Plan Issues: The applicant has submitted for the Planning Commission's consideration a
complete set of revised plans, date-stamped July 14, 2000, which include the Site Plan,
Preliminary Landscape, Freliminary Plat, Grading & Drainage Plan and a Utility Plan with
specifications and details. Missing are the elevations, photometric analysis and signage plans, all
of which the Commission has previously reviewed.
Trailwa� The site plan now shows the general locations of the proposed trailways. They are
noted as being 5 feet in width. The City requires a minimum 7-foot wide path so that public
works staii can maintain them in the winter without disturbing the surrounding sod and
landscaping. Staff has suggested that the trail be extended south to connect with St. Stephen
Street.
Setbacks: The parlcing lots for both uses are setback a minimum five feet from the Edgewood
drive and Highway 10 right of ways. While the current zoning would require a minimum 30-foot
parking lot setback, the proposed PUD designation would allow for the reduced setback.
Draina�e: The drainage plans submitted by the applicant are the result of a collaboration between
the applicant's engineer, 5igma, and the City's engineer, SEH. These plans have been forwarded

to Rice Creek Watershed District for their review as well. Given the depth of the pond and the
close proximity of the bituminous trailway, it would seem prudent that the specifications include a
safety shelf below the expected ordinary high water level (OHWL) to protect against accidental
submersions. The cost estimate to relocate and construct the new pond is $174,000.
Preliminary Plat: The plat has been named "Mounds View City Hall Addition." City Hall and
Public Works will be combined into one lot described as Lot 1, Block 1. The Community Center
parcels would become Lot 1, Block 2, and would include the 66-foot strip to the east. The
Walgreens would be Lot 3, Block 2 and the restaurant use lot 2, Block 2. The wetlands and
upland area on which the stormwater pond would be located would be labeled "Outlot A". The
sign easement area shown on the preliminary plat (Doc. # 1072932) will be vacated, as will the
gray-shaded Edgewood drive right of way. While the preliminary plat appears to be in proper
form, it has been sent on to the City attorney for review.
Parkin : The site plan indicates the availability of 43 parking stalls for Culver's and 103 spaces
for the Walgreens for a combined total of 146 spaces. Estimating the internal breakdown of �
square footages for each use (retail floor area vs, storage areas and dining areas vs. kitchen areas),
it appears as though the code would require only 112 spaces. Staffwill work with the developer
to determine if the number of stalls provided can be reduced. Staff would also recommend that
the notation on the site plan showing 10 future parking stalls within the wetland to be eliminated.
Si na e: Staff has communicated the Planning Commission's desire to the applicant that the
signage provided for either use (Walgreens and Culver's) be of a monument design in keeping
with the character of the other signs in the immediate area. Staff has asked the applicant to
produce a full-color rendition of a brick-based monument sign for the Commission to review.
Landscapin�: The Landscape Plan submitted by the applicant indicates the number, types and
locations of the proposed plantings to be used on the site. Staffhas forwarded to the developer
the Theater's planting schedule and requested that there be an attempt to match the plantings
from that development and the adjoining Community Center. Rick Wriskey, the City's forester,
will review the landscape plan and will make suggested changes based on the success ratio of
other plantings used in the area. In addition, boulevard trees will be a suggested component of
the landscape plan. The plan will need to show the preservation of the e�cisting boulevard trees
along Highway 10,
Li�htin�: The applicant has submitted a photometric analysis of the site which the Planning
Commission reviewed at a previous meeting. That analysis satisfied the City's code requirements.
Based on feedback from the Director of Public Works and NSP, Staff has forwarded to the
developer two examples of lighting that the City would like to incorporate into this area of
Mounds View. The shoebox styled lights would be appropriate for the parking lot lighting, while
the more decorative lighting would be appropriate along Edgewood Drive and the bituminous
trailway fronting Highway 10. In return for the City installing the lights on Edgewood Drive, the
applicant shall be responsible for lighting the path along Highway 10. Instead of the four shoebox
styled lights indicated along the trailway, the site plan shall be revised to show two decorative
lights between Edgewood Drive and the Highway 10 access, and three additional decorative lights
along the trailway south of the Highway 10 access, spaced 200 feet apart.

Appraisal: This issue was verbally addressed at the Planning Commission's last meeting, at which
time a one-page summary was provided that indicates the appraised value of both the City's
remnant parcel and that part of the Midland Videen land the City would receive. To summarize
those results, the remnant parcel was appraised at $166,000 based on existing conditions
($200,000 without the pond) while the Midland Videen land was appraised at $161,000.
Recommendation:
If the Planning Commission is satisfied with this PUD proposal, both in terms of the anticipated
uses and overall site design as well as the overarching land use implications and transfer of land,
staff would recommend approval of Resolution 623-00, a resolution recoinmending to the City
Council approval (with stipulations) of this planned unit development, major subdivision and land
transfer proposed by TOLD Development Company.

WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission designates the parcels associated with the PUD as CC-PUD, Community
Commercial Planned Unit Development; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held public hearings relative to this request on
June 7, 2000 and July 5, 2000; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following iindings regarding the
criteria for a PUD zoning designation as identified in Section 1125.01 Subd. l.e. of the
Mounds View Municipal Code:
(1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan recommended for approval by the Planning Commission defines a
Community Commercial use as a"Land use principally engaged in the provision of goods or services
with a primary service to the con-ununity." Examples of such uses would include retail and service-
oriented businesses sucl� as baril:s, drug stores, restaurants, veterinary clinics or day care centers.
(2) The geographical area involved.
(3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
(4) The character of the surrounding area.
The surrounding area is dominated by municipal activities, such as City Hall, the Community Center
and the Public Works building; commercial activities, such as Wynnsong Theatre and Donatelle's
Supper Club; and natural open space areas. Separated by an expanse of open space to the east is a
single-family home subdivision. Given d�e separation of distance, it is not expected that the single-
family homes would be depreciated or impacled in any way. The general area in recent years has
become the heart of Mounds View with the development of the 15-screen movie theatre and
construction of the Corrununity Center. It is believed that a Walgreens and proposed restaurant
development would be consistent with and complementary to the immediate area.
(5) The demonstrated need for the use.
The applicant's client feels strongly, given Mounds View's existing and anticipated demographical
composition, that this area would be an appropriate and successful location for a neighborhood-
oriented Walgreens. Regarding the proposed restaurant, previous market research and resident
surveys have indicated a strong support and desire for additional non-fast food restaurant choices.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission iinds that this proposal satisfies the purpose and
intent of a PUD as stated in Section 1120.01 of the Mounds View Municipal Code in that the
proposal contemplates the overall development of these properties and provides for an
appropriate mix of complementary uses adding to the vitality of the City Center; and,
WHEREAS, requirements would be included to ensure high quality architectural design
and coordinated signage, preservation of the wetlands, and consideration given to preserving
existing tree cover outside of development areas wherever possible; and,

Item # 7
City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: July 19, 2000
Title: PUBLIC HEARING, DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF
RESOLUTION 626-00, A RESOLUTION RECOMIv1ENDING
APPROVAL OF A GENERAL CONCEPT PLAN FOR A HOTEL AND
BANQUET CENTER A.DDITION TO THE MERMAID
ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX, 2200 HIGHWAY 10.
Planning Case: ZC00-003
Applacant: Dan Hall, Representing Mermaid, Inc.
Introrluction:
Dan Hall, representing The Mermaid, is requesting City approval of a general concept plan to
construct a 97-room hotel and a 500-seat banquet center to be attached to and integrated with the
existing complex.
The general concept plan is the first stage of a planned unit development (PUD) process. The
advantage to this stage is that the developer is allowed to bring forth a general site plan for City
review and consideration without the need to have all of the other components prepared. If the
City approves the concept plan, the developer would then prepare the balance of the submittal
(landscaping, detailed site plans, drainage, signage, elevations, photometric analysis, etc.) for city
consideration, which is referred to as the development stage of the PUD. Both stages (concept
and development stages) require a public hearing. The final stage of the PUD is the administrative
approval. A public hearing notice was published in the newspaper and notices mailed to all
property owners within 350 feet ofthe subject properties for this meeting. In addition to the
PUD, the applicant has also applied for a major subdivision, which would combine all of the
subject properties into one platted parcel (presumably, Lot 1, Block 1, Mermaid Addition.)
Action on the major subdivision will not be contemplated at this meeting.
Background:
The concept of a hotel development and banquet center at the Mermaid is not a new one. The
owners of the Mermaid have for six years or more contemplated this type of expansion,
investigated potential partners and franchise opportunities. Throughout this time, there have been
informal discussions with previous Councils and Planning Commissions regarding the potential for
this type of expansion. To staf�s knowledge, the concept has always been considered in a
favorable light.
Mr. Hall has applied for tax increment financing on the project, and on June 5, 2000, the City
Council directed staff to work with the Mermaid to finalize the finance package.

GeneraC Concept Plan Review:
The Planning Commission has been provided with a set of plans date-stamped June 30, 2000
for the proposed expansion. They include an existing condition plan, an existing condition
topographic survey, a proposed conditions site plan and a proposed condition site plan
encompassing both the project area as well as the Mounds View Business Park South
development.
The total area of the proposed PUD is 11 acres, which includes the three existing Mermaid
Parcels, the Rent-All parcel, the Perkins Parcel, Music Off 10 and the dry holding pond associated
with the business park development. (The minimum requirement for a commercial PUD is 5
acres.) The existing business park access drive from County Road H would be shifted to the west
to maximize the contiguous parking area for the proposed development.
The hotel is planned to be a four story, 96-unit AmericInn. Attached to the hotel would be a
"water park" which would offer in addition to the pool and waterslide, hot tub and sauna, a
spacious lounge area (the "plaza"). Attached to the hotel and the existing Mermaid facilities
would be the 14,714 square foot banquet center, which would provide seating for as many as 500
people.
Dimensional Reguiremer�ts:
Parlcin�: Page AS2 of the submitted plans indicate the proposed and anticipated configuration of
the development. As shown on this plan, a total of 977 parking stalls would be required with the
addition of the hotel and the banquet center. The plans indicate that a total of 961 spaces can be
provided on the site, but only if the parking lot setbacks are reduced from the B-3 zoning district-
required 30 feet to five feet along Highway 10 and at one point along County Road H, one foot.
Such a reduction in the setback requirement is allowed via the PUD process, which explicitly
states that a purpose and intent of the PUD is to allow for variation from the provisions of the
Zoning Code, including setbacks, parking, height, lot area, etc.
Parking lot setback: As mentioned above, the setback of the parking lot can be reduced via the
PUD process. Approaching this in the strictest sense, if the setbacks requirements were to be
enforced without deviation, as many as 175 parking stalls would be lost. The net effect of such a
loss would mean either the banquet center would be reduced in size and capacity by 50 percent or
more, or the hotel would need to be completely eliminated. Neither scenario would be feasible
based upon the already submitted cost and earnings projections. It does appear possible,
however, that the proposed one-foot setback along County Road H could be increased to five feet
with minimal impact to the number of parking spaces or design of the building.
Building setbacks: The Building setbacks are different from point to point, but generally
speaking, the bowling area would remain unchanged at a minimum setback of 60 feet, the dining
and bar area would be more than 200 feet, the hotel addition would be a minimum 100 feet, while
the banquet center would be setback only 35 feet. All of these setbacks satisfy the curreni B-3
zoning requirements.

Development Review Issues:
Buildin� Desi r�r.�
The proposed hotel expansion would be professionally designed and aesthetically pleasing and
would tie in to the existing facility. It could be suggested that the existing facility be renovated to
match the new construction.
SiQna e:
The applicant plans to retain the multi-colored electronic sign along Highway 10 and proposes
three additional signs along County Road H. The additional signage is indicated to be of a
monument design, which should be encouraged over a pylon type of sign.
The applicant has indicated that the corner of the property adjacent to Highway 10 and County
Road H would be reserved for the City to install a gateway entry sign.
Landscaping:
A landscape plan will be submitted in conjunction with the development stage of the PUD.
Lightin�:
A photometric analysis would be submitted in conjunction with the development stage of the
PUD. Staff has forwarded to the applicant the same lighting proposed for use on the Walgreens
development. A copy of the proposed ornamental lighting is attached for the Commission's
review.
Access:
The proposed site plan indicates two Highway 10 accesses and two County Road H accesses.
While this would not represent a change from the existing configuration, the two accesses serving
the Rent-All property would be eliminated. No new accesses, other than the relocated access to
the business park, are contemplated with this proposal.
Draina�e and Zltilitv:
Staff and the City's engineer have been working closely with the applicant and Rice
Creek Watershed Dish�ict to create a regional stormwater holding pond that would be
located partly on the Meho Waste Control property and partly on Edgewood Middle
School property. While the final drainage plans and use agreements are still being
drafted, all indications are that all paities--including Rice Creek Watershed District--will
approve the stoimwater project. The benefits of this proposed stormwater pond are
unmense, in that stormwater iunoff fi•om the Mermaid site currently drains untreated
directly into Rice Creek.

Ti�ail.wc�vs:
To comply with the proposed Comprehensive Plan and the Mounds View Trails and Sidewalk
Plan, it has been suggested that the applicant be responsible for installing a bituminous trailway
along its Highway 10 property frontage. As with the discussion concerning Walgreens, Dan Soler
with Ramsey County has verbally indicated that the trailway could be located within the Highway
10 right of way. It has also been suggested that the School District would be interested in having
the existing trail around its wetland improved, which could be done in conjunction with the
stormwater pond improvement.
Major Subdivision:
In conjunction with the PUD, the applicant has also made application for a major subdivision,
which, among other things, wili combine all of the associated project parcels (Perkins, Rent-All,
Music OffTen, etc.) into one platted lot. This action is required due to the subdivision of a parcel
owned by the business park (dry holding pond and driveway).
Recommendation:
If the Planning Commission is satisfied and accepting of the general concept plan regarding the
proposed Mermaid Hotel and Banquet Center additions, staff would recommend approval of
Resolution 626-00; a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of the general concept
plan, subject to any stipulations.

City of Mounds Vie�v
Planning Com�nission Report
Meeting Date: July 19, 2000
Title:
C�NSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 624-00, A RESOLUTION RECOMI��NDING
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE 664, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 1106 OF THE
MOUNDS VIEW ZONING CODE PERTAINING TO PERMITTED AND CONDITIONALLY
PERMITTED ACCESSORY BUILDINGS.
Introduction:
Staff has been directed to work with the Planning Commission to draft language revising the Zoning
Code regarding sheds and accessory structures. The Planning Commission initiated discussion on
this issue on June 7, 2000, and continued discussion on June 21, 2000. Based on the input and
comments generated at these two meetings, staff drafted Ordinance 664, which amends Chapter
1106 of the Zoning Code pertaining to accessory buildings. The ordinance was reviewed by the
Planning Commission on July 5, 2000, and direction was given to staff to draft a resolution
recommending to the City Council adoption of the ordinance.
Discussion:
The only changes made to the proposed ordinance that was reviewed by the Planning Commission
on July 5, 2000, were to underline the added text in subdivision la on Page 2 and to re-letter the
subsequent subparts of that same subdivision.
While much discussion occurred regarding this, no changes were made regarding the confusing
signage subdivision within the home occupation section of the Code. Because Ordinance 664
contemplates accessory buildings, such a change would not be germane to the rest of the ordinance.
It was decided that any changes to that particular subdivision would come about as a result of the
impending and long-overdue revision to the City's sign code.
Summary of Changes:
Once again, the most substantive changes contemplated by this proposed ordinance are as follows:
All property owners are allotted 1,400 square feet of accessory building space subject to the
20% maximum rear yard coverage ratio.
• All properties allowed a 952 square foot garage, regardless of footprint of home.

Report #4 on Sheds

• Three accessory buildings are allowed instead of two.
• Limit of one garage eliminated.
•"Size of accessory building not to exceed footprint of house" requirement eliminated
altogether.
• Distinction between garage and shed eliminated—simply referred to as accessory buildings.
• Accessory buildings shall be constructed with a weather-resistant siding material and shall not
be constructed with canvas or tubular metal.
Recommendation:
Approve Planning Commission Resolution 624-00, a resolution recommending adoption of
Ordinance 664, an ordinance amending Chapter 1106 of the Mounds View Zoning Code pertaining
to permitted and conditionally permitted accessory buildings.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: July 19, 2000
Title:
DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE 663, AN ORDINANCE
CREATING LANGUAGE TO A.DMINISTER AND REGULATE TATTOO AND BODY
PIERCING ESTABLIS�-IlVIENTS
Introduction:
As the Planning Commission is aware, the Mounds View Municipal Code does not at this time
address tattoo or body piercing establishments. In order to adequately research this issue, the
City Council adopted interim Ordinance 653 on February 14, Z000, which prohibits any tattoo
shops of body piercing establishments to be located in the City for a period of six months. The six
month period will expire on August 14, 2000.
Dascussion:
With the assistance of tlle city attorney, staff has drafted an ordinance which creates licensing
provisions and zoning allowances for such uses. Staff would request the Planning Commission
review the entirety of the ordinance paying especially close attention to those provisions
concerning the Zoning Code.
The ordinance is drafted to allow such uses in the B-2, B-3 and B-4 business zaning districts.
They would be allowed unconditionally (i.e., no conditional use permit would be required) so long
as three specific requirements are satisfied:
, a. Any such establishment shall not be located closer than 500 feet from an educational
facility, place of worship and shall be separated by no less than 1,000 feet from any other
such establishment located within the City of Mounds View, as measured from the
property lines of the property upon which the uses are located.
b. The minimum floor space for such use shall be 250 square feet
c. The establishment and operators shall be licensed and be in compliance with Chapter
515 of the Municipal Code.
Staffis also including a memo received from Robert Vose in the city attorney's office regarding
tattoo and piercing establishments which the Planning Commission can review for additional
background information.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Jim Ericson
FROM: Bob Vose
DATE: July 13, 2000
RE: Proposed TattooBody Piercing Ordinance; Ordinance 663
Jim: you have asked several questions relative to the City's proposed tattoo/body piercing
ordinance. This is responsive to those questions.
Please note that this response is based on our experience and/or review of other cities'
ordinances but does not reflect extensive legal research on the issues raised. Should you want a
more detailed analysis please let me know.
References in the example ordinance are to the Richfield public safety department. Such
references in the Richfield ordinance allow for deviations from the ordinance requirements
where approved by the department of public safety. Because Mounds View does not have an
equivalent agency that is well equipped to address this kind of public health and sanitation
issue, we suggest striking the references and eliminating the administrative discretion. For
example, Section 515.11, Subd. 1(c) could be modified as follows:
��e� Sterilizin� solutions and methods � shall be used for the purpose of
sterilizing instruments other than needles and razor blades. �x"�°„ �„�'� �+°r:';�:�rt
Please let me know if you would like assistance with additional modifications.
2. You ask whether the ordinance may exempt jewelry stores that do limited piercing? You
have proposed language exempting "jewelry stores" that provide "facial piercing."
Presumably, the basis for this exemption is that: 1) such stores are likely established and
better funded, managed, etc. than some small tattoo/body piercing shops; and, 2) experience
shows that the risks associated with pierced ears is small compared with other kinds of body
piercing activities.
Generally, we believe this kind of exemption is permissible but recommend that you better
define the scope. Rather than exempting all facial piercing- lips, nose, tongue, eye brows-
which may raise more significant risks of infection or injury, the ordinance could exempt
only ear piercing. In addition, you may want to better define "jewelry stores." Consider
adding the following:
For purposes of this ordinance, a jewelry store shall mean a retail business that derives a
majority of its revenue from the sale of jewelry and that derives less than one percent of
its revenues from ear piercing services.
3. Section 515.11, Subd. 1(g)- Can the City require tattoo/body piercing patrons to Iceep private
parts covered? As we discussed, the City likely can impose this limitation. As drafted the
provision does mot prohibit tattooing or piercing of such body parts but rather requires that
�
. _ .. , �: i r
� ` _ _ . � _- - -_ �- -- ------- - -- r
�___ �.-. �.�;.__ ., _ . �:.
-' -- -�•-
�
they remain covered. This mitigates the potential for a claim that the restriction
impermissibly limits freedom of expression- tattooing or piercing of certain body parts.
However, it may be dangerous to tattoo or pierce a body part that remains covered. After the
first sentence, consider adding:
The specialist may lift the covering to expose the person's breasts, buttocks, anus or
genitals to the limited extent necessary to perform the tattooing or body piercing
requested. The specialist shall ensure that the exposed body part may not be viewed by
any other person.
Alternatively, if the goal is to prohibit tattooing or piercing of those parts, the provision
should explicitly so state. However, we are not aware of health information indicating that
such tattooing or piercing is an unhealthy practice and there is little evidence that
inappropriate sexual contact is prevalent at tattoo/body piercing shops. As drafted, the
ordinance does not contain such findings. Such findings would need to be added and
evidence supporting such findings would need to be located.
Finally, you ask whether the City should prohibit certain kinds of contact between patrons
and service providers. We have not located this type of restriction in other cities' ordinances.
In addition, we are not aware of evidence supporting a need for this restriction.
4. Zoning- Several cities specifically identify this type of business for zoning purposes; i.e.
restrict to certain zoning districts. We have not, however, located specific CUP standards for
such businesses.
Please let me know if we can be of further assistance.

business of tattooing, body piercing, body branding, body scarring or body painting in order to protect
the health and welfare of the general public. The city council finds that the experience of other cities
indicates that there is a connection between tattooing and hepatitis and other health problems. The city
council finds that stringent regulations governing tattooing can minimize the hepatitis and disease risk
and therefore protect the general health and welfare of the community.

City of Mounds Vie�v
Planning Co�nmission Report
Meeting Date: July 19, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 625-00, A RESOLUTION RECOI��IMENDING
ADOPTION OF OR.DINANCE 658, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 1103 OF THE
MOUNDS VIEW ZONING CODE PERTAINING TO FENCES AND FENCE HEIGHTS.
Introduction:
The drafting of Ordinance 658 resulted from a series of discussions held by both the Planning
Commission and City Council earlier this year regarding a property owner's variance request for a
tall fence in her front yard. The request, as the Commission may recall, was denied due to a
perceived lack of property-related hardship. The City Council ultimately overturned the Planning
Commission's decision, citing the documented harassment a police activity next door as the
governing hardship. Through this process, it became apparent that there should be a provision placed
in the Code that would allow for some flexibility in dealing with unusual situations that would not
normally be considered "hardships".
Discussioia:
The proposed ordinance contemplates the addition of one sentence of text to Section 1103.08,
Subdivision 3a., which states:
"The Citv Councrl naav require or anproi�e fencing up ta ninetv six inches �96 ") in height in a, front
vard to satisfv a buffer of� screenrn� cortdition of a developn�enl review or conditional use �ef mit "
The addition of this language would have the effect of allowing for taller than normal fences (up to
8') if required by the City Council or requested by the applicant for buffering or screening purposes
Recommendataon:
If the Commission is comfortable with this language, staff would recommend approval of Planning
Commission Resolution 625-00, a resolution recommending adoption of Ordinance 658, an
ordinance amending Chapter 1103 of the Mounds View Zoning Code pertaining to fences and fence
heights.

Title: DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 627-00, A
RESOLUTION OF THE MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION
CONCERNING THE MOUNDS VIEW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AND TAX
INCREMENT FINANCTNG PROPOSALS
Lzt�•oduction:
Dan Hall, representing The Mennaid, is requesting the use of tax increment financing to
construct a 97-room hotel and a 500-seat banquet center to be attached to and integrated with the
existing complex.
Backgrousid:
As a component of the Mermaid redevelopment, the use of tax increment financing has been
requested. In accordance with the Economic Development Authority's Tax Increment Finance
Policy, the applicant has submitted an application requesting TIF assistance. This application
was considered at the May 25th meeting of the Economic Development Commission where a
recommendation was made to the Economic Development Authority to give preliminary
approval to the application.
At the June Sth Council Work Session, staff was instructed to prepare and negotiate the
appropriate documents for consideration by the EDA at a later date. One of the documents
necessary when using tax increment financing is a`TIF Plan." As part the process of amending
TIF Plans, it is required that the Planning Commission review the plans to determine their
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. On a general level, TIF' Plans serve to
broadly articulate goals and objectives for the TIF district. The TIF Plan also includes a budget
for the expenditure of TIF funds generated as a result of the project. A copy of the TlF Plan
modification has been included for your review as Attachment #1. A resolution for the
Commission's consideration has also been included as Attachment #2.
Recom�zendation:
Consider adopting Resolution 627-00 Concerning the Mounds View Economic Developrnent
Authority's Economic Development Project and Tax Increment Financing Proposals

Sections 469.124 through 469.134, and the City established Tax
Increment Financing District Nos. 1, 2 and 3 within the
Development Districts pursuant to the Tax Increment Act.
Pursuant to the Enabling Act, on March 28, 1994, �he Council
adopted an enabling resolution and thereby established the EDA.
Pursuant to Section 469.094, Subdivision 2, of the Enabling Act,
the City transferred to the EDA, and the EDA accepted from the
City transfer ot, the control, authority, and operation of the
Development Districts, including the existing Tax Increment
Districts therein, thereby empowering the EDA to exercise al1 of
the powers that the City could exercise with respect to the
Development Districts, subject to the covenant an.d pledge by the
EDA �.o perform the terms, conditions, and covenants of all bond
indentures and other agreements executed for the security of any

the Develapment Districts.
The EDA recognizes and finds that, whil.e appropriate uses
and emphases may vary between various portions of the Ci.ty,
efforts to develop the City will be enhanced and their success
will depend upon a unified, consisten.t, and broad-based approach.
In particular, the Board believes that it is important to have
the flexibility to use tax increment and other resources
generated within. any of the Development Districts and the Project
as a whole for the preservation and enhancement of any and al].
portions of the entire Praject Area, al1 as may be permitted by
applicable 1aw.
Accordingly, it is the EDA's purpose, consistent with the
stated purposes of the Council, to consolidate and amplify the
City's development areas, goals, objectives, development costs,
and activities to the fullest extent permitted by the Enabling
Act, the Tax Increment Act and other applicable law, and the

Section 1.3. Previous Enlarqement and Consolidation of the
Development Districts; Designation as Mounds View Econamic
Development Pro�ect. Each of the Development Districts was as of
May 9, 1994, enlarged to include the area of each of the other
Development Districts, and said consolidated and enlarged
composite area was then designated as the Mounds View Economic
Development Project (the "Project"). This Project Area consists
of the entire City.
The Board finds that each of the Development Districts, as
so enlarged and consolidated into the Project Plan, and the
resulting Project Area, together with the goals and objectives
which the EDA seeks to accomplish or encourage with respect to
such areas, including without limi�ation �he amendments made
hereby, constitutes without limitation a"development distric�"
within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.125,
Subdivision 9, and a"redevelopment project" within the meaning
of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469�.002, Subdivision 14e
Section. 1.4. Amendment of �he Pro�ect Plan; Summary Fiscal
and Economic Implications. Each of the Development Programs has
been amended to include all of the goals, objectives, activities,
and development costs here�ofore identified in each of the other
Development Programs and in each of the Tax Increment P1ans; the
effect of the foregoing being that each of the Development
Programs and Tax Increment Plans has been amended to include the
other Development Programs and Tax Increment Plans. Said
consolidation and amendment of the Development Programs and Tax
Tncrement Plans has been designated as the Project Plan tor the
Project. It is also the Board's finding that each amendment to
any of Development Programs, the Project Plan. or the Tax
Increment Plans, including without limitation the amendments made
herein or hereafter shall constitute and be deemed to be an
amen.dment of all of the Development Programs. The Board and the
Council hereby find that each Development Program and the Project
Plan, as amended pursuant hereto, together with the composition
thereof in�o the Project P1an, constitutes and sha11 be deemed to
be a"development program" within the meaning of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 469.125, Subdivision 3, and a"redevelopment
plan" within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.002,
Subdivision 16.
The Project Plan is hereby amended to include the estimated
public improvemezzt and development costs described herein. These
costs are anticipated to be made or incurred within the Project
and finan.ced in whole or in part by �ax increment or other
a�crailable revenues of the EDA.
Certain land within the Project in the vicinity of The
Mermaid restaurant and entertainment center is expected to be
acquired, including tax parcel nos. 08-30-23-43-0005, 08-30-23-
43-0009 and 08-30-23-43-0010. This enlarged area will then be

redeveloped, including proper�y clearance, renovation of the
existing Mermaid, construction of an approximately 96 room hotel,
a 500 seat banquet tacility and a connecting atrium, and the
completion of new parlcin.g facilities, storm water improvements
and other related site work and improvements. The new budget
hereby incorporated into the Project Plan and the Tax Increment
Plans is presently estimated as follows:
Mermaid Redevelopment Project:
Land Acquisition
Demolition/Removal
Other Site Work, Including
On-site Utilities
Mermaid Rehabilitation and
Remodeling
Other Soil. Correction/Remediation
Administrative Expenses
Interest on TIF Indebtedness/
Borrowing Relating to
Costs of the Redevelopment

$4,705,819
If bonding is required to finance the applicable portions of
the foregoing costs, as is anticipated, the reasonable and
customary expenses for that bonding, such as capitalized
interest, interest on the debt, bond discount, and fiscal and
legal fees, would be added to the estimates listed above. Tax
increment bondin.g and in.debtedness may include traditional
general obligation or revenue bonding, including interest-bearing
"pay-as-you-go" financing, external general obligation bonding
and internal, interest-bearing EDA or City-financed borrowing.
Interest on borrowing is anticipated to be between 6o and 90 pe�'
annum. Ac�ual bonding amounts and requirements may vary
depending on bond issue structure and then-prevailing interest
rates.
To complete the summary of fiscal and economiC implications,
it is estimated that this projec� will generate approximately
$250,000 to $300,000 of additional tax increment, commen.cing as
early as 2003, much or all of which is expected Tonbe aleorto pay
some o� the above costs directly and/or t�heaCOS�s described
interest on indebtedness incurred to pay
above.
The EDA intends to pay from available tax increment such
qualifying administrative cos�s (including al.locable City and EDA
expenses) as may be permitted by but subject to the applicable

respect to any district shall be segregated by the authority in a
special account or accounts on its official books and records or
as otherwise established by resolution of the authority to be

bonds," the EDA will account for all increment from the Tax
Increment Districts in one or more accounts and subaccounts,
including the ability where deemed appropriate to establish one
or more accounts for the proper accounting and implementation of
the Tax Increment Districts and the portion of the Projec� to be
financed directly or indirectly with tax increment. The right to
make appropriate transfers in and out of such accounts is hereby
reserved, along with the right �.o make both external and internal
interest-bearing bo�rowings, whether long term or short term,

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: August 2, 2000
Title:
REVIEW OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE 665, AN ORDINANCE REZONING PROPERTIES
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WALGREENS DEVELOPMENT FROM B-3, HIGHWAY
BUSINESS, AND PF, PUBLIC FACILITIES, TO PUD, PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT;
ANU pRDINANCE 666, AN ORDINANCE VACATING THE OLD EDGEWOOD DRIVE
RIGHT OF WAY
Background:
At the July 19`h meeting, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 623-00, a resolution
which recommended to the City Council approval of the Walgreens development review stage of
their PUD, the preliminary plat, the rezoning and the vacation of the old Edgewood Drive right of
way. Staff felt it should provide copies of these ordinances to the Commission for review
purposes, even though the Commission has already recommended their approval.
Unfortunately, the City Attorney was not able to provide copies of these two ordinances by the
time this report was drafted. Staff will provide copies of these ordinance to the Commission on
August 2, 2000.
Recomme�dation:
No action is required other than to review the ordinances and provide any feedback to staff at the
August 16�h Planning Commission meeting. The City Council is scheduled to hold second
reading and adoption of the two ordinances on August 28, 2000.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: August 2, 2000
Title:
DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 629-00, A RESOLUTION
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 663, AN ORDINANCE CREATING
LANGUAGE TO ADMINISTER AND REGULATE TATTOO AND BODY PIERCING
ESTABLISHMENTS
Lztroduction:
As the Planning Commission is aware, the Mounds View Municipal Code does not at this time
address tattoo or body piercing establislunents. In order to adequately research this issue, the
City Council adopted interim Ordinance 653 on February 14, 2000, which prohibits any tattoo
shops of body piercing establishments to be located in the City for a period of six months. The
six month period will expire on August 14, 2000. It is expected that the Council will call to
order at their worksession on August 7, 2000, to extend the moratorium for an additional three
months.
Discussion:
With the assistance of the city attorney, staff has drafted an ordinance which creates licensing
provisions and zoning allowances for such uses. Staff would request the Planning Commission
review the entirety of the ordinance paying especially close attention to those provisions
concenrzing the Zoning Code.
In addition to creating licensing requirements, the ordinance is drafted to allow such uses in the
B-2, B-3 and B-4 business zoning districts. They would be allowed unconditionally (i.e., no
conditional use permit would be required) so long as certain specific requirements were satisfied

4. Approval of Minutes
A. May 17, 2000
MOTION/SECOND: Miller/Kaden to approve the May 17, 2000 meeting minutes as corrected.
Ayes - 7 Nays - 0 The motion carried.
5. Local Water Management Plan Update
Rocky Keehn, of SEH, Inc., explained that the goal for the evening is to receive any last
feedback from the Commission before update goes to the City Council worlcsession. The plan
incorporates comments made in previous meetiiigs, descriptions on maps are more detailed, and
Watershed descriptions have been added. Mr. Keel�n advised that a few more edits may need to
be made; also, highway descriptions would need to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
update.
Coinmissioner Miller pointed out that Figures 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10 were not clear. Mr. Keehn
explained the final plan would be in color. He had not znade color copies to conserve on costs.
Commissioner Miller commented that Pages 3 and 1'1 discuss land uses and how Mounds View
has developed and stabilized. She questioned if anything should be included regarding
"redevelopment" issues, as the City is concerned about redevelopment. Mr. Keehn agreed that
the issue could be further addressed.
Commissioner Miller stated although there is not a great deal of land left to be developed, there
are redevelopment processes going on that should be included.
Commissioner Hegland aslced what they would consider redevelopment in regard to this plan.
Mr. Keehn advised that if redevelopment in this plan entailed open space, there could be a
negative impact on the City's hydrology. For example, if a comnlercial business goes to
industrial or vice versa, there would probably not be that much of an impact. However, if one-
acre lots are converted to '/4 acre lots, those are the lcind of redevelopment scenarios that could
have an impact on the plan and soine of its assumptions. He said tlley could expand this area if
the Commission would like.
Commissioner Hegland stated they should be specific as to how redevelopment is defined in
terms of the Watershed.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson stated if a building's footprint is not going to change it is not
really a redevelopment issue for Water Management.
Commissioner Hegland noted if the square footage of a home is doubled it is considered
redevelopment, however, he does not thinlc it would be necessary to put that in this plan.

Mr. Keehn advised that he has seen an occurrence in many communities where 20 to 30 hoines
were previously built with a house and possibly a�arage, and are now built with a house, a
double garage, a barn in the bacic, and the patio. This could impact the storm sewer systems with
street flooding, a low spot that never used to flood could begin flooding. He advised a lot of
plans do not address that, but that may be a problem in the future if redevelopment increases the
impervious surface areas. Mr. Keehn noted that if everyone in the Watershed District were to
build a new house and a double garage, there would be problems.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson inquired if they should expand on the redevelopment issue in the
plan.
Mr. Keelui said if he read this plan tlie way it is, it would imply tilat conditions have not and will
not change. Perhaps the plan should explain that although planned development may basically
stay the same, there could be other issues related to redevelopment. He suggested that as people
look for changes in their property, they should loolc at the "big picture" and see what the
potential iinpact is.
Commissioner Hegland stated he finds it hard to believe that a typical homeowner in Mounds
View would have an impact on this. Even if everyone increased the size of his or her building by
50 percent, he cannot believe it would affect this to that large of a degree that it would have to be
dealt with. Coinmissioner Hegland suggested, perhaps, the types of things to be included would
be a change of the topography of the property or large projects, such as big parlcing lots or
something similar. He said he would lilce to malce sure that the plan does not restrict homeowner
development in any way, but rather keep it restricted to the larger projects.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson pointed out that in Mounds View, redevelopment is an issue, and
it is becoming more and more of an issue. He concurred with Corrunissioner Miller that they are
really not addressing redevelopment in this docu�nent. He stated it should be addressed that
water management should consider redevelopinent, as it is an issue in Mounds View.
Mr. ICeehn said the way the plan reads now is that it almost implies that the system is good and
everything will be olcay. However, it sounds lilce soine redevelopment issues could cause
potential negative impacts and they should Ue addressed in the plan. He stated he will add some
additional language to flag that point and to let people lcnow that there is a concern.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson said there are definitely some issues with redevelopment. If they
were to redevelop a large parcel that happens to be a mobile home parlc, the implications to water
management would be great. He stated some development will happen in the City and he
believes the plan needs a statement regarding it.
Mr. Keehn said he would worlc with Staff to develop language that reflects both sides of this
concern. He added this would not include anything that would restrict a property owner from
constructing a garage.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson directed Staff to draft a resolution for the next meeting.

area that would be utilized for drainage or the holding of storm water, there would not be a
problem whatsoever. In teri��s of providing a trailway along Highway 10, what sl�ows on this
plan can be accoinplished.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson noted he thinlcs this trailway issue is something that will be in
discussion all along Highway 10 and this is just the first of tlie City's discussions with the County
as far as going within the right-of-way. The City was not going to encroach on property owners,
they would actually encroach into the old right-of-way. He said he is happy to hear that a
trailway all along Highway 10 should not be a problem once the state has turned over the county
roads.
Planner Ericson advised that another issue regarding trailways dealt with pedestrian safety.
While there is tlie marlced pedestrian crosswallc on the noirth side of Edgewood Drive, there is no
pedestrian crosswalk across Highway 10 on the south side of Edgewood Drive where the
Walgreens and proposed Culver's would be located. The developer indicated that it would be a
good idea and Staff concurred that there should be so�ne lcind of landscaping alongside the
trailway that would be in the right-of way to prevent people from crossing in an unmarlced area.
They could add some physical and perceived impediments so pedestrians would not cross at that
location. Planner Associate Ericson acicnowledged that people will cross where they want
regardless, however, landscaping and something decorative could deter enough people to make a
difference.
Cornmissioner Miller inquired what lcind of material the trailway within the right-of-way would
be. Ericson said it has been discussed to be 7-foot wide paved bituminous trail, similar to the
one across the street, and would be maintained by the City.
Planner Ericson advised it looks as though it would be a sufficient area and there would not need
to be any filling or grading to put in this trail. It is 50 feet wide and the ditch comprises
approximately 30 feet of that, so there is sufficient space and it is even possible to put in some
low profile plantings along the trailway. He stated there were also discussions of putting in
decorative lighting which could be located on either side of the trail. He indicated that Milce
Ulrich, Director of Public Worlcs, is working with Northern States Power for some lighting ideas,
and they do have two different styles of light fixtures that are planned for installation on
Edgewood Drive. Those styles could also be incorporated into a trailway that could carry over to
the wetland, however, that has not been discussed yet.
Planner Ericson advised there have been no changes or additions to the site plan other than
showing the trailways. Also, they are still waiting on the final plan for the drainage. The City
Engineer has worked with the developer's engineers and they have all the information they need
to determine how big the relocated stormwater holding pond should be, where the storm sewer
should be located, and the proper elevations. All that information is in the hands of the
developer's engineer and will be forthcoming; there should not be any issues that will be
unresolved. He explained the pond would be sized to fit the area that's there. It will not be sized
to accommodate 100% of the flow coming through the storm sewer under Edgewood Drive, but
would be sized to handle all the flow from Culver's a�1d Wal�;reens, the flow from the City Hall
parking lot, and the existing volume of the pond. It would also talce on much of the storm water

that is ri.uuling through the existing storm sewer on Edgewood Drive, which currently flows
untreated under Highway 10. The intent is to talce volume off Edgewood Drive and get it filtered
and cleansed before sending it bacic into the system. The pond would be sized to utilize the
uplands that are available, not 100% of the volume. He stated he thinks this is a great benefit to
the City, that they can loolc at ponding from a more regional pex•spective, rather than on a single
development scenario. It should reduce ihe possibility of downstream flooding and will be a
water quality benefit for the City as well.
Planner Ericson advised the preliminary plat in the staff report indicated the plat would be named
Mounds View City Hall Addition. There are no changes to the plat, and copies will be made
available at the next meeting. The easement area for the sign was discussed concerning rights to
the sign easeinent as�ea where the Bel Rae ballroom sign was. When the City purchased the Bel
Rae ballroom and constructed the Conununity Center they also toolc over ownership of that
easement area. He explained it is lilcely the City would vacate that easement area and if there is a
need to create another area for signage purposes they could address that issue on its own at some
point in the future, rather than trying to retain sorne portion of the exisiing easement area to meet
the needs of the second developable lot. A vacation of the original Edgewood Drive right of way
would also be required and is shown on the plat as being vacated. The wetland area would be
covered by an easement, something that Rice Creelc Watershed District would require, and given
that it would become the City's property he does not thinlc there would be an issue with
dedicating an easement. If the City is the deed holder, an easement may not even be required.
Planner Ericson reported the Rice Creelc Watershed District has reviewed the plans and because
of the improvement to the water quality and additional ponding and storm water capacity they
are very excited about this plan. Tliey have indicated that as soon as the f nal specifications are
forwarded to thern it should be approved.
Plamler Ericson advised the developer is proposing 146 parlcing spaces. The City Code requires
a little more than that, however, there is a benef t of having both uses side by side. There would
be a cross access in parlcing easement granted so that in times of pealc use patrons from either
parcel could use the other's parking. Staff felt that would compensate for the deficiency in
parking. One of the intents of the Plaruied Unit Development process is that they look at these
issues and determine if there are creative ways to address specific requirements, such as parlcing
and setbacics in ways that are not normally handled by the zoning code. The Planned Unit
Development process allows the City to deal with them in a more creative and beneficial way
that would allow for development to occur in an area where it might otlierwise not occur.
Planner Ericson indicated that staff had contracted with a commercial appraiser to appraise both
the City's remnant parcel and also on the eiglrt acres that would be transferred to the City. He
noted that Staff had handed out a copy of the sumznary page which shows the valuations on the
land. The appraisal indicates that the City's parcel has a$166,000 value while the eight acres of
Midland Videen property is valued at $161,000. It is very similar in terms of value, which is
presuming that it could be developed as a stand-alone parcel. If the two parcels were joined
together and appraised, the value of the two parcels combined would be more than their parts.

Regalar Meeting Pnge 7
Regarding public notification for this meeting, Plamier Ericson informed the Commission that
staff sent out approximately 360 notices and are doing all they can to get the word out. He
reported they put much information on the City's website about the development proposal,
including a copy of the last staff report. They also put a notice in the Mounds Vie�� Matte�•s,
which was just recently delivered to residents. He stated the City is trying to assure they obtain
as much input as possible. From this meeting, l�e hoped to be able to have a resolution drafted
subject to the information that has been presented from him, tl�e public, and the developer. The
resolution could either represent approval or denial of this development proposal and could be
prepared for the next Commission meeting.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:43 p.in.
Kyle Longstead, 7901 Edgewood Drive, questioned if tl�e City would put an Embers up in this
location knowing that there is an Embers by Northown. He compared this to putting in another
Walgreens so close to the one by Northtown. He feels they are saturating the area with similar
product with the possibility of another empty building two or three years down the road.
Commissioner Johnson responded that according to law they ca►uzot deny another drug store
because they already have one. Mr. Longstead said lie understands that, however, he hopes some
thought has gone into what they are developing. He stated he is a worried they are going to have
an empty building that no one will rent or buy.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson said this issue was a big concern, especially when Walgreens was
going to go in on County Road I, which was the original proposal and was even closer to
Northtown. He stated they aslced the same question of saturation to the developer and he
convinced them that the drug stores are two-fold. Walgreens relies on local people who can
walk to it, and there are a lot of senior citizens in the area. Also, it will be the destination of
people driving northwest on Highway 10. He explained the developer wanted a Walgreens
location with easy access. That is why they wanted the location on this side of the Highway. He
stated that in answer to Mr. Longstead's question, the developer convinced inost of the
Commission that it would be an viable operation in this location.
Commissioner Kaden stated he attended a land use and planning seminar where a presenter who
taught the seminar had practiced in land use law for over 30 years. She informed them it actually
violates the U.S. Constitution in soine way for tliem to determine they cannot have a Walgreens
here because there is one down the road. He explained if they �neet all the conditions, the
Commission cannot consider the close location issue.
Mr. Longstead noted it is not Walgreens in particular he has a problem with, he has a problem
with the saturation. Commissioner Kaden said he understands that, he grew up in Mounds View
and every time a new gas station went up on Highway 10 another one went out of business. He
did not understand why they lcept adding more. However, he learned the Council and Planning
Commission cannot say there are too many gas stations and they are not going to approve
another one.

Commissioner Thomas stated she would lilce to clarify they are not discussing a problem of law,
as this is not a private property for sale. There is no problem of law when this is City property
they would be trading. It is their job as the Plamiing Cornmission to determine if this is the
proper use for City property and whether or not they would lilce to trade tilat land to be
developed into retail property. She explained that, at this point, being City property, there is NO
law requiring them to allow any development whatsoever, so they should be very careful quoting
Constitutional references in deciding whether or not they want to develop this land.
Commissioner Thomas also commented that this is the opportunity to hear the community voice
on whether or not they want to see a building put up across the street from the City Hall. There
is no U.S. Constitution violation for someone to come and say they do not want to see a building
here that could go out of business.
Commissionez Johnson stated they also had many conununity meetings on what types of uses
should be sought in Mounds View and a lot of it was restaurants and another drug store. That is
why they are seeing this development going forward.
Commissioner Thomas responded she is not against the possibility of this land being developed,
however, it is their responsibility to decide what is there and no one should be saying at this
point that they have to allow a Walgreens because that is not the case. The City can decide
whether or not to trade the land for that development.
Commissioner Johnson stated Commissioner Thomas is correct, but if they did not allow
Walgreens here he would guarantee Walgreens would not go away, they would be bacic in
another spot of this highway.
Commissioner Thomas said that is their responsiUility as a corporation, but the Planning
Commission should decide if it should be there.
Commissioner Kaden stated they do not have to trade the City lot for tl�em to develop this
Walgreens. Mr. Videen, however, wants to sell his property and those 3'/2 acres of upland
behind the residents' houses can be developed subject to the wetlands. He stated he personally
would think that woods behind the houses and open wetlands with a Walgreens on this site
would be more palatable than a development stuck in their bacicyards.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson clarified Mr. Longstead's concerns as being saturation and the
possibility of an empty building a few years from now. He said he appreciates that concern,
which would be a concern of anyone, including the Commission. Acting Chairperson Stevenson
stated that, at this time, he feels good about the situation and does not feel they will have an
empty building in the near future.
Doris Hamline, 3034 Ardmore, asked if this had been brought to Springsted, the consultant
group hired to help with redevelopment and safety issues along Highway 10. Community
Development Director Joplce said they are aware of it.
Ms. Hamline said it seems they have concurrent discussions going on. She pointed out that the
community public meeting is July 11'�' where it will be discussed what the community would like

to see happen as far as redevelopment and safety issues. Ms. Hamline suggested the City can put
iai all the lights and sidewallcs they want but that is not going to safely transport the people they
are hoping to draw into Walgreens and Culver's. This would include the senior citizens and lcids
who will walk there and cross that lughway to get to the inovie theater and the Community
Center. They may have sidewallcs on either side of the street, but they still have one big open
highway that they need to cross. She stated it has not been crossed safely once, and questioned
how many more times will it not be crossed safely if they continue to draw more cars and more
businesses into the area without fully addressing the safety issue of that highway.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson responded that safety is a real concern which they have discussed
and they would not allow a development to go in without addressing how Highway 10 can be
maintained more safely. Acting Chairperson Stevenson stated they would not want to see
another accident happen and they will address it, to malce sure the developer has that foremost
issue in mind before they see development go through.
Ms. Hamline stated she thii�lcs safety going bacic and forth across that road needs to be addressed,
which she has not heard much discussion about.
Terry Moses, representative of Midland Videen, said he would lilce to add a little more comfort
to any concerns about Walgreens. He explained Walgreens loolcs at a site based on the
population in a one-mile radius; so some stores might be two miles apart. It is farther than that to
Northtown and they are not worried at all about not having enough business. He stated they will
be signing a 20-year lease with options to extend, so they will be occupying that building for at
least 20 years. Mr, Moses stated they have done an extensive study of this site and board
approval was very positive.
In response to questions, Mr. Moses reviewed tl�e Culver's hours of operation, and advised they
will employ approximately 25 full time employees with 10 to 14 being on duty at a time. Out of
the roughly 75 Walgreens in the Twin Cities, he advised that only 10 are 24-hour operations and
they are in high-density areas. It is not anticipated that this would be a 24-hour store. He
reviewed the hours of operation and advised Walgreens will have 12 full time employees and 30
part time employees. It will generate 600 to 800 car trips per day, and because they lilce to be on
well-traveled roads, a lot of the cars will be people passing by the site anyway. The drive-up
window cannot be used for picicing up anything other than prescriptions.
He assured the Planning Coinmission they will do a very good job in landscaping and will meet
the City's requirements. He noted the site plan witl� dimensions and two signage proposals, one
was pylon and one was monument. Mr. Moses stated he believes the City indicated they prefer a
monument sign and that was agreed with today.
Mr. Moses presented the site plan, noting the locations of pathways, ponds, and parcels to be
traded.
Commissioner Kaden inquired if the three small detention areas were still necessary because of
the large pond.

Plaruier Ericson advised they have not discussed the specifics, however, it could be the case that
those small basins would not be required for infiltration purposes. They could provide for
additional infiltration for the site and create some additio�zal opportuzlity to filter sedimentation
utilizing the best managemeilt practice that Rice Creek Watershed prefers. He said he thinlcs, at
this point, that Mr. Moses is accurate in saying they are not necessary, however, he is not aware
if they are going to be provided. Planner Ericson explained they would not retain any water but
be a place for water to go during a heavy rainfall and there is no reason they cannot be
landscaped.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson aslced if tl�e square footage and appearance of this building would
be similar to the store at Northtown. Mr. Moses explained the proposed store is 14,500 square
feet. He stated it would be difficult to tell the difference but this store might be more lilce the
store on University Avenue.
Corrunissioner Kaden inquired how the developer might feel about putting some pine trees by the
drive-up window to blocic the amplified sound some of the residents have expressed concern
about. Mr. Moses responded if tllat is agreeable to everyone else they would agree. He
commented that the p.a. system however would not audible to anyone but the person in car.
Commissioner Hegland aslced if the drug store and restaurant could be better aligned with each
other in order to fit in additional parlcing. Mr. Moses responded that the area where most of the
cars come in should be wider rather tl�an narrower, so it may be difficult to do.
Connmissioner Hegland commented they discussed having the trailway along Highway 10 extend
all the way to the extended sidewallc on Edgewood Drive. He asked what the plan is on the
entrance to marlc that for anyone using the trail, as it goes right across the entrance area. Planner
Ericson responded there has not been significant thought as to how to deal with that other than
some lcind of signage being installed. He advised they will be loolcing at that not only here but
all through the City as the Highway 10 trail corridor system gets implemented.
Commissioner Hegland inquired if tliey are loolcing at designating that as a pedestrian crosswalk
area. Planner Ericson responded soinething lilce that could be utilized, however, the problem is
people coming off the highway, and he is not sure if it would be in the best interest of traffic to
make it stop. He agreed, however, that it should be examined.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson commented one of the things he has seen happen in busy
intersections is to make almost a right hand turn for a number of feet that goes sli�htly deeper at
that turning point with the same on the other side for the bilcers. He explained that a berm or
something at the end would require people to slow down. Planner Ericson said that is a
wonderful suggestion and could be incorporated. As the trailway approaches Edgewood Drive,
instead of ineeting up at a 90 degree angle, it curves in at the ri�ht-of-way so people have to slow
down or stop.
Commissioner Hegland stated he does not thinlc they sliould do anything that would obsttuct a
driver's view of that intersection, as that view will lilcely be more valuable. Mr. Moses suggested

they discuss the geoinetrics of the right-in so it is not just lilce an exit ramp on the freeway but
would force people to slow down.
A resident of St. Stephen Street said she does a lot of wallcing and the way Edgewood Drive is
planned now she won•ies about people using it as a freeway. She stated she also worries, as they
discuss putting in a trailway, that a lot of people will have to watch their step as they enter or
come out with bilces, wallcing, or pushing children with a cart. She suggested there has to be
some jog where they are not directed into the line of traffic.
Planner Ericson said there was a discussion earlier this afternoon regarding having a bend with
more of a radial meeting of the sidewallc to tie into t11e applicant's property, rather than having
the trailway meet up with the sidewalk at a 90-degree angle. He explained there could also be a
pedestrian crossing, not right up to the right-of-way to Highway 10, but back 15 feet to allow for
greater visibility for pedestrians, bilcers and vehicles.
Commissioner Miller inquired if the City Council already made the decision to trade this land.
Planner Ericson explained the Council had not specifically decided this but authorized Staff to
explore this and he does not believe there was any type of limited negotiation or purchase
agreement. The only thing the City did was act as a signer on the application so it could proceed
and be considered. He explained the Council granted Staff the aUility to process the application.
Commissioner Tliomas stated she feels they are discussing two different issues. The first is the
issue of whether the developer will be able to worlc with the limitations and guidelines of the
City to the Planning Commission's sufficient desire. Sl1e stated she has seen every indication the
developer will go to the utn�ost lengths to do what they would lilce them to do. However, the
other issue they are tallcing about is a basic trade. Commissioner Thomas stated she fully
understands why Mr. Videen wants to sell l�is property. She commented that what she has not
been convinced of, is what the City is getting in return being better than what they have now.
She commended Staff for providing the values of tlie properties which helps immensely.
Commissioner Thomas suggested it looks as though the properties are equal. However, in. order
to convince her this is wliat she wants, she has to be convinced that a retail property located
across from City Hall is appropriate, and she is not convinced of that. She stated that issue
would have to be answered before she would feel comfortable saying they should trade.
Commissioner Johnson stated they discussed at length two months ago what they would gain,
which would be a lot greater than what they have. They now have a corner lot and a pond in the
center for a holding pond. He noted the City would gain a much larger holding pond, water
filtration, wetland credits, and a park with a walkway.
Commissioner Thoinas stated she is very close, however, everything they would gain from that
property would have to be matched by what they would lose by losing tlais property and putting
retail on it. She stated this property does add to the Ueautification of this area and creates a
"community feel" which they would lose if they gave it up. Commissioner Thomas stated it
would also brealc up the continuity of this property. She questioned if that is worth what they
would gain.

Planner Ericson stated he does not feel they can go through the merits of the transaction on a
point by point basis regarding the positives and negatives in the next five minutes. I-�e noted
however that there would be tax consequences that would benefit the City tremendously, not to
mention the fact tl�at if this does not go forward they would retain the land but could potentially
lose the ei�ht acres that is right now a very pristine �latut•al wetland and upland area. He stated in
his personal opinion, the remnant parcel is a great piece of land with the pond in it, but he would
much rather save the woods and the wetland and the eight acres. Granted, the wetland cannot go
away as they are protected, however, certainly the 3 1/2 acres of developable land could be
developed commercially. Planner Ericson stated the Planning Commission can tallc about if the
City could have purchased the land, but now the proposal is before them and they can either act
now or live with the consequences.
Commissioner Thomas stated this property has been for sale and on the marlcet for eight years
and she wonders exactly how developable it is. She said she does not see any imminent danger
of this property going to something they cannot stand anytime in the near future, as it is going to
have to go to what would worlc well on the property.
Commissioner Thomas said if it comes down to worlcing with the developer she has been
incredibly impressed with the desire of this developer. The question is what the community
wants.
Planner Ericson agreed these are very weighty issues that have to balance out.
Acting Chairperson Stevenson commented they are not only tallcing about Walgreens, but also a
Culver's Restaurant. Since putting this on television, he stated people have told him they want to
have the Culver's Restaurant since it is a favorite family-restaurant of many. He noted that when
the theater developed, it was to have a Chili's Restaurant, which was lost due to the amount of
time it took for the development approval. He said this was loolcing positive with not only a
Walgreens, but also a Culver's Restaurant.
Commissioner Johnson stated a restaurant was the number one thing that the people in the
community wanted when they discussed it two years ago.
Mr. Moses stated the City's reirmant parcel is triangular and hard to f t a square building on the
land. Regarding the value to the City, it is being used for a pond. However, with the current
scenario, the City will get a bigger pond, a pathway, inore sidewallc, and a new, tax-paying retail
development. The Walgreens alolle will generate between $60,000 and $80,000 per year in new
taxes, plus the restaurant. He noted the residents on tlie east would be assured that nothing will
be developed in the woods and wetlands, and the development is farther away. He stated this
property and the owners go bacic 50 years, and for 50 years there have been problems with every
proposal Mr. Videen brought forward. Mr. Moses stated he personally has been worlcing on this
for ten years and believes this proposal is the right thing for everyone. He stated Commissioner
Thomas is off base and it is too late to say no, that all this has all been discussed.
Commissionei• Thomas stated it is not too late, this is clearly the time to bring up these concerns
and issues, as it is a public hearing.

Mr. Moses apologized to Commissioner Tl�omas and the rest of the Commissioil, indicating that
of course, she was correct.
Commissioner Thomas accepted the apology. She stated she toolc the history into great
consideration before she forinulated her questions. She stated she may be new to the
Commission but she has aslced the questions she needed of staff and of other inembers to find out
the background and history, and has lived in the City for the last 20 years. She stated she is very
aware of what has gone on with this property and took that into great consideration. These
choices, however, must be made according to the here and now, regardless of Mr. Videen's
health situation or intentions. Commissioner Thomas stated this is still an econoinical issue and
very little of the past has anything to do with this when tallcing about some of the land usage
issues.
Commissioner Thomas inquired about Culver's Restaurant being tentative in the development.
Mr. Moses said they are not far enough along in the lease negotiations to have a forn7al
agreement, however, Culver's does want to locate here.
Commissioner Thomas said she is in great favor of tl�e restaurant. She stated she has been very
pleased with the response from the developer, Mr. Moses, and Mr. Videen but this is siinply a
matter of choice in terms of what they want located here.
Council Liaison Stigney addressed the Conlmission, indicating that earlier Walgreens had
offered to purchase the parcel outright, and at that time, the amount of money versus a possible
trade was discussed. He explained tl�e people looking at it felt a trade might be more beneiicial
to the City than the outright sale since the land is not really developable as it is and would
require some combination with the adjoining parcels.
Commissioner Kaden noted that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Soine people may iind the
pond beautiful, but he finds the wooded areas beautiful. He would lilce to see the woods and
more open land saved. Unfortunately, there are not many areas the City has a chance to obtain.
If the numbers come off this close in a trade, he felt it would be a good deal for the residents to
get more open space and wooded areas. He said he is not real excited about big buildings
everywhere, however, if it works in the tradeoff he would appreciate the woods being saved and
having the buildings farther away.
Mr. Moses said the developer will use the same bricic as the City Hall complex and malce the
roof material match the Community Center to make it all fit in well.
Commissioner Thomas inquired if anyone has discussed the security issues regarding how
Walgreens feels about the stroil� youth environment due to the movie theater and the
Community Center. She noted the possibility of vaildalism or shoplifting. Mr. Moses said this
has not been discussed, noting Mounds View is one of the nicer areas they would be located in.
He noted that inner cities have more youth hanging around than Mounds View and he does not
think it is a concern at all. Mr. Moses stated the trash would be enclosed so there will not be an
opportunity for anyone to cause litter.

Commissioner Thomas noted the police station is basically across the street and hopefillly the
store would not be a target. Mr. Moses noted with the store being so close to the highway and
visible it is not a place a teenager would likely hang around.
On the issue of the pathway and driveway, Mr. Moses stated an example of a well-used trail in
Oalcdale (the Gateway Trail) that follows Highway 36 and crosses Hadley, just before I-694. He
stated that is a good example of a DNR trail crossing a very busy street.
The same resident of St. Stephen Street suggested they malce a nature center out of the extra
parcel of land that is wetlands. She suggested tlley could utilize Japanese walkways in the wet
area and nature trails. Acting Chairperson Stevenson responded the Mounds View Forester
would be evaluate that suggestion.
Planner Ericson suggested a resolution be prepared for the next Plaruiing Commission meeting if
the Commission feels they have enough information to direct staff one way or another. If the
Commission wants or needs additional inforznation, staff can bring forward more information.
He noted the Highway 10 Steering Committee meeting will be held at the City Hall on July 11 tt'
Acting Chairperson Stevenson questioned if information would be forthcoming from that
meeting that would affect this consideration.
Commissioner Johnson said the Steering Committee will not affect development of land per se, it
has inore do to with increasing the safety of the highway as far as pedestrian crossings and trails
along the highway. He stated the meeting would directly relate to the Walgreens issue.
The Planning Commission agreed to direct staff to draft a resolution in favor of the proposed
Planned Unit Development.
Commissioner Kaden commented that the developer has been willing to worlc with the
Commission, therefore, they should trust they would have the landscaping plan completed by
July 19tn
7. Special Planning Case SP-079-00
Discussion Regarding the First Draft of Ordinance 664, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1106
of the Mounds View Zoning Code Pertaining to Permitted and Conditionally Permitted
Accessory Buildin�s.
Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
Ordinance 664, which would affect cha.nges iil accessory structures in the City has been
distributed to the Planning Commission with the changes that are exactly as they were discussed
and agreed upon in principle at the last Coininission meeting.

Planner Ericson advised there are other minor changes contemplated by this ordinance, most of
which are houselceeping and reorganizing language in a more logical fashion. Some sections of
the code were put under a different subdivision, where it discusses single-family dwellings, and
they have cleaned up some previous errors. He noted the changes are evident in the
Commission's copy of the ordinance, deletions are strucic out and additions are underlined.
Comrnissioner Kaden inquired if 952 square feet is cur�ently the maximum size of a garage
without a CUP. Planner Ericson responded affirrnatively, subject to the footprint of the house
and the 20 percent rear yard coverage ratio.
Commissioner Kaden questioned if this code change would strilce the "footprint" requirement.
Plan�ier Ericson stated that is correct.
Acting Chairperson Steveiison inquired if the Commission had any more input on changes made
from the last meeting.
Commissioner Miller aslced for clarification on the first page, item C, be�inning at the fourth
line. Planner Ericson explained that the language was talcen from a different part of the code
under 1106.02 subdivision 1C. He explained that it was added in 1998 so as to allow a property
owner building a house a little bit of flexibility. If tlie Code did not include this language, it
would almost imply that before a house could be built, the driveway would already have to be
there. This language indicates that there are ways to build a house and not be required to put the
driveway in at the same time, as cement trucics and other heavy vehicles would be coming in and
out. He said this could be amended to state inore clearly what they would lilce it to say. He
suggested the Commission could think about revising this section and if they find language that
makes more sense, it can be revised up until the second reading.
Planner Ericson also advised that there are a couple other changes in between substantive and
housekeeping to the ordinance. He read from Page 3, item I, stating the change would make it
clear that the accessory building shall have weather resistant treated or finished exterior. He
explained the existing code was silent on material and they have had problems with some very
shoddy looking sheds and structures.
Commissioner Miller aslced about the lettering on Page 2, which was not corrected when items b
and c were deleted. Planner Ericson noted the lettering would be corrected and advised of the
addition of item j, which will be corrected to be item h.
Commissioner Kaden questioned what is meant by "frequently used vehicle." He expressed
concern that if there are any complaints, the meaning of this could change depending on the
inspector at the tiine. Planner Ericson explained that when this was loolced at, they attempted to
come up with language that shows the intent but leaves roozn for some interpretation. He noted
they do not want to require every accessory building to have an improved driveway.
Commissioner Miller inquired if the building is considered a garage if a car is put in it. Acting
Chairperson Stevenson said it is for a vehicle that is going to be frequently used. He explained

when they originally discussed this they did not want someone storing an antique vehicle, an
ATV, or something not often used to have to have to have a driveway.
Commissioner Johnson said he thii�lcs tliey agreed that if they end up plowing the driveway and
making ruts they would probably do somethin� to improve it.
Planner Ericson said he thii�lcs the property owner is going to dictate what will happen. He stated
the City has to leave some coirunon sense option and allow the resident to do what malces sense
and appropriate. Planner Ericson stated staff was not quite sure how else to address this other
than by stating specific requirements for a certain size. If after a year they have ruts, he thii�lc
that would constitute "frequent use."
Commissioner Johnson said if they are goin�; to plow the driveway they will probably parlc in
front of it, which is not allowed without an improved surface. That is where enforcement by the
City Inspector comes in for people that do not understand it is an eyesore and needs to be talcen
care of.
Commissioner Miller requested clarification on page 4, item c, beginning at "Any sign existing
prior to December 29, 1972, shall not be enlarged ..." Plaivner Ericson responded he could strilce
that beginning language as they would not laiow when the sign was originally put up.
Commissioner Miller inquired if a sign were only six square inches, could it not be enlarged to
one square foot. Planner Ericson explained yes, but he does not thinlc that section is appropriate
anymore, as this was drafted in 1983.
Commissioner Miller suggested when they amend the sign ordinance they may want to consider
if one square foot is appropriate.
Upon inquiry, Planner Ericson stated they need item c to be included, as it addresses home
occupations, and they need to have the allowances for signage for home occupations. They
could strike language from "any sign existing" and say a home occupation can simply have one
square foot of signage.
Corrunissioner Miller inquired if playhouses are considered an accessory building. Planner
Ericson responded they are listed as an accessory use but not and accessory building.
Council Member Stigney aslced regarding the home occupation signage if it is supposed to be
located on either the principal structure or the garage. He noted many times daycare center signs
are out on the street or mailbox. Planner Ericson said that is how the code reads. The l�ome
occupation ordinance was put in place in 1983 and has been in place for 17 years.
Commissioner Hegland clarified they are requiring a Conditional Use Permit to create an
accessory building more than 952 square feet, however, there is not a Conditional Use Permit to
�o up to 1,400 square feet, if you have a 952 square foot garage you can put another building up.
Planner Ericson stated the accessory buildings are allowed to a maximum combined square
footage of 1,400 square feet. He said staff would draft a resolution for the Commission's action

at the next Commission meeti�lg on July 19`�'. He inquired if the Commission feels tl�ey should
strike out language from tl�e hoi�ie occupancy section. The Plamiing Conlmission coiasensus was
to direct staff to leave that section in, stating they can change it when they change the sign code.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: August 16, 2000
Titleo CONSIDERATION OF A MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR LEO BERGELEEN,
8132 LONG LAKE ROAD.
Introduction:
Leo Bergeleen has applied for a minor subdivision to subdivide his lot located at 8132 Long Lake
Road and has submitted a Certificate of Survey to effectuate the subdivision. The subdivided
portion would not be used for development purposes, but would instead be combined with a
property fronting Sherwood Road. In essence, this is a simple land transaction whereby one
property owner deeds part of his lot to another property owner. No new lot would be created by
this action. However, because a change in property lines is involved, the City is required to
approve the action, which is defined as a subdivision of land.
Discussdon:
The existing lot to be subdivided is approximately 49,673 square feet, or, 1.13 acres, is zoned R-
1, Single Family Residential and conforms to all the City's lot requirements. It is 496.73 feet deep
and 100 feet wide. Mr. Bergeleen proposes to split offthe back 300 feet of the property and has
entered into an arrangement to sell this subdivided portion to a neighbor located at 2565
Sherwood Road, Bob Pearson. Mr. Pearson is planning to combine Mr. Bergeleen's rear 300 feet
to his own property, thus no new lot would be created. After the subdivision and land transfer,
Mr. Bergeleen's lot would be 19,770 square feet.
Staff has forwarded the Certificate of Survey to the City's Engineering Technician as well as to
the Director of Public Works. Other than dedication of the westeriy 30-foot of the subdivided for
roadway purposes, no changes or special requirements are being made. Typically, it is the case
with most minor subdivision that the City will require dedication of perimeter drainage and utility
easement areas. However because both lots have already been developed and no new
development is being proposed, dedication of new easements would not be needed. The City
Attorney will review the Certificate of Survey and any documentation needed to record the
subdivision with Ramsey County.
Last, most subdivisions, minor or major, are subject to park dedication requirements. This
request is unique in that, again, no new lot is being created and no new development will occur.
Staff has indicated to Mr. Bergeleen and Mr. Pearson that because of this, no dedication would be
required in this instance. (Section 1204.02 Sub. 3 of the Municipal Code exempts land improved
with single-family dwellings.)

Development Review Regarding a Walgreens Drugstore and Proposed Restaurant at the
Northeast Corner of Highway 10 and Edgewood Drive
Applicant: TOLD Development Company (Representative: Bob Cunningham)
The applicant was present. :
�:��';
Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
Bob Cunningham, representing TOLD Development Company, is requesting approval of a
Planned Unit Development (PUD) to construct a Walgreens Drugstore and restaurant at the
northeast corner of Highway 10 and Edgewood Drive on property commonly referred to as the
City's "remnant parcel" aiid the Midland Videen property. Mr. Cunningham is proposing to
swap approximately 8 acres of the Midland Videen site for the remnant parcel, which is
approximately 1 acre. It is proposed that the stormwater pond on the remnant parcel would be
relocated to high ground within the 8 acre Midland Videen site.
Planner Ericson reviewed that this application was considered at three Planning Commission
meetings and the issues of the site plan, drainage, platting, signage, and parking have been
thoroughly discussed. The consideration now before the Planning Commission is a resolution
recommending approval to the City Council of the development review, preliminary plat for the
proposed Mounds View City Hall addition, and the rezoning of the parcels from B-3, Business
Commercial, and PF, Public Facilities, to a PUD designation. He noted the updated site plans
that were provided to the Planning Commission.
Planner Ericson stated his staff report indicates the requirement for a minimum 7-foot path that
was given preliminary approval by the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer. He corrected it to
indicate a minimum 9-foot path to match what is on the theater property. He advised that the
cost differential between a 7-foot and 9-foot trail is not significant in the view of staff.

Planner Ericson stated the drainage plan is in its final form and has been reviewed by the City
Engineer who indicated the outlet from the subject parcels could be put in a more appropriate
location.
�"
Commissioner Laube arrived at 7:10 p.m.
Planner Ericson stated it would be more appropi-iate to relocate the storm drain to disturb as little
wetland as possible, which will occur. All other aspects of the drainage are satisfactory and the
Rice Creelc Watershed District has indicated support for what is being proposed. He stated the
only other change that will occur with the site plan is the addition of a safety bench within the
storm water pond to provided an added measure of safety.
Planner Ericson noted the specifications for lighting fixtures. He explained the plans showed
four shoe-box style lighting fixtures along the Highway 10 trailway and staff recommends,
instead, five decorative lights which are the same as will be installed along Edgewood Drive.
Planner Ericson noted the inclusion of the proposed res'olution and recommended it be corrected
to explicitly state the rezoning will be from PF and B-3 to PUD. He proposed a revision to the
Resolution title, advising that staff will insert that language and correct the trail width to 9 feet.
Planner Ericson noted the attendance of Bob Cunningham and offered to answer questions.
Bob Cunningham, representative of T,OLD Developznent Company, stated he has no issue with
increasing the trail width to nine feet. He stated the monuznent signage is proposed for the
intersection of Edgewood Drive and Highway 10 but he does not have a colored rendering of the
proposed signage. He presented a colored rendition of the proposed building, noting there will
be no signage on two of the elevations. He stated this rendering shows the color of the brick
being closely matched to that of the theater, Community Center, and City Hall buildings. He
stated a metal cap will also be added to the corner element to add a similar design feature as
contained on the Community Center.
Commissioner Miller aslced if the plans include a pylon sign.
Ivlr. Cunningham stated they do not propose a pylon sign but do propose a 65 square foot
monument sign in lceeping with the style of the City Hall monument sign. The brick base will
match the building bricic and the sign will be on top of that. He stated a similar sign will also be
proposed for the restaurant site.
Commissioner Thomas asked if the right-out turning movement has been eliminated from
Hibhway 10.
Mr. Cunningham stated they had requested a right-in/right-out from. Ramsey County but that was
denied and a right-in only was granted which Walgreens has`now agreed to.
Commissioner Kaden stated the corner of Lot 2 shows an area jutting into the wetland and aslced
if that is a change.

Mr. Cunningham stated it is a slight change at the request of Culver's Restaurant to
accommodate a future parlcing expansion area, if needed. He clarified that area is not being
requested today for parlcing, but the lot line is being changed to allow Culver's to retain the area
should it occur that they need additional parlcing in the future. He noted using that area for
parking would not be easy, and would involve wetland mitigation. He agreed with the staff
recommendation to remove the notation that it is a parking area since that is not being proposed
at this time.
In response to Commissioner Thomas, Mr. Cunningham explained the right-in is designed as
requested by the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer so it will not be perceived as a high speed slip
off lane and would require a turning movement at about 15 miles per hour. He noted ihis design
would slow the cars substantially as they exit from Highway 10 and malce the turning movement
into the parlcing lot. Mr. Cunningham advised they have used a similar design in another area
where a trail was in the vicinity and found it worked well.
Commissioner Johnson reviewed the discussion held by the Steering Committee relating to the
configuration of trail to slow down the speed of bicycles. Mr. Cunningham stated they will worlc
with staff to assure that an acceptable design is included. He suggested this is a good first step in
the right direction for the use of Highway 10.
Planner Ericson reviewed proposed coYrections to the resoution including a corrected title, a
revision to the NOW, THEREFOR$ BE IT RESOLVED paragraph on Page 3 to add the
wording: "the rezoning of land from B-3 and PF to PUD," and another revision to Page 3, sub l a,
to state "The biturriinous trailway shall be changed to a 9-foot width."

Mounds View Planning Commission
Regular Meeting
The applicant was present.
Planning Associate Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
Jnly 19, 2000
Pa�e 6
Dan Hall, representing The Mermaid, is requesting City approval of a general concept plan to
construct a 97-room hotel and a 500-seat banquet center to be attached to and integrated with the
existing complex.
The general concept plan is the first stage of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) process. If the
City approves the concept plan, the developer would then prepare the balance of the submittal
(landscaping, detailed site plans, drainage, signage, elevations, phoiometric analysis, etc.) for city
consideration, which is referred to as the development stage of the PUD. Both stages (concept
and development stages) require a public hearing. The final stage of the PUD is the
administrative approval. A public hearing notice was published in the newspaper and notices
mailed to all property owners within 350 feet of the subject properties for this meeting. In
addition to the PUD, the applicant has also applied for a major subdivision, which would
combine all of the subject properties into one platted parcel (presumably, Lot 1, Blocic 1,
Mermaid Addition). Action on the major subdivision is not scheduled at this meeting.
Planner Ericson noted the comprehensive plan does designate this as a mixed unit/Planned Unit
Development so this application would be consistent with that designation and the zoning.
Planner Ericson noted there have been several subrnittals identifying the parl�ing and building
configuration. He�advised that Perlcins has decided to not renew their lease so that property will
be included in this project. The Mermaid also closed on the rental property and applied for a
demolition permit for that property. The Music Off 10 property and part of the business park
property that provides the access from Highway 10 will also be incorporated in this project.
Planner Ericson explained that as part of the project, all the parcels would be combined and the
access drive location shifted to the west to allow for contiguous parking on the site.
Planner Ericson stated there is a small holding pond on the business park property that would be
relocated as part of a larger reg-ional storm water pond that would be constructed on the school
district and metro waste property. Planner Ericson noted the City was awarded a grant to assist
with the development of the regional pond. The Rice Creelc Watershed District has reviewed the
project, as has the City Engineer, County Engineer, Metropolitan Council Waste Management
Division, and all are pleased to see the storm water pond be installed. He advised that currently,
all of the water drains, unfiltered, from this site directly into Rice Creek so it is a benefit to divert
the water into a settlement pond and assure the water going into Rice Creek is treated. It would
also reduce the spikes of water inflow into the Creek during heavy storms.
Flanner Ericson reviewed the proposed parking of 972 spaces, noting 977 parlcing stalls are
required by Code, but since this is a PUD, the City can consider the complementary uses this
development would have to determine the appropriate number of parlcing spaces. He noted the
required parking setbacics and pointed out that the site plan identifies a 1-foot setback from
County Road H. Staff would recommend that be changed to a 5-foot setback. He noted there
appears to be room on the site to accommodate this 5-foot setbacic.

Mounds View Planning Commission July 19, 2000
Regular Meeting P�ge �
Planner Ericson stated the Ramsey County Traffic Engineer indicated no objection to a trail on
County right-of-way but the applicant inquired regarding the need for a trail in this location. He
stated this issue could be worlced out during the process.
Planner Ericson stated these are general plans and staff's recommendation is for approval of the
general concept plan, with the 5-foot setbacic change, which would be considered by the City
Council. He advised that this is a public heaxing so notices were published and sent to property
owners within 350 feet of the site.
Dan Hall, representing The Mermaid, presented a colored rendition of the proposed project
identifying the southwest cornet• of the 4-story AmericInn and attached banquet facility. He
explained the regional holding pond will clean drainage not only from this site but also from
County Road H, Horse and R.ider, Pettibone, Herbst, and Perlcins properties. He stated this is the
largest area of untreated water in Mounds View and a grant was awarded to address the need to
treat that drainage prior to it entering the Creek. Mr. Hall offered to answer questions of the
Planning Commission.
Commissioner Kaden asked if the drainage for businesses past Music Off 10 is addressed.
Mr. Hall stated it is not.
Commissioner Kaden aslced if this will;be enougli parking as proposed.
Mr. Hall stated the parking is appropriate when considered on a year-round basis. He noted the
parking lot is designed in regional sections to allow clients to parlc close to the use they desire.
However, since the building is connected, it allows you to enter the building and walk inside to
the desired venue. Mr. Hall explained how they anticipate groups of people to arrive at the site,
noting the various uses anticipate activity at different times. He commented on the importance of
offering adequate parking and stated he is comfortable with the number of parking spaces being
proposed.
Corrunissioner Miller aslced if tl�e dining area will be opened to the public.
Mr. Hall stated they are not adding square footage to the existing upstairs facility and the banquet
center will be a new area.
Commissioner Thomas noted the dining area being referred to by Commissioner Miller already
exists.
Mr. Hall stated that is correct and that it is a public dining area.
Chairperson Peterson inquired regarding the exterior finishes.
Truman Howell, architect representing the Mermaid, stated the hotel will be a 96 to 97 roorn
facility and construction will be with precast concrete floors and party vvalls constructed of
concrete block for soundproofing as developed in the AmericInn programs. The exterior is made

of EFIS and decorations. He stated EFIS is a stucco-lilce material that is amenable to detailing
and reveals to provide exterior character.
Chairperson Peterson aslced how the exterior finishes of the new addition fit with the existing
building.
Mr. Howell stated the existing building is fairly simple so not much worlc will be needed. He �'�`
explained that the east side of the building, the water park area and plaza, and the existing
structure will all blend together. He stated they plan to add a new entry to the existing restaurant
area in a style that is compatible with the new structure. Mr. Howell stated they are sensitive to
the need to assure the structures blend and hold their character.
Chairperson Peterson opened the public hearing at 7:51 p.m.
Commissioner Kaden stated there is a holding pond behind Music Off 10 and another pond exists
between the two existing buildings. He asked if tliat is where the new pond will be located.
Planner Ericson stated the new pond will be farther west on County Road H, just beyond the
Herbst property.
City Engineer Keehn stated there are some wetlands in this area and they are aware there will be
some impacts to this wooded wetland area. He stated the wetland has been delineated. City
Engineer Keehn explained they would incorporate the pond into the school's environmental
system and add diversity to provide different types of wetlands. In this case, it will create more
open water wetland areas for birds and ducics. He advised this is acceptable with the Rice Creek
Watershed District and reviewed the additional calculations that would occur prior to
construction.
Commissioner Kaden aslced how the filtration concept works.
City Engineer Keehn stated the theory is that if there is enough depth in the pond, it will provide
treatment, along with assuring there is enough distance between the entry and outfall. He stated
in theory the pond will provide a 25-year sediment loss but this rate can depend on the amount of
sand and salt in the water drainage.
Chairperson Peterson aslced if the business park property will be tied into this drainage system.
City Engineer Keehn stated the actual drainage treatment area includes the south part of the
existing business park building and a small area to the east.
Chairperson Peterson asked if the entire business parlc area to the north will be included
City Engineer Keehn stated it will not be included but the erosion concerns of the school will be
addressed. He stated this project will also address the undeveloped area to the north that is zoned
industriaUcommercial wkuch will need its own sedimentation pond but discharge through this
area. This project will be designed to accommodate that in the future.

Chairperson Peterson aslced about the school district's desire to make trail improvements.
City Engineer Keehn stated the school may loolc at improving or expanding the trail system and
this pond design will accommodate that as well. He noted this pond is desigiied as a regional
pond so it will address drainage for that entire area.
Commissioner Hegland asked if there is a requirement or Code that dictates the number or
location of entrances and exits.
Planner Ericson stated thai type of restriction to limit the number of entrances is not included for
commercial uses. He noted four accesses are being requested and those four exist today. He
noted the Rent All business has two additional access points but they will be.removed.
Commissioner Hegland stated it appears one entrance per road would be more realistic and cause
fewer problems.
Planner Ericson stated with having almost 1,000 parl�ing stalls, limiting to one access on
Highway 10 and one access on County Road H may be problematic, especially considering the
uses include a banquet hall. From staff's perspective, reducing from six access points to four is a
good situation. He stated staff believes the proposed configuration will work out and provide
sufficient traffic flow.
Commissioner Miller inquired regarding the distance between the points of access.
Commissioner Kaden estimated there is about 230 feet of separation between two access points
and about 250 feet of separation between the other two.
Chairperson Peterson stated he believes the number of proposed access points to be appropriate.
Commissioner Kaden aslced if the access road to the business park identified on the plan exists
today in this alignment.
Planner Ericson stated the plan before the Planning Commission identifies the proposed
driveway with the relocated access points.
Commissioner Miller inquired regarding the exact number of rooms being proposed, noting 96,
97, and 100 rooms have been mentioned.
Planner Ericson stated the application is for 96 or 97 rooms, given internal configurations and
what will fit.
Mr. Hall explained that with every hotel you have to provicte for meeting rooms, storage, etc. and
it is an internal decision if they should add a meeting room and eliminate a sleeping room. He
explained those decisions have yet to be made but the square footage would remain the same.
Mr. Howell explained that there are many con�gurations and provided details of how hotel l.ulits
are configured in several other hotel projects.

Chairperson Peterson noted the economic issues with this project have been discussed by the
Council.
Planner Ericson stated there have been Council discussions and staff has been directed to work
with the Mermaid to finalize the financing package.
Economic Development Coordinator Parrish stated the preliminary financing package is a pay-
as-you-go TIF arrangement, as opposed to up front bonding, with a not-to-exceed amount of $2.5
million. He stated those are the rough parameters that staff is worlcing with. He explained that
with a pay-as-you-go arrangement, the money received depends on the project's ability to
generate tax revenue. .
Chairperson Peterson stated if the project has come to this point, it means the financing issues are
believed to be feasible.
Mr. Howell stated staff will provide a report at the August 4, 2000 meeting of the EDA with the
proposal finalized.
Bob Hajak, legal representative for the Mermaid, advised that John G. Kinnard has provided a
letter of agreement and a dialogue is occurring between them, the developer, and the City. He
advased that John G. Kinnard is anxiouS to close on the property.
Commissioner Miller inquired regarding the water parlc.
Mr. Hall stated the pool will be oversized and contain fountains, a larger seating area, and be
more than a pool in an effort to attract family business.
Commissioner Miller asked if it will be available only to the patrons of the hotel.
Mr. Hall stated he is unaUle to answer how the end use will be handled but noted they have
always been a strong supporter of the community and he believed there were possibilities in the
future. He clarified, however, that it would never be open to the public.
MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Laube to approve the Resolution 62b-00, a Resolution
Recommending City Council Approval of the General Concept Plan Regarding the Proposal to
Construct a Hotel and Banquet Center at the Mermaid, Located at 2200 Highway 10; Planning
Case No. ZC00-003.
Ayes — 7 Nays - 0 Motion carried.
Planner Ericson stated the City Council will hear this proposal on August 7, 2000 and it will be
considered for action at their regular meeting of August 14, 2000. After that, he expects the
development plans will be submitted for Planning Commission consideration.
Mr. Hall thanked the Planning Cornmission for their consideration of this �roject.

Consideration of Resolution 624-00, a Resolution Recommending Adoption of Proposed
Ordinance 664, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1106 of the Mounds View Zoning Code
Pertaining to Penmitted an Conditionally Permitted Accessory Buildings
Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
Staff has been directed to worlc with the Planning Commission to draft language revisiting the
Zoning Code regarding sheds and accessory structures. The Planning Goinmission initiated
discussion on the issue on June 7, 2000 and continued discussion on June 21, 2000. Based on
the input and comments generated at these two rneetings, staff drafted Ordinance 664, which
amends Chapter 1106 of the Zoning Code pertaining to accessory buildings. The ordinance was
reviewed by the Planning Commission on July 5, 2000 and direction was given to staff to draft a
resolution recommending to the City Council adoption of the ordinance. The only changes made
to the proposed ordinance that was reviewed by the Planning Commission on July 5 2000, were
to underline the added text in subdivision la on Page 2 and to re-letter the subsequent subparts of
that same subdivision.
Planner Ericson explained that it is lioped this will be a benefit to the City. He stated the Council
looked at this at their work session and they felt this was a huge step in the right direction, and
would benefit the City's residents. Planner Ericson stated the Council conveyed its thanks to the
Planning Commission for talcing on this project to create an ordinance to address this issue.
Commissioner Hegland aslced about the height of the building, noting there is a 15-foot limit. He
stated if someone has a home with a steep roof pitch, a height of 15 feet may prevent them from
matching roof styles.
Planner Ericson explained it is measured as 15 feet from the ground to the midpoint of the truss
so it does allow for flexibility with higher-pitched roofs. Also, if there is living space above the
garage, a roof line could be maintained that way as well.
Chairperson Peterson aslced if that type of language is a common practice.
Community Development Director Jopke presented a diagram to better explain the area of
measurement and advised this is standard Zoning Ordinance language.
Planner Ericson stated that during his employment with Mounds View, there has only been one
request for a taller roof and that was only for several more inches.
Chairperson Peterson stated he wants to assure, since a change is being made, that the language is
adequate to address the requests that will be received.
Commissioner Thomas suggested a wording change on Page 5, subdivision 6, to indicate
"Accessory building" rather than "Accessory buildings."

Planner Ericson noted other sections use the plural word forrn and explained it is relating to the
zoning district not to one specific lot. However, that could be changed, if directed, to the word
"building."
Corninissioner Miller reviewed the language on Page 2, subdivision la, and suggested the word
"allotted" be changed to the word "allowed."
Planner Ericson stated the City Atiorney also commented on the use of the word "allotted" and
agreed with the suggestion to use the word "allowed."
Commissioner Miller referred to the language on Page 3, subdivision. b, and aslced if the Fire
Code should be mentioned when there is only a 3-foot separation. She also asked whether a
special iire wall is required.
Planner Ericson stated the Zoning Code zequires a 6-foot separation but the Building Code
requires a 3-foot separation. He stated that staff will verify the Fire Code requirement and make
the appropriate correction, if needed.
Chairperson Peterson suggested the Fire Marslial also be aslced about the issue of eave
separation.
MOTION/SECOND: Hegland/Kaden to approve Resolution 624-00, a Resolution

Discussion and Review of Proposed Ordinance 663, an Ordinance Creating Language to

Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
The City Council placed a 6-month moratorium prohibiting any tattoo shops or body piercing
establishments to be located in the City. The 6-month period will expire on August 14, 2000.
The proposed ordinance creates licensing requirements and adds minimal language to the Zoning
Code as to the appropriate zoning designations in which such a use could be located.

Planner Ericson noted the memorandum from the City Attorney's office providing feedback. He
advised that a copy was also provided to the Police Chief and the Assistant to the City
Administrator. He stated this ordinance was based on a City of Richfield ordinance and revised
to fit the City of Mounds View in all references.
Planner Ericson noted the rnemorandum from Bob Vose and recommendation that there be no
spacing requirements from other types of uses since there is no documentation saying these types
of uses are inappropriate or should be a certain distance from a school, cliurch, etc. He stated at
this point the only separation language being contemplated is a 1,000 foot separation from other
such establishments. Accordingly, Planner Ericson recommended a revision to Page 11,
1113.02, subdivision 3a to strilce the words: "500 feet from any educational facility, place of
worship and shall be separated by no less than." .
Planner Ericson stated the Planning Comrnission will need to consider which zoning districts this
type of business is appropriate to be allowed, noting staff has suggested it be allowed in the B-2,
B-3 and B-4 business zoning districts.
Commissioner Hegland aslced why a 1,000 foot separation between similar uses can be required
but not a separation from other uses.
Planner Ericson explained that spacing distances can be required to assure there is not a strip
mall created of similar piercing businesses.
Commissioner Hegland stated it appears if a restriction can be required between common
businesses, the other separation requirement is no different. He asked if there is B-2 property
adjacent to residential.
Planner Ericson stated almost all commercial districts in Mounds View are next to residential
districts.
Commissioner Johnson stated the separation between like businesses will limit the number of
businesses and prevent concentration.
Planner Ericson clarified it is 1,000 feet as measured from the property boundary which restricts
two similar businesses on the same property.
Cornmissioner Kaden noted the licenses required and aslced if that is required in St. Paul or if
Richfield has any body piercing businesses. Plannez• Ericson stated he is not aware.
Commissioner Kaden stated he called such a business and found the tattoo shop is licensed but
none of the employees are licensed individually.
Planner Ericson stated the City wants to assure the operators are responsible and can be held
liable.
Commissioner Miller noted the language does not identify who is doing the licensing.

Planner Ericson stated since it is within the Mounds View City Code, that is understood and
implied.
Commissioner Miller asked if body painting as defined in the definition section means a
permanent application.
Planner Ericson stated there are types of inlc that are not necessarily permanent but have a
permanence to them, such as henna inlc which is not injected under the slcin and wears off over
time. He noted the definition of "tattoo specialist" which is referenced in the other areas.
Commissioner Miller reviewed the remaining sections of the proposed ordinance and requested
modifications to provide consistency in word usage and capitalization, and to correct wording.
Planner Ericson stated staff will make the requested revisions.
Commissioner Kaden noted the exception paragraph addresses only ear piercing which would not
include other body piercing.
;,�,`�� '`�'����i...,
Planner Ericson stated that is correct.
Chairperson Peterson asked if anyone has made application for such a business.
Planner Ericson stated he is not aware of any and, technically, the Council should extend the
moratorium an additional two months to cover the time during which the ordinance is being
considered and becomes effective. He stated he will ask the City Attorney about that issue to
assure it is addressed.
10. Discussion of Proposed Ordinance 658, an Ordinance Clarifying Language Pertaining to
Ferices and Fence Heights, and Consideration of Resolution 625-00, a Resolution
Recommending Adoption of Proposed Ordinance 658.
Plaruiing Associate Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
Tlle drafting of Ordinance 658 resulted from a series of discussions held by both the Planning
Commissiorl and City Council earlier this year regarding a properiy owner's variance request far
a tall fer�ce in her front yard. The request, as the Commission may recall, was denied due to a
perceived lack of properiy-related hardship. The City Council ultimately overturned the Planning
Commission's decision, citing the documented harassment of police activity next door as the
governing hardship. Through this process, it became apparent that there should be a provision
ptaced in the Code that would allow for some flexibility in dealing with unusual situations that
would not normally be considered "hardships."
The proposed ordinance contemplates the addition of one sentence of text to Section 1103.08,
Subdivision 3a., which states:
� • � :.�{ 1 � : ._ �. L �t ���
Mounds View Planning Commission July 19, 2000
Regular Meeting Page 15
"The City Cou��cil »zay require or approve fe�acin,� up to niizetv-six inclzes (96" in height in a
front vard to satisfv a bu�'fer or screening condition o a developrnent review or co�aditional use
ep rmit '•
The addition of this language would have the effect of allowing for taller than normal fences (up
to 8') if required by the City Council or requested by the applicant for buffering or screening
purposes.
Planner Ericson explained that this provides another avenue of consideration other than a
variance procedure. If the Commission is comfortable with this language, staff would
recommend approval of Planning Commission Resolution 625-00, a Resolution Recommending
Adoption of Ordinance 658, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1103 of the Mounds View Zoning
Code Pertaining to Fences and Fence Heights.
Commissioner Johnson stated his support for the proposed ordinance which will provided added
privacy.
Commissioner Miller asked why the height is stated in a measurement of inches rather than in
feet.
Planner Ericson stated there is no reason and both can be stated. He reported a public hearing is
scheduled for Monday, July 24, 2000 with the City Council.
Commissioner Kacien stated his back lot line is his neighbor's side lot line and asked if this
ordinance would allow him to place an 8-foot fence to within 30 feet from the road.
Planner Ericson stated some interpretation is needed with that type of situation and staff has
approved fences wllere one back yard property abuts another's side yard. He commented on the
difficulty in wording an ordinance to address every situation that could occur. Planner Ericson
advised that staff created diagrams for residents who want to put up a fence so they can better
understand the regulations.
MOTION/SECOND: Laube/Johnson to approve Resolution 625-00, a Resolution
Recommending Approval of Proposed Ordinance 658, an Ordinance Amending Title 1100,

project in the Greenfield Park area and their interest to worlc with the City to create additional
storm water llolding ponds. The intent would be to provide additional storm water treatment and
rate control prior to entering Rice Creelc. Cornmunity Developrnent Director Joplce stated the
Council gave approval of the concept and for Rice Creek to proceed with developing more
detailed plans so neighborhood meetings can be held.
Community Development Director Joplce reported the Council established a schedule for 2001 �
budget discussions. '
Community Development Director Joplce advised that another issue addressed was truck traffic
limits on County Road H as requested by Beverly Adair due to Murphy Warehouse truck traffic.
Ms. Adair is asking that trucks be prohibited on County Road H. It was determined that County
Road H is a County State Aid road so trucks could not be prohibited but the County said the City
could put hours of day limits on the truck traffic. However, Ms. Adair also sent letters to
Murphy Warehouse. They have been working to reduce the level of truck traffic on County Road
H. Currently, Ms. Adair is happy with the results. The Counci] discussed this and truck trafiic on
County Road H2, and directed staff to loolc into the matter further with the potential to establish
hourly restrictions in cooperation with the City of Fridley on County Road H.
Comnnunity Development Director Joplce stated the Council received an update on Local Surface
Water Managernent Plan by the City Engineer. Also, discussion was held on public notice
requirements and issues relating to notification of apartments and other properties where the
owner is noticed. The Council was aslced to establish a policy for future notification and they
directed staff to coi�duct further research on the procedure and costs to expand notiiication.
Community Development Director Joplce stated the Walgreen proposal was presented as well as
proposed lighting on Edgewood Road.
Bo Highway 10 Steering Committee Update
Community Development Director Jopke provided an update on the community xneeting which
was held on July 11 and attended by about 20 people to discuss issues and priorities related to
Highway 10. He advised it was clear that safety was the number one priority so the Steering
Committee, staff, and the consultant will meet again next week to look at those priorities and
how they are presented to assure that safety is a top priority. Community Development Director
Jopke advised that a report will be presented to the Council in August and authorization
requested to draft detailed action and financing plans.
Chairperson Peterson stated he felt a lot of good information was presented at the community
meeting but, perhaps, a better explanation should have been given to explain why some of the
items were included on the priority list for Highway 10.
Commissioner Miller stated there are certain things you cannot do anything about, such as
bicyclers coming from Perkins and crossing Highway 10 traffic lanes.
Community Development Director Jopke explained how walls and berms can be used to create
more separation.

Commissioner Thomas stated residents were concerned about the placexnent of trails along the
highway since it allows trail users to leave the trail area to cross the highway.
Commissioner Johnson agreed there was a misconception with residents who had the impression
that curbs and landscaping would immediately be installed along the trail.
Chairperson Peterson reported on a recent near-accident by Taco Bell when a group of
pedestrians were attempting to cross Highway 10 after the signal light had turned green.
Commissioner Kaden commented on a location along University Avenue that has a fenced area
to prevent pedestrian crossing activity which he believed did not loolc very good
Commissioner Thomas noted several areas by Northtown Shopping Center where shrubs make it
inore difficult to cross the area. She suggested there are other methods that can be used, noting it
is not a good idea to locate all of the City's trails along the highway.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: Septeinber 6, 2000
TatCeo DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 631-00, A
RESOLUTION APPROVING A FRONT YARD SETBACK VAKTANCE FOR
CRAIG WALTERS AT 8141 EDGEWOOD DRIVE
IntNOduction:
Craig Walters, property owner of 8141 Edgewood Drive, has applied for a variance to encroach
into the front yard setback to allow for the construction of a 308 square-foot addition onto the
north side of his house. The house, which was constructed in 1946, was built at an angle on the
lot and is setback 24 feet from Edgewood Drive. The proposed addition would match the
existing building and roof lines to maximize interior functionality and for aesthetic appeal.
Discussion:
For the Pla.nning Comrnission to act favorably, there must be a demonstrated hardship or
practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal interpretation of the Code
overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing
body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its decision in accordance
with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section�1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City
Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the critenia are met. The
individual criteria, with responses, are as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or
shape, topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property since
the effective date hereof have had no control.
Mr. Walter's home was constructed in 1946, twelve years before Mounds View became a
City and before the Zoning Code was adopted. The house was built at a slight angle from
the street, and at its closest point, is set back 25 feet from Edgewood Drive. The
proposed addition would match the existing building line and would not increase the
extent of the encroachment.
b. The literal tnterpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other propertzes in the same district under the te�ms of this
Title.
The literal interpretation would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district. The applicant seeks to improve his property by adding on a 308
._.., _ ___-- -. =� i . . . _ .. .. . . _
Walters Variance Report
September 6, 2000
Page 2
square-foot addition to match the existing building and roof lines. The addition would
not increase the extent of the encroachment.
c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
The house was constructed at an angle and encroaches into the setback that was established
14 years after the home was built. The applicant is not responsible for this situation.
d. Tliat granting the variance requested will not confer on the applica�zt any special
privilege tlzat is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in
the same district.
The granting of this variance would not confer any special privileges to the applicant in
that the extent of the encroachment would not increase with this addition.
e. That the variance requested is the fnini�num variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
While it would be technically possible to construct the addition to meet the front setbacic
by offsetting the addition by iive feet, because of structural issues, internal room
configurations, existing landscaping and aesthetic issues, doing so would not be practical
or beneficial to the resident.
f. The variaT�ce would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
The purpose of the variance provision in the Code is to give relief to property owners
seeking to improve their properties yet are unable to do so because of zoning code
requirements and factors beyond their control. Granting this variance for additional
living space would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
g. The proposed varzance will not impair an adequate supply of light a�ad air to adjacent
property or substantzally increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminzsh or impair property
values within the neighborhood.
The proposed expansion would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor
would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property
values.
According to the City Code, all of the preceding criteria shall be satisfied in order to justify the
granting of a variance. It appears to staff that in this case all requirements are met and that a
hardship does exist.

August 9, 2000
TO: The Mounds View Planning Commission
RE: Variance request
On August 9�' while trying to obtain a Building Permit I learned that my single family
home at 25'S" from the front property line was within the 30' setbacic zoning ordinance.
Thus initiating this rec�uest.
When my home was constructed in 1946 I should be able to safely assume that it was set
back from the property line according to the standard at that time. I should also note that
three of the four houses that are not corner lots on the 8100 blocic of Edgewood are set
back at 25' rather than 30'. Was or is there a special setback for our blocic of 25 feet?
The addition that I have designed accommodates a couple of major issues. 1) The 10 feet
of foundation nearest to the proposed addition has only three courses of blocic below
grade with a 3 foot ledge and additional courses of blocic to malce a finished maximum
height of 5' — 11"(see drawing). With 8" ductworlc and 6" x 6" floor beams there are
several places with a height of 5' — 3". Rendering the space uninhabitable and virtually
useless. 2) The proposed design also continues the interior and exterior lines of the
house. This was done to malce the addition as unobtrusive as possible. We also wanted
an addition that is functional and aesthetically pleasing to our neighbors and us. This
addition will bring our above grade finished size to 1130 square feet, thus complimenting
the homes around us.
Redesigning the addition to not require a variance has several drawbacics. 1) Setting the
addition 5 feet back will make the addition an obvious afterthought that will talce away
from the curb appeal of the home and detract from the surrounding houses. 2) A 5-foot
design shift will also call for the removal of some large bushes and a large tree. These
items provide a natural barrier between my neighbors' bacic yard and my side yard. They
will then have an unobstructed view of the back of my house. They will feel as if I built
the addition on their decic. 3) Redesigning the addition would also require an extensive
amount of change to the existing structure. Our existing floor plan is not very open to
change. When space is at a premium in a small house there is not a lot of room for
reconfiguring of living spaces. And let's not forget about the load-bearing wall down the
middle of the house.
I hope that you are understanding of my concerns and will grant me a variance of my
front property line for a space of 5' by 14'.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Craig Walters

Resolution 631-00
September 6, 2000
Page 2
WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to
property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements imposes a hardship
thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical difficulties brought about by
unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's
control; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all
must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, SE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Plaruung Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the property
located at 8141 Edgewood Drive to warrant the approval of a variance for a 25-foot front yard
setback for a proposed house addition, and malces the following findings of fact related to its
decision:
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 8141 Edgewood Drive which do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity in that the home was
constructed in 1946, 2S feet from the street and 14 years before the adoption of Zoning
Code.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title.
3. The variance request is the result of factors over which the applicant has had no control.
4. Granting the variance to allow for a 25-foot front yard setback would allow the applicant
to malce improvements to his house consistent with the existing building a.nd roof lines.
Approval would not confer upon the property owner a special privilege denied to others
in the same district.
5. The Planning Commission finds that the requested 25-foot setback is the minimum
variance that would alleviate the applicant's hardship.
6. Granting a variance for a reduced front yard setback for the proposed house addition
would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the
same zone.
7. A 25-foot setback would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would it
increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.

Commission approves the variance request for a 25-foot front yard setback for a proposed house
expansion at 8141 Edgewood Drive, contingent upon the following:

City of Mounds Vie�v
Planning Commission laeport
Meeting Date: September 6, 2000
Title:
Introduction:
DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 632-00, A
RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE FOR A REDUCED SIDE-YARD
SETBACK REQUESTED BY JIM AND JUDY TRAPP AT 8018 SUNNYSIDE
ROAD.
Jim and Judy Trapp, property owners of 8018 Sunnyside Road, have applied for a variance to
encroach into the required side yard setback to allow for the construction of a deck and gazebo in
their rear yard. There is presently a deck in the rear yard three feet from the property line. The
Trapps would like to extend the deck an additional two feet (one foot from the property line) and
construct upon it a gazebo, also one foot from the property line.
While decks are currently allowed to be set back two feet from property lines, gazebos (which are
considered outdoor accessory buildings) are required to be set back five feet from a side or rear
property line.
Discussion:
For the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a demonstrated hardship or practical
difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal interpretation of the Code overly
burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing body
review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its decision in accordance with
these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City Code.
The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the criteria are met. The individual
criteria, with responses, are as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordina�y circumstances apply to the pf°oper�ty which do not apply
gene�ally to othef• properties in the sanze zone or vicinity and result from lot size vr shape,
topography or other ci�•cunrstances over whrch the owners of the property since the
effective date hereof have had no conh�ol.
In reviewing the plot plan supplied by the Trapps, it appears as though the proposed
location of the gazebo is the most convenient location given the adjacent pool and e�sting
deck. While the gazebo could be located elsewhere in the back yard, there would be no
direct access to it from the deck.

b. The liter•al interpt•etatiort of the provisions of this Titl.e would deprive the applicant of rights
commonly enjoyed by othe�� properties in the scrnae district under the terms of this Title.
The literal interpretation of the Code would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly
enjoyed by others in the district in that the setbacic requirements do not prohibit the
addition of the gazebo, only its requested location.
That the special conditions o�• circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
Because the Trapps are proposing the gazebo in that specific location and not another
location allowed by the Code, the Trapps--to some reasonable extent--are responsible for the
conditions which would necessitate the variance.
d. That gr•arrting the variance re�uested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege
that is denied by this Title to owne�s of other lands, structures o�• buildings in the same
Ci�1SlJ'ICI.
The granting of this variance would confer a special privilege to the applicants in that the
Trapps are responsible for the conditions which necessitate the variance.
e. That the variance r�equested is the minimunz variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
For the size of the gazebo being proposed and for the location, the variance requested
would be the minimum to alleviate the hardship in that there would be insufficient space
between the house and pool for the gazebo were the setback to be increased.
f. The variance woulcz' not be nraterially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
The purpose of the variance provision in the Code is to give relief to property owners
seeking to improve their properties yet are unable to do so because of zoning code
requirements and factors beyond their control. Granting this variance for a gazebo one
foot from the property line would be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to
other property in the same zone in that it would result in the gazebo being located less than
two feet from the neighbor's garage.
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adeguate supply of light arrd air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish prope�ty values.
While the gazebo would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, there is a
possibility that in its proposed location, it could increase the danger of fire or endanger the
public safety due to the minimal two-foot separation from the neighboring garage.

In accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the Mounds View Municipal Code, because it appears
that all of the preceding criteria have not been met, staff recommends denial of this variance
request.
Reconzmendation:
Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 632-00, a resolution
denying the variance request of Jim and Judy Trapp to construct a gazebo one foot from the north
property line of 8018 Sunnyside Road.

1. There does not appear to be any exceptional or extraordinary circumstances which would
apply to 8018 Sunnyside Road.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would not deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the
terms of this Title in that the gazebo could be located elsewhere in the back yard..
3. Granting a variance for the reduced setback for the gazebo would be materially detrimental
to the purpose of this Title.
4. The Trapps are responsible for the conditions which necessitate the approval of a variance.
5. The reduced setback could increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety.
NOW, THER.EFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission denies the variance request for a one-foot setback for a gazebo at 8018 Sunnyside
Road due to a lack of justifiable hardship.

Item # 7
City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: September 6, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION T ADD BU DING SE BACK VARIANC�ES FOR O rJyG A
pARKING LO
MEZZENGA, 7664 GREENFIELD AVENUE
Introduction:
Tony Mezzenga, representing the property owner Ernest Gustafson, is requesting approval of a
variance to construct a small, split-level office building on the undeveloped lot at the southwest
corner of County Road I and Greenfield Avenue. The variance is requested for reduced parking
lot and building setbacks.
This 13,068 square-foot property in terms of w atg an be developedTwhich has leftithe lot p to9
does present practical difficultie
this point unimproved.
County Road I is the second-most traveled roadway in the City. 1997 traffic counts show as
many as 8,700 vehicles use this part of County Road I on a daily basis and projections are such
that the volume is expected to increase as development progresses east of Interstate 35W.
This lot borders commercial property to the west (Tom Thumb and a Laundrom.at), high density
residential to the east, and low density residential to the south and north. The proposed office use
is consistent with the B-3 zoning designation and is a less intensive use which would fit well into
the predominately residential surroundings.
Discussion:
Staff has met with Mr. Mezzenga and Mr. Gustafson on numerous occasions in an effort to draft
a site plan that could be developed for the property. The size of the lot and the extent of the
setback requirements however are impediments toward that goal. In a B-3 district, the required
setbacks are as follows:
Buildin Setbacks
Abutting
Residential
Front 30 feet 30 feet
Side 10 feet * 20 feet *
Rear 20 feet * 40 feet
* Not less than 30 feet if abutting a street

Mezzenga Variance Report

The applicant has submitted a site plan for a 3,480 square-foot split-level office building with
2,975 square feet of usable office space. For that much area, the code requires provision of 20
parking stalls. To construct a building of that size and a parking lot to accommodate 20 vehicles,
variances would need to be approved to reduce the side and rear building setbacks from 20 feet to
10 feet and to reduce the parking lot setbacks from 30 feet and 20 feet to 4 feet and 15 feet.
For the Pla.nning Commission to act favorably, there must be a demonstrated hardship or
practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal interpretation of the Code
overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing
body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its decision in accordance
with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City
Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the criteria are met. The
individual criteria, with staff's interpretive responses, are as follows:
a. Exceptional or extraordinary crrcunzstances apply to the property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vrcinity and result from lot size or
shape, topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property since
the effective date hereof have had no control.
It can be said that the size of the lot is the single-most defining factor which constitutes a
hardship in this situation. At only 13,000 square feet, the lot does not offer much area
upon which to construct a viable commercial business. This situation is further
complicated by the fact that the parcel is a corner lot which demands greater setbacks
than would be required for an interior lot. Last, the development potential of the lot was
further reduced when the County took ten feet of the property (1,320 squaxe feet) for
additional right of way.
b. The lzteral interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title.
The literal interpretation could deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district because of the County-acquired 1,320 square feet, the large setbacks
and the size of the lot, the property owner has been unable to find a developer willing to
consider this parcel.
c. That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant.
The applicant and properiy owner are not responsible for this situation.
d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in
the same district.

Mezzenga Variance Report
September 6, 2000

The granting of this variance would not confer any special privileges to the applicant in
that this appears to be a very unique situation not applicable to many other properties
within the City. The applicant contends that in fact the reverse may be true, in that there
are many examples of reduced setbacks in the City, and that he should be afforded the
same consideration.
That the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
While it would be possible to construct a small office building and the associated
required parking on the site without the need for any variances, the resulting building
would be too small, according to the applicant, to make a viable development project.
From the applicant's perspective, the variance requested is the minimum variance to
alleviate the hardship.
f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
The purpose of the variance provision in the Code is to give relief to property owners
seeking to improve their properties yet are unable to do so because of zoning code
requirements and factors beyond their control. The Code requires that the parking lot be
set back twenty feet from any adjacent residential properties. This requirement was
added to the Code recently to protect the comfort, health, safety and well-being of
residents from busy non-residential parking lots. In this situation, granting a variance for
reduced building and parking lot setbacks would not be materially detrimental to the
purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone., as long as suitable buffering
and screening were utilized.
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the
danger of fire or endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair property
values within the neighborhood.
The reduced setbacks would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor
would it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property
values.
According to the City Code, all of the preceding criteria shall be satisfied in order to justify the
granting of a variance. While it appears to staff that in this case all requirements could be met
and that a hardship probably does exist, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, it must
find that all the criteria are satisiied.

Recommendation:
After reviewing the attached documentation and taking public testimony, staff is asking that the
Planning Commission direct staff to draft a resolution approving the variance either as requested
or as compromised, or to draft a resolution denying the variance request. If the Planning
Commission so chooses to approve the variance, staff has included a draft resolution which can
be acted upon as is or with any modifications as deemed necessary.

Resolution 633-00
September 6, 2000
Page 2
WHERCAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the }�roperty
located at 7664 Greenfield Drive to warrant the approval of a variance for a 10-foot building
setback and a 15-foot and 4-foot parking lot setback, and makes the following findings of fact
related to its decision:
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 7664 Greenfield Avenue which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity in that the development
potential of the lot is restricted by its size, by the County's acquisition and by corner lot
setback requirements.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title.
3. The variance request is the result of factors over which the applicant has had no control.
4. Granting the variance to allow for a reduced building and parking lot setbacks would
allow the applicant to convert the vacant lot to a viable commercial development.
Approval would not confer upon the property owner a special privilege denied to others in
the same district in that this situation is very unique and not applicable to other properties
in this district.
5. The Planning Commission finds that the requested setback reductions is the minimum
variance that would alleviate the applicant's hardship.
6. Granting a variance for reduced setbacks for the proposed office building would not be
materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone, as
long as suitable buffer and screening measures were implemented.
7. The reduced setbacks would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would
it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RE50LVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission approves the variance request for a 10-foot building setback and a 15-foot and 4-
foot parking lot setback for a proposed office building at 7664 Greenfield Avenue, as shown on
the site plan attached as Exhibit 1, and contingent upon the following:

1. The applicant shall arrange to have this resolution of approval recoded with Ramsey
County and provide proof of such recordation to the City within 60 days of the date of
approval, or this variance shall be rendered null and void.
2. The applicant shall apply for and receive approval of a development review for the
proposed office building consistent with and similar to Exhibit 1 within 6 months of the
approval of this resolution. Failure to apply for and receive approval of the development
review within the prescribed time-frame will render this variance null and void.

Item # 8
City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: September 6, 2000
Title: CONSIDERATION OF A MINOR SUBDIVISION OF PROPERTIES
LOCATED AT 2474 AND 2468 COUNTY ROAD H2, REQUESTED BY RTM
MANAGEMENT, INC.; MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE MI00-002
Introduction:
Raymond McManus, representing RTM Management, Inc. and the property owners, James
Kuphal and Danine and David Super, is requesting approval of a minor subdivision to subdivide
the rear 80 feet from 2474 and 2468 County Road H2 to create a buildable lot fronting Irondale
Road. Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres in size in which only
one additional lot is created.
The area of the proposed subdivision is zoned R-1, Single-Family Residential. The minimum lot
size in this district is 11,000 square feet for an interior lot and 12,500 square feet for a corner lot.
The property at 2474 County Road H2 is a corner lot. The comprehensive plan designates this
area as single-family detached.
The applicant has submitted a certificate of survey which describes the proposed subdivision.
Discussion:
The two existing lots on County Road H2 are 75 feet wide and 288 feet deep, both 21,600 square
feet in area. The proposed subdivision would create an 80-foot wide and 149-foot deep, 11,920
square-foot lot fronting Irondale Road. The new lot would conform to all zoning code
requirements and would be considered a buildable parcel. The two remaining lots--at 15,600
square feet--would satisfy the minimum lot size requirement.
Staff has forwarded the Certificate of Survey to the City's Engineering Technician as well as to
the Director of Public Works. Other than dedication of the perimeter utility easements, the
certificate of survey is in proper form. The City Attorney will review the Certificate of Survey
and any documenta.tion needed to record the subdivision with Ramsey County.
Last, this subdivision is subject to park dedication requirements. The 5% fee is based upon the
Ramsey County assessed land value of the land subdivided, less the value of any land already
improved with single-family residential dwellings. In this case, the fee would apply to the
11,920 square feet of land at an assessed value of $1.23 a square foot. The extrapolated value
for the lot would be $14,662, five percent of which would amount to a fee of $733. This fee
would need to be paid prior to the City approving the subdivision.

Planning Commission Report
Meetitlg Date: September 6, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERA.TION OF A DEVELOPMENT
REVIEW REQUEST FOR THE PROPOSED MERMAID PUD
CONSISTING OF A HOTEL AND BANQUET CENTER ADDITION TO
THE MERIVIAID ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX, 2200 HIGHWAY 10.
Plannang Case: PD00-002
flpplaeant: Dan Hall, Representing Mermaid, Inc.
Introduciion:
Dan Hall is requesting City approval of�tme� tel land a 500 se t banquet center to be attachedt o
Unit Development to construct a 96 ro
and integrated with the existing complex.
The concept of a hotel development and banquet center at the Mermaid is not a new one. The
owners of the Mermaid have for six years or more contemplated this type of expansion,
investigated potential partners and franchise opportunities._ Throughout this time, there have been
informal discussions with previous Councils and Planning Commissions regarding the potential for
this type of expansion. To sta�'s knowledge, the concept has always been favorably considered.
Mr. Hall has applied for tax increment financing (TIF) on the project, and on August 14, 2000,
the City Council approved modifications to the City's TIF plan which will allow for the future
approval of the Mermaid TIF assistance package.
I3ackground:
The development stage plan is the second stage of a planned unit development (PUD) process.
(The first stage is the general concept stage, which was approved by the City Council on August 14,
2000.) The development review stage is the more detailed, in-depth review of the site plans, which
are to include landscaping, drainage, grading, utilities, signage, elevations, floor plans, photometric
analysis, etc.) The final stage of the PUD is the administrative approval of the plans, PUD
Document, development agreement and any other documents associated with the proposed PUD.
The total area of the proposed PUD lst� Perk ns Parceol, Mus c�Off110 and the dry hold ng pond
Mermaid Parcels, the Rent-All parcel,
associated with the business park development. (The minimum requirement for a commercial
PUD is 5 acres.) The existing business park access drive from County Road H would be shifted
to the west to ma�mize the contiguous parking area for the proposed development.

The hotel is planned to be a four story, 96-unit AmericInn. Attached to the hotel would be a"water
park" which would offer in addition to a pool, a waterslide, hot tub, sauna, and a spacious lounge
area (the "plaza"). Attached to the hotel and the e�sting Mermaid facilities would be the 14,714
square foot banquet center, which would provide seating for as many as 500 people.
In addition to the PUD, the applicant has also applied for a major subdivision, which would
combine all of the subject properties into one platted parcel (presumably, Lot l, Block 1,
Mermaid Addition.) The preliminary plat for this request has not yet been submitted and thus will
not be contemplated at this meeting.
Develop�ient S`tage Review:
The Planning Commission has been provided with a set of plans date-stamped August 10, 2000,
for the proposed expansion. The plans include a preliminary site plan, a preliminary utility plan, a
preliminary grading plan, a proposed landscape plan, a floor plan, and a photometric analysis of
the site.
Dimensional Requiren�ents •
Parkin�: The site plan (Page C-2 of the submitted plans) indicates the proposed and anticipated
configuration of the development. As shown on this plan, a total of 975 parking stalls would be
required with the addition of the hotel and the banquet cer�ter. The plans indicate that a total of
961 spaces can be provided on the site, but only if the parking lot setbacks are reduced from the
B-3 zoning district-required 30 feet to five feet along Highway 10 and County Road H. Such a
reduction in the setback requirement is allowed via the PUD process, which explicitly states that a
purpose and intent of the PUD is to allow for variation from the provisions of the Zoning Code,
including setbacks, parking, height, lot area, etc. Because of the multiple complementary uses on
site (restaurant, sports bar, hotel, bowling lanes, hotel, banquet center) staff considers the 961
stalls to be adequate for the facility.
Parking lot setback• As mentioned above, the setback of the parking lot can be reduced via the
PUD process. Approaching this in the strictest sense, if the setbacks requirements were to be
enforced without deviation, as many as 175 parking stalls would be lost. The net effect of such a
loss would mean either the banquet center would be reduced in size and capacity by 50 percent or
more, or the hotel would need to be completely eliminated. Neither scenario would be feasible
based upon the already submitted cost and earnings projections. This setback configuration met
with the approval of both the Planning Commission and City Council at the concept stage of this
development.
Buildin� setbacks: The Building setbacks are different from point to point, but generally
speaking, the bowling area would remain unchanged at a minimum setback of 60 feet, the dining
and bar area would be more than 200 feet, the hotel addition would be a minimum of 100 feet,
while the banquet center would be setback 35 feet. All of these setbacks satisfy the current B-3
zoning requirements.

The proposed hotel expansion would be professionally designed to be aesthetically pleasing and
would tie in to the e�sting facility. The hotel addition would be constructed of prefabricated
concrete walls and would be finished with maintenance-free siding accentuated with sections of
Exterior Finish Insulation System (EFIS). A materials board will need to be submitted which
shows the exterior materials and colors to be used in the construction of the building additions.
Mr. Hall has discussed the probability of the existing mermaid statue being renovated and
relocated to another location either within or atop the building. Staff recorrunends that Mr. Hall
clarify the plans for the statue to ensure the end result would be consistent with what the City
would consider appropriate. Other than the relocated main entrance and the painting of the
existing exterior walls to match the new additions, no other changes to the existing building are
planned.
Si a e:
The applicant plans to retain the multi-colored electronic sign along Highway 10 and proposes
three additional signs along County Road H. The additional signage is indicated to be of a
monument design, which should be encouraged over a pylon type of sign. No details have been
provided for any of the proposed monument or building signage. Before the Planning
Commission can take action on the development review request, this will need to be submitted.
The applicant has indicated that the corner of the property_adjacent to Highway 10 and County
Road H would be reserved for the City to install a gateway entry sign. The site plans should be
revised to indicate this by showing a forty-foot triangular easement area at that corner of Highway
10 and County Road H. In addition, an easement docuinent will need to be executed by Mr. Hall
for county recordation purposes.
Landscaping:
The landscape plan submitted with the site plans indicates conceptual plantings of trees in the
parking lot islands and along the front of the building facing Highway 10. While any proposed
landscaping is an improvement over what is currently present on the site, the PUD requirements
stipulate that the landscape plan shall identify the specific types and numbers of plantings to be
utilized and shall be reviewed by the City Forester. In addition, stafF recommends that plantings
be incorporated into the courtyard area between the pool building and the hotel, assuming such
area is to be green-space. A revised landscape plan shall be resubmitted for Planning Commission
approval.
Trailwavs:
To comply with the proposed Comprehensive Plan and the Mounds View Trails and Sidewalk
Plan, the applicant shall be responsible for installing a bituminous trailway along its Highway 10
property frontage. As with the discussion concerning Walgreens, Dan Soler with Ramsey County
has verbally indicated that the trailway could be located within the Highway 10 right of way as
close to the iVlermaid property as possible. The site plan will need to be revised to show this.

A photometric analysis has been submitted in conjunction with the development stage plans. The
City Code requires that any lighting used to illuminate off-street parking be hooded to eliminate
glare on public streets. In addition, the light shall not exceed 1.0 footcandles at the centerline of
any adjoining street. It appears as though the footcandle readings comply with this requirement.
No specifications are indicated however regarding the light fixtures to be used or the height of the
light standards. This information will need to be submitted for consideration.
Staff has forwarded to the applicant the same lighting proposed for use on the Walgreens site,
including a graphic of the proposed ornamental lighting. As was required for the Walgreens
PUD, staff is recommending that the ornamental lighting be installed alongside the bituminous
trailway, spaced 125 feet apart. Thus, the site plan will need to be revised to show two
ornannental lights between the northerly property line and the northerly Highway 10 access drive,
two lights between the northerly Highway 10 access drive and the southerly Highway 10 access
drive, and two lights between the southerly Highway 10 access drive and fhe intersection of
Highway 10 and County Road H, Because the City is working with NSP to install these lights,
staff is suggesting that the applicant submit a payment directly to the City to cover the cost of
installation. Such amount would then be deducted form any required letter of credit or cash
surety involved with the financial guarantee of the public improvements.
Acce.ss:
The proposed site plan indicates two Highway 10 accesses and two County Road H accesses.
While this would not represent a change from the existing configuration, the two accesses serving
the Rent-A11 property would be eliminated. No new accesses, other than the relocated access to
the business park, are contemplated with this proposal. ,,..
Draina�e and Utilitv:
Staff and the City's engineei� have been working closely with the applicant and Rice
Creek Watershed Disn�ict to create a regional stormwater holding pond that would be
located partly on the Meh�o Waste Control property and partly on Edgewood Middle
School property. While the final drainage plans and use agreements are still being
drafted, all indications are that all pa.rties--including R.ice Creek Watershed District--will
approve the stormwater pi�oject. The Uenefits of this proposed stormwater pond are
immense, in that stormwater runoff from the Mermaid site currently drains un��eated
directly into Rice Creek.
Recommendation:
Review and discuss the proposed plans for development and direct the applicant to revise the plans
as follows:

The site plan shall be revised to show a nine-foot wide bituminous trailway constructed
within the Highway 10 right of way no more than five feet from the Mermaid property and
a 40' x 40' triangular sign easement area at the corner of Highway 10 and County Road H.
2. The site and lighting plans shall be revised to show the installation of six ornamental lights
along the trailway within the Highway 10 right of way as noted herein.
3. The lighting plan shall be revised to show the light fixture specifications and light standard
heights to be used for exterior parking lot illumination.
4. The applicant shall confirm and clarify the status and plans for the existing mermaid statue
currently atop the building.
The applicant shall provide detail for the proposed monument and building signage to be

7. An existing condition site plan shall be included with the development plans to indicate the
removal of the Perkins building and the removal of the two curb cuts serving the old rent
all site and associated restoration of the right of way.
8. As rec�uired by the Planned Unit Development sect�on of the City Code, the applicant shall
execute a development agreement pertaining to the Mermaid PUD, which will serve as the
guiding and controlling document for this development.
9. The landscape plan shall be revised to show the specific types and numbers of plantings to
be used within this development. The plan shall also show the addition of plantings in the
courtyard area between the pool and hotel structures. The landscape plan shall meet the
approval of the City Forester.
10. The applicant shall submit a materials board showing the exterior building materials to be
used on this development.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: Septembe� 6, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF A REQiJEST FOR AN EXTENSION
OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN ASSISTED LIVING SElVIOR
RESIDENTIAL FACII.,ITY LOCATED AT 2670 COLTNTY ROAD I, REQUESTED
BY MSP REAL ESTATE, INC.
Introduction:
On September 13, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution 5345 which approved of a
conditional use permit for a 46-room, two-level assisted living senior residential facility at 2670
County Road I. The applicant, MSP Real Estate, Inc., has not yet commenced construction of the
approved facility, and the site remains unimproved at this point.
Discussion:
Section 1125.01, Subd. 3f of the City Code states that "Whenever, within one year after granting a
conditional use permit, the work as pernutted by the pernut shall not have been completed, then such
permit shall become null and void unless a petition for e�ension of time in which to complete the work
has been granted by the City Council. Such e�ension shall be requested, in writing, and filed with the
City Clerk-Administrator at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the original conditional use
pernut." In addition, the Code states that a good faith attempt shall have been made by the applicant to
complete the work allowed for in the CUP.
Milo Pinkerton, representing MSP Real Estate, Inc., has requested such an extension, citing economic
and financial factors as the basis for the delay. He indicates that a one-year extension would give them
enough time to begin construction.
To refresh the Planning Commission's collective memory, staff is attaching a City Council report and
resolutions for both the conditional use permit and the development review, both of which had been
recommended for approval by the Planning Commission.
Recommendation:
Unless the Planning Commission feels strongly to the contrary, staff is recommending approval of
Resolution 636-00, a resolution recommending approval of the one-year e�ension for the
conditional use permit to construct a 46-room, two-story, assisted living senior residential facility
at 2670 County Road I.

Re: Extension of Conditional Use Permit
Ass�s�eci Liv�i�g Residence
2670 County Road I �
Dear Rick:
This letter is a request to extend our approved Conditional Use Permit on the above-
identified parcel of land. We feel we have an excellent use for this property, but we
need an extension to put all the final pieces together.
If you have followed the assisted living market, many large companies have gone out of
favor with the investment and lending communities; many markets are overbuilt (not
Mounds View), and it has been more difficult to get financing as a result.
We have goad lenders that can work with us, but, as a small company, we can only
borrow so many dollars at one time.
If we had a one-year extension, I am confident that we could start construction next
year.
I am available any time if you need further clarification.
Sincerely yours,
/��%"%�'�''w` �

Development Review for a Two-Story, 46-Room Senior Assisted
Living Facility at 2670 County Road I
Date of Report: November 9, 1999
Background:
The applicant, MSP Real Estate, has requested approval of a development review for a two-story
senior assisted living complex to be located at 2670 County Road I. The applicant has an
agreement to purchase this site from the property owner, M& E Realty. The Council approved
the conditional use permit for this development (Resolution No. 5345 attached for reference) and
the ordinance wluch rezoned the property from B-2, Limited Business Commercial, to R-4, High
Density Residential (Ordinance 631, also attached for your reference.) One of the requirements of

MSP Assisted Living Senior Residential Facility
Planning Case 559-99
November 15, 1999
Page 2
All of the dimensional and other zoning requirements (setbacks, building height, parking spaces,
etc.) are either met or exceeded with this proposal.
DrainaQe:
The applicant has subrrutted a drainage plan to which indicates runoff will either be absorbed into
the greenspace or directed across the parking lot and onto either Mounds View Drive or County
Road I. There are two storm sewer catch basins near the intersection o£Mounds View Drive and
County Road I to which any runoff will flow. This drainage plan has been reviewed and approved
by Mike Ulrich, Director of Public Works. Because the site is under two acres, Rice Creek
Watershed District approval will not be necessary.
Landsca�e Plan:
In Section 1103.08 of the City Code pertaining to fencing, screening and landscaping, it states that
the lot area remaining after providing for off-street parking, sidewalks, driveway, building and other
requirements shall be planted and maintained in grass, sodding, shrubs or other acceptable �
vegetation or materials generally used in landscaping. The applicant has submitted a landscape plan
which has been forwarded to the City Forester for comment. After review, Forester Wriskey
suggested that changes be made with regard to a few of the listed species, which has since been
done. The landscape plan included with your packet is the version approved by Mr. Wriskey.
Parki� and Access:
There are 31 parking stails shown on the site plan, the amount required in the approved conditional
use permit. Two of the stalls are handicap-accessible, which satisfies ADA requirements. There
are two accesses to this site, one on County Road I and the other from Mounds View Drive. The
Planning Commission discussed at great length these two access points, and after significant
discussion, recommended that the access to and from County Road I be marked as right-in, right-.
out only, to prohibit any attempted dangerous cross-over access from the west-bound lane of
County Road I. No restrictions were placed on the Mounds View Drive access.
Utilities and Easements
Utilities are available to this site and no easements will need to be dedicated for this project. There
is an existing utility easement along Mounds View Drive in which the telephone and gas lines are
buried. A storm sewer is located on the site in the County Road I right of way. There is one fire
hydrant located on the site, and one hydrant across the street from the lot on Mounds View Drive.
The Fire Marshal has indicated that because the building will be sprinklered, the two existing
hydrants would be sufiicient for purposes af fire protection.
i a e:
The applicant indzcates that the specifications for the site signage have not yet been cornpleted thus
there is nothing to present to the Council in this regard. The Planning Commission in their
resolution recommending appraval required only that any proposed signage be in compliance v�rith
the City Code and the approved CUP, which allowed for 32 squaxe feet of signage, not including
any incidental signs, such as directional signage.

The parking lot will be illuminated by four light standards, each 21 feet tall with hooded 350-watt
bulbs directed toward the lot. The entrance canopy will have six recessed 70-watt reflector bulbs
and the side entrance will have two bollard-type lights along the sidewalk. (The applicant has
provided lighting specs for the fixtures proposed, included with this report.) No other lighting is
proposed. The Lighting plan and photometric analysis date-stamped 10/8/99 (not included)
showed that the footcandle readings are all within the required limits. Staffwill have on hand a
copy of the lighting plan and photometric analysis at your meeting.
�eneral Site Plan Issues
The site plan shows the proposed location for the dumpster area--noted only as "trash". Included
with this report, separate from the site plans, is a more detailed illustration which shows the
construction details of the enclosure.
Recommendation:
Given the fact that this project meets all dimensional criteria and requirements and that there are
no outstanding or unresolved issues, and considering the Planning Commisston's recommendation
of approval, staffis recommending that the Council approve this development review request for
MSP Real Estate. Council Resolution No. 5385 is attached for your action if so desired.

(4) The character of the surrounding area.
(5) The demonstrated need for such use.
and makes the following findings concerning same:
The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as Mixed Use PUD, which would be consistent
with the proposed R-4 zoning of this site. Such a facility would help nn.eet the housing needs
of a particular segment of the community. The property is located between commercial sites
to the north and a high density residential development and park to the south. The proposed
use would act as a buffer between the existing land uses. The proposed style and architectural
design of the proposed facility would blend into and add character to this area.

criteria for CUP approval in Subdivision 1125.01 (2) have been met:
(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public

public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
(2) The use will be su£ficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value arid there will be
no deterrence to development of vacant land. �
This development, while not abutting any residential property, would be suf�ciently
compatible with the existing land uses and would not cause any foreseeable depreciation rn
neighboring property values.

residential properties. -
The architectural rertderings presented to the Planning Commission and public show a well
designed and aesthetically pleasing building. �

to the e�sting land use.
The demand for assisted living facilities such as the one proposec� is growing to
accommodate an aging population.

Motion carried. �`'
Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 630-00, a Resolution Recomrnending Approval of a
Minor Subdivision for Leo & Patricia Bergeleen, 8132 Long Lalce Road.
Leo and Patricia Bergeleen, the applicants, and Bob Pearson, their neighbor, were present.
Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
Leo Bergeleen has applied for a minor subdivision to subdivide his lot located at 8132 Long Lalce
Road and has submitted a Certificate of Survey to effectuate the subdivision. The subdivided
portion would not be used for development purposes, but would instead be combined with a
property fro��ting Sherwood Road. In essence, this is a simple land transaction whereby one
property owner deeds part of his lot to another property owner. No new lot would be created by
this action. However, because a change in property lines is involved, the City is required to
approve the action, which is defined as a subdivision of land.
The existing lot to be subdivided is approximately 49,673 square feet, or, 1.13 acres, is zoned R-
1, Single Family Residential, and conforms to all the City's lot requirements. It is 496.73 feet
deep and 100 feet wide: Mx. Bergeleen proposes to split off the back 300 feet of the property and
has entered into an arrangernent to sell this subdivided portion to a neighbor, Bob Pearson,
located at 2565 Sherwood Road. Mr. Pearson is planning to combine Mr. Bergeleen's rear 300
feet to his own property, thus no new lot would be created. After the subdivision and land
transfer, Mr. Bergeleen's lot would be 19,770 square feet.
Staff has forwarded the Certificate of Survey to the City's Engineering Technician as well as to
the Director of Public Worlcs. Other than dedication of the westerly 30-foot of the subdivided for
roadway purposes, no changes or special requirements are being made. Typically, it is the case
with most minor subdivisions that the City would require dedication of perimeter drainage and
utility easement areas. However, because both lots have already been developed and no new
development is being proposed, dedication of new easements would not be needed. The City
Attorney will review the Certificate of Survey and any documentation needed to record the
subdivision with Ramsey County.

Regular Meeting Page 3
Last, most subdivisions, minor or major, are subject to park dedication requirements. This
request is unique in that, again, no new lot is being created and no new development will occur.
Staff has indicated to Mr. Bergeleen and Mr. Pearson that because of this, no dedication would
be required in this instance. (Section 1204.02 Sub. 3 of the Municipal Code exempts land
improved with single-family dwellings.) However, if the property were ever split and developed
into new lots, a park dedication fee would be required at that time.
Planner Ericson stated staff is recommending approval of the proposed Resolution 630-00, a
resolution recommending approval of the requested minor subdivision of 8132 Long Lake Road,
with two stipulations. The first stipulation is to require the land subdivided from the Bergeleen's
parcel to be immediately combined with the parcel located at 2565 Sherwood Road, owned by
Bob Pearson. Proof of combination shall be submitted to the City of Mounds View within 30
days of City Council approval. The second stipulation is that the applicant shall record the City
Council resolution of approval, the Certificate of Survey, and the right-of-way dedication
document (if required) with Ramsey County within 30 days of iinal adoption and present proof of
such recording to the City of Mounds View. Failure to record these docuinents or provide proof
of such recordation would cause this approval to be null and void.
Chair Peterson commented that this is a very straight forward request.
Commissioner Stevenson stated his concurrence.
MOTION/SECOND: Miller/Thomas to approve Resolution 630-00, a Resolution
Recommending Approval of the Requested Minor Subdivision of 8132 Long Lalce Road.
Ayes — 6 Nays - 0 Motion carried.
Planner Ericson advised that this will be considered by the Council on August 28, 2000.
6. Staff Reports / Items of Information
A. Previous Council Actions
Planner Ericson reported on previous Council actions. He advised that the Council approved
emergency Ordinance 667, a revision to Ordinance 653 which created a moratorium on tattoo
and body piercing establishments, to extend the moratorium by another three months. This
additional tiine will allow for further research and, if adopted on August 28th' there would be no
gap between when the moratorium ends and the new ordinance is effective. The Council also
accepted the resignation of Council Member Lyiuie Thomason which will be effective November
7, 2000. Planner Ericson advised the Council has authorized hiring of Kathleen Miller as the
new City Administrator and she will start on September 18, 2000. On August 14, 2000 Council

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: September 13, 2000
Title: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 633-00, A RESOLUTION APPROVING
VARIANCES TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF AN OFFICE BUILDING AT
7664 GREENFIELD AVENUE, REQUESTED BY TONY MEZZENGA.
Introductaon:
Tony Mezzenga, representing the property owner Ernest Gustafson, is requesting approval of a
variance to construct a small, split-level office building on the undeveloped lot at the southwest
corner of County Road T and Greenfield Avenue. The variance is requested for reduced parking lot
and building setbacks, a reduced parking ratio, reduced driveway separation and reduced parking
lot width. While not required to do so, staff again sent notices to the property owners within 350
feet of 7664 Greenfield Avenue regarding this meeting to ensure neighborhood awareness.
Background:
This 13,068 square-foot property is zoned B-3, Highway Business. The size of the lot and
corner-lot setbacks present practical difficulties in terms of what can be developed, which has left
the lot up to this point unimproved. This lot borders commercial property to the west (Tom
Thumb and a Laundromat), high density residential to the east, and low density residential to the
south and north. The proposed office use is consistent with the B-3 zoning designation and is a
less intensive use which would fit well into the predominately residential surroundings.
Public Hearing:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this proposal at its last meeting on
September 6, 2000. Numerous residents attended the meeting, some of whom expressed concern
regarding the proposal and the existing condition of the vacant lot and the Tom Thumb store. In
summary, the general concerns were as follows:
• Cut-through pedestrian traffic
• Littering and graffiti, lighting and fencing
• Reduced visibility
• Traff'ic Congestion
• Inappropriate zoning designation
In response to these concerns, staff recognizes that there are issues regarding the lot in its present,
undeveloped state. The property owner has indicated that people are cutting across his lot to go
to the adjacent Tom Thumb store, and in so doing, have worn a deep path through the lot. There
also seems to be a constant accumulation of litter on the lot which at times becomes quite
unsightly. Development of this lot would greatly reduce if not eliminate both of these problems.

Mezzenga Vanance Report
September 6, 2000
Page 2
While completely unrelated to the requested variance application, staff has inspected the Tom
Thumb store and is working with the management to address recurring graffiti problems. The
problem however is not limited to Tom Thumb or this area. At this time, the building and fence is
free from any graffiti and the grounds are free from litter and debris.
Regarding visibility, one resident expressed concern that the view from his home would be blociced
by the construction of a building or fence on the vacant lot. While this may be true, development on
the vacant lot cannot be denied to preserve this view. Staffwould encourage the residents to be
involved in the site plan review stage of the development, at which time consideration would be
given to landscaping and fences and other physical site improvements such as lighting.
Concerning the issue of traffic congestion, staff acknowledges that County Road I carries a
significant volume of tra�°ic and while a curb cut onto County Road I would not improve traffic
flow, stafffirmly believes that the anticipated daily vehicle trips to this property would be minimal
so as to not cause any unreasonable congestion. Assuming a peak of ten vehicle trips per hour, a
car would be entering or e�ting the parking lot less than once every five minutes. At that rate,
vehicle safety and traffic flow would not be compromised.
Last, regarding the present zoning of the property, as indicated at the Planning Commission's last
meeting, the commission members examined this lot and its zoning during the comprehensive plan
update. The commission determined that a residential development would not be appropriate on
this site, even though it borders residential on three sides. Given its frontage on County Road I,
the amount of traffic and the adjoining commercial use, the Planning Commission chose to
maintain the commercial land-use designation, considering business/commercial to be the most
feasible and appropriate future use.
P�rking:
The applicant has submitted a site plan for a 3,480 square-foot split-level office building with 2,975
square feet of usable office space. For that much area, the code requires provision of 20 parking
stalls. To construct a building of that size and a parking lot to accommodate the 20 vehicles,
variances would need to be approved to reduce the side and rear building setbacks from 20 feet to
10 feet and to reduce the parking lot setbacks from 30 feet and 20 feet to 4 feet and 15 feet.
The Planning Commission inquired about the number of stalls, and if the applicant felt the parking
requirement to be adequate or excessive. Mr. Mezzenga replied that twenty spaces were excessive,
given the small size of the building. Staff agreed that the requirement may be more than what is
needed and offered to provide the Planning Commission with office parking requirements from
other municipalities. Staff referred to the Of� Street Parking Requirements publication, published
by the American Planning Association. Of the nine examples given, none required more parking for
an office use than does Mounds View. The range went from one space per 200 square feet to one
space per 750 square feet. The most common ratio was one space per 250 square feet of gross
floor area. Applying the 1 per 250 ratio to the proposed 3,480 square foot building results in the
need for 14 spaces. Given that, staff drafted a site plan based on the 3,480 square foot building and
a parking lot to accommodate 14 vehicles. This site plan is attached as E�ibit A.

Mezzenga Variance Report
Septembei- 6, 2000
Page 3
Site Plan:
The site plan attached as Exhibit A differs from what was originally proposed by Mr. Mezzenga in
that the building and parking lot have essentially traded places. The new site plan ma�mizes
green-space while minimizing the parking area. With six less stalls and a reduction in the drive
aisle width, more pervious surface area can be set aside for landscaping and grass. The building
setback from Greenfield Avenue is 30 feet, which complies with the Zoning requirements.
Because of the small lot size, however, variance are still necessary. The variances contemplated
by the proposed site plan are as follows:
• 9' reduction in front yard building setback
• 14' reduction in front yard parking lot setback
• 18' reduction in driveway separation requirement
• 2' reduction in parking lot width requirement
• 6 space reduction in number of parking stalls required
i�ariance:
For the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a demonstrated hardship or practical
diiiiculty associated with the property that makes a literal interpretation of the Code overly
burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing body
review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its decision in accordance with
these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City Code.
Given the reconfigured site plan, staff believes that the variances requested are the minimum to
alleviate the hardship and believes the hardship test has been met and that there are clear and
demonstrable practical difficulties associated with this lot which makes development prohibitively
restrictive.
Recommendation:
Staff is recommending approval of the variances requested by Tony Mezzenga to construct an
office building at 7664 Greenfield Drive, with stipulations.

(PERTAINING TO OFF-STREET PARKING REQUIREMENTS) OF THE MOUNDS
VIEW ZONING CODE, FOR AN OFFIC� BUILDING AT 7664 GREENFIELD
AVENU�; MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE VR00-007.
WHEREAS, The applicant, Tony Mezzenga, representing the property owner Ernest
Gustafson, has applied for a variance to allow for the construction of a 3,480 square-foot, split-
level office building at 7664 Greenfield Avenue, property zoned B-3, Highway Business, and
legally-described as follows:

documents regarding this proposal:
1. Planning Application
2. Zoning Map
3. Location Map
4. Site Plan
5. Letter from the Applicant
6. Off-Street Parking Requirements
7. Staff Report
WHER�AS, a public hearing was held regarding this variance request on Wednesday,
September 6, 2000; and,
WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to
property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements imposes a hardship
thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical difficulties brought about by
unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's
control; and,

WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFOR�, B� IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the property
located at 7664 Greenfield Drive to warrant the approval of a variance for a 21-foot front yard
building setback, a 16-foot front yard parking lot setback, a 24-foot driveway separation, a 61-
foot parking lot width, and a"one space per 250 square feet" off-street parking requirement; and
makes the following findings of fact related to its decision:
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to 7664 Greenfield Avenue which do not
apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity in that the development
potential of the lot is restricted by its size, by the County's acquisition and by corner lot
setback requirements.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this
Title.
3. The variance request is the result of factors over which the applicant has had no control.
4. Granting the variances would allow the applicant to convert the vacant lot to a viable
commercial development. Approval would not confer upon the property owner a special
privilege denied to others in the same district in that this situation is very unique and not
applicable to other properties in this district.
5. The Planning Commission finds that the requested variances to be the minimum variances
that would alleviate the applicant's hardship.
6. Granting a variances for the proposed office building would not be materially detrimental
to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone.
7. The variances would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would it
increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.
NOW, TFIEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission approves the variance request for a Z1-foot front yard building setback, a 16-foot
front yard parking lot setback, a 24-foot driveway separation, a 61-foot parking lot width, and a
"one space per 250 square feet" off-street parking requirement for the proposed office building at
7664 Greenfield Avenue, as shown on the site plan attached as Exhibit A, and contingent upon

necessary when using tax increment financing is a`TIF Plan.' As part the process of amending
TIF' Plans, it is required that the Planning Connmission review the plans to determine their
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. On a general level, TIF Plans serve to
broadly articulate goals and objectives for the TIF district. The TIF Plan also includes a budget
for the expenditure of TIF funds generated as a result of the project.
Economic Development Coordinator Parrish noted that a copy of the TIF Plan xnodification and
Resolution 627-00 Concerning the Mounds View Economic Development Authority's Economic
Development Project and Tax Increment Financing Proposals has been provided for the
Commission's consideration.

Commissioner Laube aslced if these documents apply only to The Meimaid. Economic
Development Coordinator Parrish stated that is correct, they are specific to The Mermaid.
Chairperson Peterson inquired regarding the specific dollar amounts and aslced if an amendment
would be needed should the numbers change. Economic Development Coordinator Parrish
explained these documents contain estimated costs and the final documents will contain an actual
budget.
Commissioner Miller aslced if there is an estimated completion date. Economic Development
Coordinator Parrish explained they are attempting to receive development approval and it
appears the earliest they could break ground is September to October and the tentative opening
date is sometime late next year.
Commissioner Laube inquired regarding the iinpact on the City's bond rating. Economic
Development Coordinator Parrish explained there is only a limited effect on the City's ability to
bond for general improvement projects since the revenue occurring in the TIF fund would not
occur "but for" these projects. Also, this is a pay-as-you-go project with no revenue bonds issued
by the City on behalf of the developer.
Chairperson Peterson aslced if the plan remains consistent with what the Planning Commission
considered previously. Economic Development Coordinator Parrish stated there have been no
revisions.
Chaiiperson Peterson commented that this consideration is more of a formality based on what
was determined during the Comprehensive Plan discussions. Economic Development
Coordinator Parrish stated that is correct.
Commissioner Kaden asked about the financial stability of The Mermaid and the reason TIF is
involved. Economic Development Coordinator Parrish explained the theory is that "but for" the
assistance being provided, the project would not proceed. He explained staff has been worlcing
with The Mermaid for several years and to determine what amount would be needed to move the
project forward. The anticipated revenues to be received by The Mermaid will be turned into
equity for their project:'' Economic Development Coordinator Parrish stated if TIF was not given,
this project would not proceed as proposed today.
` Comrnunity Development Director Joplce stated it is the Council's decision whether or not to
approve this type of TIF financing and if this is the minimum amount that should be put towards
this project. He explained that as part of the application process, The Mermaid is required to
provide those numbers to the City.
Commissioner Kaden stated it appears it is assumed this project is considered to be �nancially
feasible. Community Development Director Jopke stated this project has undergone a substantial
financial analysis and they have determined the amount needed from TIF to successfully move
the project forward.

6. Review of Ordinance 665, an Ordinance Rezoning the Properties Associated with the
Walgreens PUD, and Ordinance 666, an Ordinance Vacating the Old Edgewood Drive
Right of Way.
Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
At the July 19t�' meeting, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 623-00, a resolution
which recommended to the City Council approval of the Walgreens development review stage of
their PUD, the prelimina.iy plat, the rezoning, and the vacation of the old Edgewood Drive right
of way. Staff felt it should provide copies of these ordinances to the Commission for review
purposes, even though the Commission has already recommended their approval.
He noted the City Attorney has provided copies of these two ordinances and explained that no
additional action is required at this time other than to review the ordinances and provide any
feedback to staff. The City Council is scheduled to hold second reading and adoption of the two
ordinances on August 28, 2000.
Chairperson Peterson stated proposed Ordinance No. 666 vacates a portion of Edgewood Drive
and proposed Ordinance No. 665 approves a rezoning of parcels from PF (Public Facilities
District) and B-3 (Highway Business District) to PUD (Planned Unit Development District).
No cornments or objections were interposed regarding proposed Ordinance Nos. 665 or 666.

Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 629-00, a Resolution Recommending
Approval of Proposed Ordinance 663, an Ordinance Creating Language to Administer
and Regulate Tattoo and Body Piercing Establishments.
Planning Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
As the Planning Commission is aware, the Mounds View Municipal Code does not at this tirne
address tattoo or body piercing establishments. In order to adequately research this issue, the
City Council adopted interim Ordinance 653 on Februaiy 14, 2000, which prohibits any tattoo
shops of body piercing establishments to be located in the City for a period of six months. The
six-month period will expire on August 14, 2000. It is expected that the Council will call to
order at their worlcsession on August 7, 2000, to extend the moratorium for an additional three
months.
With the assistance of the city attorney, staff has drafted an ordinance which creates licensing
provisions and zoning allowances for such uses. Staff would request the Planning Commission
review the entirety of the ordinance paying especially close attention to those provisions
concerning the Zoning Code.
In addition to creating licensing requirements, the ordinance is drafted to allow such uses in the
B-2, B-3, and B-4 business zoning districts. They would be allowed unconditionally (i.e., no
conditional use permit would be required) so long as certain specific requirexnents were satisfied.
Staff has made the corrections requested by the Planning Commission and recornmends approval
of Resolution 629-00, a Resolution Recommending City Council Approval of Ordinance 663.
Commissioner Miller noted that Page.l l, Section 2, refers to underlined language, however, no
language is underlined. Plaruling Associate Ericson stated all of Subdivision 3 should be
underlined and that correction would be made.
Commissioner Kaden nofed a paragraph on Page 1 where the words "City of Mounds View"
should be capitalized. Planning Associate Ericson stated that correction would be made.
MOTION/SECOND: Laube/Miller to approve Resolution 629-00, a Resolution Recommending

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: October 4, Z000
Title: DISCUSSION AND RECONSIDERATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT
STAGE PLANS FOR THE PROPOSED MERMAID PUD CONSISTING
OF A HOTEL AND BANQUET CENTER ADDITION TO THE
MERMAID ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX, 2200 HIGHWAY 10.
Planning Case: PD00-002
Applicant: Dan Hall, Representing Mermaid, Inc.
Irctroduction:
Dan Ha�l is seeking City approval of revised development stage plans for the proposed Planned
Unit Development to construct a 70-room hotel and a 500-seat banquet center to be attached to
and integrated with the existing complex.
On September 6, 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of a set of
development stage plans date-stamped August 10, 2000. Prior to City Council review, however,
the plans were amended to such a degree that reapproval by the Planning Commission was
deemed necessary. The City Council is scheduled to review the revised plans on October 9, 2000,
for which a public hearing has been set.
Discussion:
There are a number of changes contemplated by the revised development stage plans from what the
Planning Cotrunission originally recommended for approval on September 6'j'. The most noticeable
change is that the hotel has been scaled back to three stories and 70 rooms from the initial four-
story, 96-room plan and that the Perkins site is no longer a component of the Mermaid expansion.
(It has been proposed that the restaurant building will be converted to an office use.) The water
park, which was a separate building located in the hotel courtyard, is now shown to be attached to
the east wing of the hotel, replaced with parking in the courtyard area.
The total area of the revised PUD is approximately 9.36 acres, which includes the three existing
Mermaid Parcels, the Rent-All parcel, Music Off 10 and the dry holding pond associated with the
business park development. (The minimum requirement for a commercial PUD is 5 acres.) The
existing business park access drive from County Road H would be shifted to the west to maximize
the contiguous parking area for the proposed development.

Development Stage Revaew:
The Planning Commission has been provided with a set of plans date-stamped September 28,
2000, for the proposed expansion. The plans include a preliminary site plan, a preliminary utility
plan, a preliminary grading plan, a preliminary landscape plan, an existing conditions plan, an
overall floor plan, exterior elevations, an enlarged banquet floor plan, hotel floor plans, and a
revised photometric analysis of the site.
Dimensional RequiYements:
Parkin�: The site plan (Page C-2 of the submitted plans) indicates the proposed and anticipated
configuration of the development. As shown on this plan, a total of 828 parking stalls would be
required with the addition of the hotel and the banquet center. The plans indicate that a total of
832 spaces can be provided on the site, but only if the parking lot setbacks are reduced from the
B-3 zoning district-required 30 feet to five feet along Highway 10 and County Road H. Such a
reduction in the setback requirement is allowed via the PUD process, which explicitly states that a
purpose and intent of the PUD is to allow for variation from the provisions of the Zoning Code,
including setbacks, parking, height, lot area, etc.
Parking lot setback: As mentioned above, the setback of the parking lot can be reduced via the
PUD process. Approaching this in the strictest sense, if the setbacks requirements were to be
enforced without deviation, as many as 175 parking stalls would be lost. The net effect of such a
loss would mean either the banquet center would be reduced in size and capacity by 50 percent or
more, or the hotel would need to be completely eliminated. Neither scenario would be feasible
based upon the already submitted cost and earnings projections. This setback configuration nnet
with the approval of both the Planning Commission and City Council at the concept stage of this
development.
Buildin� setbacks: The Building setbacks are different from point to point, but generally
speaking, the bowling area would remain unchanged at a minimum setback of 60 feet, the dining
and bar area would be more than 200 feet, the hotel addition would be a minimum of 100 feet,
while the banquet center would be setback 50 feet. All of these setbacks satisfy the current B-3
zoning requirements.
Buildin� Desi�rr.� The proposed hotel expansion would be professionally designed to be
aesthetically pleasing and would tie in to the existing facility. The hotel addition would be
constructed of prefabricated concrete walls and would be finished with maintenance-free siding
accentuated with sections of Exterior Finish Insulation System (EFIS). A materials board has
been submitted and will be available for viewing at the meeting. Other than the relocated main
entrance and the painting of the existing exterior walls to match the new additions, no other
changes to the e�sting building are planned.
Si a e: The applicant plans to retain the multi-colored electronic sign along Highway 10 and
proposes three directional signs along County Road H. The additional signage is indicated to be
of a monument design, which should be encouraged over a pylon type of sign. Refer to Figure 1
on the following page for an example of the proposed directional monunnent signage. The

applicant proposes four building signs total; one for the AmericInn (Figure 2), one for the
Mermaid Nightclub (Figure 3), one for the Mermaid Restaurant and one for the Mermaid Lanes.

The applicant has indicated that the corner of the property adjacent to Highway 10 and County
Road H would be reserved for the City to install a gateway entry sign. The site plans have been
revised to indicate this easement area. A separate easement document will need to be executed
by Mr. Hall and recorded with the Ramsey County to malce it official.

Under the B-3 zoning provisions, the amount of signage that would be allowed for this
development would be limited to 340 square feet for a pedestal sign and 100 square feet for each
building occupant. Given the five uses within the building (hotel, bowling lanes, restaurant, night
club and banquet center) a total of 840 square feet of signage could be allowed. The Mermaid
has an e�cisting 162 syuare-foot, multi-colored, electronic changing message pedestal sign along
Highway 10 which would bring the total signage on the site to 1,011 square feet. Stafffeels the
directional monument signs to be a necessary component of the signage package yet considers the
amount of signage devoted to the Mermaid uses to be excessive. Staff recommends that the total
amount of signage on the property—including the existing pedestal sign--be limited to 850 square
feet.
Landscaping: The landscape plan submitted with the site plans indicates conceptual plantings of
trees in the parking lot islands and along the front of the building facing Highway 10. While any
proposed landscaping is an improvement over what is currently present on the site, the PUD
requirements stipulate that the landscape plan shall identify the specific types and numbers of
plantings to be utilized and shall be reviewed by the City Forester. The plan indicates the
planting of 25 deciduous trees and 4 coniferous trees with additional unnamed plantings in the
courtyard area. Staff will seek input from the City Forester as to appropriate species from those
listed and for any other suggestions to improve the landscape plan.
Trailways: To comply with the proposed Comprehensive Plan and the Mounds View Trails and
Sidewalk Plan, the applicant shall be responsible for installing a bituminous trailway along its
Highway 10 property frontage. As with the discussion concerning Walgreens, Dan Soler with
Ramsey County has verbally indicated that the trailway could be located within the Highway 10
right of way as close to the Mermaid property as possible. The site plan shows the trailway
extending north beyond the project area in front of the Perkins site. While Perkins is no longer
part of the PUD, staf�' would recommend that the trailway and lighting remain as shown on the
plan.
Lighting: A photometric analysis has been submitted in conjunction with the development stage
plans. The City Code requires that any lighting used to illuminate off street parking be hooded to
eliminate glare on public streets. In addition, the light shall not exceed 1.0 footcandles at the
centerline of any adjoining street. It appears as though the footcandle readings comply with this
_ _ _ _ _ _ i_ . _ . . _ _ �, _. - _ � �_ _=____ _ .
Mermaid Report

requirement. The applicant intends to utilize the existing parking lot lighting where possible with
the addition of new light fixtures at the southern end of the building. No specifications were
provided for the proposed new lighting. The site plan does indicate the location of six decorative
lights along the Highway 10 trailway. Because the City is working with NSP to install these
lights, staff is suggesting that the applicant submit a payment directly to the City to cover the cost
of installation. Such amount would then be deducted form any required letter of credit or cash
surety involved with the financial guarantee of the public improvements.
Access: The proposed site plan indicates two Highway 10 accesses and two County Road H
accesses. While this would not represent a change from the existing configuration, the two
accesses serving the Rent-All property would be eliminated. No new accesses, other than the
relocated access to the business park, are contemplated with this proposal. The northern
Highway 10 access is actually located on the Perkins-property, although there is a joint use
agreement filed regarding the access.
Drazna�e and Lltilitv: Staff and the City's engineer have been working closely with the
applicant and Rice Creek Watershed District to create a regional stoimwater holding pond
that would be located pal�tly on the Met�•o Waste Cont�•ol property and paxtly on
Edgewood Middle School property. While the final drainage plans and use agreements
are still being drafted, all indications are that all parties--including Rice Creek Watershed
Disri�ict--will approve the stoimwater project. The benefits of this proposed stormwatei•
pond would be immense, in that stormwater runoff from the Mei�naid site cwrently
drains untreated directly into Rice Creek.
Recommendation:
Review and discuss the revised development stage plans and consider action on Resolution 637-00,
a resolution reapproving the development stage plans for the proposed Mermaid PUD subject to
the following stipulations:
1. The lighting plan shall be revised to show the light fixture specifications and light standard
heights to be used for the new exterior building and parking lot illumination.
2. The total building, monument and pedestal signage to be used on the development shall be
limited to 850 square feet.
3, The applicant shall execute a sign easement document which dedicates to the City the area
to be used for a gateway sign at the corner of Highway 10 and County Road H.
4. As required by the Planned Unit Development section of the City Code, the applicant shall
execute a development agreement pertaining to the Mermaid PUD, which will serve as the
guiding and controlling document for this development.
5. The landscape plan shall be further revised to show the specific types and numbers of
plantings to be used within this development and shall be approved by the City Forester.

Planner Ericson gave the Staff report as follows:
Craig Walters, property owner of 8141 Edgewood Drive, has applied for a variance to encroach
into the front yard setback to allow for the construction of a 308 square-foot addition onto the
north side of his house. The house, which was constructed in 1946, was built at an angle on the

lot and is setback 24 feet from Edgewood Drive. The proposed addition would match the
existing building and roof lines to maximize interior functionality and for aesthetic appeal.
For the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a demonstrated hardship or
practical difficulty associated with the property that malces a literal interpretation of the Code
overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing
body review a set of specified criteria for each application and malce its decision in accordance
with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City
Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the criteria are met.
Planner Ericson presented the seven criteria and Staff's response to each as outlined in his report.
He explained that according to the City Code, all of.the preceding criteria shall be satisfied in
order to justify the granting of a variance. He indicated that it appeat•s to Staff that in this case all
requirements are met and that a hardship does exist. Staff is recorrunending that the Planning
Commission approve Resolution 631-00, a resolution approving a variance for a reduced front
yard setback to allow for the construction of a 308 square-foot addition at 8141 Edgewood Drive,
as requested by Craig Walters.
Chairperson Peterson opened the public hearing at 7:08 p.m. .-.
The applicant did not add any comrrients.
Milce Doss of 2416 Laporte stated he lives just north of the applicant and aslced why there was a
need for the variance. He indicated that he a�id the other neighbors feel that this process is a
waste of time and money and they support the project. He also asked why the house was not
"grandfathered in" under the old Code.
Chairperson Peterson explained that the house is grandfathered in under City Code but any
proposed changes to the structure would have to comply with current Code and that is why the
variance is required. He then went on to state that he agreed the process may appear a bit
unnecessary in this instance.
Commissioner Miller indicated that she sees no problem granting the variance as the house
existed prior to adoption of the new Code. She then requested that Staff change the resolution to
correct the typographical errors indicated.
Chairperson Peterson indicated that he sees no problem with granting the variance request.
Chairperson Peterson closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m.

Property Involved: 8018 Sunnyside Road
Discussion and Consideration of Resolution No. 632-00, a Resolution Denying a Side-yard Setbacic
Variance
Applicant: Jim Trapp
Jim Trapp, the applicant, was present.
Planner Ericson gave the Staff report as follows:
yi
Jim and Judy Trapp, property owners of 8018 Sunnyside Road, have applied for a variance to
encroach into the required side yard setbacic to allow for the construction of a decic and gazebo in
their rear yard. There is presently a decic in the rear yard tluee feet from the property line. The
Trapps would lilce to extend the decic an additional two'feet (one foot from the property line) and
construct upon it a gazebo, also one foot from the property line.
While decics are currently allowed to be setbacic two feet from property lines, gazebos (which are
treated as outdoor accessory buildings in terrns of their setback requirements) are required to be
set back five feet from a side or rear property line. The property owners of the adjacent property
had previously obtained a variance to place a garage one foot from the property line.
For the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a demonstrated hardship or
practical difficulty associated with the property that malces a literal interpretation of the Code
overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing
body review a set of specified criteria for each application and malce its decision in accordance
with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City
Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the criteria are met.
Planner Ericson reviewed Staff's assessment and interpretation of the criteria. .
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do not apply to this property in that the
property owners have caused the conditions which necessitate approval of a variance.
The literal interpretation of the Code would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly
enjoyed by others in the district in that the setbacic requirements do not prohibit the
addition of the gazebo, only its requested location.
• The special conditions or circumstances result from the actions of the applicant.
Granting of this variance would confer a special privilege to the applicants in that the
Trapps are responsible for the conditions that necessitate the variance.

• Granting this variance for a gazebo one foot from the property line h�ould be materially
detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other property in the same zone in that it
would result in the gazebo being located less than two feet from the neighbor's garage.
• While the gazebo would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, there is a
possibility that in its proposed location, it could increase the danger of fire or endanger
the public safety due to the minimal two-foot separation from the neighboring garage.
In accordance with Minnesota Statutes and the Mounds View Mullicipal Code, because it
appears that all of the identified criteria have not been met, Staff recommends denial of this
variance request. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve Resolution 632-
00, a resolution denying the variance request of Jim and Judy Trapp to construct a gazebo one
foot from the north property line of 8018 Sunnyside Road.
Chairperson Peterson opened the public hearing at 7:25 p.m. `��
Jim Trapp of 8018 Sunnyside Road stated that he was told by Coru�ie Forsythe that since his
neighbors got a variance to build their garage one foot from the property line, that should not
negatively affect his request for a variance. He also indicated that this is the first that he has
heard that his gazebo would be only two feet from the garage and he agrees that this might be too
close.
Mr. Trapp said that he has lived in the neighborhood for 26 years, has good relationships with his
neighbors, and doesn't want to hurt those relationships. He explained that he wants the gazebo
because he is semi-retired, spends a lot of time out by his pool, and would lilce to be in a screened
in environment because he is highly allergic to bees. He indicated that it would not be the "end
of the world" if the variance was denied.
Chairpe�•son Peterson added that he was on the Planning Commission when the variance request
for his neighbor's garage was granted and that situation was unique because the trees on the lot
were such that many of them would have had to be removed to build the garage if the variance
was not granted.
Gary Andrew of 8045 Sunnyside Road stated that he is a building contractor and inquired as to
whether there was a limit to the number of buildings allowed in a bacic yard.
Chairperson Peterson explained that the number of allowed accessory buildings is three.
Mr. Andrew stated that he had to get a permit to build his shed and indicated that Mr. Trapp had
built a shed without a permit, right on the properiy line, until one of the neighbors became upset
and he had to move it. He indicated that from his house, he would be looking right at the gazebo
and there is not enough space between the gazebo and the garage so he feels that it is an unsafe
situation.
Mr. Andrew said he understands why Mr. Trapp would lilce a gazebo and he is just wondering
how many stntctures in Mr. Trapp's bacic yard are enough.

Chairperson Peterson clarified that all variances have to zneet the hardship criteria in order to be
approved.
Commissioner Johnson aslced if the Planning Commission has ever allowed a variance for a
gazebo to be closer than two feet to the property line.
Commissioner Stevenson said they have never allowed a variance for a gazebo and indicated that
in the past they have allowed variances for decics but not gazebos. He said that he doesn't
believe the variance would be approved even if there were no garage on the property line.
Chairperson Peterson aslced for a clarification on the exact location where the gazebo would be
built.
Commissioner Hegland asked what was on the south side of the pool
Planner Ericson indicated that there is a house addition.
Chairperson Peterson aslced if there was another location where the gazebo could be placed. He
asked if it could be built on the south side of the pool.
Mr. Trapp indicated that it may worlc to locate the gazebo on the south side of the pool.
Planner Ericson indicated that a gazebo is not considered an accessory building. He stated that
City Code Ordinance 664 allows for three accessory buildings. He also indicated that the Code
was recently changed to address a gazebo as an accessory use rather than an accessory structure
due to the limited seasonal use of the structure and the fact that it is not used for storage.
Commissioner Johnson indicated that he recalled when the Planning Commission worlced on
Ordinance 664 they did not consider a gazebo an accessory structure because it is very seasonal
and not used for storage.
Commissioner Johnson indicated that he would like to grant the variance but the situation does
not meet the Code requirements. He then indicated that the Planning Commission likes to help
people improve their property but he feels he can't consider approval of this request because it
would be too close to the property line and it could be located elsewhere on the lot.
Commissioner Miller stated that in order to grant the variance the applicant has to meet certain
criteria and she feels that the criteria have not been met. She also indicated that Mr. Trapp has
created this situation and, therefore, is not entitled to a variance.
Chairperson Peterson stated that he does not believe the hardship requirement has been met in
this case. He stated that he agrees with Commissioner Miller that the Trapps made their own
situation. He stated that the fact the Trapps gave permission for the neighbor's garage (even

though pertnission from him was not needed) does not entitle Mr. Trapp to a variance to now

Chairperson Peterson indicated that for fre safety reasons he would prefer to deny the variance.

Property Involved: 7664 Greenfield Avenue
Discussion and Consideration of Resolution No. 633-00, a Resolution Approving a Parlcing Lot
Setback Variance
Applicant: Tony Mezzenga 'w' Y`";°
Tony Mezzenga, the applicant representing the property owner Ernest Gustafson, was pxesent.
Planner Ericson gave the Staff report as follows:
Tony Mezzenga, representirig the property owner Ernest Gustafson, is requesting approval of a
vaxiance to construct a small, split-level office building on the undeveloped lot at the southwest
corner of County Road I and Greenfield Avenue. The variance is requested for reduced parking
lot and building setbacics.
This 13,068 square-foot property is zoned B-3, Highway Business. The size of the lot, however,
does present practical difficulties in terms of what can be developed, which has left the lot up to
this point unimproved.
County Road I is the second-most traveled roadway in the City. 1997 traffic counts show as
many as 8,700 vehicles use this part of County Road I on a daily basis and projections are such
that the volunle is expected to increase as development progresses east of Interstate 35W.
This lot borders commercial property to the west (Tom Thumb and a Laundromat), high density
residential to the east, and low density residential to the south and north. The proposed office use
is consistent with the B-3 zoning designation and is a less intensive use which would fit well into
the predominately residential surroundings.
Planner Ericson advised that Staff has met with Mr. Mezzenga and Mr. Gustafson on numerous
occasions in an effort to draft a site plan that could be developed for the property. The size of the
lot and the extent of the setback requirements however are impediments toward that goal. He
presented the required setbacks in a B-3 district, noting the applicant has submitted a site plan for

Regular Meeting Page 8
a 3,480 square-foot split-level office building with 2,975 square feet of usable office space. For
that much area, the Code requires provision of 20 parlcing stalls. To construct a building of that
size and a parking lot to accommodate 20 vehicles, variances would need to be approved to
reduce the side and rear building setbacics from 20 feet to 10 feet and to reduce the parlcing lot
setbacks from 30 feet and 20 feet to 4 feet and 15 feet.
For the Planning Commission to act favorably, there rnust be a demonstrated hardship or ��
practical difficulty associated with the property that makes a literal interpretation of the Code
overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing
body review a set of specified criteria for each application and inake its decision in accordance
with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City
Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship exists when all of the criteria are met. Staff
responded to the criteria as follows:
Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances do apply to the property in that at only 13,000
square feet, the lot does not offer much area upon which to construct a viable commercial
business. This situation is further complicated by the fact that the parcel is a corner lot
that demands greater setbacks than would be otherwise required for an interior lot. Last,
the development potential of the lot was further reduced when the County toolc ten feet of
the property (1,320 square feet) for additional right of way.
• The literal interpretation could deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district because of the County-acquired 1,320 square feet, the large setbacics
and the size of the lot, the property owner has been unable to find a developer willing to
consider this parcel.
• The special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant.
• Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that
is denied by this Title to ovvners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district
in that this appears to be a very unique situation not applicable to many other properties
within the City. , The applicant contends that in fact the reverse may be true, in that there
are many exampies of reduced setbacks in the City, and that he should be afforded the
same consideration.
� While it would be possible to construct a smaller office building and the required parking
on the site vvithout the need for any variances, the resulting building would be too srnall,
according to the applicant, to make a viable development project. From the applicant's
perspective, the variance requested is the minimum variance to alleviate the hardship.
In this situation, granting a variance for reduced building and parking lot setbacks would not
be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Code or to other property in the same zone.
The reduced setbacics would not impair a supply of light or increase congestion, nor would
it increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety or diminish property values.

According to the City Code, all of the identified criteria shall be satisfied in order to justify the
granting of a variance. While it appears to Staff that in this case all requirements coul�l be met
and that a hardship probably does exist, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, it must
find that all the criteria are satisfied.
Planner Ericson explained that after reviewing the docurnentation and taking public testimony, •�
Staff is asking the Planning Commission to direct Staff to draft a resolution approving tlie
variance either as requested or as compromised, or to draft a resolution denying the variance
request. If the Planning Commission so chooses to approve the variance, Staff has included a
draft resolution that can be acted upon as is or with any rnodifications as deemed necessary.
Chairperson Peterson opened the public hearing at 7:50 p.m.
Herbert Zworn of 7660 Greenfield Avenue explained that his property would be the most
affected by the development of the lot. He then explained that he currently spends several hours
a month maintaining his property due to trash and other debris that is thrown in his yard by
people who cut through his lot and the undeveloped lot to get to Tom Thumb.
Mr. Zworn explained that there is an additional problem along the bacic of his property because
Tom Thumb does not maintain the area around the privacy fence that separates his lot from the
Tom Thumb lot. He indicated that he has many problems with Tom Thumb and feels another
commercial building will only increase the proUlems he has to deal with because the commercial
property owners/developers do not maintain their property.
Mr. Zworn indicated that his front windows loolc directly out into the vacant lot and a two-story
structure will obstruct his view. He also indicated that he would be loolcing at an eight-foot
privacy fence out oF one-half of the front window.
Mr. Zworn aslced the Planning Commission to restudy this project and implement other policies
or designs, or vacate the idea because he feels that the property owner/developer and the
Commission are atteinpting to put a"square peg in a round hole."
Chairperson Peterson told Mr. Zworn that Tom Thumb should be worlcing with him to alleviate
foot traffic across the property.
A znember of the audience stated that only half of the people within 350 feet were notified.
Chairperson Peterson inquired of Staff as to whom and what addresses the notices were xnailed.
Planner Ericson advised of the number of properties on each adjacent street that were notified of
the public hearing.
Chairperson Peterson stated that the foot traffic to and from Tom Thumb should not be
happening. He told Mr. Zworn that the City and the developer in this case do not want to malce
his situation worse and, in his opinion, developing the lot and placing a fence around the property
�. � , _
r . , ; . _ ,. �: - ,.
Mounds View Planning Commission September 6, 2000
Regular Meeting Page 10
would prohibit foot traffic to and from Tom Thumb and, thus, improve the situation Mr. Zworn
is in.
Colleen Olson of 7641 Edgewood Drive stated that she is not directly adjacent to the property but
she objects to the variance because her neighborhood is already very congested and developing
this lot will add to that congestion. She said she feels that this variance would give the property
owner an unfair advantage and she feels he should stay within the small property guidelines as
established by current City Code.
Dawn Little of 7658 Greenfield Avenue stated she would lilce the City to assure immediate
occupancy once the lot is developed so that building does not sit vacant.
Ms. Little stated she is also concerned that the parlcing lot lights will be bi-ight and light up her
yard.
Ms. Little indicated that she feels the tenants at the aparhnent buildu7g will cut across the lot and
there will be a bigger problem with graffiti and trash. Slie aslced if the developer or owner of the
building, wl�.en developed, wouldl be local and available to handle problems as they arise.
Chairperson Peterson indicated that Mr. Mezzenga, the applicant/developer, lives in Shoreview
and the property owner lives in Mounds View:
Ernie Gustafson of 2525 County Road I, the property owner, stated he has owned the property
since 1942 and has lived in Mounds View since 1945. He stated that in 1978, he presented a
plan to the City Council with 20 parlung places but the Council demanded 22 parlcing places so
the lot was not developed. He said that for 22 years he has been paying very high taxes on the
property and if the Council had approved the variance in 1978, the City and Ramsey County
would have benefited from the taxes the building would have generated.
Mr. Gustafson indicated that the path goes through his property and people from Greenfield
Avenue walk across his lot to the Tom Thumb store and when they leave the Tom Thumb store
vvith their goods they toss their garbage onto his lot. Mr. Gustafson stated that this is the rnain
reason he wants to build something, to elixninate the path.
Mr. Gustafson poirited out that Tom Thumb has their parlcing lot one foot from the property line.
Mr. Gustafson explained to the Planning Commission that he has received letters from the City to
pick up trash on the property and he is sure that all of the trash on the property originated at Tom
Thumb but he had to pick it up or incur costs to have it picked up.
Mr. Gustafson said that in the winter, when it snows, the Tom Thumb store plows snow onto his
vacant lot. He said he is tired of them doing this and would like to put a fence up around the
office building and eliminate the problems. Mr. Gustafson then told the Planning Commission
that in 1978, the City and County of Ramsey toolc 10 feet from his property to add the sidewalk
and he got nothing for the property they took.

Dick Palmatier of 7639 Edgewood Drive inquired as to why this piece of property was zoned
commercial when the other properties, aside froin the Tom Thumb lot, are zoned residential and
I would lilce to know if it is too late to rezone the lot as residential and have it developed as such.

the designation.
indicated that every property in the City has a designated use and
This lot is guided commercial and the Planning Commission agrees with
Mr. Palinatier indicated that the setbacks and variances in effect for the property would prohibit
any commercial development.
Chairperson Peterson indicated that changes fo the �oning Code pei-taining to setbacks and the
taking of some of the property posed some practical difiiculties in tei-ms of development.
Mr. Palmatier aslced if the four feet is from the curb or from the sidewallc.
Planner Ericson indicated that the setback is from the property line. He then aslced Mr.
Gustafson how much space is between the sidewalk and property line. Mr. Gustafson indicated
that it was approximately five feet.
Mr. Palmatier aslced how far the parlung lot would be from the street. Chairperson Peterson
indicated that it was approximately 20 feet from the parlcing lot to the street.
Mr. Palmatier indicated that he feels there would be congestion and trafiic tie-ups as a result of
having an entrance on County Road I. He indicated that they had a similar problem with
Highway 10, now County Road 10, and a stoplight had to be installed to alleviate the situation.
Chairperson Peterson stated that the traffic on County I is heavy and in that context he feels that
residential would not be desirable.
Commissioner Johnson indicated that rezoning the lot to residential would not benefit the City
and it is not being considered at this time.
Planner Ericson indicated that while the lot is zoned commercial, there is a limit to the volume of
traffic that could be .generated from this site. He said that Staff is not concerned with potential
traffic congestion because a srnall office building would not generate a large volume of traffic.
Planner �ricson also indicated that the property owner would have the right to request a change
of zoning but as of now, it is zoned commercial. In terms of single family homes or duplex, he is
not sure anyone would want to live there due to the location and based on the volume of traffic.
Tony Mezzenga addressed the pedestrian traffic issue by stating that cedar fences around the
property should tidy up the vacant lot and cut down on foot traffic. He said that he and hzs father
have some property in Spring Lalce Parlc and he invited neighbors to ehecic that property to see
that they lceep things nice. He indicated that he will establish a relationship with his tenants and
assured the Planning Commission that the building would not sit vacant. Mr. Mezzenga stated

his opinion that once the lot is improved the people in the community will treat the property
better and not drop the trash. He stated that it does not malce economic sense to build what is
allowed without the variance based on the cost to develop the lot. Mr. Mezzenga stated that he
and his father have a reputation for keeping their properties neat and clean.
Mr. Gustafson cited several other locations where the parking areas have no grass in between
parlcing areas adjacent to them. He said there is 18 feet of grass between the tar and curb on
Greenfield Avenue. Mr. Gustafson indicated, in regard to the driveway, the City Code says there
should be 40 feet from the property line to where the driveway is and the drawings show that
there is 42 feet to the driveway.
Mr. Gustafson said that the amount of traffic tfiat would come in from this development wouldn't
be as much as the traffic that goes to Tom Thumb.
Herbert Zworn said that he did not want to stifle Mr. Gustafson's ability to develop the property
but requested that the problems they have now be loolced into and dealt with before allowing the
project to proceed.
Mr. Zworn said that the building will be two stories and that they will be able to look down on
his property infringing on his right to privacy. He noted he would be loolcing out at an office
building.
Chairperson Peterson closed the public hearing at 8:33 p.m.
Chairperson Peterson indicated that a property owner is allowed to develop on their property
what is allowed by City Code and, in this instance, the property is zoned for commercial
construction. He indicated that this is a problem property because it has remained vacant for so
many years.
Commissioner Johnson said that the Planning Commission is only loolcing at a parking lot
variance and whether they should approve the variance, not the building.
Commissioner Hegland indicated that it is also a building setback issue.
Planner Ericson indicated that none of the plans are final or approved and if the variance were to
be granted they �would need to come before the Planming Commission and the City Council to get
approval of the plans.
Planner Ericson indicated that the property is used as a route to get to Tom Thumb because it is
undeveloped and he feels that once the lot is developed, the trash issue and foot traffic problem
would be eliminated.
Chairperson Peterson said that the two reasons it is a problem lot is that it's vacant and there is a
problem xnaintaining it because of litter. He said that if Tom Thumb is not maintaining the fence
or the area around the fence, the City should get after them to rnaintain it.

Chairperson Peterson stated that as long as he has been on the Planning Commission the property
has been zoned commercial and changing it to residential at this point wouldn't benefit anyone.
He stated he feels that commercial is a more proper use for the property.
Chairperson Peterson addressed the concern of cars driving across the lawn by noting there
would be curbs so driving across the lawn should be eliminated. He then indicated that the plan
is not final but is a concept or a proposed plan.
Council Member Johnson said that the property is zoned B-3 which would allow for a gas station
and fast food. He stated he thinks it would be preferable to have an office building as it would
generate less traffic than a fast food operation or a gas station.
Chairperson Peterson said he feels the proposal solves several problems and doesn't cause any
additional problems. He agreed that cut through traffic must stop and tlie plan can be modified to
help alleviate foot traffic and graffiti.
Commissioner Stevenson indicated that the degree of the setbacic is lv.s concern. He questioned
whether the four-foot setback is too much or not too much.
Commissioner Hegland said most of the comments have related to Tom Thumb and he believes
the problems of the property not being developed have led to more problems related to Tom
Thumb. However, if the properfy were developed, it would be less of a problem and should not
increase the current problems.
Commissioner Hegland said he is not sure how much variance to grant.
Chairperson Peterson stated that if the Planning Commission were to apply the zoning
requirement for parlcing lots prior to the change in late 1996 or early 1997, this request is closer
to what was allowed prior to the change.
Commissioner Berke indicated that this type of commercial use is perfect but he feels there is a
problem with the number of parking stalls and how much setback to grant. He requested that
Staff look into that issue.
Commissioner Johnson said that he agrees with the variance, noting if it were 1997, the variance
would have passed.
Commissioner Miller said that City Code does not specify for types of parlcing but uses a formula
that specifies a certain number of spots per square foot.
Chairperson Peterson aslced Planner Ericson for different types of uses and the parlcing
requirexnents for them.
Planner Ericson explained the requirements for parlcing stalls per the City Code, noting the size
of the parking lot will dictate future use of the building. He also stated that an office building

does not generate much traffic and a future retail use would require more parking than would be
available under the current development plan.
Planner Ericson asked the developer to comment on the square footage needed to make the
project profitable.
.� .
Chairperson Peterson commented that there would be no advantage to the developer or the City
to build something that doesn't work.
Tony Mezzenga said that they originally were requesting 3,800 square feet. He said he feels the
square footage of the building he has proposed is reasonable and needed to cater to a wider
variety of possible tenants and in order to ensure that the building is leased out.
Commissioner Hegland asked Mr. Mezzenga how he felt about the parlcing issue.
Mr. Mezzenga indicated that he feels that there is wasted space and with an office building this
small the businesses that rent space will be sinall with few employees and clients. He envisioned
the building to be more of a"store front" for an insurance agent or someone who is at the office
sometimes but not all the time.
Commissioner Hegland aslced how many tenants Yhe developer is planning to accommodate in
the space.
Mr. Mezzenga indicated four tenants each using 800 or 700 square feet would basically be two
employees per offices. 1VIr. Mezzenga said it would be hard for him to go with less square
footage.
Chairperson Peterson asked the Planning Commission if they would lilce to have more
information or if they were ready to malce a motion on the resolution.
Commissioner Miller asked if there was another way to configure the parlcing lot.
Planner Ericson indicated that he, the owner, and the developer had spent a lot of time trying to
reconfigure the parlcing lot and found ihere is no way to reconfigure the parlcing lot without
encroaching into the:setbacks.
Conunissioner Hegland asked for clarification on the setbacic if it was from the sidewallc or from
the street.
Planner Ericson indicated that the sidewalk is included in the County right-of-way and the
setback is from the property line, not the sidewalk.
Chairperson Peterson indicated that there is a 20-foot driveway listed and that would provide for
one car exiting and one car entering. He indicated that graffiti is a growing issue throughout the
City and the Police Department should be involved in resolving that problem. Chairperson

Peterson said he feels that if the lot is improved, there will be fewer people congregating and
causing trouble and litter problems.
Planner Ericson indicated that there is too much parking according to the developer. He
indicated that the City tries to plan for the worst case and the most cars that could passibly be
there at one time. He said they recently gave a manufacturing company a variance for one space
for 250 square feet. He said that in his opinion there isn't a need for that nluch parlcing space
because such a small ofiice building would not generate that much trafiic.
Commissioner Hegland inquired as to other cities requirements for different types of commercial
uses.
Planner Ericson indicated that other cities refer to things in a similar way. He explained that the
City Code does get specific for some types of uses but other cities luinp all types of uses together.
He said that the City has a boolc by The American Planning Commission that shows parlcing
requirements across the country.
Commissioner Hegland requested a sampling of parlcing spaces per square foot requirements to
determine where Mounds View's City Code falls and whether it requires more or less than the
national average.
Commissioner Johnson stated l�e thinlcs 20 spaces is too many for a small building lilce this and
he would lilce to see the applicant come back to the Planning Commission with more information
on parking.
Commissioner Stevenson aslced if the applicant would be required to pay more fees to subrnit a
revised variance request.
Planner Ericson stated it would be one variance request and the City would not require more fees
from the applicant.
Commissioner Stevenson agreed that it was too large of a parlcing area for this small office
building and he would like to move to table the variance until the next meeting.
MOTION/SECOND: Stevenson/Hegland to table action on Resolution No. 633-00, a Resolution
Approving a Parking Lot Setback Variance for Tony Mezzenga, 7664 Greenfield Avenue until the
next meeting of the Planning Commission scheduled for September 13, 2000.
Ayes — 6 Nays - 0 Motion carried.
Commissioner Johnson said he would have preferred to approve the variance rather than table it.
Chairperson Peterson said he would lilce to determine how much parlcing space is really needed.
If less parlcing is needed then there would be more green space left.

Commissioner Stevenson said that if green space is preserved up front, there could be room to
expand the parlcing spaces if needed for future uses. He indicated that he would lilce the
applicant to come back with variables such as smaller parking areas with room to expand at a
later date.
Planner Ericson asked what the Planning Commission would like to see at the next meeting and -�� �
if a ten foot setback would be more favorable.
,,�'
Commissioner Stevenson said he would lilce to see more green space on Greenfield Avenue.
Planner Ericson said they could create a variance so that each property line could have its own
setbacic. He said Staff would worlc on it and come bacic with several different proposals.
Planner Ericson indicated that the next meeting on September 20, 2000 must be cancelled or
rescheduled due to a conflict. He aslced the Planning Coinmission if they �ovould lilce to schedule
a meeting for September 13, 2000 where they could hear this issue again.
Chairperson Peterson agreed that what was reasonable in 1997 is reasonable now and that four
feet is one possible worlcable situation. . However, he would prefer more green space if at all
possible on the Greenfield Avenue side. -
Mr. Mezzenga asked if the building could be bigger. The Planning Commissioners indicated
they would not favorably consider such a request,
Mr. Mezzenga commented that it would cost money to table and delay.
A consensus was reached to schedule a special Planning Commission meeting on Wednesday,
September 13, 2000. Commissioner Stevenson indicated that he would not be able to attend the
meeting.

subdivide the rear 80 feet fiom 2474 and 2468 County Road H2 to create a buildable lot fronting
Irondale Road. Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres in size in
which only one additional lot is created.
The area of the proposed subdivision is zoned R-1, Single-Family Residential. The minimum lot
size in this district is 11,000 square feet for an interior lot and 12,500 square feet for a corner lot.
The comprehensive plan designates this area as single-family detached. The applicant has
submitted a certificate of survey which describes the proposed subdivision.
The two existing lots on County Road H2 are 75 feet wide and 288 feet deep, both 21,600 square
feet in area. The proposed subdivision would create an 80-foot wide and 149-foot deep, 11,920
square-foot lot fronting Irondale Road. The new lot would conform to all Zoiung Code
requirements and would be considered a buildable parcel. The two remaining lots--at 15,600
square feet--would satisfy the minimum lot size requirenlent.
Staff has forwarded the Certificate of Survey to the City's Engineering Technician as well as to
the Director of Public Works. Other than dedication of the perimeter utility easernents, the
certificate of survey is in proper form. The City Attorney will review the Certificate of Survey
and any documentation needed to record the subdivision with Ramsey County.
Last, this subdivision is subject to parlc dedication requirements. The 5% fee is based upon the
Ramsey County assessed land value of the land subdivided, less the value of any land already
improved with single-family residential dwellings. I�i this case, the fee would apply to the
11,920 square feet of land at an assessed value of $1.23 a square foot. The extrapolated value
for the lot would be $14,662.00, five percent of which would arnount to a fee of $733. This fee
would need to be paid prior to the City approving the subdivision.
Staff is recorrunending approval of Resolution 634-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval of
the Requested Minor Subdivision of 2468 and 2474 County Road H2, with stipulations regarding
the parlc dedication payment, revisions to the certificate of survey and recordation of the
associated documents with Ramsey County.
Raymond McManus indicated that the lot directly to the south is almost a mirror image of the lot
they are proposing and they will do whatever the City requires.
Chairperson Peterson aslced that the Certificate of Survey be changed to indicate the correct name
of the street to be Irondale Street not Third Street.
1VIr. McManus provided a corrected copy of the survey that indicated the street naxn.e change.

Development Review for the Mermaid Planned Unit Development
Applicant: Dan Hall
The applicant, Dan Hall, was present. ,,��� �:
. . ♦C
Planner Ericson gave the Staff report as follows:
Dan Hall is requesting City approval of the development review stage of the proposed Planned
Unit Development to construct a 96-room hotel and a 500-seat banquet center to be attached to
and integrated with the existing complex.
The development stage plan is the second stage of a planned unit development process. The first
stage is the general concept stage, which was approved by the City Council on August 14, 2000.
The development review stage is the more detailed, in-depth review of the site plans, which are to
include landscaping, drainage, grading, utilities, signage, elevations, floor plans, photometric
analysis, etc. The final stage of the PUD is the administrative approval of the plans, PUD
Document, developm�nt agreement and any other documents associated with the proposed PUD.
The total area of the proposed PUD is approxiinately 10.7 acres, which includes the three
existing Mermaid parcels, the Rent-Al1 parcel, the Perkins parcel, Music Off 10 and the dry
holding pond associated with the business parlc development. The existing business park access
drive from County Road H would be shifted to the west to maximize the contiguous parlcing area
for the proposed development.
The hotel is planned to be a four story, 96-unit AmericInn. Attached to the hotel would be a"water
parlc" which would offer in addition to the pool, a waterslide, hot tub, sauna, and a spacious lounge
area. Attached to the hotel and the existing Mermaid facilities would be the 14,714 square foot
banquet center, which would provide seating for as many as 500 people.
�n addition to the PUD, the applicant has also applied for a m,ajor subdivision, which would
combine all of the subject properties into one platted parcel (presuxnably, Lot 1, Block 1,
Mermaid Addition). The prelirninary plat for this request has not yet been submitted and thus
will not be contemplated at this meeting.
The Planning Commission has been provided with a set of plans date-stamped August 10, 2000,
for the proposed expansion. The plans include a preliminary site plan, a preliminaiy utility plan,
a preliminary grading plan, a proposed landscape plan, a floor plan, and a photometric analysis of
the site.

Dan Hall of 2200 County Road 10 said he views this as a small part of the project and would do
exactly what the Planning Commission requests. He then commented that he still doesn't lcnow
what to do with the mermaid statute. He indicated that his wish is to do something with the
statute but he's not sure what because it has been around for 30 plus yeaxs. He said that he wants
to lceep it on the property but give it a facelift.
Chairperson Peterson said that since the business name is Mermaid he does not object to the
mermaid remaining as long as it is appropriately updated.
Chairperson Peterson aslced about the new plan for the County Road H parking setback being
changed in two places to five feet but remained one-foot in another area. He also indicated that
Mounds View was spelled incorrectly, noting it is supposed to be two words instead of one.
Commissioner Stevenson indicated that he has safety concerns on the trail way farthest from
Coi,uity Road H because of the speed of traffic coming oFf of County Road 10 and the fact that it
is straight on with the turn lane. He asked if it was possible to reroute the trailvvay with a little
bit of a bend so the bilcers aren't going quite as fast at that moment and the cars would also need
to slow if there was a bend added.
Truman Howell, the architect representing the applicant, said he had no problem with jogging the
trail and roadway to make it safer. '
Chairperson Peterson aslced if drainage from the site would be handled through natural gravity.
Mr. Hall indicated that the sa.rne gi•ades will be maintained as are now in place.
Chairperson Peterson aslced if the elevations are such that a gravity flow system would worlc.
Community Development Director Jopke indicated that the gravity flow system should work
properly.

Milo Pinicerton, representing MSP Real Estate, Inc., the applicant, was not present.
Planner Ericson gave the Staff report as follows:
On September 13, 1999, the City Council approved Resolution 5345 wluch approved of a
conditional use permit for a 46-room, two-level assisted living senior residential facility at 2670
County Road I. The applicant, MSP Real Estate, Inc., has not yet commenced construction of the
approved facility, and the site remains unimproved at this point.
Section 1125.01, Subd. 3f of the City Code states that "Whenever, within one year after granting a
conditional use permit, the worlc as permitted by the pennit shall not have been completed, then
such permit shall become null and void unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete
the worlc has been granted by the City Council. Such extension shall be requested, in writing, and
filed with the City Clerk-Admirustrator at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the original
conditional use permit." In addition, the Code states that a good faith attempt shall have been made
by the applicant to complete the worlc allowed for in the CUP.
Milo Pinkerton has requested such an extension, citing economic and financial factors as the basis
for the delay. He indicates that a one-year extension would give them enough time to begin
construction.
Planner Ericson stated unless the Planning Comnlission feels strongly to the contrary, Staff is
recommenciing approval of Resolution 636-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval of the
One-Year Extension for the Conditional Use Permit to Construct a 46-room, Two-Story, Assisted
Living Senior Residential Facility at 2670 County Road I.
Commissioner Berke said that t11e inanagement group proposed for this facility was closed down
in Wisconsin due to a staffing problem. He explained that the management group had told the
Planning Coinmission that they would be adequately staffed. He expressed a desire to revisit the
development plan if the extension is granted.
Planner Ericson indicatecl that the Cornmission could readdress the conditions of the project.
Chairperson Peterson stated that the aspects of the plan should be revisited to malce sure
everyone is clear as to what they are promising versus what they will do.
Commissioner Johnson indicated that they should review the front door/lobby design as it opens
to Mounds View Drive. He indicated he believes that there should be a desk where you sign out
or a monitor so no one wanders out.
Commissioner Stevenson aslced if they needed to revise the resolution to add the conditions to
revisit the front desk check out and level of stafiing.
Planner Ericson indicated that if they don't add the condition to the resolution and they grant the
extension it could be built tomorrow as originally proposed.

Community Development Director Joplce reported on previous Council actions. He advised that
the Council approved the items relating to Walgreens as well as some ordinance changes. The
tattoo ordinance held over to research an Anoka County ordinance regarding tattooing. The final
plat for the Walgreens development was held over because in preparing the final plat they
discovered Highway 10 was not where they thought it was.
Chairperson Peterson indicated he had heard there was a one-foot discrepancy.
Community Development Director Joplce indicated that there was a two-foot discrepancy.
The other issue was the Highway 10 study since jurisdiction was changed from the State to the
County. He said that the County has committed to working with the City to address traffic and
pedestrian safety issues. He indicated that Staff will present to the City Council a resolution
formally requesting that the County address the issues of lowering the speed limit, adjusting the
traffic signals, more and better signage, and improved visibility of crosswallcs.
Cornmunity Development Director Jopke indicated that they are working with a consultant on a
Phase II worlc plan basically looking at short-term, long-term and intermediate items.
Chairperson Peterson said the County replaced the lights at Cour�ty Road H 2 and it appears to be
helping.
Planner Ericson advised that the next Planning Commission meeting will be on September 13,

Property Involved: 7664 Greenfield Avenue
Discussion and Consideration of Resolution No. 633-00, a Resolution Approving a Parlcing Lot
Setbacic Variance
A licant• Ton Mezzen a
Pp • Y g ,
Tony Mezzenga, the applicant representing the property owner Ernest Gustafson, was present.
Planner Ericson explained Tony Mezzenga, is requesting approval of a variance to construct a
small, split-level ofiice building on the undeveloped lot at the southwest corner of County Road I
and Greenfield Avenue. The variance is requested for reduced parlcing lot and building setbacks,
a reduced parlcing ratio, reduced driveway separation and reduced parlcing lot width. While not
legally required to do so, Staff again sent notices to the property owners within 350 feet of 7664
Greenfield Avenue regarding this meeting to ensure neighboi•liood awareness.
This 13,068 square foot property is zoned B-3, Highway Business. The size of the lot and
corner-lot setbacics present practical difficulties in terms of what can be developed, which has left
the lot up to this point unimproved. This lot borders commercial property to the west (Tom
Thumb and a Laundromat), high density residential to the east, and low density residential to the
south and north. The proposed office use is consistent with the B-3 zoning designation and is a
less intensive use that would iit well into the predominately residential surroundings.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this proposal at its last meeting on
September 6, 2000. NuLnerous residents attended the meeting, some of whom expressed concern
regarding the proposal and the existing condition of the vacant lot and the Tom Thumb store. In
summary, the general concerns were as follows:
.
.
.
.
Cut-through pedest�•ian t�affic
Littering and graffiti, lighting and fencing
Reduced visibility
Traffic Congestiozl
Inappropriate zoning designation
In response to these concerns, Staff recognizes that there are issues regarding the lot in its
present, undeveloped state. The property owner has indicated that people are cutting across lus
lot to go to the adjacent Tom Thumb store, and in so doing, have worn a deep path through the
lot. There also seenns to be a constant accumulation of litter on the lot which at times becomes
quite unsightly. Development of this lot would greatly reduce if not eliminate both of these
problems. While completely unrelated to the requested variance application, Staff has inspected
the Tom Thumb store and is working with the management to address recurring graffiti
problems. The problem however is not limited to Tom Thumb or this area. At this tirne, the

Mounds View Planning Commission September 13, 2000
Special Meeting Page 3
Regarding visibility, one resident expressed concern that the view from his home would Ue
blocked by the construction of a building or fence on the vacant lot. While this may be true,
development on the vacant lot camiot be denied to preserve this view. Staff would encourage the
residents to be involved in the site plan review stage of the development, at which time
consideration would be given to landscaping and fences and other physical site improvements
such as lighting.
Concerning the issue of traffic congestion, Staff acicnowledges that County Road I carries a
significant volume of traffic and while a curb cut onto County Road I would not improve traffic
flow, Staff firmly believes that the anticipated daily vehicle trips to this property would be
minimal so as to not cause any unreasonable congestion. Assuming a pealc of ten vehicle trips
per hour, a car would be entering or exiting the parlcing lot less than once every five minutes. At
that rate, vehicle safety and traffic flow would not be compromised.
Last, regarding the present zoning of the property, as indicated at the Planning Commission's last
meeting, the commission members examined this lot and its zoning during the comprehensive
plan update. The coxnnnission determined that a residential development would not be
appropriate on this site, even though it barders residential on three sides. Given its frontage on
County Road I, the amount of traffic and the adjoining commercial use, the Planning
Corrunission chose to maintain the comnlercial land-use designation, considering
business/commercial to be the most feasible and appropriate future use.
The Planning Commission inquired about the number of stalls, and if the applicant felt the parlcing
requirement to be adequate or excessive. Mr. Mezzenga replied that twenty spaces were excessive,
given the sinall size of the building. Staff agreed that the requirement may be more than what is
needed and offered to provide the Planning Coinmission with office parlcing requirements from
other municipalities. Staff referred to the Off-Street Parlcing Requirements publication, published
by the American Planning Association. Of the nine examples given, none required more paxlcing
for an office use than does Mounds View. The range went from one space per 200 square feet to
one space per 750 square feet. The most common ratio was one space per 250 square feet of gross
floor area. Applying the one per 250 xatio to the proposed 3,480 square foot building results in the
need for 14 spaces. Given that, Staff drafted a site plan based on the 3,480 square foot building
and a parlcing lot to accommodate 14 vehicles.
The site plan differs from what was originally proposed by Mr. Mezzenga in that the building
and parlcing lot have essentially traded places. The new site plan maximizes green-space while
ininiinizing the parlcing area. With six less stalls and a reduction in the drive aisle width, more
pervious surface area can be set aside for landscaping and grass. The building setback from
Greenfield Avenue is 30 feet, which complies wiih the Zoning requirements. Because of the
small lot size, however, variances are still necessary. The variances contemplated by the
proposed site plan are as follows:
9' reduction in front yard building setbacic
14' reduction in front yard parking lot setbaclt
18' reduction in driveway separation requirement

• 2' reduction in parking lot width requirement
• 6 space reduction in number of parlcing stalls required

For the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a demonstrated hardship or
practical difficulty associated with the property that malces a literal interpretation of the Code
overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes require that the governing
body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its decision in accordance
with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2, of the City
Code.
Given the reconfigured site plan, Staff believes that the variances requested are the minimum to
alleviate the hardship and believes the hardship test has been met and that there are clear and
demonstrable practical difficulties associated with this lot which malces development
prohibitively restrictive.
Staff is recommending approval of the variances requested by Tony Mezzenga to construct an
office building at 7664 Greenfield Drive, with stipulations.
Chairperson Peterson asked for questions from the audience
Herbert Zwirn of 7660 Greenfield Avenue stated he would like to object to the project for the
same reasons as he listed last week: He said he used to be an insurance agent and indicated at
times his office used 3 parlcing spots and at other times his office used 10 parking spots. He feels
the type of occupancy needs to be talcen into consideration based on reduced parlcing spaces.
Mr. Zwirn indicated he has to live with what the Commission decides and he doesn't want to
have to deal with the fallout of the project such as debris, foot traffic and privacy issues once the
project is approved. He said he has many problems with the Tom Thumb that have not been
dealt with and he is afraid he will have even more to deal with once this property is developed.
Chairperson Peterson said the Corrunission is dealing with the application for a variance and all
the tallc about Tom Thumb and maintenance of the fence and garbage should be dealt with under
the City Nuisance Code that was strengthened a couple of years ago. He then said Mr. Zwirn
needs to follow proper procedures to work with the City to bring Tom Thumb into compliance
with City Code.
Chairperson Peterson said the property owner of a lot in the City has the right to develop the lot
within the limits of City Codes and Ordinances and B-3 zoning allows many different uses. Tom
Thumb is not directly related to this variance request and he asked if Mr. Zwirn had contacted
City police in the past to report any incidents.
Mr. Zwirn indicated when he first moved in he reported to the police the foot trafiic, the
activities in his yard and the graffiti. He indicated he does not want to have to spend his
evenings calling the police and turning people in all the time. He said he realizes this is not
about Tom Thumb but his point is he has trouble already with the commercial property next to
him and he is afraid of having yet another business he will have problems with. He then said in

his opiiiion the developer and the City are aslcing to put too big of a building on too small of a lot.
and are attempting to get away with it by shrinlcing the parlcing lot.
Comrnissioner Heglund aslced how the variance actually affects Mr. Zwirn's property and said in
his opinion he doesn't believe it does affect his property.
Mr. Zwirn said he is unhappy with the fact Mr. Mezzenga wants to put a bigger building on the
lot than is allowed by ordinance and he believes it will only cause trouble for him. .
Commissioner Heglund said he believes something on the lot will be better than nothing on the
lot and should actually decrease problems for Mr. Zwirn.
Mr. Zwirn said he spoke to two realtors who indicated if the City rezoned theproperty residential
it would be no problem to develop as residential. He suggested he and the City sit down and
look at the ramifications of this proposed development to his property. He said he wants the
Commission to be aware of the fact since he moved to the property in February he has had
nothing but problems with the Tom Thumb lot. He requested the City slow down and really
consider what will happen if they proceed with this development.
Chairperson Peterson indicated the Commission understands it could be rezoned but there is a
comprehensive plan for zoning for every property in the City and it has been determined that the
best use for this property is commercial.
Chairperson Peterson said Mr. Zwirn's point is well talcen on the size of the building being too
large for tlie lot and that is what the Commission intends to loolc at tonight. Chairperson
Peterson said he agreed with Commissioner Hegland that whatever goes on the vacant lot should
improve Mr. Zwirn's situation and he doesn't see how it could get worse.
Ernest Gustafson, the property owner, said the traffic, trash and grafiiti is a reason to build
something on the lot to stop foot traffic from going across his vacant lot into Mr. Zwiin's lot. He
stated he believes this development will stop the problems. He also said when he mows his lot
there are 2 or 3 cars a minute in and out of the Tom Thumb lot and in his opinion there is no way
an office building will generate that much traffic.
Commissioner Thomas asked how far it is frorn the curb cut for the Laundromat to where the
curb cut would be for this building.
Plainier Ericson indicated the driveway access is one or two feet off of the property line and on
the site plan presented to the Planning Commission the scenario is 24 feet from the Tom Thumb
and Laundromat with the building and the parlcing lot switching places it can maintain setbacks.
Commissioner Thomas indicated her concern would be that having two curb cuts less than 25
feet apart could cause a significant traffic problem.
Planner Ericson said it is not ideal and agreed maximizing the distance between the two c�.ub cuts
would give a little more room for visibility for people exiting and entering.

Special Meeting Page 6
Commissioner Thomas asked if they considered placing the curb cut on. Greenfield Avenue
rather than County Road I.
Planner Ericson said the problem with placing the curb cut on Greenfield Avenue is it reduces
the amount of area that can be used for parlcing. If the building is left in the same orientation
there is just barely enough room to squeeze the driveway back along the adjoining property and
then into the parking lot which would eliminate two parking spaces so you lose either part of the
parking lot or part of the building.
Commissioner Thomas said she is concerned about having two curb cuts so close together on
County Road I.
Planner Ericson said the request for reduction in the parlcing stalls is not a request of the
applicant it was brought up by the Commission last weelc because the Commission felt 20 spaces
were too many and that is what lead to the proposal for 14 stalls. He indicated the 20 stalls calls
for a variance of four feet from County Road I and four feet from the side property line.
Commissioner Thomas said they went from a maximum of 20 stalls to a minimum of 14 stalls
and have left no maneuverability as far as site development to fit in that many spots. She then
said if they really are limiting it to 14 stalls she feels Mr. Zwirn's comments as to the fact the
City and developer are trying to fit too large a building on too small of a lot have some validity.
Commissioner Thomas said six parlcing spots were dropped from last week's plan and if the
orientation of the building is changed you lose two more parlcing spots. Then you are down to 12
parlcing spots which is too few for the size of the building.
Commissioner Heglund said he is not sure it has been determined how rnany spots are required
for the size of the building and he did not believe the Commission has studied enough what this
size of the building requires.
Commissioner Thomas indicated the City has a lot of buildings of this type and has set
Ordinances which are used to judge how much parking is required per square foot of building.
Commissioner Johnson said he would like to try to meet in the middle and he thought there
would be 16 or 18 parking stalls not 14 parlcing stalls. He then clarified the Comnnission is
supposed to be talking about the variance not the development plan. Commissioner Johnson said
at this point he would vote for the variance.
Commissioner Thomas aslced if they are locked into a certain amount of feet in a certain place
when they actually have no idea what they are saying yes to. She indicated the variance would be
dependent on which site plan was approved so there does need to be discussion about site plans
prior to approving the variance.
Planner Ericson said based on the site plan provided to the Commission, it calls for 14 parlcing
stalls but there are ways to look at how much parlcing is enough parlcing and there are a number

of ways to look at the situation. The Commission is being asked to provide a minimum number
of parking spaces to the applicant and the applicant would be required to worlc within those
constraints.
Commissioner Thomas aslced what is the probability once the site plan is approved the
Commission will be aslced to consider a different or further variance to change the numbers.
Planner Ericson said whatever is decided tonight, there should be enough forethought into the
process that a further variance request would not be necessary.
Commissioner Thornas agreed and indicated she felt the Conunission needed to take a Uetter look
at the numbers.
Commissioner Johnson said he would lilce to see 16 parlcing spaces and feels anything larger than
that is too many and smaller than that would not accommodate the businesses planned for the
building.
Commissioner Thomas indicated she would lilce to suggest the Commission go with the "one
space per 200 square feet" ratio which would be the 16 spaces and reduce the square footage of
the building if needed to comply.
Chairperson Peterson said Mounds View's requirements are much more strict than other cities in
the area. He suggested the plan proposed in the Staff report extended two feet bacic on each side
achieves the 16 parlcing spots. He indicated he did not have a preference for what side the
building is on.
Planner Ericson indicated the only difference in the plans if the parlcing lot is next to Tom
Thumb is a five-foot setbacic. If the building is next to Tom Thumb it requires a 10-foot setbacic
and the difference on Greenfield Avenue is a 25-foot setbacic instead of a 30-foot setback. The
curb cut is away from Tom Thumb but closer to Greenfield Avenue.
Comnnissioner Thomas said if there is not enough parlcing there is no where for the overflow
parl�ing to go in the area which means there will be parlcing up and down the street in front of
people's houses. She stated she wants to make sure there is enough parking to accommodate the
building.
Commissioner Johnson said if they allow just enough parlcing for office space there is the
potential that something else can come in at a later date with a higher volume of traffic and then
there isn't room to accomrnodate the parlcing for it.
Comnnissioner Thomas said she agrees but thinlcs one space per 200 square feet of building is
very common in the City and she sees no problem with it.
Commissioner Johnson said the Staff report from last weelc indicated even with the square
footage of the building as it is, there are liinits to the type of tenants that will be able to use the
building.

Planner Ericson said the building is proposed to be 3,480 square feet which is a total foot print
number not a total useable office space which is 2,950. He said if you round the nurnber up to
3,000 leaseable square feet at one per 200, it figures out to be 15 parlcing stalls. If one more is
added, they could lease an additiona1200 square feet of office space and still comply.
Commissioner Thomas said she would be more comfortable using those numbers and felt the site
developnlent plan would be more worlcable if they called for 16 spaces or one space per 200
square feet of building.
,
�u�-: .. �'` '�.�.: ��
Commissioner Johnson agreed.
Planner Ericson indicated the proposed curb cut is close to 50 feet from Greenfield Avenue. He
said there should be room for 16 parlcing stalls and plenty of room for the curb cut as shown on
the site development plan.
Chairperson Peterson said if one more stall in each banlc were added it would push it back farther
towards the back of the property. But if you centered it, then the setback on the backside is not
15 feet.
Planner Ericson said they were intending to measure the setback from the 20-foot mark.
Chairperson Peterson said it didn't matter to him if the parking lot is on the Greenfield Avenue
side or the Tom Thumb side. He felt that was irrelevant in terms of a variance and noted that
how nnuch building and how many parking spaces is what they are deciding tonight.
Commissioner Thomas aslced where the current sidewallc was located.
Planner Ericson said the sidewallc is within the right-of-way, located approximately five feet
from the subject property.
Planner Ericson summarized the discussion by saying if two stalls were added and the lot shifted
up, there would be a 15 foot setbacic on the back side and a 12 foot setback fronting County Road
I. He then said if the Commission wanted to make sure they don't have to revisit the variance in
the future, they could round it to a 10-foot setback on County Road I.
Commissioner Miller asked what the extra space toward the back of the parlcing lot would be
used for.
Planner Ericson said the extra space in the bacic would be used to bacic out, not as an
encroachment.
Commissioner Thomas asked if they needed to make it 10-foot wide stalls if they go with one
parlcing spot for 200 square feet. She also aslced if they had roorn for 10-foot wide stalls.
Planner Ericson said 10 foot wide stalls would require eight additional feet and City Code only
requires a nine-foot stall. If the Commission wants to make sure they don't have to revisit this

issue, they could note there could be a 25-foot setbacic from Greenfield Avenue only if the
parlcing lot is on the Greenfield Avenue side. It wouldn't be needed if the building is on the
Greenfield Avenue side.
Commissioner Thomas stated she would like to give everyone as much space as they can but
malce sure it is worlcable.
�`;�
Commissioner Johnson asked if there would be a 10-foot setbacic in the front and the back.
Planner Ericson indicated there would be 10 feet in the front off of County Road I and 15 feet in
the bacic.
A member of the audience asked if there would be room to plow snow.
Planner Ericson indicated there is plenty of room to plow snow and if there is a large ainount of
snow it would have to be removed from the site. This is a common practice with commercial
developments. � ,
A member of the audience aslced what the setbacic from County Road I to the Tom Thumb
driveway was. Planner Ericson said he did not lcnow and referred the question to Mr. Gustafson,
the property owner.
Mr. Gustafson said he believed it to be around 20 feet.
Planner Ericson aslced if he meant from the street or the property line. Mr. Gustafson said he
thought it was closer to five feet but he was not sure.
Chairperson Peterson aslced Planner Ericson to look at the aerial photograph to see if he could
tell.
Planner Ericson said it was hard to tell but he thought it loolced to be around 10 to 15 feet.
Commissioner Thomas said it would match if Mr. Mezzenga were to be granted a 10-foot
variance.
Chairperson Peterson said the Tom Thumb was constructed in 1972 and they would have had to
follow the requirements then in place.
Comznissioner Johnson aslced if the Commission was planning to grant 10 feet in front, 15 feet in
bacic, with a minimum of 25 feet from Greenfield Avenue if the parking lot is on the Greenfield
Avenue side.
Planner Ericson asked if the building were switched with the parlcing lot would the Commission
prefer a greater setbacic to the front or to the rear. He indicated if there was a greater setback to
the front the people leaving Tom Thumb would have more visibility.

Mounds View Planning Commission September 13, 2000
Special Meeting Page 10
The Planning Commission aslced the developer to comment on his preference for the location of
the building and parking lot.
Mr. Mezzenga said he would prefer the bacic of the building against the bacic of Tom Thumb
because it is easier to pull out on Greeniield Avenue and the aesthetics of the building would be
cheaper for him. He explained if the bacic side of building faces Greenfield Avenue, he will have
to make it more aesthetically appealing but if the back of the building faces Tom Thumb there
would be no need for aesthetics.
Mr. Gustafson said Mr. Zwirn had said last week there was a plan to put up an eight foot fence so
he couldn't see out. He said he wanted to make it clear there is no proposal on any of the plans
presented to have an eight-foot fence. They were proposing lilac bushes which can be trimmed.
He said if the building is towards Greenfield Avenue tlie neighbor would not be able to see
anything. But if the back of the building were toward Tom Thumb, it would be better for Mr.
Zwirn.
Chaiiperson Peterson said there seems to be a little support for the idea of moving the parlcing lot
toward the Greenfield Avenue side so the wording of the resolution could be simplified and there
are fewer changes required.
Planner Ericson said Staff would put together another site plan showing how it could work out
given the variances that would be granted by the Planning Commission this evening.
Mr. Mezzenga asked what the worst case would be if the Commission granted a variance for
more parlcing spots.
Chairperson Peterson said he needs to meet the minimum requirements for a hardship and the
Commission felt 20 parlcing spots was too many.
Mr. Mezzenga said he doesn't want to get into a position where it becomes a larger monetary
invesnnent to have plans drawn and then need to come bacic and revisit parking issue.
Commissioner Johnson said flip-flopping the plan in front of them would give him 10 feet in
bacic and would increase the number of parking spots from 14 to 16 because the Commission did
not thinlc 14 parking spaces was enough but felt 20 spaces was too many.
Commissioner Thomas indicated the Commission is trying to grant the rninimum variance that
would allow Mr. Mezzenga the maneuverability needed to develop the lot.
Chairperson Peterson said he wanted to make sure it is the minimum to alleviate the hardship and
then aslced Planner Ericson if he had enough information to be able to draft a resolution for
approval at the next meeting which is the first meeting in October.
Commissioner Kaden asked if they could plug in the new numbers to the resolution before thern
in order to approve it tonight.

Special Meeting Page 11
Planner Ericson said that would be fine and then asked if there was a consensus to act on the
Resolution tonight with the adjusted variances as agreed upon. He stated that the parlcing lot
setbacks would be 25 feet to the Greenfield Avenue side, 15 feet to the side neighbor, five feet to
the Tom Thumb side, and 10 feet to the front on County Road I to allow for 10 foot setbacics for
the building at the corner and rear.
John Houle of 7643 Edgewood Drive said his bacicyard and Tom Thumb's backyard touch. Mr.
Houle said he has been there since the 1960's and he doesn't lalow why the Tom Thumb lot was
ever rezoned to commercial. He believes the lot in question should be zoned residential, not
commercial, for the simple reason it would do away with a driveway onto County Road I. He
feels there is a real demand for residential and a house belongs there, not commercial.
Chairperson Peterson said if Tom Thumb were not there the whole block would have been zoned
residential but since it is there, it is less desirable now for a residential development.
Mr. Houle said he feels a house belongs there and he would lilce to see it rezoned. He expressed
his concern for accidents because of the trafiic on County Road I.
Chairperson Peterson indicated the current zoning for the piece of property in question is
commercial and it would be up to the property owner or the City to request a zoning change
which, in this case, neither are willing to do.
Chairperson Peterson said once a property is zoned commercial in an area where commercial
works for the City, it is difficult to change the zoi�ing.
Commissioner Johnson indicated if the property were in high demand for residential use a
builder would have purchased the lot, aslced to have it down zoned to residential, and built an
apariment building or duplex. But, that has not happened which indicates to him there really
isn't a demand for residential use for the property.
Corrunissioner Thomas indicated at tlus point a rezoning would be at the request of the property
owner, he hasn't requested a rezoning, and the City is not inclined to make him rezone it. It is
zoned commercial and he is within his rights to develop it commercially.
Commissioner Miller aslced if the Commission had decided what the driveway separation would
be.
Planner Ericson indicated the Commission had determined it wasn't necessary for the resolution
as long as the parking lot and the building were going to switch places.
Chairperson Peterson indicated the driveway sepaxation could be dropped from the resolution.
Commissioner Thomas indicated any further changes could be worlced in as process moves
along.

Planner Ericson summarized what the Commission had agreed upon to be 25 feet from
Greenfield Avenue, 15 feet from the side fronting the property on Greenfield Avenue, five feet
from Tom Thumb, 10 feet from the front on County Road I with a building setbacic of 10 feet
from the side and the rear which maintains the 30 foot required front setbacic, the variance for the
one space for 200 square feet parlcing, and the variance for the 61 foot parlcing lot instead of the
63 foot as per City Code.
Chairperson Peterson aslced if he had included the five-foot from the Tom Thumb side. .
Planner Ericson clarified it is for the parking lot being on the Tom Thumb side. He also
explained a variance is not required because the setbacic is five feet from Tom Thumb and that
part does not need to be in the resolution.
Commissioner Miller aslced Exhibit A to be changed to reflect the changes discussed tonight
when the resolution is revised.
Chairperson Peterson said Exhibit A could be the same as last weelc's but the parking lot portion
is changed to reflect decisions of the Commission at this meeting.
Planner Ericson said there is no notation of fences oi- trees as that will be determined at a later
date during the development review stage of this proposal.
Chairperson Peterson said contingencies must be recorded with the county and development
review must take place within three months in order to be valid. He said they could add a
sentence that says screening and fencing would have to be resolved at that time as well, but it is
not totally necessary.
Commissioners Thomas and Miller said they did not believe it to be necessary as there is a
sentence saying failui•e to apply for and receive approval will render the variance null and void.
Chairperson Peterson aslced if there was further discussion on the resolution or the changes.
Commissioner Miller asked if they need to edit the sentence which states the public hearing was
held on Wednesday, September 6, 2000 to add the discussion was continued to September 13,
2000.
Planner Ericson said he does not lcnow if this is legally a public hearing but they could certainly
indicate the matter was discussed at the September 13, 2000 meeting.
Chairperson Peterson said he doesn't think the public hearing was continued from September 6,
2000 to September 13, 2000. He said he would like to add a sentence saying the issue was
discussed at the meeting on September 13, 2000.
Planner Ericson said he will change the resolution to read "a public hearing was held regarding
this variance request on Wednesday, September 6, 2000 and the discussion was continued to
September 13, 2000."

MOTION/SECOND: Johnson/Heglund. To approve Resolution No. 633-00, a Resolution
Approving a Parking Lot Setback Variance for Tony Mezzenga, 7664 Greenfield Avenue with
the changes as requested by the Commission.
Ayes — 7 Nays - 0 Motion cai-ried. �>�'-Y
°:��.
Chairperson Peterson indicated without the development review nothing can legally be done on
the property and the next step at this point would be to worlc up the plans as to where to put the
screening and what type of screening. He aslced Planner Ericson to give informaiion on the
development review process to the applicant.
Planner Ericson said he would work with the applicant to malce sure he was aware of all of the
requirements involved with the development review.
Chairperson Peterson said it would be in everyone's best interest if the neighbors were actively
involved in the plan.
Planner Ericson said Staff will notify residents when this comes bacic before the Commission for
discussion.
11. Staff Reports / Ite�s of Information '"3�
A. Previous Council Actions
Staff brought the Planning Commission up to date on action of the Council as it relates to the
Commission. The City Council did approve the second reading and adoption of Ordinance 663
which is the Ordinance governing tattooing and piercing establishments in the City with a change
not to allow the tattooing of minors at all. He indicated the change was made because the City
did not want the operator to have to malce the judgment as to who was the parent and if they were
following the Ordinance. The Council wanted the change so for people under 18 years of age,
there would be no tattooing and no piercing in Moi,uids View.
Chairperson Peterson asked if the prohibition of under 18 applied to ear piercing.
Planner Ericson indicated ear piercing is allowed but no other piercings.
Planner Ericson said the City Council also approved the second reading and adoption of
Ordinance 668 an ordinance vacating the sign easement. He indicated the easement area is no
longer used or needed and that is why it was vacated. He said if and when the Walgreens
transaction goes through the City will own all of that frontage on Highway 10 so if the City

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meetitag Date: October I8, 2000
Title: CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION 638-00, A RESOLUTION
RECOMN�NDING APPROVAL OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR
THE MERMAID EXPANSION, 2200 HIGHWAY 10.
Planning Case: PD00-002
Applacant: Dan Hall, President, The Mermaid
Background:
The applicant is requesting City approval of the preliminary plat for the Mermaid Addition, a
major subdivision associated with the recently-approved Mermaid PUD. The plat groups together
those parcels being utilized for Mermaid expansion, which include the former Rent-All property,
the Music-off-10 property, the south 361 feet of the Mounds View Business Park South plat as
well as the existing Mermaid parcels. Altogether, the total area involved in the plat is 9.36 acres.
Discussion:
This preliminary plat appears to be consistent with the Subdivision Plats and Procedures Chapter
of the City Code and a copy of the preliminary plat has been forwarded to the City Attorney for
his review. The legal descriptions and property ownership information however is incomplete and
as such, that page—the dedication page, has not been included for Planning Commission review.
Plat Hi�hlights:
• As mentioned above, this plat combines all of the properties involved in the Mermaid PUD
into one lot, Lot 1, Block 1, MEFZMAID ADDITTON, and one outlot, Outlot A, MExN1AID
ADDrr1oN. The outlot would serve as the access drive to the business park property to
replace the existing access drive. While it is not anticipated that the business park would
own the proposed outlot, it is expected that a permanent access easement would be
recorded in its favor.
• The plat dedicates 120 feet within the right of way for County Road H south of the Rent
.All Parcel and 100 feet (9.5 feet deep) south of the Music Off 10 parcel.
• The plat dedicates a ten-foot drainage and utility easement around the perimeter of the
Mermaid property and also dedicates a 35-foot wide easement area for utilities along the
southwestern shared property line between the Mermaid and business park property.

Chapter 1204 of the Mounds View Municipal Code requires that all major subdivisions and plats
pay a park dedication fee. For developments encompassing more than one acre of land, the fee
amounts to ten percent of the associated land value. The table below lists the land values

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meetirrg Date: October 18, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION AND REVIEW OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE 672, AN
ORDINANCE REVISING CHAPTER 1106 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW
ZONING CODE RELATING TO HOME OCCUPATIONS.
Introduction:
Ordinance 672 was drafted in response to growing issues relating to businesses operated from
within a home or garage, defined within our code as a home occupation.
Discussion:
There are four changes thus far contemplated by Ordinance 672. The first is to correct a
grammatical error by replacing "insure" with "ensure." The second change addresses allowed
signage for home occupations by removing language impossible to enforce. In addition, it
contemplates allowing for more sign area from one square foot to four square feet and opens the
door for signage in places other than the house or garage, yet stops short of answering the
question, "what if the sign is not visible from the street?" Staii asks for the Planning
Commission's thoughts in particular to that question.
The third change is a housekeeping correction. Chapter 604 was deleted a number of years ago
and replaced by a revised Chapter 607, Nuisances. The last change contemplated by this
ordinance is the addition of item "h", which explicitly states that automotive sales, service or
repair as a home business is expressly prohibited. Staff will verify that there are no legal issues
resulting from the disallowance of these types of businesses.
Recommendation:
Please review Ordinance 672 and provide staff with any comments, suggestions and feedback you
may have.

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: October• 18, 2000
TitCe: DISCUSSION AND REVIEW OF CHAPTER 1008 OF THE MOUNDS
VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE PERTAINING TO "SIGNS"
Iniroduction:
As the Planning Commission is aware, the City's Sign Code needs to be updated. Because of the
anticipated light upcoming agendas, stafffelt it would be a good time to revisit this item and
discuss proposed changes that should be incorporated into the Code.
Discussaon:
Staff is providing to the Planning Commission a current copy of the Sign Code for review. Please
take a few moments to read through the Code and come up with some ideas as to how it can be
better drafted. Staffwill prepare a list of questions and present them to the Planning Cotnmission,
the answers to which can serve as the starting point for this Code revision.
Before the meeting, staff would also ask that the Planning Commission pay particular attention to
the visible signage while driving though our City as well as other cities. What do you see that
looks nice? What does not look nice? Staff will make an attempt to photograph some of the
signs within Mounds View and present them for discussion at the meeting.
Staffwould anticipate that many meetings will be spent discussing this issue before a Code
revision is drafted and sent on to the City Council for its review. In addition to reviewing our
own Sign Code, staffwill present at future meetings copies of sign codes form other cities, some
local and some national, to gain a better perspective of what works and what does not.
Recommendation:
Review Chapter 1008 and identify the issues which will need the most attention.

Discussion and Consideration of Resolution 637-00, a Resolution Reaprroving the Development
Stage Plans of the Mermaid Planned Unit development
Applicant: Dan Hall, President
��7��,r-"`�
Planner Ericson gave the staff report as follows: �Y�F',- ��,-� �±:�
Dan Hall is seelcing City approval of revised development stage plans for the proposed Planned
Unit Development to construct a 70-room hotel and a 500-seat banquet center to be attached to
and integrated with the existing complex.
On September 6, 2000, the Planning Commission reviewed and recommended approval of a set
of development stage plans date-stamped August 10, 2000. Prior to City Council review,
however, the plans were amended to such a degree that reapproval by the Planning Commission
was deemed necessary. The City Council is scheduled to review the revised plans on October 10,
2000, for which a public hearing has been set.
There are a number of changes contemplated by the revised development stage plans from what
the Planning Commission originally recommended for approval on September 6, 2000. The
most noticeable change is that the hotel has been scaled back to three stories and 70 rooms from
the initial four-story, 96-room plan aud the Perkins site is no longer a component of the Mermaid
expansion. The water park is now attached to the hotel rather than being a separate building,
with parking shown iii the courtyard area.
The total area of the revised PUD is approximately 9.36 acres, which includes the three existing
Mermaid Parcels, the Rent-All parcel, Music Off 10 and the dry holding pond associated with the
business parlc development. The existing business parlc access drive from County Road H would
be shifted to the west to maximize the contiguous parlcing area for the proposed development.
The Planning Commission has been provided with a set of plans date-stamped September 28,
2000, for the proposed expansion. The plans include a preliminary site plan, a preliminary utility
plan, a preliminary grading plan, a preliminary landscape plan, an existing conditions plan, an
overall floor plan, exterior elevations, an enlarged banquet floor plan, hotel floor plans, and a
revised photometric analysis of the site.

Planner Ericson provided additional detail regarding the site plans, addressing specific aspects of
the plans as follows:
Regarding parking, the City Code would require a total of 828 parlcing stalls with the addition of
the hotel and the banquet center. The plans indicate that a total of 832 spaces can be provided on
the site, but only if the parlcing lot setbacks are reduced from the B-3 zoning district required 30
feet to five feet along Highway 10 and County Road H. Such a reduction in the setbacic
requirement is allowed via the PUD process, which explicitly states that a purpose and intent of
the PUD is to allow for variation from the provisions of the Zoning Code, including setbacks,
parlcing, height, lot area, etc.
If the setback requirements were to be enforced without deviation, as many as 175 parlcing stalls
would be lost. The net effect of such a loss would mean either the banquet center would be
reduced in size and capacity by 50 percent or more, or the hotel would need to be completely
eliminated. Neither scenario would be feasible based upon the already submitted cost and
earnings projections. This setbacic configuration inet with the approval of both the Planning
Commission and City Council at the concept stage of this development.
The building setbaelcs are different from point to point, but generally spealcing, the bowling area
would remain unchanged at a minilnum setbacic of 60 feet, tlie dining and bar area would be
more than 200 feet, the hotel addition would be a minimum 100 feet, while the banquet center
would be setbacic 50 feet. All of the setbacics satisfy the ctirrent B-3 zoning requirements.
The proposed hotel expansion would be professionally designed to be aesthetically pleasing and
would tie in to the existing facility. The hotel addition would be constructed of prefabricated
concrete walls and would be finished with maintenance-free siding accentuated with sections of
Exterior Finish Insulation System; abbreviated as EFIS.
Planner Ericson presented a materials board for the Planning Commission's review and
continued with his report:
Other than the relocated inain entrance and the painting of the existing exterior walls to match
the new additions, no other changes to the existing building are planned.
The applicant plans to retain the multi-colored electronic sign along Highway 10 and proposes
three small directional signs along County Road H. The directional signage is indicated to be of
a monument design, which is preferred over a pylon type of sign. The applicant proposes a total
of four l�uilding signs; one for the AmericInn, one for the Mermaid Nightclub, one for the
Meimaid Restaurant, and one for the Mermaid Lanes. The applicant has indicated that the corner
of the property adjacent to Highway 10 and County Road H would be reserved for the City to
install a gateway entry sign and the site plans have been revised accordingly. A separate
easement document will need to be executed by Mr. Hall and recorded with Rarnsey County to
malce it official.
Under the B-3 zoning provisions, the amount of signage that would be allowed for this development
would be limited to 340 square feet for a pedestal sign and 100 square feet for each building

occupant. Given the five uses within the building (hotel, bowling lanes, restaurant, nightclub and
banquet center) a total of 840 square feet of signage could be allowed. Adding to that total the
existing 162 square foot, multi-colored, electronic changing nnessage pedestal sign along Highway
10 would bring the total signage on the site to 1,011 square feet. Staff feels the directional
monument signs to be a necessary component of the signage package yet considers the total amount
of signage devoted to the Mermaid uses to be excessive and recommends the total amount of
signage on the property be limited to 850 square feet.
The landscape plan submitted with the site plans indicates conceptual plantings of trees iYl the
parlcing lot islands and along the front of the building facing Highway 10. While any proposed
landscaping is an improvement over what is currently present on the site, the PUD requirenzents
stipulate that the landscape plan shall identify the specific types and numbers of plantings to be
utilized and shall be reviewed by the City Forester. The plan indicates the planting of 25 deciduous
trees and 4 coniferous trees with additional unnamed plantulgs in the courtyard area. Staff will seek
input from the City Forester as to appropriate species from those listed and for any other
suggestions to improve the landscape plan.
Regarding trailways, the applicant shall be responsible for installing bituminous trailway along its
Highway 10 property frontage. Such a trailway would be consistent with the proposed
Comprehensive Plan and the Mounds View Trails and Sidewallc Plan. As with the discussion
concerning Walgreens, Dan Soler with Ramsey County has verbally indicated the trailway could be
located within the Highway 10 right-of-way yet as close to the Mermaid property as possible. The
site plan shows the trailway extending north beyond the project area in front of the Perkins site.
While Perlcins is no longer part of the PUD, staff would recommend the trailway remain as shown
on the plan.
A photometric analysis has been submitted in conjunction with the development stage plans. The
City Code requires that any lighting used to illuminate off-street parlcing be hooded to eliminate
glare on public streets. In addition, the light shall not exceed 1.0 footcandles at the centerline of any
adjoining street. It appears as though the footcandle readings comply with this requirement. The
applicant intends to utilize the existing parking lot lighting where possible with the addition of new
light fixtures at the southern end of the property in the vicinity of the hotel expansion. No
specifications, however, were provided for the proposed new lighting. The site plan does indicate
the location of six decorative lights along the Highway 10 trailway. Because the City is worlcing
with NSP to install these lights, the applicant will need to submit a payment directly to the City to
cover the cost of installation. Such payment would then be deducted from any required letter of
credit or cash surety involved with the financial guarantee of the public improvements.
The site plan indicates two Highway 10 accesses and two County Road H accesses. While this
would not represent a change frozn the existing configuration, the two accesses serving the Rent-All
property would be eliminated. No new accesses, other than the relocated access to the business
park, are contemplated with this proposal. The northern Highway 10 access is actually located on
the Perkins property, although there is a joint-use agreement filed regarding this shared access.
Staff and the City's engineer have been worlcing closely with the applicant and Rice Creelc
Watershed District to create a regional stormwater holding pond that would be located partly on the
_ _ , t � =
Mounds View Planning Commission October 4, 2000
Regular Meeting Page 5
Metro Waste Control property and partly on Edgewood Middle School property. While the final
drainage plans and use agreements are still being drafted, all indications are that all parties,
including Rice Creek Watershed District, will approve the stormwater project. The benefits of this
proposed stormwater pond would be immense, in that stormwater runoff from the Mermaid site
currently drains untreated directly into Rice Creek.
Planner Ericson then provided to the Planning Cornmission staff's reconunendation as follows:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission review and discuss the revised development stage
plans and consider action on Resolution 637-00, a resolution reapproving the development stage
plans for the proposed Mermaid PUD subject to the applicant submitting details on the light fixtures
and standards proposed; a limitation of sign area to 850 square feet; the applicant executing a sign
easement document dedicating to the City the area to be used for a gateway sign at the corner of
Highway 10 and County Road H; the applicant executing a development agreement pertaining to the
Mermaid PUD, which will serve as the guiding and controlling document for this development; and
subject to City Forester approval of the landscape plan..
Commissioner Johnson inquired if there was room for a trailway fi•om the corner of Highway 10
and County Road H to tie the trailway into the trailway in New Brighton.
Planner Ericson indicated a trailway was not placed in that location because County Road H is
scheduled to be reconstructed at some point in the near future and, depending on how it is
reconfigured, the trailway may have needed to be reinoved for construction.
Commissioner Stevenson indicated Ramsey Gounty has proposed to construct a regional bilce trail
starting at the southwest corner of Highway 10 and County Road H after the completion of the
reconstruction of County Road H.
Commissioner Thoinas inquired as to whether there will be signage for the vehicles coming off of
Highway 10 to indicate the location of the pedestrian trailway.
Planner Ericson said they have not specifically loolced at plans for pedestx-ian trailway signage but
that it will be a consideration when drafting the PUD document. He also said it is possible the
Highway 10 steering committee may be able to provide input as to how the trailways should be
marked.
Coinmissioner Miller inquired as to what effect the downsizing of the project would have on TIF
requirements.
Community Development Director Joplce told the Commission the pa�-ticular numbers are still being
considered and he expects to have a clearer idea of the effect of the downsizing on TIF requirements
in November.
Chairperson Peterson asked if the Perkins site was owned by someone other than the applicant.

Mr. Hall indicated another of his companies is the owner of the Perlcins site and indicated there is a
cross access easement between the two properties.
Commissioner Miller inquired as to whether another restaurant would go in the building.
Mr. Hall told the Commission it has not been determined what will go in tlze building but said he
does intend to lease out the building. He explained it was cost prohibitive to have tlie Perlcins site
as part of the development. The reason behind the downsizing is the lending institution set a
lending limit and with the larger hotel he was over the limit. He also told the Commission he did
not believe the TIF requirements were affected at all and said he was $700,000 over what is needed
to demonstrate the need for TIF.
Commissioner Thoxnas referred to the site plan and noted there did not appear to be handicapped
parlcing spots located near all entrances. She then inquired if the applicant intended to have
handicapped parking spaces at each entrance.
Mr. Hall told the Commission the plan for parlcing was simply a layout to show proof of ample
parlcing and that there will definitely be handicapped parlcing spaces at each entrance.
Commissioner Thomas referred to the site plan and noted there appeared to be room for only one
delivery trucic to dock at a time. She then inquired if the applicant intended to expand the loading
dock to accommodate more than one trucic at a time.
Mr. Hall said he intended to leave the loading dock area as it is stating it worlcs well for his
purposes. He indicated 90% of his deliveries come off the side of the truck and not the back so he
did not feel there was a need to have a truck ramp lilce at a truck terminal. He stated most of the
delivery trucics have a 12-foot ramp that they extend and roll the inventory in. He also commented
on the fact that the revised plan provides for no parlcing near the loading docic which would be more
convenient for the delivery drivers.
Chairperson Peterson inquired as to why the pool was downsized.
1VIr. Ha11 indicated the pool was downsized because the hotel was downsized. He said it is standard
to design the pool size to accommodate the number of rooms the hotel l�zas. He indicated the
lending institution provides a xnaximum amount to be spent per room for the pool and he is bound
by that figure. Mr. Hall then assured the Planning Commission that the plan he presented is the
plan they will sticic with and there should not be further changes to it.
Commissioner Johnson noted the hotel is larger than other ArnericInns he has seen.
The Architect on the project indicated it is one of the larger .AmericInns but not the largest. He
indicated a typical prototype Americlnn has 64 units and the one on the Mermaid site is proposed to
have 70 units. He told the Commission the materials would be of a high quality as is the staz�dard
with Americlnn. He also pointed out the building will be "L" shaped allowing for larger interior
corner and exterior corner rooms that will be very nice.

Chairperson Peterson inquired if they intended to charge more for the corner rooms.
The Architect indicated the price per room was a decision for Mr. Hall to malce but said it would
malce sense to charge more for a nicer or larger room.
Chairperson Peterson inquired if there was a standard size for rooms at an AmenicInn.
The Architect indicated the industry standard for hotel rooms is 12 feet wide and Ameiiclnn's
rooms are 14 feet wide. He also pointed out the rooms are separated by an eight-inch concrete wall
which malces them one of the quietest rooms in the industry.
Commissioner Hegland inquired as to what changes the applicant planned for the mermaid statue.
Mr. Hall indicated he wanted to talce it down and update it to malce it more politically correct but
due to a lack of funds he is unable to do much more than a fi•esh coat of paint at this point. He told
the Commission at some point in the future it is his intent to update the statue.
Chairperson Peterson inquired as to whether there would be a courtyard.
Mr. Hall indicated it would be very nice to have the courtyard but said he was more concerned with
what will give him the best return on his investment. He indicated in his opinion parlcing is the
most important thing at this point and he wanted to show as many parlcing spaces as possible. He
then told the Commission that especially in winter there is a problem with "creative parking" and
when that happens the number of cars you can fit in the lot greatly diminishes so he would prefer to
be able to use the "courtyard" as parlcing at this point.
Chairperson Peterson inquired as to whether the language of the resolution needed to specify a
parlcing requirement.
Planner Ericson indicated if the City required a minimurn of 808 parking spaces that would give Mr.
Hall the ability to eliminate the parlcing in the courtyard at a later date and use it as green space and
still have the required number of parking spaces. He then indicated he does not believe there would
need to be specific parlcing space language in the resolution but said they will address the parlcing in
the PUD document.
MOTTON/SECOND: Johnson/Berke. To approve Resolution No. 637-00, a Resolution
Reapproving the Development Stage Plans of the Mermaid Planned Unit Development.
Ayes — 8 Nays - 0 Motion carried.
Planner Ericson indicated this matter would be considered by the Council on October 10, 2000.

Title: DISCUSSION AND CONSIDER.A.TION OF RESOLVTION 639-00, A
RESOLUTION OF TI� MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COA�INIISSION
CONCERNIlVG THE CTTY OF MOUNDS 'VIEW ,AND TI� MOUNDS

MODIFICATIONS TO THE TAX INCREMENT REDEVELOPMENT
PLANS FOR TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICTS NOS. 1, 2, 3,
WIT'HIN TI� MOUNDS VIEW ECONONIIC DEVELOPMENT pROJECT
AREA
Background:
For over a year the Office of the State Auditor has been reviewing Mounds View's TIF records.
While they have examined a range of issues, a particular emphasis has been placed on the use of TIF
for the Community Center. Aside from the concerns expressed by the OSA, City staff identified
some azeas of our TIF admirustration that could be improved. In particular, the TIF budgets reported
in the OSA's annual "TIF Authority Reports" are not an accurate representation of what is contained
within Niounds View's TIF plans and subsequent modifications.
To address this discrepancy, the EDA's fina.ncial advisor, Ehlers and Associates, was retained to
evaluate and determine existing TIF budgets based on the original TIF plans, subsequer�t
modifications to the districts and their respective budgets, and the 1994 Mounds View Economic
Development Proj ect. This analysis has recently been completed and is included for your reference
as Attachment 1.
This situation is somewhat unique since no new expenditures or projects are being added. In
essence, the proposed modifications are a restatement of what currently exists. However, we have
elected to go through the process of modifying the districts via the public hearing process for
clarification purposes.
As part the process of amend.ing T]F Plans, it is required that the Planning Commission review the
plans to determine their consistency with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. On a general level,
TIF Plans serve to broadly articulate goals and objectives for the TIF district. The TIF Plan also
includes a budget for the expenditure of TIF funds generated as a result of the project. As pzeviously
stated, the updated budgets included in the modifications are a restatement of existing TIF
documentation. A copy of the TIF Plan modification has been included for your review as
Attachment #1. A resolution for the Commission's consideration has been included as Attachment
#2.

Discussiona
On October 10, 2000, the City Council approved Resolution 5476; a resolution approving
the development stage plans for the Meimaid Pla.nned Unit Development. The resolution
contained a clause authorizing staff to draft an ordinance to effectuate the rezoning of the
properties fi•om B-3, Highway Business, to PUD, Planned Unit Development.
The Planning Commission is required to review and offer a recommendation regarding all
rezonings in the City. Because this ordinance was not drafted when the Planning
Commission recommended approval of the development stage of the PUD on October 4,
2000, a separate resolution is now needed concerning the Plaiuung Commission's
recommendation.
Recommendation:
Review Ordinance 675 and if acceptable, consider approval of Resolution 640-00, recommending
to the City Council adoption of Ordinance 675.

Item # 8
City ofMounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meetirrg Date: November l, 2000
Tatle: DISCUSSION AND REVIEW OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE 672, AN
ORDINANCE REVISING CHAPTER 1106 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW ZONING
CODE RELATING TO HOME OCCUPATIONS.
Introduction:
Ordinance 672 was drafted in response to growing issues relating to businesses operated from
within a home or garage, defined within our code as a home occupation. The Planning
Commission reviewed the first draft of this ordinance at its last meeting on October 18, 2000.
Discussaon:
Two changes have been made to this ordinance from the version reviewed on October 18, 2000.
The first deals with the amount of parking a home business is allowed by changing the
requirement from "no more than two vehicles for on or off street parking" to "no more than two
vehicles for on street parking." The other change reflects where signage can be placed upon the
lot, adding a third option-- within five feet of a street frontage, as long as no part of the sign
extended into the right of way or adjoining property.
The other changes originally contemplated by the attached ordinance remain unaltered, and are as
follows: The first is to correct a grammatical error by replacing "insure" with "ensure." The
second change addresses allowed signage for home occupations by removing language impossible
to enforce and by increasing the square footage of allowable signage from one square foot to four
square feet.
The third change is a housekeeping correction. Chapter 604 was deleted a number of years ago
and replaced by a revised Chapter 607, "Nuisances". The last change contemplated by this
ordinance is the addition of item "h", which explicitly states that automotive sales, service or
repair as a home business is expressly prohibited.
Recommendation:
Please review Ordinance 672 and if acceptable, approve Resolution 641-00, a resolution indicating
the Commission's support of Ordinance 672 and its recommendation of adoption by the City
Council.

City of �Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: November l, 2000
Title: CONTINLJED DISCUSSION AND REVIEW OF CHAPTER 1008 OF
THE MOUNDS VIEW MUNICII'AL CODE PERTAINING TO "SIGNS"
Discussiort:
At the Planning Commission's last meeting, staffprovided the Commission with copies ofthe
City's current Sign Code (Chapter 1008). For comparison purposes, staffis now providing the
Commission with a copy of Burnsville's Sign Code, which appears to be a good example of how a
sign code could be better drafted.
Staff is working on a redraft of Mounds View's Sign Code which simply reorgaruzes the data
without making any changes to the specific requirennents. However, due to the complexity of this
task, staff was unable to complete the redraft in time for inclusion in the packet. If completed
prior to your meeting on November l, 2000, staff will distribute copies of the redraft at the
meeting and discussion can take place at your November 15, 2000 meeting.
Weather permitting, staff will attempt to photograph some examples of signage within the City to
give the Planning Commission a visual example of certain types of signs as well as an idea of the
scale and perspective of signs in the community. It is intended that the photographs would be
displayed in a computerized, Powerpoint presentation.
Again, staffwould also ask the Planning Commission to pay particular attention to the visible
signage while driving though our City as well as signs in other cities.

Discussion and Consideration of Resolution No
of the Mermaid Addition Preliminary Plat
Applicant: Dan Hall
�'�'�.�'� '��#���y
638-00, a Resolution Recommending Approval
Planner Ericson explained that, Dan Hall, the applicant, is requesting City approval of the
preliminary plat for the Mermaid Addition, a major subdivision associated with the recently
approved Mermaid PUD. The plat groups together those parcels being utilized for Mermaid
expansion, which include the former Rent-All property, the Music Off 10 property, the south 361
feet of the Mounds View Business Parlc South plat as well as the existing Mermaid parcels. The
total area involved in the plat is 9.36 acres.
This plat combines all of the properties involved in the Mermaid PUD into one lot, Lot 1, Blocic
l, MERMAID ADDITTON, and one outlot, Outlot A, MERMAID ADDITION. The outlot
would serve as the access drive to the business park property to replace the existing access drive.
While it is not anticipated that the business parlc would own the proposed outlot, it is expected
that a permanent easement would be recorded in its favor.
The plat dedicates additional right-of-way for County Road H south of the Rent All Parcel and
south of the Music Off 10 parcel.
The plat dedicates a ten-foot drainage and utility easement around the perimeter of the Mermaid
property and also dedicates a 35-foot wide easement area for utilities along the southwestern
shared property line between the Mermaid and business parlc property.
Chapter 1204 of the Mounds View Municipal Code requires that all major subdivisions and plats
pay a park dedication fee. For developments encompassing more than one acre of land, the fee
amounts to ten percent of the associated land value. The assessed value for the Mermaid plat is
$923,057. This amount is based on the marlcet value for assessed year 2000 for property taxes
_. _ , _
_ _ � .j ,
Mounds View Planning Commission October 18, 2000
Regular Meeting Page 3
payable in 2001. Based on the assessed value of the property, the parlc dedication fee required is
$92,306.
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 638-00, a resolution recomnnending approval of the
Mermaid Addition preliminary plat, subject to the following stipulations: The Preliminary plat
shall be revised by indicating the current property owners and appropriate legal descriptions for
the involved parties; The developer shall execute a sign easement document which dedicates to
the City of Mounds View the forty-foot triangle at the corner of Highway 10 and County Road H
as shown on the preliminary plat for a City gateway sign; and The developer shall subrnit the
applicable parlc dedication fee of $92,306 prior to the City signing the final plat.
Planner Ericson noted if Resolution 638-00 is approved by the Planning Commission it would
then be presented to Council for approval.
, �� ,:�, ..
The applicant was not present. ,
Commissioner Stevenson inquired as to whether the applicant was aware a parlc dedication fee
would be required.
Planner Ericson indicated the applicant was xnade aware of the requirement for a parlc dedication
fee earlier in the process and was quoted a somewhat lower figure. Planner Ericson indicated the
applicant may request some consideration on the fee.
Commissioner Miller inquired as to whether the original quote for the park dedication fee
included the Perkins property.
Planner Ericson indicated it did but said the original quote for the park dedication fee was based
on 1999 values while the current figure is based on Year 2000 values. In addition, the original
quote did not include the portion of the business parlc property that is included in the plat.
Altogether, this amounted to a 12 percent increase.
Commissioner Miller noted the reference to Highway 10 in the legal description was
inconsistent. In some instances U.S. Highway 10 was used and in other instances Trunlc
Highway No. 10 was used.
Planner Ericson indicated this is the legal description as it stands and once the plat is approved
aIl references to Highway 10 are eliminated and there is no longer a problem with consistency.
Commissioner Thomas inquired as to the difference in the first quote for the parlc dedication fee
and the present quote for the park dedication fee.
Planner Ericson indicated the first quote for the park dedication fee was approximately $82,000.
Chairperson Peterson inquired as to the logic behind the additional the right-of-way dedication.

Planner Ericson indicated the City did not require that and said the Mermaid did that on their
own.
Community Development Director Joplce indicated it may have been a County requirement.
Chairperson Peterson referred to the plat and noted there was a reference to Anolca County. He
then inquired if that was an error.
Planner Ericson indicated he was unsure and would check into it. :�`”
MOTION/SECOND: Stevenson/Miller. To approve Resolution No. 638-00, a Resolution
Recommending Approval of the Mermaid Addition Preliminary Plat.
Ayes — 7 Nays - 0 Motion carried.
7e Review First Draft of Ordinance 672, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1106 of the
Mounds View Zoning Code Pertaining to Home Occupatro�ns,
Planner Ericson explained Ordinance 672 was drafted in response to growing issues relating to
businesses operated from within a home or garage, defined within City Code as a home
occupation.
Planner Ericson noted there are four proposed changes to the Ordinance at this point. Two of
these changes are houselceeping issues and the other two relate to signage and expressly
prohibiting automotive sales, service or repair as a home business.
Commissioner Miller inquired as to whether the City needed to set a lirnit for motor vehicles
allowed at the residence at a given time.
Plaruaer Ericson indicated he felt it was appropriate for the City to limit the number of vehicles a
business may have at the residence at any one time in order to prevent the business from causing
a nuisance for the neighborhood.
Commissioner Thomas inquired as to how the City would enforce a two car rule.
�'lanner Ericson indicated the City has had two instances recently where home businesses were
violating the two car rule and the City has been able to enforce the rule.
Commissioner Thomas indicated she did not believe the City should be attempting to regulate the
number of cars at a home business.
Planner Ericson noted the ordinance is already in effect and limiting the number of cars is not a
change---it is currently part of the Code.

Regular Meeting Page 5
Community Development Director Jopke indicated that the limit on the number of motor
vehicles allowed serves to liinit home businesses to those types that do not have a high volume of
vehicle traffic.
Commissioner Hegland inquired as to whether this vehicle restriction applied only to businesses
or if there was a provision within the Code for social gatherings as well.
Planner Ericson indicated the City does not limit the number of vehicles a resident can have at a
social gathering.
Comnnissioner Hegland inquired as to whether this vehicle restriction would apply to someone
who has frequent garage sales.
Planner Ericson indicated it would, though he is noi aware of any situation where this has been a
problem in the City.
Commissioner Johnson noted there was an incident in the past where the City ended up
videotaping a residence all day in or•der to show a violation of the vehicle limit. He indicated
even with video evidence the case was thrown out of court.
Planner Ericson indicated the courts are more aware of the need to regulate home businesses now
than they have been in the past. He also noted there have been two cases in recent history where
the City was able to enforce its Code.
Commissioner Thomas asked for examples of the situations Planner Ericson referred to.
Planner Ericson noted there was a landscaping business operating from home that was violating
the vehicle restriction. He also noted there was a business repairing vehicles also in violation of
the vehicle restriction. In both instances the City was able to enforce the vehicle restriction with
the help of the courts.
Commissioner Johnson indicated he would like to see a restriction for "on street" paxking but not
for parking off street.
Commissioner Thomas inquired as to if a Mary Kay demonstration would violate City Code.
Planner Ericson said, technically it would, but indicated a infrequent group of cars at a residence,
while being a technical violation of City Code, should not be a problem.
Commissioner Thomas indicated she would like to eliminate the language restricting the number
of motor vehicles allowed.
Commissioner Berke indicated he was in favor of restricting the number of vehicles allowed
because he did not feel the neighbors should have to put up with the nuisance created when
someone runs a business from home and has a high volume of traffic.

Commissioner Thomas indicated she would prefer to put some language in the Code only
limiting the number of vehicles if there are a certain number of vehicles for more than two or
three days in a row.
Commissioner Berke indicated he would prefer to limit the number of vehicles not the number of
days in a row.
A consensus was reached that the Commission would lilce ta see the stipulation for "off street"
parking removed from the Ordinance.
Commissioner Hegland inquired if there was regulation for lighting the signs for home
businesses.
Planner Ericson indicated there was not, as property owners are allowed to use decorative
lighting and to aim lights at the house or a sign.
Commissioner Miller inquired as to what provisions would be made for existing signs.
Planner Ericson indicated it would be dif�cult to determine vvhat signs were in place before the
ordinance was changed. He also said Staff is familiar with the City and that most of the signs in
the City would comply with the four square feet provision in the Ordinance.
Commissioner Johnson inquired as to whether two-sided signs were in violation of the four
square footage of sign requirement.
Planner Ericson indicated two-sided signs were allowed under the Code.
Planner Ericson asked the Commission if there should be allowances for signs if the sign would
not be visible from the street if attached to the structure.
Commissioner Thomas indicated she would lilce to malce a provision for signs not visible from
the street.
Commissioner Johnson indicated he too would lilce to make a provision for signs not visible
from the street.
Commissioner Hegland indicated he would be fine with a provision for signs not visible from the
street provided the sign was far enough from the property line so as not to create a nuisance for
the neighbors.
Commissioner Johnson indicated he would prefer the signs be placed within five feet of the front
property line.
Commissioner Stevenson indicated he would prefer the signs be placed within five feet of the
property line that abuts the street right-of-way. Thereby allowing people with road frontage on
two sides of their property to choose where they wish to place the sign.

A consensus was reached to allow signage within five feet of the property line that abuts a street
right-of-way.
Planner Ericson noted he would make the requested changes and bring the Ordinance bacic before
the Planning Commission for further discussion.

Planner Ericson introduced Travis Cerny to the Planning Comrnission.

The Planning Commission welcomed Travis Cerny.
8. Discuss Possible Changes to the City's Sign Code, Chapter 1008 of the Municipal
Code
Planner Ericson explained the City's Sign Code needs to be updated and clarified and said this
agenda item is to begin discussions on proposed changes to the Code.
Chairperson Peterson indicated there needs to be a stipulation concerning inflatable gorillas.
Commissioner Miller indicated traveling signs and flashing signs need to be addressed.
Commissioner Hegland inquired as to whether the Sign Code covered search lights.
Planner Ericson indicated there is a provision in City Code for search lights but it is not
addressed under the Sign Code.
Planner Ericson indicated multiple family housing complex signage needs to be addressed. He
said the City has some signs that really loolc nice and others that are possibly too large.
Planner Ericson also indicated that according to the City Code, churches in the City are not
allowed to have signs because of the zoning district they are in. In a related situation, there was a
variance granted for the Kinder Care to allow for a sign. Because of the zoning district the
Kinder Care is in they would not have been allowed to have a sign.
Planner Ericson requested guidance from the Planning Commission as to how to proceed on the
Sign Code.
A consensus was reached by the Planning Commission to direct Staff to clean up the current Sign
Code to malce it more readable by using tables to describe signage allowed by zoning district; to
checic with other cities and provide examples of sign codes to compare with Mounds View's
Sign Code; to check with a sign rental company to verify the standard size for temporary signs;

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: November 1 S, 2000
Title:
Item # 5
DISCUSSION AND REVIEW OF CHAPTER 1008 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL
CODE RELATING TO THE SIGN CODE
Introductaono
To continue on and further the discussion regarding the need to revise the City's sign code, staff
has drafted a preliminary revision to the sign code with the only changes of substance being the
addition of a"purpose" section and the reorganization of the allowable signage by zoning district
into a table.
In addition, staff has obtained a model sign ordinance from a group named the "United States
Sign Council Foundation, (USSCF)" a charitable, nonprofit organization devoted exclusively to
funding sign-related research and educational activities of benefit to the growth of the sign
industry. Staff has also requested a copy of a model ordinance from the League of Minnesota
Cities.
Staff has drafted a proposed schedule for the review of the major components of the sign code to
guide us through this time-consuming process. The proposed schedule assumes there will be two
meetings in December, though the Planning Commission may decide to cancel or reschedule the
second meeting on December 20th due to its proximity to the Holidays.
Discussion:
In keeping with the desire to accomplish the very large task of redrafting the sign code by
breaking it down into smaller components, staff is hoping that the Plaruiing Commission can (1)
briefly review the USSCF model sign code and (2) review the organizational redraft of the City's
sign code. In doing the organization redraft, staff came across other code issues which will need
to be addressed:
_
Sign Code revision report
November 15, 2000
Page 2
Purpose• Without changing the section numbering of the sign code, staff added a"Purpose"
section to the Code as a means to suminarize the goals and intent of the ordinance. If the
language looks familiar to some of the Commission, you may recognize it from an earlier
revision attempt. What are the Commission's thoughts on the addition?
Definitions. Generally speaking, we will need to go through each definition and compare ours to
the model ordinances and determine the language most appropriate. Some definitions are fine
while others (e.g., Pedestal Sign) need help. I took the liberty of striking most of the language
from within pedestal sign definition but thinlc it still needs to be reworded. Another issue within
the definitions is the labeling used. For example, on Page 2 you see "Business Sign, Ground
Sign and Pedestal Sign". On Page 3, some of the definition terms are reversed, as in "Sign,
Flashing, or Sign, Directional". Either way, they need to be consistent. The list should also
include reference to pylon signs and signboards, among other potential definitions.
Exceptions. Section 1008.03, Subd. 2, on Page 4lists situations in which a permit is not needed.
(A) The City has never required a permit for installing a for sale or lease sign, regardless of the
size. Should this item be omitted? (B) This states that ID signs on residential properties do not
need a pernut if under two square feet. Since two square feet is the maximum allowed, we could
probably omit the size in this case as it implies a larger sign is OK with a building permit. (C)
This is similar to (B) in that a church sign under ten square feet does not require a permit. Does
this mean a larger sign is allowed with a building permit? The Code is silent on that question.
Staff would suggest adding a clause elsewhere in the Code to clarify this. Staff would also
suggest that any sign under ten square feet be exempt. For if not, that would mean home
occupation signs and other incidental or directional signs would require a permit.
Permit Fees. Section 1008.04, Subd. 2 states that the Council may waive a fee for a religious or
civic group. What, however, does "in its direction" mean? Should this be, "at its discretion" or
"on its direction"?
Issuance of Permit. Section 1008.05, Subd. 2, states that unusual signs or signs needing a
"special permiY' need to be referred to the Council for approval. What is a special permit? Is this
not in the realm of a variance? If the sign does not fit the stated standards, this would indicate
that the Council could approve a non-conforming sign. While in one sense this might be a good
approach in time-sensitive situations (such as advertising for an outdoor sale to occur in one
week), staff is more concerned that without any approval standazds, the Council's decision could
be viewed as being arbitrary and capricious.
Sign Installer's License. Section 1008.06 addresses the provisions for obtaining a license to
install signs. Other than simply indicating that the installer needs to have a license, I'm not sure
this whole section needs to be in the Code. If it does remain in the code, Subdivision 4 will need
to be changed as the license year is now the same as the calendar year.
Construction Standards. On Page 7, Subd. 1 f of Section 1008.08 requires that each sign be
installed with an identifying number. I don't think this is something that's done anymore. If not,
this could probably be omitted. Also on Page 7 is Subdivision li of Section 1008.08. Subpart

(1) is notorious for being one of the most confusing sections of the sign code. (Staff rewrote the
subdivision and added it to the last page for the Commission's review.) In the first line of
subpart (1), it refers to a signboard. This should be either be defined in the definition section or
omitted. Subpart (3) requires that ground signs be able to withstand wind pressures of not less
than 301bs per square foot. Staff suggests that reference to wind pressure or treated wood
members be addressed in Section 1008.08, Subd la. Subpart (4) should be changed to eliminate
the provision whereby a sign could be larger if the affected resident consents. What if the
consenting property owner moves and the new owner does not consent? Subpart (5) can be
dropped altogether as it seems to add more confusion to an already confusing subdivision. (What
makes a pedestal sign so special that it can be located adjacent to a right of way but a ground sign
needs to be set back 15 feet? A pedestal sign IS a ground sign....)
Allowed Si n�a�e. The table on Page 8 represents staffls attempt to put in one graphic all of the
signage allowed in all of the zoning districts. The Commission may notice that some of the
square footages are different staff took the liberty to adjusting the allowed areas to be less
restrictive in most cases and more restrictive in the maximum allowable ground sign size. The
table should be discussed to ensure that the area allowances are acceptable. At some point the
business community would also need to provide comment.
Variances. Is there a need to repeat the criteria for variance approval in Section 1008.11? Staff
would think that it would be easier to simply refer to Chapter 1125 rather than individually
listing the criteria.
Recommendation:
Please review the USSCF model ordinance and review staff's preliminary redraft. Also, please
provide any feedback you may have regarding the proposed revision schedule and direct staff to
make any changes if needed.

within two feet of the lines of any street, or within any public way, unless specifically authorized by other
ordinances or regulations of this jurisdiction or by specific authorization of the code official.
1004.3 Projections Over Public Ways. Signs projecting over public walkways may do so only subject to
the projection and clearance limits either defined herein or, if not so defined, at a minimum height of eight
(8) feet from grade level to the bottom of the sign. Signs, architectural projections, or sign structures
projecting over vehicular access areas must conform to the minimum height clearance limitations imposed
by the jurisdiction for such structures.
1004.4 Traffic Visibility. No sign or sign structure shall be erected at the intersection of any street in such
a manner as to obstruct free and clear vision, nor at any location where by its position, shape, or color it
may interfere with or obstruct the view of or be confused with any authorized traffic sign, signal or device.
1004.5 Computation of Frontage. If a premise conta.ins walls facing more than one property line or
encompasses property frontage bounded by more than one street or other property usages, the sign area(s)
for each building wall or property frontage will be computed separately for each building wall or property
line facing a different frontage. The sign area(s) thus calculated may then be applied to permitted signs
placed on each separate wall or property line frontage.
1004.6 Animation and Changeable Messages. Animated signs, except as prohibited in Section 1006, are
permitted in Commercial and Industrial zones only. Changeable signs, Manually Activated, are permitted
for nonresidential uses in all zones. Changeable signs, Electrically Activated, are permitted in all
nonresidential zones.
1004.7 Maintenance, Repair or Removal. Every sign permitted by this ordinance shall be kept in good
condition and repair. When any sign becomes insecure, in danger of falling, or is otherwise deemed unsafe
by the code official, or if any sign shall be unlawfully installed, erected, or maintained in violation of any
of the provisions of this ordinance, the owner thereof or the person or firm using same shall, upon written
notice by the code o�cial forthwith in the case of immediate danger, and in any case within not more than
ten (10) days, make such sign conform to the provisions of this ordinance, or shall remove it. If within ten
(10) days, the order is not complied with, the code official may remove or cause such signs to be removed
at the expense of the owner and/or the user of the sign.
1004.8 Obsolete Sign Copy. Any sign copy that no longer advertises or identi�es a use conducted on the
property on which said sign is erected must have the sign copy covered or removed within thirty (30) days
after written notification from the municipal code official; and upon failure to comply with such notice,
the code official is hereby authorized to cause removal of such sign copy, and any expense incident thereto

shall be paid by the owner of the building, structure, or ground on which the sign is located.
1004.9 Nonconforming Signs. Any sign legally existing at the time of the passage of this ordinance that
does not conform in use, location, height, or size with the regulations of the zone in which such sign is
located shall be considered a legal non-conforming use or structure and may continue in such status until
such time as it is either abandoned or removed by its owner, subject to the following limitations:
1) Structural alterations, enlargement or re-erection are permissible only where such
alterations will not increase the degree of nonconformity of the signs.
2) Any legal nonconforming sign shall be removed or rebuilt without increasing the existing
height or area if it is damaged, or removed if allowed to deteriorate to the extent that the cost
of repair or restoration exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the signs as
determined by the code o�cial
3) Signs that comply with either Item 1 or Item 2 above need not be permitted.

excluding automotive repair or service was too broad and would eliminate those businesses
adding aftermarket items to vehicles that do not cause a nuisance to the neighborhood.
Commissioner Johnson indicated he is involved with an aftermarket organization and had heard
from them that a statement disallowing service and repairs to automobiles could be construed as
discriminatory as this type of business does not necessarily cause a nuisance to the neighborhood.
He also indicated the organization believes a home business could fight the ordinance in Court and

CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION641-00, A RESOLUTION RECOMI��NDING
APPROVAL OF A MINOR SUBDIVISION OF 8480 EASTWOOD ROAD
Introduction:
Richard Cary, representing the property owners Sharlee and Peter Cleveland, is requesting
approval of a minor subdivision of 8480 Eastwood Road, a corner lot fronting on Eastwood Road
and County Road J. Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres in size in
which only one additional lot is created.
The 32,738 square foot lot is zoned R-1, single family residential and is designated as single
family detached according to the Comprehensive Plan. The lot split will create a new 14,202
square foot lot facing old County Road J leaving 18,536 square feet for the lot with the existing
home. Both lots would conform to all zoning and subdivision code requirements.
The applicant has submitted a certificate of survey which describes the proposed subdivision.
Discussion:
Staff has forwarded the certificate of survey to the City's engineering technician, the City's
attorney as well as the Ramsey County traffic engineer for review. Other than the need to
dedicate perimeter easements, the subdivision request is straightforward and does not pose any
issues.
This subdivision will be subject to park dedication requirements. The fee is 5% of the land value
of the land subdivided, less the value of any land already improved with single-family residential
dwellings. In this case, the fee would apply to 14,202 square feet of land at an assessed value of
$0.97 a square foot. The extrapolated value for the lot would be $13,776, of which five percent
would amount to a fee of $689. This fee would need to be paid prior to the City approving the
subdivision.
Due to the possibility of cancelled meetings later this month, staff scheduled this item to be heard
for consideration by the City Council on December 11, 2000.

Recommendataon:
Because this is a straightforward subdivision which satisfies all related code requirements, staff is
recommending that the Planning Commission approve the attached Resolution 641-00, subject to
the following stipulations:
The applicant shall retitle the survey to read "Certificate of Survey".
2. The applicant shall revise the survey to indicate 5-foot perimeter drainage and utility
easements around both lots, except lot lines abutting Eastwood Road and County Road J,
which shall indicate ten-foot easements.
3. The applicant shall arrange to execute and to record the drainage and utility easement
documents with Ramsey County.
4. The applicant shall be responsible for the drafting, execution and recordation of a utility
easement document granting in the favor of the Parcel A the south 15 feet of Parcel B for
sanitary sewer access. Said document shall be reviewed by the City Attorney and a copy
shall be placed on file with the City for reference.

RE: 8480 Eastwood Road Minor Subdivision
Dear Mr. Cary:
Phone: (612) 717-4000
Fax: (612) 784-3462
I am writing concerning your application for a minor subdivision of 8480 Eastwood Road in the
City of Mounds View.
We anticipate that the Plaxuzing Commission will hear your request on December 6, 2000 and
make a recommendation to the City Council based upon their findings. The Council will take
action on your subdivision request at its meeting either on December 11 or December 26. Your
presence at both the Planning Commission and City Council meetings would be advised.
I have forwarded a copy of the survey to our City Engineer, our City Attorney and the Ramsey
County Traffic Engineer for their review. I hope to receive their comments prior to the Planning
Commission making their recommendation.
As I mentioned to you before, this subdivision will require a paxk dedication fee equivalent to five
percent of the land-value of the newly-created lot. In addition, you will be responsible for
dedicating two easements with this subdivision: one for the sanitary sewer access along the south
15 feet of the remainder parcel, and the other for a perimeter drainage an:d utility easement on the
new lot, ten feet front and back, five feet on the sides. (Refer to the enclosed survey.)
Last, we will need to know iithe property is encumbered by any liens or mortgages, as any person
or entity having an interest in the property would need to give their or its consent to the
recordation of the easement documents and subdivision with Ramsey County.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Item # 6
City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: December 6, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION AND RECONSIDER.ATION OF ORDINANCE 672, AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 1106 OF THE MOiJNDS VIEW ZONING CODE
PERTAINING TO HOME OCCUPATIONS
Background:
The Planning Commission reviewed potential revisions to the Home Occupation Code on October
18�' and again on November lst before sending proposed Ordinance 672 on to the Council with a
recommendation of adoption. The City Council reviewed the proposed ordinance at their
worksession on November 8, and on November 13�' was scheduled to introduce the ordinance for
its first reading, but declined to do so after taking public testimony seeking further changes to the
ordinance. Rather than attempting to make any significant changes to the ordinance at the Council
level, the Council determined it would be prudent to have the Planning Commission review the
ordinance again with the specific goal of addressing the issue of non-resident employees.
Discussion:
As the Planning Commission is aware, the Code prohibits the employment of non-residents in a
home occupation. Staff is of the opinion that permitting non-resident employees to worlc at a home
occupation has the potential to change the essential nature, purpose and intent of a residential
district. It can be assumed that property owners usually invest in a honne with the expectation that
the homes in the neighborhood are dwelling units, not businesses. Property owners have vested
stakes in the preservation of the neighborhood and the introduction of non-resident workers with no
vested interest in the property is a legitimate concern for homeowners and their financial investment
in the property. That being said, however, there are certainly situations when the presence a non-
resident employee would not cause a problem; yet staffwould contend that the potential risk to the
community of opening that door outweighs any benefit gained by changing the Code to benefit one
particular home based business.
Staff has surveyed surrounding communities to determine how other cities address this issue.
(The results of that survey are attached in Table 1 and Table 2.) In summary, eight of the twelve
cities surveyed do allow for non-resident ennployees, five of which allow just one non-resident
employee while three cities allow non-resident employees only by conditional use (CUP).
Other Survev Results: All cities except Spring Lake Park limit parking to some extent, seven of
the cities do not allow any on-street parking. None of the cities, except the two that allow more
intensive home occupations by CUP, allow unrestricted off street parking similar to what was
contemplated by Ordinance 672. Five of the twelve cities require some form of licensing or
permitting; Mounds View does not. Two cities require all home occupations to obtain a
conditional use permit, while four other cities require a CUP for more intensive home
occupations. Nine of the cities surveyed include an area requirement that the home business may

Re-Examination of Ordinance 672

not exceed. Mounds View has no such requirement, which nneans the business could conceivably
take up 100% of the home, and since no restriction is nnade regarding the use of accessory
buildings, a home based business could dominate the accessory structures as well. Only three
cities include a limitation on the hours of operation. Regarding prohibited uses, the Planning
Commission took a considerable look at the potential of restricting automotive uses as a home
based business but in the end made no change in that regard. Half of the cities surveyed do
identify certain businesses as being prohibited—more concerning retail sales, automotive repair
and firearm sales.
7800 Gloria Circle: In October of this year, staff became aware (by means of an
anonymous complaint) of a possible violarion of the City's Home occupation ordinance at
7800 Gloria Circle. A letter was sent to the person residing at the address which pointed
out the requirements of the ordinance and that if the resident wished to continue operating
the business, it would need to comply with the Code. After receiving the letter, Mr.
Hollander, resident of 7800 Gloria Circle, contacted me regarding his business. I
reiterated the Code requirements and Mr. Hollander admitted that his business—which
employed the use on non-resident workers—could not comply with the requurements and
asked if the Code could be amended. It was at this time that the Planning Commission
was already reviewing the Code so Mr. Hollander surveyed his neighbors (an example of
his survey is attached for your reference) and made plans to address the Council when it
was scheduled to hold the first reading on November 13�'.
Mr. Hollander will explain that his business, which has operated at that location for more
than two years, poses no impact to the neighbors and actually provides an economic
benefit to the City by virtue of the fact that his employees shop, eat and do other business
in Mounds View. Staff however has received many calls in opposition to making any
changes to the Code, especially as it relates to non-resident employees and Mr.
Hollander. While this issue has been raised directly as a result of Mr. Hollander, the
Planning Commission has to consider that any changes that benefit Mr. Hollander will
also apply across-the-board to the whole City. Even if Mr. Hollander's business is
relatively unobtrusive, there is no guaxantee that that would be the case for all subsequent
home occupations to take advantage of non-resident employees.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission reconsider the ordinance as directed by the City
Council, yet should not limit its review to simply the issue of non-resident employees. .All of the
requirements contemplated by the Code should be re-examined in light of the survey results and
the concerns of residents that may choose to address the Commission.

Subject: Possible Changes to Mounds View's Home Occupation Code
Dear Mounds View Residents,
I am writing to inform you that the Planning Commission on December 6th and again on December 20th will be
considering changes to the City's Home Occupation ordinance, changes which could potentially affect every homeowner
and resident of the City.
Home occupations are businesses that are operated out of one's home, such as an accountant who has an office at
home, or a seamstress or dressmaker are other examples. Currently the City Code aflows home based business as long
as certain requirements are met. These requirements are as follows:
**�****�«�**************
1. Only residents may work at or for the business--no employees are allowed if they do not live on #he premises.
2. The business cannot alter the construction of the home or involve construction features not normally associated with a
home.
3. Exterior signage for the business is limited to one square foot, affixed to either the house or the garage.
4. There can be no exterior storage of equipment or materials associated with the business.
5. The business cannot generate more than two vehicles at a time for either an- or off-street parking.
6. The business cannot be a nuisance to other residents in the area or cause violations of the City's Nuisance Code.
7. The business must be completely contained with the home or garage; no activity shall be visible from the street.
�********,�*,�**,�*�**w*,�**,�*
A resident with a home based business has requested that the City remove the restriction prohibiting non-resident
employees.
What I would like to know, and the reason why I am writing, is If you lived in a house next to a person operating a
business from their home, what would your reaction be if that person could be allowed to have employees?
If you have ANY comment one way or the other, please respond by e-mail, by phone (763-717-4021) or by coming to the
meeting here at City hall on Wednesday, Qecember 6, 2000 at 7:00 pm. If you are unable to attend but would like to stay
informed regarding this issue, the Planning Commission meetings (as well as all council and commission meetings) are
broadcast live on Cable channel 16 and rebroadcast at other times as well (refer to your community newspaper for the
broadcast schedules.) If you do not have cable TV, you should know that you can have the community access channels
installed for free. Call 651-481-9554 for more information.
Thank you for this opportunity and I welcome any input you may have regarding this or any City-related issue.
Sincerely,
James Ericson

Dear Neighbors, 11-11-2000
My name is Todd Hollander, and I have lived at 7800 Gloria Circle for 2-1/2 years. As most of you
adready know, I have a small, home-based business called Prospects Unlimited. All our work is business-
to-business computer-related sales by phone. We have Irttle "tra�c ", no rreed of large signage, etc. I
have been told in the few neighborly inquiries 1 have made, that my business "has had little or no
noticeable negative effects ", and that they haven't minded what I am doang.
I started as a home-based business model because 1 wasn't "born with money ", and had no lines of credit
— not uncommon for those wanting to start a business.... so my choices were home based or nothing.
When 1 moved to this location it was only myself and one other part-timer. I still have that person, added
one more last year, arrd added 2 more this year. YVhen I reach S, I intend to move the operation out to
suitable local office space and contirrue residing here.
However, the matter has been brought to the attention of the City of Mounds View. (And coincidentally it
is it is a scheduled topic for Nov 13 at 7pm at the city of Mounds View town hall). (Please see
requirements #1 &#S of the attaclted letter.)
I(we) intend to try to demonstrate a few key considerations to the Moands View city council in an
attempt to achieve a less restrictive city ordinance. Our �oal is to see that Mounds View allow for
an amendment from the requirements #1  in the general citv ordinance if the business meets
the followin� criteria:
• 1I[' �! �/ l. /' /[! '/ l.'! / �� � I .' '! II / !' I /I'�� { �
� ! I' I / � 'I I ! '/( / / / / '/ . 'L!'/ . : ! : / / I'I ( l /l' � / ('
'�. '//'! .
This issue may be relatively unimportant to you, but I ask, how like[y is it that someone close to you — a
so�, daughter, or other close person - will be involved in a small start-up business? According to what
I've heard, the odds are good, and risimg quickly. And how will you feel when they can't pursue their
dream because they don't have the money, can't borrow it, AND can't work it out from their home?
The chance to start this business has made a GREAT difference in my life. But more importantly, I've
been proud to watch my business make a difference for others too! The 4 who work with me make MORE
than an average wage (average here is $17.50/hr), have BETTER than average working conditions, and
we SPEND money at local businesses. At several places we shop, we are so "regular", that we are known
on a first name basis with the owner (ABC Liquor, Holiday Gas, Mario's Movies, Spring Lake Lumber,
Riches Restaurant, etc).
Point is small businesses are imnortant, growing in imnortance. and we have the abylitv to decide
whether or not to be a restrictive communitv. So, whether it's to help us. to help the local taz base.
or simelv to allow vour friends and family t6e same chance I've had. I ask for you to take a moment
of time to express vourself (on the reverse sidel. If you are uncomfortable with thai option, call Jim
Ericson @ 717-4022 to tell hirn your personal feetings. Jim is our elected official, VERY fruendly and
helpful, and he wants to do what the community wantse Again, please taWe a minute to tell him (and
the council) your feelingse A completed statement has more "force" than a call, but doing one or the
other IS IlVIPORTANT!
Sincerely,

Item # 7
Czty of Mounds Vzew
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: December 6, 2000
Tatle: CONTINUED DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
CHA.PTER 1008 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE, "SIGN CODE"
Introduction:
Based upon the last meeting, staff has revised the proposed tinneline for the review of the Sign
Code. It can be further refined as we go along. The two changes were to switch the date for
review of temporary signage with the date to review ground signage. The other change was to
eliminate a specially-designated "business community" special meeting on February 7, 2000, the
rationale being that the business should be involved, or at least invited to be involved, at each of
the meetings.
Drscussion:
The Planning Commission had scheduled this meeting to review the definitions contained within
our code as well as to compare and contrast them with those definitions contained in other
ordinances. To help in accomplishing that goal, the Commission would be advised to bring to the
meeting the other ordinances previously provided to the Commission. In addition, staff has made
a photocopy for each of the Commissioners of the American Planning Association's Sign
Regulation handbook. The handout briefly reviews many of the issues associated with sign codes
and provides its version of a model sign ordinance. That document, along with the others already
reviewed, should provide a suitable foundation upon which to base our own Code revision.
Recommendation:
Please review the APA's Sign regulation handbook and be prepared to individually assess and
refine if necessary the definitions within our Sign Code. If time permits before the nneeting, staff
will attempt to provide a first draft of possible definition revisions.

Pl�nrier Ericson reviewed ea��i a� �a of the code he felt needed updating, changing, or clarifying,
r��"�rring first to the new ``Purpose" section. He indicated that each of the definitions would need
,
�b`' be carefully conside�`ed for possible changes. He pointed out that on Page 4 in Section
1Q�8.03 Subd. 2..��ferring to "Exceptions" would need to be revised to be clearer. He

���:€�mmended that ��ie phrase "in its direction" in Section 1008.04 be changed to read "at its

?��;t���c:�;; ����cating that the part dealing with "unusual signs or signs needing a special permit
s�i:�,t� �t� b� referred to Council for approval" should be rewritten for clarity. He advised that some
of the language in Section 1008.06, addressing the provisions for obtaining a license to install
signs, could possibly be removed from the code.
Planner Ericson continued by pointing out that Subd. lf of Section 1008.08 requiring signs to be
installed with identifying numbers may not be applicable and as such, could either be eliminated or
changed. He stated that in his opinion, subpart lof Subd. li of Section 1008.08 subpart 1 is one
of the most confusing sections of the sign code. Planner Ericson indicated because of the

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: December 6, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION641-00, A RESOLUTION RECONIlVIENDING
APPROVAL OF A MINOR SUBDIVISION OF 8480 EASTWOOD ROAD
Introductaon:
Richard Cary, representing the property owners Sharlee and Peter Cleveland, is requesting
approval of a minor subdivision of 8480 Eastwood Road, a corner lot fronting on Eastwood Road
and County Road J. Minor subdivisions are those divisions of land less than two acres in size in
which only one additional lot is created.
The 32,738 square foot lot is zoned R-1, single family residential and is designated as single
family detached according to the Comprehensive Plan. The lot split will create a new 14,202
square foot lot facing old County Road J leaving 18,536 square feet for the lot with the existing
home. Both lots would conform to all zoning and subdivision code requirements.
The applicant has submitted a certificate of survey which describes the proposed subdivision.
Discussaon:
Staff has forwarded the certificate of survey to the City's engineering technician, the City's
attorney as well as the Ramsey County traffic engineer for review. Other than the need to
dedicate perimeter easements, the subdivision request is straightforward and does not pose any
issues.
This subdivision will be subject to park dedication requirements. The fee is 5% of the land value
of the land subdivided, less the value of any land already improved with single-family residential
dwellings. In this case, the fee would apply to 14,202 square feet of land at an assessed value of
$0.97 a square foot. The extrapolated value for the lot would be $13,776, of which iive percent
would amount to a fee of $689. This fee would need to be paid prior to the City approving the
subdivision.
Due to the possibility of cancelled meetings later this month, staff scheduled this item to be heard
for consideration by the City Council on December 11, 2000.

RE: 8480 Eastwood Road Minor Subdivision
Dear Mr. Cary:
Phone: (612) 717-4000 -
Fax: (612) 784-3462
I am writing concerning your application for a minor subdivision of 8480 Eastwood Road in tlne
City of Mounds View.
We anticipate that the Planning Commission will hear your request on December 6, 2000 and
make a recommendation to the City Council based upon their findings. The Council will take
action on your subdivision request at its meeting either on December 11 or December 26. Your
presence at both the Pla.nning Commission and City Council, meetings would be advised.
I have forwarded a copy of the survey to our City Engineer, our City Attorney and the Ramsey
County Traffic Engineer for their review. I hope to receive their comments prior to the Planning
Comrnission making their recommendation.
As I mentioned to you before, this subdivision v✓ill require a paxk dedication fee equivalent to five
percent of the land-value of the newly-created lot. In addition, you will be responsible for
dedicating two easements with this subdivision: one for the sariitary sewer access along the south
15 feet of the remainder parcel, and the other for a perimeter drainage and utility easement on the
new lot, ten feet front and back, five feet on the sides. (Refer to the enclosed survey.)
Last, we will need to know if the property is encumbered by any liens or mortgages, as any person
or entity having an interest in the property would need to give their or its consent to the
recordation of the easement documents and subdivision with Ramsey County.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
� J G��

Item # 6
City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: December G, 2000
Title: DISCUSSION AND RECONSIDERA.TION OF ORDINANCE 672, AN ORDINANCE
AMENDING CHAPTER 1106 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW ZONING CODE
PERTAINING TO HOME OCCUPATIONS
Background:
The Planning Commission reviewed potential revisions to the Home Occupation Code on October
18�' and again on November 15` before sending proposed Ordinance 672 on to the Council with a
recommendation of adoption. The City Council reviewed the proposed ordinance at their
worksession on November 8, and on November 13`h was scheduled to introduce the ordinance for
its first reading, but declined to do so after taking public testimony seeking further changes to the
ordinance. Rather than attempting to make any significant changes to the ordinance at the Council
level, the Council determined it would be prudent to have the Planning Commission review the
ordinance again with the specific goal of addressing the issue of non-resident ennployees.
Drscussion:
As the Planning Commission is aware, the Code prohibits the employment of non-residents in a
home occupation. Staff is of the opinion that permitting non-resident employees to work at a home
occupation has the potential to change the essential nature, purpose and intent of a residential
district. It can be assumed that property owners usually invest in a home with the expectation that
the homes in the neighborhood are dwelling units, not businesses. Property owners have vested
stakes in the preservation of the neighborhood and the introduction of non-resident workers with no
vested interest in the property is a legitimate concern for homeowners and their financial investment
in the property. That being said, however, there are certainly situations when the presence a non-
resident employee would not cause a problem; yet staffwould contend that the potential risk to the
community of opening that door outweighs any benefit gained by changing the Code to benefit one
particular home based business.
Staff has surveyed surrounding communities to determine how other cities address this issue.
(The results of that survey are attached in Table 1 and Table 2.) In summary, eight of the twelve
cities surveyed do allow for non-resident employees, five of which allow just one non-resident
employee while three cities allow non-resident employees only by conditional use (CUP).
Other Survev Results: All cities except Spring Lake Park limit parking to some e�ent, seven of
the cities do not allow any on-street parking. None of the cities, except the two that allow more
intensive home occupations by CUP, allow unrestricted off street parking similar to what was
contemplated by Ordinance 672. Five of the twelve cities require some form of licensing or
permitting; Mounds View does not. Two cities require all home occupations to obtain a
conditional use permit, while four other cities require a CUP for more intensive home
occupations. Nine of the cities surveyed include an area requirement that the home business may

not exceed. Mounds View has no such requirement, which means the business could conceivably
take up 100% of the home, and since no restriction is made regarding the use of accessory
buildings, a home based business could dominate the accessory structures as well. Only three
cities include a limitation on the hours of operation. Regarding prohibited uses, the Planning
Commission took a considerable look at the potential of restricting automotive uses as a home
based business but in the end made no change in that regard. Half of the cities surveyed do
identify certain businesses as being prohibited—more concerning retail sales, automotive repair
and firearm sales.
7800 Gloria Circle: In October of this year, staff became aware (by means of an
anonymous complaint) of a possible violation of the City's Home occupation ordinance at
7800 Gloria Circle. A letter was sent to the person residing at the address which pointed
out the requirements of the ordinance and that if the resident wished to continue operating
the business, it would need to comply with the Code. After receiving the letter, Mr.
Hollander, resident of 7800 Gloria Circle, contacted me regarding his business. I
reiterated the Code requirements and Mr. Hollander admitted that his business—which
employed the use on non-resident workers—could not comply with the requirements and
asked if the Code could be amended. It was at this time that the Planning Commission
was already reviewing the Code so Mr. Hollander surveyed his neighbors (an example of
his survey is attached for your reference) and made plans to address the Council when it
was scheduled to hold the first reading on November 13t"
Mr. Hollander will explain that his business, which has operated at that location for more
than two years, poses no impact to the neighbors and actually provides an economic
benefit to the City by virtue of the fact that his employees shop, eat and do other business
in Mounds View. Staff however has received many calls in opposition to making any
changes to the Code, especially as it relates to non-resident employees and Mr.
Hollander. While this issue has been raised directly as a result of Mr. Hollander, the
Planning Commission has to consider that any changes that benefit Mr. Hollander will
also apply across-the-board to the whole City. Even if Mr. Hollander's business is
relatively unobtrusive, there is no guarantee that that would be the case for all subsequent
home occupanons to take advantage of non-resident employees.
Recommendation:
Staf�'recommends that the Planning Commission reconsider the ordinance as directed by the City
Council, yet should not limit its review to simply the issue of non-resident employees. A11 of the
requirements contemplated by the Code should be re-examined in light of the survey results and
the concerns of residents that may choose to address the Commission.

Subject: Possible Changes to Mounds View's Home Occupation Code
Dear Mounds View Residents,
I am writing to inform you that the Planning Commission on December 6th and again on December 20th will be
considering changes to the City's Home Occupation ordinance, changes which could potentially affect every homeowner
and resident of the City.
Home occupations are businesses that are operated out of one's home, such as an accountant who has an office at
home, or a seamstress or dressmaker are other examples. Currently the City Code allows home based business as long
as certain requirements are met. These requirements are as follows:
,t,t*,t,t *vr*,r*,t,ir,t**,r+r***,�w,t,r
1. Only residents may work at or for the business--no employees are allowed if they do not live on the premises.
2. The business cannot alter the construction of the home or involve construction features not normally associated with a
home.
3. Exterior signage for the business is limited to one square foot, affixed to either the house or the garage.
4. There can be no exterior storage of equipment or materials associated with the business.
5. The business cannot generate more than two vehicles at a time for either on- or off-street parking.
6. The business cannot be a nuisance to other residents in the area or cause violations of the City's Nuisance Code.
7. The business must be completely contained with the home or garage; no activity shall be visible from the street.
***�**w***,�*,�,�****�*******
A resident with a home based business has requested that the City remove the restriction prohibiting non-resident
employees.
What I would like to know, and the reason why I am writing, is If you lived in a house next to a person operating a
business from their home, what would your reaction be if that person could be allowed to have employees?
If you have ANY comment one way or the other, please respond by e-mail, by phone (763-717-4021) or by coming to the
meeting here at City hall on Wednesday, December 6, 2000 at 7:00 pm. If you are unable to attend but would like to stay
informed regarding this issue, the Planning Commission meetings (as well as all council and commission meetings) are
broadcast live on Cable channel 16 and rebroadcast at other times as well (refer to your community newspaper for the
broadcast schedules.) If you do not have cable TV, you should know that you can have the community access channels
installed for free. Call 651-481-9554 for more information.
Thank you for this opportunity and I welcome any input you may have regarding this or any City-related issue.

Dear Neighbors, 11-11-2000
My name is Todd Hollander, and I have lived at 7800 Gloria Circle for 2-1/2 years. As most of you
already know, 1 have a small, home-based business called Prospects Unlimited. All our work is business-
to-business computer-related sales by phorte. We have little "tra�c ", no need of large signage, etc. I
have been told irr the few neighborly inquiries 1 have made, that my business "has had little or no
noticeable negatrve effects ", and that they haven't minded what I am doing.
I started as a home-based business model because I wasn't "born with money ", and had no lines of credit
— not urrcommon for those wanting to start a busi�ess.... so my choices were home based or nothing.
When I moved to this location it was only myself and one other part-timer. I still have that person, added
one more last year, and added 2 more this year. When I reach 5, I intend to move the operation out to
suitable local offace space and continue residing here.
However, the matter has bee» brought to the attention of the City of Mounds View. (And coincidentally it
is it is a scheduled topic for Nov 13 at 7pm at the ciry of Mounds View town hall). (Please see
requfrements #1 &#S of the attaclied letter)
I(we) intend to try to demonstrate a few key considerations to the Mounds View city conncil in an
attempt to achieve a less restrictive city ordinance. Our goal is to see that Mounds View allow for
an amendment from the requirements #1  in the general city ordinance if the business meets
the followin� criteria:
� /[�' �� �� �.. �' a! '� �.'� � t . � .' 'I I! � I ' r ��'�, !
� I /' / /� '( ! [ '/(/ l! / '� . 'L!'/ . � : I / /'/ ('�/ /(' I / !'
'!. '/['( .
This issue may be relatively unimportant to you, but I ask, how likely is it that someone close to you — a
son, daughter, or other c[ose person - will be involved in a smull start-up business? According to what
I've heard, the odds are good, and rising quickly. And how will you feel when they can't pursue their
dream because they don't have the money, can't borrow it, AND can't work it out from their home?
The chance to start this business has made a GREAT difference in my life. But more importantly, I've
been proud to watch my business make a difference for others too! The 4 who work with me make MORE
than an average wage (average here is $17.50/hr), have BETTER than average working conditions, and
we SPEND money at local businesses. At several places we shop, we are so "regular", that we are lrnown
on a first name basis with the owner (ABC Liquor, Holiday Gas, Mario's Movies, Spring Lake Lumber,
Riches Restaurant, etc).
Point is small businesses are important, growin� in importance. and we have the abilitv to decide
whether or not to be a restrictive communitv. So, whether it's to help us. to help the local taz base.
or simplv to allow your friends and familv the same chance I've had. I ask for vou to take a moment
of time to express vourself (on the reverse sidel. If you are uncomfortable with that option, call Jim
Ericson @ 7I7-4022 to tell him your personal feelings. Jim is our elected o�cial, VERY friendly and
helpful, and he wants to do what the community wants. Again, please take a minute to tell him (and
the counc�l) your feelings. A completed statement has more "force" than a call, bnt doing one or the
other IS IIVIPORTANT!
Sincerely,

Czty of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: DecembeY 6, 2000
Title: CONTINUED DISCUSSION REGARDING PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
CHAPTER 1008 OF THE MLJNICIPAL CODE, "SIGN CODE"
Introduction:
Based upon the last meeting, staff has revised the proposed timeline for the review of the Sign
Code. It can be further refined as we go along. The two changes were to switch the date for
review of temporary signage with the date to review ground signage. The other change was to
eliminate a specially-designated "business community" special meeting on February 7, 2000, the
rationale being that the business should be involved, or at least invited to be involved, at each of
the meetings.
Discussion:
The Planning Commission had scheduled this meeting to review the definitions contained within
our code as well as to compare and contrast them with those definitions contained in other
ordinances. To help in accomplishing that goal, the Commission would be advised to bring to the
meeting the other ordinances previously provided to the Commission. In addition, staff has made
a photocopy for each of the Commissioners of the American Planning Association's Sign
Regulation handbook. The handout briefly reviews many of the issues associated with sign codes
and provides its version of a model sign ordinance. That document, along with the others already
reviewed, should provide a suitable foundation upon which to base our own Code revision.
Recommendation:
Please review the APA's Sign regulation handbook and be prepared to individually assess and
refine if necessary the definitions within our Sign Code. If time permits before the meeting, staff
will attempt to provide a first draft of possible definition revisions.

for ini��t�� �� i� �;����n��� or revisions to the timeline.
,
Pl��n�er Ericson reviewed ea�h area of the code he felt needed updating, changing, or clarifying,
r�f�rring first to the new �`Purpose" section. He indicated that each of the definitions would need
ta ;be carefully consid�,�ed for possible changes. He pointed out that on Page 4 in Section
10Qb.03, Subd. 2, �r�;�`erring to "Exceptions" would need to be revised to be clearer. He
, ;;.,
��Y,�;s��rnmended tha� �Iie phrase "in its direction" in Section 1008.04 be changed to read "at its
��i;�� z� ����«" �a�`-pu��`pose of clarity. He referred to Section 1008.05, Subd. 2 concerning permit
�=�;�f �!���;�z ���t��cating that the part dealing with "unusual signs or signs needing a special permit
��.�'; ��; r�r; i=eferred to Council for approval" should be rewritten for clarity. He advised that some
of the language in Section 1008.06, addressing the provisions for obtaining a license to install
signs, could possibly be removed from the code.
Planner Ericson continued by pointing out that Subd. lf of Section 1008.08 requiring signs to be
installed with identifying numbers may not be applicable and as such, could either be eliminated or
changed. He stated that in his opinion, subpart lof Subd. li of Section 1008.08 subpart 1 is one
of the most confusing sections of the sign code. Planner Ericson indicated because of the

their review. Planner Ericson indicated that the table on Page 8 identifying signage by �oning
district was added as a result of the suggestions made by the Comznission a7. ii;� last rzx��ting. The
last issue addressed by Planner Ericson concerned the varianr� langu��;�, 'and �vfiether it is

Temporary Signs on the schedule to accoxnmodate the holiday rush times for business owners.
It was the consent of the Commission to notify local business owners of the meetings to discuss
proposed changes to the sign ordinance and to inform them there will be a business owner's

City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date:
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE REQUEST TO ALLOW FOR A GARAGE ADDITION
(LEAN-TO) UP TO THE PROPERTY LINE (ZERO SETBACK) AT 7764 GREENWOOD
DRIVE
Background:
John Wilson, property owner of 7764 Greenwood Drive, has requested a variance to permit a
garage addition built onto the side of his garage up to the north side property line. The structure
has already been constructed without a permit. Staff became aware of the structure in May after
neighbors called to complain about it. The Building Tnspector visited the property and sent a
letter to Mr. Wilson on June 8, indicating that a building permit had not been obtained and that
the construction was in violation of Code requirements.
Mr. Wilson did contact staff after receiving the letter, and he was told that he would either need
to remove the garage addition or apply for a variance. After not hearing back from Mr. Wilson,
staff left additional voice mail messages for him, and was finally contacted by Mr. Wilson on
September 5. I followed up with a letter that same day, again indicating that a variance would be
necessary to keep the structure. Attached to that letter was a planning application and a handout
regarding variances.
Two months later, staff had not yet received an application and once again sent a letter to Mr.
Wilson, this time indicating that is an application was not received by December 1, a Ramsey
County court citation would be issued in his name. Staffreceived the application on November
20, 2000.
Discussion:
As with any variance application, for the Planning Commission to act favorably, there must be a
demonstrated hardship or practical dif�iculty associated with the property that makes a literal
interpretation of the Code overly burdensome or restrictive to a property owner. State statutes
require that the governing body review a set of specified criteria for each application and make its
decision in accordance with these criteria. These criteria are set forth in Section 1125.02,
Subdivision 2, of the City Code. The Code clearly states that a hardship e�sts when all of the
criteria are met. (The applicant had been sent a list of the criteria and was encouraged to submit a
written response to demonstrate his hardship.) The individual criteria, with responses, are as
follows:
. . . . �. . . � L
Wilson Variance Report
December 20, 2000
Page 2
a. Exceptional oi• extraordinary circumstances apply to the p�•opef°t�� which do nvt apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from Zot size or
shape, topog�°aphy or other circumstances over which the owne�°s of the property since
the effective date hereof have had no control.
There are no extraordinary circumstances which apply to this property.
b. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the applicant of
rrghts con2monly enjoyed by other properties in the same distt•ict under the terms of this
Title.
The literal interpretation would not deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by
others in the district.
That the special conditions or circumstances do not result fi•onT the actions of the
applicant.
The applicant is clearly responsible for the conditions which have prompted him to apply for
a variance. Had the applicant applied for a building permit prior to doing the work, he
would have been told that the addition would be in violation of the Zoning Code.
d. That granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special
privilege that is denied by this Title to owners of other lands, siructures or buildings in
the same district. ,
Granting this variance would confer upon the applicant a special privilege in that other
property owners are not allowed to build within the five foot setback.
e. That the variance f•equested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship.
Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship.
Because the structure is already in place, the variance requested is the minimum that
would be necessary to maintain the structure.
f. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title or to other
property in the same zone.
Given the circumstances, staff strongly feels that granting the variance request would be
materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title. In addition, granting the variance
would set a dangerous precedent, sending a message to residents that it is acceptable to
ignore the building code and zoning code requirements by seelcing approval through the
variance provision.
g. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets or increase the

dange�• of fire or endcrnge�° the public safety o�� substa��tzally dinzinash o�• ii�zpai�� prope�•ty
values ivithin the neighbo�°hood.
While the addition would not impair an adequate supply of light or air to the adjoining
property, if left in place, stormwater runoffwould continue to drain onto the adjoining
property. It could be argued that the adjoining property's value could be impacted by the
structure located up to the property line.
After reviewing the criteria and the details of the variance request, staff has determined that the
criteria are not satisfied and thus the request should be denied.
Recommendatfon:
Approve Resolution 645-00, a resolution �lenying the variance request of John Wilson to have a
garage addition up to the property line and requiring the property owner to remove the structure
within 30 days of the date of denial.

Re: Lean-To Attached to Garage
Dear Mr. Wilson:
Phone: (612) 717-4000
Fax: (612) 784-3�462
The City has become aware of a lean-to type structure that has recently been constructed
on your property at 7764 Greenwood Drive. City records show that a pernut has not been
applied for nor issued for this project. Tn addition, after a site inspection of the property,
the City found that this structure is not in compliance with Building Code requirements.
The City appreciates your efforts to keep your property orderly, however, Code
requirements must be followed while doing so.
Please call me at your earliest convenience so that we may discuss this matter further. I
can be reached at (763) 717-4026.
Sincerely,
CITY OF M�UNDS VIEW

RE: Variance Application
John:
Phone: (612) 717-4('
Fax: (612) 784-3�
(By Mail & Fax)
Thank you for contacting me today regarding your garage and lean-to at 7764 Greenwood Drive.
As you are aware, your, lean to—which was constructed without a building permit—violates the
City Code in that it encroaches into the required 5-foot side yard setback. In addition, the size of
the garage with the lean-to exceeds the City's maximum square footage and thus requires approval
of a conditional use permit.
I am attaching a planning application and a handout regarding variances that details the seven
criteria the Planning Cornmission considers when determining if hardship e�sts. Please include a
letter with your application that addresses the seven hardship criteria and any other information
you feel would be beneficial regarding your reyuest.
If the Planning Commission approves your request for a variance, you would then be required to
apply for and obtain a conditional use permit. If the Planning Comrrussion denies your request,
you would then be required to remove the lean-to within a prescribed period of time.
If you have any questions about this, please contact me at 763-717-4022.
Sincerely,
�J (iU�t.e� ��.c��i-&�.

RE: Garage Addition
Deax Mr. Wilson:
Phone: (612) 717-4000
Fax: (612) 784-3462
On September 5, 2000, we spoke about the extension of the roof you added to the garage without a
building permit. That same day, I sent out a letter confirming our conversation and enclosed for
your use an application for a variance, which is required because the structure was built up to the
property line. It has been two months and I have not heard back from you nor have we received
your application. .
;___ While we understand that you—lilce everyone—have many things that keep you busy, resolving
this code violation should be a priority. Assuming you still have the application, please return it to
me with the appropriate� fee along with a statement addressing the hardslup which would warrant
the approval of the variance.
If we do not receive your application by December 1, 2000, you will be issued a Ramsey County
court citation for violation of the city's building and zoning codes and for failure to correct said
violations. Violations such as these are misderneanors, which carry a rnaximum $700 fine.
If you have any questions about this, please contact me at 763-717-4022.

RESOLUTIOl�T NO. 645-00
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RA,MSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION DENYING A VARIANCE FROM CHAPTER 1104 OF THE ZONING
CODE PERTAINING TO ACCESSORY BUILDING SETBACKS,
REQUESTED BY JOHN WILSON, 7764 GREEWOOD DRIVE;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE VR00-008.
WHEREAS, The applicant, John Wilson, has applied for a variance to allow for an
addition to his garage located adjacent to the north property line of his property located at 7764
Greenwood Drive; and,
WHEREAS, the City Code, in Section 1104.01, Subd. 4a(1), states that accessory
buildings in a residential district shall be set back five feet from property lines; and,
WHEREAS, 7764 Greenwood Drive is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and is
legally described as follows:
The South 80 Teet ofLot 45, Spring I,ake ParkHillview
Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the following
documents regarding this proposal:
1. Planning Application
2. Zoning Map
3. Letters to Resident
4. Staff Report
WFIEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give relief to
property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements imposes a hardship
thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical difficulties brought about by
unique or extraordinary features of the physical property that are beyond the property owner's
control; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding this request on
December 20, 2000; and,
WHEI2EAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal
Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of which all must be
satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
�_ __ _ � ,�_ _ - -
Resolution 645-00
Page 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125,02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are not satisfied and finds there to be insufficient hardship with regard to the
property located at 7764 Greenwood Drive, and makes the following findings of fact related to its
decision:
There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances related to the property located at
7764 Greenwood Drive. The lot meets and exceeds all minimum zoning requirements, is
rectangular without any slope or any topographical deviations.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would not deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the
terms of the Code.
3. Without an evident hardship tied to the property itself, it would be inappropriate to grant a
variance to allow for an addition with no setback from the property line and would set a
precedent for other property owners.
4. Granting a variance to allow for an addition with no setback from the property line would
be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code in accessory buildings are not
allowed closer than five feet to a property ]ine.
5. By building the structure without a building permit, the applicant has caused the conditions
which require approval of the variance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission, based upon the above findings, denies the variance request of John Wilson, 7764
Greenwood Drive, to allow for a garage addition with no setback from the property line.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ADDITIONALLY RESOLVED, the Planning
Commission does hereby require that the garage addition be removed at the property owner's
expense within 30 days of the date of this denial.
Adopted this 20th day of December, 2000.

Reference: Public Hearing
Variance Request John Wilson
Lean To Addition to Garage
Mr. Ericson:
As I will not be available to attend the meeting, on the above referenced public hearing,
scheduled for December 20`�'. I would like to make my feels known.
First of all I feel this request is very redundant as the lean-to has been in place since this
summer. This lean-to should be torn down; it is in direct violation of city and property
codes. Mr. Wilson is also running a business from this location which is not allowed in
the City of Mounds View. How much longer are you going to allow this to happen?
If this lean-to is not taken dowra I will put one on my pxoperty next yeaz, to the south, and
use it for a carport. I will apply for the variance after it is done.
It has been my experience with the City of Mounds View that rules are made for only
certain individuals to follow and the majority can do as they please. This City, by not
effectively taking action, to any requests for changes on Greenwood Drive, have allowed
Greenwood Drive to become the garbage area of Mounds View. The individua.ls on
Greenwood Drive are getting tired of your ineptness.
Thank you.

Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: December 20, 2000
Title:
RECONSIDERATION OF A ORDINANCE 672, AN OR.DINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER
1106 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW ZONING CODE PERTATNING TO HOME OCCUPATIONS
Introduction:
The Planning Commission reviewed potential revisions to the Home Occupation Code on October
18"' and again on November 1S` before sending proposed Ordinance 672 on to the Council with a
recommendation of adoption. The City Council reviewed the proposed ordinance at their
worksession on November 8, and on November 13"' was scheduled to introduce the ordinance for
its first reading, but declined to do so after taking public testimony seeking further changes to the
ordinance. Rather than attempting to make any significant changes to the ordinance at the Council
level, the Council determined it would be prudent to have the Planning Commission review the
ordinance again with the specific goal of addressing the issue of non-resident employees.
Discussion:
At the meeting on December 6, 2000, the Planning Commission reconsidered the ordinance and
took considerable testimony from the public, reviewed a summary of e-mailed responses on the
topic and came to a majority consensus as to how the ordinance should be drafted in light of the
new information.
As to the issue of allowing employees, a majority of the Commission concluded that it saw no
reason to change the ordinance to allow employees, citing concerns from residents and the
potential for changing the essential nature of a neighborhood. A nnajority of the e-mailed
responses and those who spoke out at the last meeting had concerns regarding on-street parking
associated with a home occupation. Based on that, the Commission chose to modify its original
change concerning parking to disallow on-street parking altogether yet retained the change that
dropped the limitation on the number of vehicles that could be parked oi� street, so long as the
vehicles were parlced in compliance with the City's nuisance codes. Otherwise, the Planning
Commission agreed to keep the ordinance as it had originally recommended for approval.
Because, however, one change was made to the Ordinance, the Planning Commission should
reaffirm its recommendation by approving a new resolution.

Item # 7
City of Mounds View
Planning Commission Report
Meeting Date: DecenzbeY 20, 2000
Title:
CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION 644-00, A RESOLUTION SETTING THE
PLANNING COMMISSION'S 2001 MEETING SCHEDULE.
Introductaon:
The Planning Commission establishes its meeting schedule each year by resolution.
Discussion:
The meeting schedule proposed for 2001 represents the usual every first and third Wednesday,
with the exception of July. The first Wednesday in July is July 4�', so that day was not marked as
a meeting date. Instead, only the third Wednesday is listed as a meeting date. Unless the
Commission feels differently, I would suggest not scheduling a second meeting in July at this time.
Rather, if a second meeting is needed due to workload, it can be scheduled then at a time
convenient for the Commission.
The proposed meeting schedule is consistent with the Municipal Code as well as the
Commission's own Bylaws.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 644-00, a resolution establishing the 2001 meeting schedule of the Planning
Commission.

Vicki Kluck, 5467 Adams Street, told the Planning Commission there is a lawn care service
business operated out of the home across the street from her. The business has :b��ri and
continues to be a nuisance for the neighborhood. There are employee vehicles parlced ��; �he street
causing visibility issues for cars traveling on the street. The vehicles are ������l��c� a��l�t�ss from her

Terry Wiley, 2.277 �)a.�r����4c1 ][��-ive, ine�icated he felt the ordinance should not be changed as
home-b��ed businesse� s��c��a}cl nnt have ernployees. If a home-based business needs to expand to
havin� employees ir�c r�u ,il���,;; should expand to a commercial building. There is plenty of
al space avail�.3.�1� �i'�hin the City and this would be a more proper venue for an
; business than; �`resideilce. He requested the City not loosen restrictions or change the
to be more lz�;�ral.
�'�i�irperson Petersp�i explained the reason the ordinance changes were being discussed in the first
�s��j��r., ��r�� tn �le�.tt up the ordinance to malce it easier to understand. At that time there was a
ruii�cr�� c,.�i�-�r��c; �o on or off street parking but the ordinance was not approved by Council and is
�,�a !<: �,�;�ore the Planning Commission for discussion and resident input as to whether the
ordinance should be changed.
Mr. Wiley indicated parlung is a huge issue for residents when a business has vehicles parked on
the street. Snow removal cannot be done properly which is unfair to the neighbors. He also
believes neighbors have a responsibility to get along with one another and if one is operating a
business causing a nuisance to the neighborhood it should not be allowed.
