The parking lot fronting Highway 10 does not abut any residential properties. The
nearest residential property is Wildwood Manor, an apartment building for senior
citizens, which would be well screened from the proposed use by a stand of trees and
separated by the intervening Highway 10. This criterion has been met.
c. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust.
The applicant is proposing to use an existing parking lot which is swfaced with asphalt.
This criterion is met.
d. The provisions of Section 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met.
Adverse Effects: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider possible adverse
effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon
(but not limited to) the following factors:
(1)
(2)
(3)
Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive 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 use.
(4)
(5)
The proposal is for a temporary greenhouse in the parking lot of an existing shopping
center. The shopping center is surrounded by roadways and the area where the use is to
be located is 1,000 feet from the nearest residential property. The short duration of the
use will result in little, if any, effect upon the surrounding area. The sale off/owen; and
plants is a typical seasonal business in a community such as Mounds View and it serves a
community need. This criterion is met.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves
the conditional use permit requested by Linder's Greenhouses with the following stipulations:
1. The facility shall be allowed to operate from March 15, 1998, to July 15, 1998.
2. The hours of operation of the facility shall not exceed 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
3.
Only the signage shown on the Greenhouse Design Plan shall be allowed.
