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.
c. All lighting shall be hooded and so directed that the light source shall not be visible
from the public right of way or from neighboring residences and shall be in
compliance with Section 1103.09 of the Code.
The applicant will not have any lighting associated with the produce stand as it will be
operating during daylight hours.
d. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust.
The applicant is proposing to use an existing parking lot which is surfaced with asphalt.
This criterion is met.
WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council has considered the provisions from Section
1125.01(I)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.
(5) The demonstrated need for such use.
The proposal is for a temporary produce stand in the parking lot of an existing shopping
center. The Comprehensive Plan designates this site as HC--Highway Commercial. The
produce stand is an appropriate use within this designation. 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 sale of produce is a typical seasonal business in a
community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. The short duration of
the use will result in little, if any, adverse effect upon the surrounding area.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission of the City of Mounds View has recommended in
Resolution 543-98 approval of this CUP request for Menyville Farm Market.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council
approves the conditional use permit for Menyville Farm Market with the following stipulations:
1. The facility shall be allowed to operate from July 1, 1998, to September 30, 1998.
