Mounds View Planning Commission August 7 , 1986 Regular Meeting Page Two WChairman Mountin clarified how the variances were given in 1983, and she stated the variances stay with the property but that does not mean that further variances have to be granted. Director Thatcher pointed out that a 12 month time limit was set on the wetlands alteration permit in Resolution No. 94-83, and that time limit has expired. Chairman Mountin stated she did not have a problem with granting the variances for the building in the buffer zone, as long as the other issues, such as parking and open space, can be resolved without granting further variances. Commissioner Zollner expressed concern with letting the applicant build in the wetland buffer area, and she noted the concern that had been expressed about the same matter in the previous case. There was discussion among the Commissioners of how the parking would be best situated and what should actually be required. Art Fretag, of Dynamic Designers, explained the units would be one bedroom units, and planned for single •dults. He also stated they could put something in their bylaws, stating that nothing could be parked outside the garage. The Planning Commission recommended going with seven indoor parking spaces, and 8 outdoor spots, which would allow more room for turning around. Director Thatcher explained that a four unit building would meet the open space requirements and the parking space requirements, without requiring any variances. After considerable discussion, the Planning Commission decided to continue discussion on this request to their next meeting.
