Planning Case
There was discussion concerning plans for upgrading No. 256-88
of the pipe size connecting onto Long Lake Road. Any
plans would have to be submitted to the County this
fall, for incorporation into the work they will be
doing. Presently the smaller size pipe is planned
for, but when outlot A is considered in the future,
the pipe size will be reconsidered at that time.
There was discussion on the advisability of taking
• easements on the outlot at this time, in the event
of a future street.
Ms. Hren pointed out the outlot is not buildable,
and if the property owner should choose to do some-
thing with the outlot in the future, that would be
the time to take an easement. She also read from
a letter from City Attorney Karney, in which he
stated he did not feel it was necessary to take an
easement at this time.
Mr. Mezzenga noted there is a street easement that
goes to the outlot presently.
Chair Mountin suggested leaving the issue of the
easement on the agenda session discussion list, until
it is resolved.
Councilmember Wuori noted the Planning Commission
would make a recommendation to the Council on the
issue of taking an easement, and the Council
would have a public hearing on the issue.
Chair Mountin asked that the proposed resolution be
changed to include reference to Exhibit A, the site
plan, which would be the date stamped plan received
•
by the City. She noted this was an easy reference
for developments and recommended that the hand drawn
plans which were signed and dated on August 2 be
referenced as attached.

PUD amendment to Mounds View Business Park South, to a Planned Unit

posing building recalculations of square footage, but Amendment for
will still have approximately the same total square Mounds View
footage on the site. 30 additional parking stalls Business Park
have been added, as the gross floor area of the site South Regarding
has been increased by 18, 751 square feet. Modification

Ms. Hren noted the proposed PUD amendment meets the Square Footage -
intent of the original PUD for the Mounds View Planning Case
•
Business Park South project, that the parking has been No. 259-89
increased by 30 spaces, with room for more parking if
necessary, and all building setbacks and parking
setbacks have been maintained and meet the original
standards.
Bill Franke, of Everest Development, explained the
project has been approved by the City Council, and
they now have a prospective tenant that requires more
square footage than they had originally planned for,
with possible expansion needs, so they have attempted
to make changes in- the square footage of the buildings
without having any major impact on the site. He noted
there will be no significant change in landscaping,
and they are attempting to maintain as much green area
as possible.
There was discussion on the number of parking spaces
required and consideration of not putting in the addi-
tional 30 parking spaces along the east property line
near County Road H, but rather leaving that as green
space with the designation that it be future parking,
if necessary.
Brian Johnson, of Everest Development, showed on the
0 landscaping and site plans where snow would be piled
during the winter, as well as where the entrances to
each building are and the parking in those immediate
areas. Mr. Johnson indicated there should not be a

• problem with snow taking up parking spaces, and he
indicated there was adequate room to push the snow
through to the holding ponds between the bushes
surrounding the pond.
It was the concensus of the Planning Commission to
take out the parking stalls on the south end, near
County Road H, numbering 33 stalls total, up to
the retaining wall, and designate that area for
future use for parking, but not development, and
make it a part of the development agreement.
Upon questioning, Mr. Franke indicated he believed
the area in question would be sprinkled, for easy
maintenance.
Motion/Second: Alman/Dian to adopt Resolution No.
261-89, recommending approval of the PUD amendment
