Planning Case No. 496-97
2229 Oakwood Drive;
Applicant: A.G. Engen
Variance to Allow Permanent Driveway Surface within Five-Foot Side Yard Setback.
The Applicant, A.G. Engen, was present.
Associate Ericson reviewed the August 20, 1997 Request for Planning Commission
Action in which it was stated that Mr. Engen is requesting a variance to allow for a
permanent driveway within the five-foot side yard setback at his residence located at 2229
Oakwood Drive. The existing asphalt driveway is within one foot of the side yard
property line. The next door neighbor impacted by this request has submitted a letter
indicating their approval of a cement driveway closer that five feet to their property line.
Associate Ericson stated Staff is recommending approval of Planning Commission
Resolution 525-97, a resolution approving the variance request of A.G. Engen to
• construct a permanent driveway surface within the five-foot side yard setback at 2229
Oakwood Drive with stipulations as noted.
Motion/Second: Brooks/Brasaemle to approve of Resolution 525-97, "A resolution approving
the variance request of A.G. Engen to construct a permanent driveway surface within the five-
foot side yard setback at 2229 Oakwood Drive, Planning Case No. 496-97", with stipulations as
noted.
Johnston stated his concern that item No. 2 in the stipulations did not read that a licensed
surveyor should be obtained to locate the property line pins.
Mr. Engen stated that a City Staff person had located the property line pins on an earlier
visit to his home. This being the case, Mr. Engen felt that there was no need for an official
survey.
Commissioner Brasaemle suggested that stipulation No. 2 in Resolution 525-97,
Planning Case 496-97, be eliminated.
Chair Peterson called for a vote on the motion.
Motion carried: 7 ayes, 0 nays.

Chair Peterson explained to Mr. Engen the Planning Commission approval of the
variance did not have to be referred to the City Council for action thus the project could
begin immediately upon acquisition of the appropriate permits.
5.
Planning Case No. 498-97
5213 Brighton Lane
Applicant: Paul Jacobs
Variance to Allow 25-Foot Wide Curb Cut
The Applicant, Paul Jacobs, was present.
Associate Ericson reviewed his August 20, 1997 Memo to the Commission in which it
was stated that Paul Jacobs is requesting a variance to allow a driveway curb cut opening
of 25 feet, 3 feet more than what is allowed by Code. He also stated that the request came
about as a result of the City's building inspector noticing that the work had already been
• done without a permit being applied for.
Associate Ericson stated the Staff is recommending approval of Planning Commission
Resolution 524-97, a resolution approving the variance request of Paul Jacobs to allow for
a 25-foot wide curb cut, 3 feet more than the maximum allowed, with stipulations as
noted.
Commissioner Miller asked if Mr. Jacobs would have to apply for a building permit as
one of the approval stipulations.
Associate Ericson stated Mr. Jacobs had already taken care of that process and the permit
was on hold pending the outcome of the Planning Commission's decision.
Motion/Second: Stevenson/Brasaemle to approve of Resolution 524-97, "A resolution approving
the variance request to allow for a 25-foot wide curb cut, 32 feet more than the maximum
allowed, Paul Jacobs, 5213 Brighton Lane, Planning Case No. 498-97", with stipulations as
noted.
Chair Peterson called for a vote on the motion.
Motion carried: 7 ayes, 0 nays.

Chair Peterson explained to Mr. Jacobs that approval of the variance meant that he could
complete his project upon receipt of the appropriate building permit, without any action
required by the City Council.
6.
Planning Case No. 500-97
2201 Highway 10
Applicant: McDonalds Restaurant
Development Review approval for McDonalds Restaurant
The Applicant, Gary Meyer for McDonalds, was present.
Associate Ericson reviewed his August 20, 1997 Memo which stated the applicant, Gary
Meyer, is proposing to demolish the existing McDonalds restaurant located at 2201
Highway 10 and replace it with a similarly sized restaurant moved approximately 30 feet
• more toward the center of the lot. The design and appearance of the proposed building
will not differ significantly from the existing building.
Ericson continued saying that access to the building meets all City Codes. There is a
potential problem in the diagonal parking on the west side of the building. This problem
could be addressed by moving the parking spots two feet closer to the property line to
allow for wider drive aisles.
Revised drainage plans have been submitted to the City's Engineer for review along with a
letter of compliance for the wetland issues.
The City Forester has indicated that the landscape plan is adequate.
The McDonalds' sign now being used will stay in its current location.
Parking lot lighting meets all City Codes. There is an issue with wall mounted lighting for
the building that will have to be addressed at the time of construction plan approval.
The planned parking meets or exceeds City requirements.
The Fire Marshal for Spring Lake Park/Blaine/Mounds View Fire Department, indicated
by memo that he had no concerns.
• Mounds View Planning Commission August 20, 1997
Special Meeting Page 5
Associate Ericson stated Staff is recommending approval of Planning Commission
Resolution 527-97, a resolution recommending approval of a development review for
McDonalds Restaurant, located at 2201 Highway 10, subject to stipulations.
Commissioner Stevenson expressed concerns with available parking for buses, RVs and
vehicles towing boats and trailers.
Mr. Meyer stated that the site did not lend itself very well to the specific types of parking
that the Commission had asked about. It was his opinion that because of the limited sight
line to the freeway that most of this type of traffic came only from Highway 10 and not the
interstate.
Commissioner Miller expressed concern about the pedestrian crosswalk located near the
drive-thru area.
Mr. Meyer responded that the first two or three stalls are set aside for special grill orders
that have to be hand-delivered to the customer by McDonald employees. He also added
that the remaining stalls located by the drive-thru area would probably be used for
1111 employee parking.
Commissioner Miller asked how long the demolition and construction for the new
project would take.
Mr. Meyer told the Commission that the construction was scheduled for about 65 or 70
days.
Commissioner Brooks asked if a playland area was planned for the new facility.

accommodate a future playland addition.
Motion/Second: Miller/Johnston to recommend approval of Resolution No. 527-97 regarding the
development review for the McDonalds reconstruction project located at 2201 Highway 10.

. Mounds View Planning Commission August 20, 1997
Special Meeting Page 6
SE Corner of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road
Applicant: Silverview Estates Development Company
Preliminary Plat Approval for the Silverview Estates Mixed-Use Planned Unit Development.
The applicant, Silverview Estates Development Company, was present.
Planner Peters addressed the Commission and referred to his August 20, 1997 Memo
which stated that the plan review is for the development of a convenience market/gas
station/car wash on the corner of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road; 30,000 square feet of
office space and an 82-unit senior housing building.
Planner Peters stated that the City was notified by the official newspaper that notice of a
public hearing on the above stated issue was not received. Staff is requesting a decision
by the Commission if they want to proceed with the resolution at the August 20, 1997
meeting or if a discussion for the record be held to bring up any issues that need to be
addressed.
• Commissioners Stevenson and Brasaemle suggested that the recording secretary be
held over to keep minutes on the discussion of the review.
Motion/Second: Brasaemle/Stevenson to move Planning Case 501-97 to the Agenda Session and
ask the recording Secretary to stay and record the discussions of both Planning Case 501-97 and

AGENDA MEETING
1.
Planning Case No. 501-97, 502-97
SE Corner of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road
Applicant: Silverview Estates Development Company
Discuss Preliminary Plat and Development Review
• Planner Peters introduced himself as the interim replacement for Pam Sheldon until a new
Community Development Director can be hired.
Planner Peters reviewed his August 20, 1997 Memo in which it was stated the plan
review is for the development of a convenience market/gas station/car wash on the corner
of Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road; 30,000 square feet of office space, and an 82-unit
senior housing building.
Planner Peters explained to the Commission at an earlier time there had been a scaling
error made that indicated that there were going to be 83 housing units in the 84,000
square feet building. In the current plan the building wilLhave 82 housing units on the
building foot print of 115,800 square feet. An amendment to the PUD concept plan that
was approved as of May 27, 1997 will be required to approve the additional square
footage. The PUD amendment issue has been turned over to the City Attorney to advise
staff on how to proceed with this process.
Planner Peters asked the applicant to review for the Commission colored renderings of
the site and a material board which would indicate the types of finish materials to be used
on the proposed project.
Mr. Black, from Royal Oaks Reality, made the presentation as requested. He told the
Commissioners that there would be 28 one-bedroom apartments and 54 two-bedroom
• Mounds View Planning Commission August 20, 1997
Special Meeting Page 8
apartments, which would give the building a 35/65 percent split from one-bedroom to two
bedroom units.
Mr. Black indicated that the fast-food portion of the convenience store development has
been dropped. Also, instead of developing a restaurant facility on the site, a 25,000
square foot two-story office space is being proposed.
Chair Peterson referred the Commissioners to the original PUD language that referred to
a 10,000 square foot restaurant or a 25,000 square foot office building.
Henry Ruggles, 2629 Lake Court Drive, asked for clarifications on the building locations,
specifically the car wash and the old TSB Homes site which is now Winiecki Insurance.
Planner Peters asked the Commission members if they had a preference as to white or
cream colored siding.
The majority of the Commission answered "cream".
• Planner Peters stated the Winiecki Insurance building, the old TSB Homes site, was not
part of the PUD development.
Planner Peters reviewed trash and recycling plans as submitted by the applicant.
Chair Peterson asked if the City codes required trash enclosures.
Associate Ericson stated that there are codes to handle the trash issue.
Chair Peterson stated on the plan the parking stalls were all shown as 10'x 18' and the
Code requires 9'x 20'.
Mr. Black suggested it was the architect's intent to maximize green space as opposed to
having more black top surface. He also stated that the drive aisles were designed at 24'to
accommodate more safe backing up and parking.
Planner Peters stated a more detailed landscaping plan would have to be submitted for
approval. He also stated that a plan for delineation of the wetland from the Rice Creek
Watershed District would have to be submitted prior to consideration by the Planning
Commission.
Commissioner Miller asked if there was going to be discussions in regards to the 100'
• buffer area.
• Mounds View Planning Commission August 20, 1997
Special Meeting Page 9
Planner Peters stated the issue was addressed in the PUD.
The City's Engineer has requested additional information: Approval of the preliminary
grading plan, erosion control plan and drainage plan is necessary prior to Planning
Commission action on the development stage plan.
Planner Peters stated that a lighting plan indicating lighting location and type as well as
site photometrics must be submitted prior to consideration by the Planning Commission.
Planner Peters stated snow storage areas would have to be identified on the site plan.
Planner Peters stated that prior to any action by the Planning Commission on the
development stage plan that a coordinated sign program showing sign types, location(with
appropriate set backs), materials and text would need to be submitted. This plan should
also take into account a space reserved at the corner for subsequent planting and gateway
monumentation.
Ralph Durand stated there was a 301x 30'triangular easement that will be provided at the
• corner.
Planner Peters stated that Mn/DOT is not considering the Winiecki location in their
review of the plat and the development plan. MN/DOT's recommendation is that one
access point go to the small office building, and the access at Winiecki insurance remain,
and the access for the convenience store and two-story office building be combined.
Mr. Winiecki stated that he hoped the City would respect his rights as a private property
owner, and he added that his intent was to be neighborly. Mr. Winiecki said that he
bought the property with its own in and out access already established.
Mr. Winiecki added that he also wants to see as much green space left in between his
building and the new buildings being proposed.
Planner Peters stated that he was optimistic that the access problems would be addressed
to the satisfaction of all parties.
Planner Peters indicated that the Fire Marshal has reviewed turning radii for fire fighting
equipment and there is adequate space for turning movement. Fire hydrant locations have
been reviewed and found to be adequate.
• Planner Peters told the Planning Commission that the developer has shown an RV
service site as part of the convenience store development. Staff has indicated that the
• Mounds View Planning Commission August 20, 1997
Special Meeting Page 10
location of such a facility on the site is in opposition to the City's desire to create a
gateway element in this quadrant of the Highway 10/Silver Lake Road intersection.
Chuck Durand, on behalf of the developer, stated that an RV service center could be
installed on the site in a low visibility area, possibly next to the car wash. Mr. Durand
said that there is truly aneed-within-the-community-for thistype-of service-and-it-his
opinion that it could be provided in good taste.
Mr. Ruggles told the Commission to his knowledge the closest service site was a station
in the Forest Lake area.
Commissioner Stevenson stated that there might possibly be one located at the
intersection of 694 and Lexington.
Planner Peters stated that the development is well over the required parking space
dimensions and this fact could lead to a possible shift in building locations that might
accommodate the installation of the RV service site.
• Commissioner Brasaemle stated his concern for the large RV vehicles being parked in
the gateway area. He added his concern for the "black water" being stored or dumped in
areas that also have gasoline storage tanks in a near by location.
Associate Ericson told the Commission that the Staff has not researched the issue or done
any checking with other agencies in regards to an RV service center being installed in
Mounds View.
Mr. Durand suggested contacting the City of Bloomington in regards to ordinances that
relate to the RV service centers.
Chair Peterson conducted a straw poll of the Commissioners as to their feelings if they
are for or against an RV service center and where it should be located on the proposed
site. The results indicated the majority of the Commission are in favor of the service as
long as it is out of visual range of the gateway area.
Planner Peters stated the developer has been asked to redesign the back of the two-story
office building to give it better visual appeal from all angles of view.
Chair Peterson asked about the developers plans for the trails that are being considered
for the wetland area.
•
• Mounds View Planning Commission August 20, 1997
Special Meeting Page 11
Commission Johnston read from the PUD: "At the time of the development stage plan
review the City Council shall obtain a recommendation from Parks and Recreation
Commission and shall determine that the property owner/developer shall build a walkway
along part or all of the perimeter of the wetland prior to acting on the development stage."
Mr. Black responded by saying that the trail issue was brought up at an earlier meeting
with the City. At that time it was recommended that there be a cash dedication in lieu of
land.
Commissioner Stevenson said that the comments were made so that Parks and
Recreation didn't jeopardize the fee percentage for land or for path development. He
added that Parks and Recreation would just as soon have the owner develop a path and
would prefer that the trails be bike/walking/sidewalks.
Planner Peters stated that it would take the cooperation of all the property owners to do
a loop around the wetland. Short of achieving that, the walkway along the easement
would be an acceptable option.
• Commissioner Miller asked if the 60-day-time frame is still intact.
Planner Peters responded by saying the 60-day-time period would end September 23,
1997.
Chair Peterson asked if it was anticipated that any of the trees on the existing site could
be saved.
Mr. Black answered "no".
Planner Peters went on to review the plat. He stated Gateway Easements, Drainage and
Utility Easements, Right-of-Way and Park Dedication Fees as issues that need to be
addressed before any action can be taken at the development by the Planning Commission.
Chair Peterson asked the owner/developer if they had any questions or comments.
Mr. Durand asked the Commission for its opinion on the project to date.
Chair Peterson stated that it was his opinion that the old T7B building and the small
office building are too close together and he hoped something could be done about that.
Commissioner Miller said she was glad that the fast food service was eliminated in the
•
convenience store. She said she felt there would have been too much congestion.
• Mounds View Planning Commission August 20, 1997
Special Meeting Page 12
Commissioners Johnston and Brasaemle both stated that the office building is a better
option than a restaurant site.
Commissioners Brasaemle and Obert both stated their opposition to the site being
developed for another gas station, but commended the developer on the design of the
project.
William Werner, 2765 Sherwood Road, asked what the plan is for Highway 10. Is the
City trying to slow traffic down and make it a boulevard?
Commissioner Obert stated after new Highway 10 is redone the traffic will slow down
temporarily, but it will pick back up to over 40,000 vehicles per day. Obert added that
the City wants to make Mounds View more of a destination than a blow-by.
Mr. Winiecki asked how far down beyond his property would the deceleration lanes go,
would it go all the way down to County Road I?
Planner Peters said to his knowledge the State is requiring deceleration lanes, or right-
turn lanes, for the first curb cut. He added that this information would need to be
clarified.
There being no more discussion for the record the Recording Secretary was dismissed at 10:30
p.m.
