At that time, staff provided the Commission with the attached survey of surrounding communities' requirements. Following discussion, it was the determination of the Commission that the existing side yard setback (5 ' for improved parking surfaces) was appropriate and reasonable. I have drafted Resolution No. 354-92 for your review and consideration. Following adoption of the Resolution, staff will forward a copy to the City Council. 110 i RESOLUTION NO. 354-92 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING MAINTAINING THE REQUIRED FIVE FOOT (5' ) SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR IMPROVED, OFF-STREET PARKING AREAS WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission - at the direction of the City Council - has conducted a detailed review of the side yard setback requirements for improved, off-street parking areas; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the requirements of the City of Mounds View against the requirements of communities in the surrounding area; and WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission found that the requirements of the City of Mounds View are comparable to those of the surrounding communities; and WHEREAS, it is the Planning Commissions opinion that the existing five foot (5 ' ) side yard setback for improved, off-street parking areas is reasonable and appropriate. • NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that the existing five foot (5' ) setback for improved, off-street parking area be maintained based on the following findings of fact: 1. The location of a large number of utility easements along side property lines within the City would require the removal and replacement of impervious surface in the event maintenance is needed. 2 . The five foot (5' ) side yard setback provides necessary area for—the—storage of snow from the impervious surface. BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs Staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes. Adopted this 2nd day of December, 1992 .
