• CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A MINOR SUBDIVISION,
REZONING, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL
AND APPROVING VARIANCES FOR TONY POPPELAARS
WHEREAS, Mr. Tony Poppelaars has requested to construct a 10 -
unit building at 7664 (approximately) Woodlawn Drive; and
WHEREAS, the proposed location of this building and lot is
within the 100 foot buffer zone of a designated wetland; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 48 of the Mounds View Municipal Code governs
development within the buffer areas; and
WHEREAS, the lot upon which this building is to be located is
also within a designated flood plain area; and
WHEREAS, Chapter 49 of the Mounds View Municipal Code governs
development within flood plain area; and
WHEREAS, both Chapters 48 and 49 allow development within
buffer and floodplain areas, respectively, under certain conditions;
and
WHEREAS, with the development to occur as proposed and/or for
the developer to receive credit for wetland areas on the property,
approval must be granted for the following:
1) A minor subdivision combining 2 lots into 1;
2) A rezoning from R-3 to R-4;
3) A conditional use permit to fill a portion of the flood
plain area;
4) Two variances, one to allow development within the 100
foot buffer area, the other approving a 10 foot variance
to the side yard setback; and
WHEREAS, in order for the developer to receive wetland credits
as outlined in Chapter 48, a lot combination of 2 lots into 1 is neces-
sary; and
WHEREAS, since the existing zoning of the property is R-3, Medium
Density Residential, a rezoning to R-4, High Density Residential is
required for the proposed use; and
• WHEREAS, a rezoning g is being recommended since the intended use
of the property is consistant with the Comprehensive Plan designation;

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission identifies the following items
as hardships to justify the granting of the variances:
1) The property was acquired by Mr. Poppelaars well before
the existence of the Wetland Ordinance.
2) The present condition was not developer created.
3) The inability to develop the lot to make use of the
property would exist should the variances bo denied.
4) Paragraph 48.06, Subdivision 4(A)(1) allows modifications
of dimensional requirements of the Zoning Ordinance to
further purposes of Chapter 48.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission recommends to the City Council approval of a minor subdivi-
sion combining two lots under consideration into one.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that contingent upon approval being
given to combine the two lots into one and the applicant recording
deeds in fact combining the two lots into one lot, the Mounds View
Planning Commission recommends to the Mounds View City Council the
• following:
1) A rezoning of the property from R-3 to R-4.
2) A density credit being granted on the development.
3) A conditional use permit be granted for the filling of
a portion of the flood plain, since the proposed fill
will alter the flood height by an immeasurable amount.
4) Conveyance of easement to the City for drainage purposes
over wetland area.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends
the development agreement include the following:
1) Performance and maintenance of the weir and control
structure to be the owner's responsibility.
2) That the wetland area to the 903 contour be protected
during the construction period based upon the City
Engineer's recommendation.
3) A landscape plan be submitted to include -
a) Appropriate vegetation to the 903 contour.
• b) Earth berming to be provided along the Woodlawn
Drive boulevard designed so as not to impact
adjacent properties.

approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 4th day of May, 1983.
