Petitioner: Peter Linder, representing Linder's Greenhouses, Inc. Location: 2535-2585 Highway 10 (Moundsview Square Shopping Center) PIN No. 30-23-07-11-0079 Zoning/Land Use: B-4, Regional Business District/ Shopping Center Applicable Regulations: • Section 1115.04, Subd. 2 of the Mounds View Municipal Code states that"Open or 11) outdoor service, sale and rental as an accessory use" is a conditional use in the B-4 zoning district, requiring a CUP to be obtained. Section 1125.01, Subd. 3b of the Code states that"in granting a conditional use permit, the City Council shall consider the advice and recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the effect of the proposed use on the Comprehensive Plan and upon the health, safety and general welfare of occupants of surrounding lands" and shall make the following applicable findings: • The use will be sufficiently separated from residentially-zoned land. • The use is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City. • The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code. • • The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. • The use will not create traffic hazards or congestion. Attachments: Planning Application Location Map Site Plan Greenhouse Design Interior Specifications Letter from Applicant 110 Letter from Property Owner Resolution 534-98 Linders Greenhouse Staff Report Planning Case No. 511-97 January 7, 1998 Page 2 / • Background: Peter Linder, representing Linder's Greenhouses, has applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) to allow the operation of an outdoor sales operation at Moundsview Square. Linder's was previously issued CUPs for the 1995, 1996 and 1997 growing season. No changes are proposed in the location, layout and operation from previous years. In his letter of application, Mr. Linder requests that the City consider allowing the operation to hook up to a fire hydrant on the property in order to get water for the flora. This was done last year and years past with no associated problems. The charges for permitting such water usage include a $100 hydrant deposit, a$20 wrench deposit and a $20 adapter valve deposit. These deposits are refundable. The applicant's request to connect to the fire hydrant has been approved by the Department of Public works, subject to receiving the appropriate deposits. In addition, the applicant will be billed $1.40 per day for water service, which should more than exceed the actual cost of water utilized. Analysis: Mr. Linder is expecting to operate the Flower Mart from April 15 to June 30, 1997, but would like the CUP to be effective from March 15 to July 15, 1996, to accommodate for seasonal fluctuations and assembly/disassembly. Linder's Flower Mart is a perennial Mounds View business, having been at the same location for the past five years. Staff is not aware of any problems associated with this operation. The flower mart will be located at the edge of the Mounds View Square parking lot, alongside of Highway 10. The closest residential neighbors at this point are the homes behind the shopping center and the Wildwood Manor senior apartments across Highway 10 to the south. The residences, separated from the flower mart by the shopping center and the highway, should bear no discernable impact from the use. The flower mart meets the needs of the residents of Mounds View in that there are no greenhouses within the City. The zoning for the shopping center is B-4 (Regional Business District)which allows outdoor sales as a conditional use. The area of Moundsview Square is identified as Highway Commercial within the City's Comprehensive Plan, a designation consistent with the • shopping center and proposed flower mart. Traffic in the area should not increase as a result of this use as it will draw much of its customer base from the Moundsview Square shoppers and commuters traveling east and west on Highway 10. The greenhouse will not interfere with the internal circulation of the shopping center and the loss of the parking spaces will not create a shortage of parking stalls on the premises. Given these considerations and the previous experience with Linder's Greenhouse, staff feels approval of the conditional use permit is appropriate. Recommendation: Adopt Resolution 534-98 recommending to the City Council approval of the conditional use permit for Linder's Greenhouses with stipulations as to starting and ending dates, hours of operation, lighting and signage.

Outdoor service, sales and equipment rental connected with the principal use is • limited to thirty percent (30%) of the gross floor area of the principal use. The shopping center contains 102,035 square feet of building area. The applicant proposes to occupy 2,200 square feet in the parking lot, which is 2.2% of the building square footage on the site. This criterion has been met. b. Outside sales areas are fenced or screened from view of neighboring residential uses or an abutting residential district in compliance with Subdivisions 1103.08(1) through (5) of this Title. The parking lot fronting Highway 10 does not abut any residential properties. The nearest Planning Commission Resolution 534-98 Linders Greenhouse CUP January 7, 1998 Page 2 residential property is Wildwood Manor, an apartment building for senior citizens, which would be well screened from the proposed use by a stand of trees and separated by the intervening Highway 10. This criterion has been met. c. Sales area is grassed or surfaced to control dust. The applicant is proposing to use an existing parking lot which is surfaced with asphalt. This criterion is met. d. The provisions of Section 1125.01(1)e of this Title are considered and satisfactorily met. Adverse Effects: The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consider possible adverse effects of the proposed amendment or conditional use. Its judgement shall be based upon (but not limited to)the following factors: i (1) Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. (2) The geographical area involved. (3) Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. (4) The character of the surrounding area. (5) The demonstrated need for such use. The proposal is for a temporary greenhouse in the parking lot of an existing shopping center. The shopping center is surrounded by roadways and the area where the use is to be located is 1,000 feet from the nearest residential property. The short duration of the use will result in little, if any, effect upon the surrounding area. The sale of flowers and plants is a typical seasonal business in a community such as Mounds View and it serves a community need. This criterion is met. • NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations: 1. The facility shall be allowed to operate from March 15, 1997, to July 15, 1997. 2. The hours of operation of the facility shall not exceed 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. 3. Only the signage shown on the Greenhouse Design Plan shall be allowed. 4. All lighting for the use shall be supplied by existing parking lot lighting and supplemental interior lighting, if needed. Planning Commission Resolution 534-98 Linders Greenhouse CUP January 7, 1998 Page 3 5. The applicant shall pay a $100 deposit to use the fire hydrant in the parking lot and pay a $20 wrench deposit and a$20 adapter valve deposit, if one is needed. 6. The applicant will be charged $1.40 per day for water service, to be paid by the applicant before any deposits are returned. 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 7th day of January, 1998.

City of Mounds.View Staff Report Janus 5, 1998 Planning Commission Mooting Item No._60.. Staff Report No. PC98-1 Item Title/Subject: Comprehensive Plan Update Community Forums BACKGROUND Over the past few months the Planning Commission has discussed the schedule for updating the.City's comprehensive plan in 1998. The first task for the Commission is to conduct community forums to solicit citizen input about the community. At past meetings the Commission has recommended that 3 community forums be held. One in the area north of Highway 10, one for the Highway 10 corridor, and the third one in the area south of Highway 10. According to the schedule these three forums would be held in February, March and April. The next step is to decide specific dates, place, order of the forums, and format for the forums. Staff is checking on the availability of school facilities and will report the results at the January 5th meeting. In terms of the order of the forums, staff would recommend that the Highway 10 corridor meeting be held first to fit into the Highway 10 design theme process. The order of the other two may depend on school facility availability. I have attached a copy of a suggested agenda for the forums for Planning Commission discussion. In general there would be a general overview of the community by staff followed by informal small group discussions, and then a wrap up to summarize issues. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Commission discuss and set specific dates, place, order, and IPformat for the community forums. Staff will then work on publicizing the forums.

CLOSING AND THANK YOU (PLANNING COMMISSION CHAIR) r_iee _ • PLANNING COMMISSION MEMO To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director Subject: January 21, 1998 Meeting Date: January 16, 1998 There are no agenda items for the January 12, 1998 meeting therefore unless the commission objects I would suggest that the meeting be cancelled. The next scheduled meeting is February 4, 1998. At that meeting Carol Swenson from the University of Minnesota Design Center for American Urban Landscape will be present to talk to the Planning Commission about her group's work with the North Metro I35W Coalition and to get input from the Commission about what issues should be looked at in this process. Staff is continuing to work TOLD Development on their proposal to develop a Walgreens store at • County Road I and Highway 10. The proposal is not complete yet but may be ready for Planning Commission review on February 4th. Staff will also present the backround material which will be presented at the comprehensive plan update community forums. I have been able to reserve the cafeteria at Pinewood School on February 18, and the cafeteria at Edgewood School on March 18 and April 8 for the comprehensive plan update community forums. February 18 was the only date Pinewood was available so the first community forum should be for the area north of Highway 10. April 8 is not a normal meeting date but the normal April 15 meeting date is "tax day"which might cut into attendance. If the April 8 date is a problem, let me know and I will reschedule to a different day.

In that light, I have contacted the school district and have changed the meeting dates for the first two community forums. The first forum is now scheduled for February 11 instead of February 18 in the cafeteria at Pinewood School. The second forum is now scheduled for March 11 instead of March 18 in the cafeteria at Edgewood School. April 8 is not a normal meeting date so I did not change that forum date. • I apologize for the confusion. If commission members have a problem with these revised dates please let me know as soon as possible. Call me at 717-4021. We will be mailing out meeting notices to each property owner in the city, sending out press releases to the newspapers, and posting the meeting dates on cable TV. If you have any additional ideas on how to get the word out, please let me know. Again, I apologize about the change in meeting dates. N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\PLANCOMM\1-23-98.MEM
