REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Meeting Date: January 7, 1998
Staff Report by: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Planning Case No.: 511-98
Request: The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for
outdoor plant and flower sales at Moundsview Square Shopping
Center.
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.

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.

2401 NE Hwy. 10
Moundsview, MN 55112
Dear Mr. Jopke,
Attached to this letter is my application for a Conditional Use permit for our Flower Mart at the
Mounds View Square Shopping Center. I would like to state that the Flower Mart at this location
has been very successful and we hear many customers comment that they are happy to have us
here. As far as I know there have never been any problems with our being here and we feel we
are good neighbors for the shopping center and the community. We are eager to return for our
Fifth successful year in Mounds View. . 41
You will note that nothing has changed from last year and we will operate in 1998 the same as in
1997. - - - - , it
Our electricity comes from the pylon in the lot near the Flower Mart. The water for our use
comes from the hydrant to the south of the Flower Mart. This is also the same as inear
has worked out very well for us and your public works department, y s past. It
Our 1998 business season is planned for April 15 thru July 7. We need the same allowances for
assembly and take down as in years past.
- _ ' -` ' a ••.:; - .1 - as in : e past years as a fee for this permit. I 11
hope this information satisfies all your needs. If you have any questions please call me at
865-5358.
We would like to explore the possibility of obtaining this permit for three to five years to avoid
the necessity of having to process this through your planning commission and city council each
year.
Sincerely,
�t

RESOLUTION NO. 534-98
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING TO TILE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUEST BY LINDER'S GREENHOUSES,
MOUNDSVIEW SQUARE; PLANNING CASE NO. 511-97
WHEREAS, Peter Linder, representing Linder's Greenhouses, has applied for a
conditional use permit to conduct open and outdoor sales at Moundsview Square Shopping
Center; property zoned B-4, legally described as follows:
That Part Lying Northeasterly of the Centerline of State Trunk Highway 10 of NE 1/
of NE 1/ (Subject to Roads and Highways) in Section 7, Township 30, Range 23
WHEREAS, the Mound View Zoning Code allows open and outdoor sales in the B-4
Regional Business District with the approval of a conditional use permit; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents regarding •
this proposal:
a) Planning Application
b) Location Map
c) Site Plan
. d) Greenhouse Design
e) Interior Specifications
f) Letter from Applicant
g) Letter from Property Owner
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings that
the criteria for approval in Section 1115.04, Subd. 2 have been met:
a. 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

. 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.

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.

PLANNING COMMISSION
MEMO
To: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: Rick Jopke, Community Development Director
Subject: Comprehensive Plan Community Forum Dates
Date: January 23, 1998
After further analysis of upcoming agenda items (i.e. the theater project,the Walgreens project
etc.), I have come to the conclusion that it would be better if the comprehensive plan community
forums were held at special meetings and not on regular meeting nights. 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.
