PLANNING COMMISSION
MEMO
To: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Subject: Discussion of the Planning Commission Bylaws
Meeting Date: February 3, 1999
Background:
According to Section 401.06, Subdivision 7 of the Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is
to review its Bylaws on an annual basis at the first regular meeting in February.
Discussion:
• Beginning with the Bylaws last revised in 1997, staff has made some minor changes with regard
to the Bylaws. Staff would also like the Commission to discuss the possibility of changing the
structure of the meeting schedule such that every meeting would become a regular meeting
instead of every first Wednesday of the month. Given that the Commission tends to take action at
each meeting (in an effort to stay within the constricts of the sixty-day rule), changing the Bylaws
to reflect this would serve to formalize present practice. To effectuate this particular change to
the Bylaws, an amendment to the City Code would need to be drafted to clarify the difference
between Regular, Agenda and Special meetings. In addition, the Planning Commission meeting
schedule would need to be revised to show all meetings as regular.
Recommendation:
Discuss the staff-proposed revisions and other changes to the Bylaws and direct staff to prepare a
resolution adopting the agreed-upon revisions to the Bylaws.

I
• City of Mounds View Febrary 3, 1999
Planning and Zoning Commission-Bylaws Page 6
2. Conflict Due to Economic Interests: A Commissioner has a conflict of interest if, in his
or her discharge of official duties, would be required to take an action or make a
decision that would substantially affect the Commissioner's financial interests or those
of an associated business, unless the effect on the Commissioner is no greater than on
other members of the Commissioner's business classification,profession, or
occupation. In the event a conflict of interest exists with respect to a particular matter
before the Commission,the Commissioner shall disqualify themselves from taking part
in any discussion or action on the matter.
C. EX PARTE CONTACTS: Ex parte contacts are contacts between individuals seeking to
influence the decisions of the Planning Commission and individual Commission members
outside the meeting forum. Such contacts include meetings with project proponents,
residents, property owners, and citizens separate from Commission meetings,
communication between Commission members outside the meeting forum, telephone
calls or letters which attempt to influence a Commissioner's opinion on a matter which
will be subject to the Commissioner's vote. When the Planning Commission is involved in
a matter which is to be heard and decided by the Commission(e.g. variances),Planning
Commissioners shall indicate to the person contacting them that such contact is
inappropriate and all testimony needs to be offered at the hearing to insure a fair hearing
for all parties. In all other cases,Planning Commissioners should discourage such
• contacts and should avoid expressing any opinion as to the merits of the case. When ex
parte contacts occur, the Planning Commissionerr is responsible for notifying the
Community Development Director, and for conveying the substance of the communication
at the next commission meeting at which the matter discussed is under consideration.

PLANNING COMMISSION
MEMO
To: Mounds View Planning Commission
From: James Ericson, Planning Associate
Subject: Discussion of Proposed Ordinance 628
Meeting Date: February 3, 1999
Background:
At previous meetings of both the Planning Commission and City Council, the issue of requiring
Conditional Use Permits for temporary outdoor sales operations such as Merriville Farm Market
and Linder's Greenhouses has been called into question. With that in mind, staff has asked the
City Attorney to draft an ordinance to allow such businesses as permitted uses within a B-3,
Highway Business; B-4, Regional Business; or I-1, Industrial District.
• Discussion:
The draft ordinance attached to this report addresses only sales of produce but not lawn and
garden sales. These additions will be made as appropriate in the second draft of the ordinance.
The adoption of this ordinance would not, however, change the requirements for other types of
outdoor sales operations, such as Vikings Super Bowl t-shirt sales or black-velvet Elvis painting
sales, which would still require a CUP. Due to issues of fairness, staff asks the Commission to
discuss whether or not all outdoor sales should be included in this ordinance.
Recommendation:
Discuss the proposed ordinance regarding outdoor sales and direct staff to make changes as
appropriate, forwarding the ordinance onto the City Council for first and second reading.

Community Development Director Jopke reviewed with the Commission a Council directive to
perform a random open-ended survey to get the residents reaction to living in Mounds View. IP The basis for this idea came from the remnant parcel, asking the residents what they felt should be
done with it, as it is publicly owned.
