(1) A variance in parking ratios to allow a reduction to 43 spaces was granted by the Planning
Commission in Resolution No. 499-97. Approval of this development review is contingent
upon approval of this variance.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission does hereby find that the landscape plan as
proposed satisfies the requirements of the Code as stated below:
The landscaping proposed for this site has been reviewed by the City Forester, who has
recommended changing one of the tree types (Honey/oeust Sunburst) for a more climate-
appropriate species (Honey/oeust Shademaster). The other landscaping is acceptable.
Much of the existing tree cover will be retained to provide a full screen from both County
Road J and Coral Sea Street. Most of the rear elevation will also be screened from any
future park developments on adjacent land.
WHEREAS, the City Engineer has reviewed the drainage plan for this site and has found
it acceptable and consistent with the Master Drainage Plan previously approved by the City
Council and Rice Creek Watershed District.
WHEREAS, the City Fire Marshal has reviewed the site plans and finds the layout meets
Fire Department requirements for emergency vehicle access; and,
WHEREAS, the approximately 40 square feet of signage indicated on the site plans is
within the 100 square feet allowed by the Municipal Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission
does hereby recommend to the City Council that the development review for the ZEP
Manufacturing proposal at 8490 Coral Sea Street as presented by Benson-Orth Associates be
approved subject to the following contingencies:
1. The granting of this development review is contingent upon the granting of a
wetland alteration permit from the City and a permit from Rice Creek Watershed
District and shall be null and void if these approvals are not received within 120
days from the date on which the City Council acts to grant this development
review. In no event shall any building permits be issued until such time as the
wetland alteration permit from the City of Mounds View and the permit from Rice
Creek Watershed District have been obtained.
2. Prior to action by the City Council on this development review, the applicant shall:
a.
Revise the landscape plan to show Honeylocust Shademaster trees in place
of the Honeylocust Sunburst trees.

b. Revise the parking layout to show one additional parking space so that
count provided is 43 spaces, with 44 spaces shown in parking areas which
could be added if deemed necessary by the City.
c. Add a note to the site plan which states:
"A variance in required parking ratios was approved for this property by
Planning Commission Resolution No. 499-97. The parking ratios approvedfor
this property are as follows:
1 space per 1000 square feet of warehouse space
1 space per 250 square feet of office space
The property owner is obligated to build up to an additional 41 parking spaces,
which would meet the parking ratios required by the Zoning Code, if deemed
necessary by the City based on future parking patterns, use of the building, and
evidence that parking needs cannot be satisfied on site. The property owner shall
be notified in writing that additional parking must be built, and upon such notice,
shall construct the additional parking within 3 months, with consideration for
weather conditions. "
d. Resolve the situation regarding the minor wetland area in the northeast
comer of the site. If the wetland area cannot be moved and/or mitigated,
and as a result, major redesign of the parking area and building location is
necessary, the site plan shall be resubmitted to the Planning Commission
for review and recommendation, prior to forwarding the development
review to City Council for action.
3. Prior to obtaining any building permits or grading permits, the applicant shall
install snow fences or another type of demarcation device around those areas
where trees are to be retained. The area shall be of sufficient width so as to
protect the trees' root systems. The use of heavy equipment shall be prohibited in
these areas, and the property owner/developer shall be responsible for monitoring
construction activities to make certain these restrictions are enforced.
