Introduction The City will be replacing its Public Works Facility in 2017 at the location of the current facility at 2466 Bronson Dr. A Development Review is required of the Site Plan (e.g. parking, landscaping, lighting, etc.). The proposed facility will require a Variance to reduce the front yard setback for a parking lot; a Conditional Use Permit for outside storage; and a Conditional Use Permit for above ground fuel tanks. The existing use of outside storage and above ground fuel tanks are non-conforming uses, thus, any expansion requires that they conform to current regulations. Discussion The Public Works Facility is located along Bronson Dr. on the north side of City Hall Park. The maintenance building was constructed in the mid-1960’s, and an addition built in 1987. Originally used by the Police Department, Public Works moved in when the current City Hall and Police Department were built. The existing Public Works facility includes a number of buildings. Only the Maintenance building (12,256 sq ft existing), Cold Storage / Salt Storage building (4,800 sq ft existing) will be replaced. The new Maintenance Building will be 34,773 sq ft, and the Salt Storage Shed will be 1,600 sq ft. The new facility will be constructed in phases, allowing continued operation of the existing facility during construction. Planning Case MU2016-003 November 16, 2016 Page 2 Analysis: Development Review The Development Review process includes a review of the proposed site plan, building appearance, landscaping, and parking plans. The review allows the City Council to reduce landscaping and parking by 15%, under certain conditions. ZONING Existing Zoning: I-1 Industrial Existing Comprehensive Plan: Institutional The existing and proposed buildings are classified as “Governmental and public utility building and structures”, which is a permitted use in the I-1 District.1 Adjacent zoning and land use: Zoning Existing Land Use North: R-4 High-Density Residential Duplexes & Quadplexes East: I-1 Industrial Public Works (water reservoir) South B-3 Highway Business City Hall Park (ballfield) West: B-3 Highway Business Retail (former Snyders) The County Road 10 Overlay District 2 applies to all properties within 200’ of Mounds View Blvd (Co Rd 10), unless the underlying district is zoned I-1 Industrial. The Overlay District includes additional requirements, such as building facades consisting of a minimum of 50% masonry and a minimum of 15% of the site preserved as open space. Within the I-1 Industrial District, there are no requirements for a building’s exterior appearance. BUILDING FACADE The proposed building facade appearance is compliant with City Code. In general, the Maintenance Building is divided into three parts; office (masonry), cold-storage (metal panels), and maintenance garage (pre-fabricated masonry). Together, the building’s façade materials will consist of: North East South West (Bronson Dr) (MV Blvd) Concrete Wall Panel 36% 49% 68% 45% Metal Wall Panel 45% 41% 17% 26% Glazing (windows) 16% 4% 12% 28% Burnished Block - - 1% 1% Insulated Block 3% 6% 2% - 1 City Code, Section 1116.02 2 City Code 1129 Planning Case MU2016-003 November 16, 2016 Page 3 The Salt Shed will consist of three walls, including an 8’ concrete lower wall, and cedar paneling above, ranging in height from 7’ to 14’. Building height will be 35’-4”’ for the Maintenance Building, and 21’- 9½” for the Salt Storage Shed. The I-1 District allows 3-story buildings (+ 10’ for rooftop equipment). BUILDING SETBACKS Proposed building setbacks are compliant with City Code (Variance is needed for north parking lot). Minimum Setbacks: Front Yard (north) Side Yard (west) Required Proposed Required Proposed Building(s) 40’ 70’-2” 20’ 64’ Parking/driveway 40’ 13’-2” 5’ 16’-6” LANDSCAPING Most of the existing trees along Mounds View Blvd. will be removed and replaced with a storm-water retention basin. Existing trees along the ballfield fence will remain. The facility will be enclosed by an 8’ tall chain-link fence (8’ decorative wall in NE area). A fence in excess of 4’ within the front yard requires approval by the City Council as part of a Development Review or Conditional Use Permit (the property has two front yards; Bronson Dr. and Mounds View Blvd). Proposed landscaping is compliant with City Code. Landscaping outside of the fence will include a row of over-story trees, in addition to shrubbery and ornamental trees in areas near pedestrian traffic, such as along Bronson Dr., the ballfield, trail along Mounds View Blvd., and adjacent to the former Snyder’s drive-thru. Trees and shrubs will be mixed in variety. The over-story trees when planted will be 6’ in height, and will grow 40’ – 60’ at maturity. Shrubbery along Bronson Dr. and other pedestrian areas will be 2’ in height when planted, and will grow 3’ at maturity. Sod will be installed near the administration office and along Bronson Dr. Other areas will be seeded. The amount of landscaping required is based on the building’s size. The City Code allows landscaping to be reduced by 15% when located in the I-1 District.3 3 City Code, Section 1127.05, Subd 3(e) Planning Case MU2016-003 November 16, 2016 Page 4 Minimum Landscaping: Min Req (with 15% reduction) Proposed Over-story deciduous tree 15 15 Over-story coniferous tree 15 15 Ornamental tree 15 15 Understory shrub 99 99 PARKING Parking as proposed is compliant with City Code, with the exception of the front yard setback along Bronson Dr. (40’ required, 13’-2” proposed). The number of parking stalls may be reduced by 15% if approved by the City Council as part of a Development Review, contingent upon providing “proof of parking”. The applicant proposes to provide proof of parking in the lot along Bronson Dr. This area will be preserved as a grass lawn. Specific to off-street parking requirements4, Staff has interpreted the Public Works Facility to be an “Office Building” and a “Warehouse”. Minimum Parking: Required with 15% Reduction Proposed Office Building 27 stalls 23 stalls Warehouse 16 stalls 14 stalls TOTAL 43 stalls 37 stalls 38 stalls The parking lot along Bronson Dr. will include an unmarked paved area that could accommodate an additional 13 stalls, if striped. Required parking for office space is based on the size of the office floor area. Required parking for a Warehouse is based on the number of employees. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Exterior lighting as proposed is compliant with City Code. Light fixtures are required to be down-cast. Maximum required brightness is 0.4 foot-candles measured at a residential property line, and 1.0 foot-candles measured at the middle of a public street. The lighting plan does not indicate brightness at these locations, but does along the facility’s property line, which ranges from 0.0 to 0.9 foot-candles. SIGNAGE No signage is proposed at this time. Any signage will need to comply with the City Code, and will be reviewed and approved administratively. 4 City Code, Section 1121.13 Planning Case MU2016-003 November 16, 2016 Page 5 Analysis: Variance (Setback for Parking Lot) The minimum front yard setback for a parking lot in the I-1 District is 40’. The applicant is requesting a Variance to reduce the setback to 13’-2” along Bronson Dr. This parking lot will serve vehicle maintenance garage bays. Because of the triangular shape of the site, alternatives are: (1) eliminate this parking lot, which would require a variance to reduce the number of stalls; or (2) replace the ballfield with a parking lot. This parking lot when not used for parking, will allow for maneuvering in and out of maintenance bays. The City Code includes seven criteria to be reviewed when considering a Variance. Staff’s analysis of these criteria is included in Resolution 1061-16. In summary, the practical difficulty is that in order to comply with the parking lot setback requirements by flipping the building (and parking) orientation north-south, instead of east-west, would require the removal of the adjacent ballfield, thereby creating a detriment to the City’s park system. Analysis: Conditional Use Permit (Outside Storage) Within the I-1 District, a Conditional Use Permit is required for “Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use”.5 Outdoor Storage will be located: (1) south of the Salt Storage Building (mulch and gravel bins); and (2) south of the Maintenance Building (plow attachments, trailers, park equipment, misc. items). Outside storage must be screened by a solid fence or wall.6 The concrete mulch/gravel bins will be fenced, and screened by an 8’ decretive wall along a portion of Bronson Dr.. The outside storage area south of the Maintenance Building will be screened from Mounds View Blvd. by trees (Black Hill Spruce, Scots Pine, Hawthorn). These trees will be 6’ in height when planted, and grow to a height of 20’ (Hawthorn) and 50’ (pine trees). Analysis: Conditional Use Permit (Above Ground Fuel Tanks) Within the I-1 District, a Conditional Use Permit is required for the “Storage of flammable liquids over 800 gallons above ground”.7 The existing underground fuel tank will be removed, while the existing above ground tank will be moved to the southeast corn of the site, and a second tank added. Each tank will be 3,000 gallons. The City Code includes a set of criteria to be considered when reviewing a Conditional Use Permit. Staff’s analysis of these criteria is included in Resolution 1062-16 (outside storage), and Resolution 1063-16 (above ground fuel tanks). 5 City Code, Section 1116.04, Subd 1 6 City Code, Section 1103.08, Subd 6(b) 7 City Code, Section 1116.04, Subd 9 Planning Case MU2016-003 November 16, 2016 Page 6 Summary The City will be replacing its Public Works Maintenance Building, Cold Storage, and Salt Shed with a new Maintenance Building and Salt Shed. The Facility will include screened outside storage of equipment and materials, and above ground fuel tanks, both requiring Conditional Use Permits. A Variance is necessary to reduce the setback for the north parking lot. Construction drawings are not complete, thus there may be changes to the building and site plans. However, this will not affect the applicable zoning permits. A Public Hearing notice for the Variance was published in the New Brighton-Mounds View Sun Focus on November 4, 2016, and mailed to property owners within 350’ of the subject property, and to residents along Bronson Dr. across the street from the Public Works Facility. Staff received one phone call from the owner of Carmike Cinemas Wynnsong 15 (theater), who is supportive of the requests. Recommendation The Planning Commission is requested to consider the following options, including conducting a Public Hearing for the Variance request: 1. Resolution 1060-16, recommending approval of the Development Review; Resolution 1061-16, approving a Variance to reduce the front yard setback for a parking lot; Resolution 1062-16, recommending approval for a Conditional Use Permit for Open and Outdoor Storage as an Accessory Use; Resolution 1063-16, recommending approval for a Conditional Use Permit for the Storage of Flammable Liquids over 800 gallons Above Ground 2. The Planning Commission may choose to deny the Variance, and/or recommend to deny approval of the Development Review, and/or Conditional Use Permit(s). If the Commission chooses these options, Staff would need to be directed to draft a resolution(s) of denial with findings of fact appropriate to support the denial(s). 3. Table the request(s). If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided. Because both the applicant and grantor are the City, the City would administratively extend its 60-day review period to 120-days, to avoid an inadvertent approval by violating the 60-Day review deadline (December 4, 2016).

Gary Stevenson, Chair ATTEST: James Ericson, City Administrator (SEAL) RESOLUTION No. 1061-16 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE FRONT YARD SETBACK FROM FORTY FEET TO THIRTEEN FEET – TWO INCHES, FOR A PARKING LOT, FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2466 BRONSON DR. (PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY); MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE MU2016-003 WHEREAS, the property owner, the City of Mounds View, has requested approval of a Variance to reduce the front yard setback for a parking lot, from 40’ to 13’-2". The property is located at 2466 Bronson Dr., Mounds View, MN, and legally described as: Lot 1, Block 1 of Mounds View City Hall Addition PID: 08-30-23-22-0042 WHEREAS, the above-described lands are zoned I-1, Industrial, and designated as Institutional in the Comprehensive Plan; and, WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View City Code, Section 1104.01, Subd 4(c)(3)(a) requires a minimum front yard setback of 40’ for parking areas in the I-1 District; and, WHEREAS, the applicant has requested to reduce the front yard setback from 40’ to 13’-2” for a parking lot to be located along Bronson Dr.; and, WHREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents regarding this proposal: 1. Staff Report 2. Zoning Map 3. Aerial Map 4. Site Photos 5. Applicant’s Narrative (plan drawings, dated Dec. 12, 2016, received Nov 7, 2016) WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission held a duly-noticed Public Hearing regarding this request on November 16, 2016; and, Resolution 1061-16 November 16, 2016 Page 2 WHEREAS, the City of Mounds View City Code, Section 1125.02, Subd 2 provides criteria for granting a Variance to provide relief to the landowner in those cases where the Code imposes practical difficulties to the property owner in the use of the property owner’s land. A Variance may be granted only in the event that all of the following circumstances exist; and, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subd 2 are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient practical difficulty with regards to the property located at 2466 Bronson Dr., and makes the following findings of fact to its decision: a. The Variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of this Title. Finding: The Variance is in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the City Code. b. The Variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan; Finding: The Variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan (2010); General Land Use Goal 4: Prevent development or redevelopment that does not have a sufficient level of supportive and service facilities (utilities, parking, access, etc.). Policy a. Ensure that the intensification of land use activity and development would have sufficient corresponding increase in related supportive and service facilities such as parks, off-street parking, loading, surface water management, etc. The requested Variance is specific to the proposed parking lot and undevelopable land to be reserved for proof of parking along Bronson Dr. An alternative to the requested Variance is to locate this parking lot on land currently occupied by City Hall Park. If park facilities were to be displaced, it would not be consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed Public Works Facility expansion, and its associated parking lot, is necessary to provide adequate public services to the community. c. The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by this Title or the City Code. Resolution 1061-16 November 16, 2016 Page 3 Finding: The use of the front yard for a parking lot on this property is a reasonable use, not permitted by the City of Mounds View City Code, Section 1104.01, Subd 4(c)(3)(a), regarding minimum parking lot setbacks. d. Unique circumstances apply to the property, which do not apply to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the owner of the property since the enactment of this Title has had no control. The unique circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. Finding: The unique circumstances include the civic uses of this property, including the Public Works Facility, City Hall, and City Hall Park. Because of the limited availability of land, the least impact to parkland is to locate the parking lot within the Public Works Facility’s front yard along Bronson Dr., requiring the Variance to the front yard setback. e. The variance does not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Finding: The existing character of the neighborhood includes the use of this property as a Public Works Facility, including an existing parking lot that is set back 20’ from the front property line (Bronson Dr.). The proposed parking lot to be set back 13’-2” from the property line will include additional landscape buffering that will enhance the appearance of the facility from neighboring residential uses. f. The variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the practical difficulties. Economic conditions alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Finding: The variance requested for a reduced parking lot setback is the minimum which would alleviate the practical difficulties of complying with the minimum number of parking stalls required by City Code. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission, based upon the above findings, approves the Variance request of the City of Mounds View (property owner) to reduce the front yard setback from 40’ to 13’-2” along Bronson Dr. for property at 2466 Bronson Dr., subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall construct the parking lot in compliance with the Mounds View City Code, and consistent with plans dated December 12, 2016, received November 7, 2016. Resolution 1061-16 November 16, 2016 Page 4 Adopted this 16th day of November, 2016.

The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. Finding: The open and outdoor storage areas will have no burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities. 2. The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. Finding: The open and outdoor storage areas will be screened from adjacent residentially zoned areas along Bronson Dr. by a solid decretive wall, the Public Works Maintenance building itself, and Salt Storage shed. Additional screening will include an 8’ tall chain- link fence around the perimeter of the site. Additional screening will be proved by trees and shrubs. 3. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. Finding: The proposed Public Works Facility expansion will improve the appearance of the existing facility. 4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. Finding: The need for open and outdoor storage at the Public Works Facility is necessary for the operation of the City. 5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. Finding: The use of open and outdoor storage is consistent with the I-1 Zoning District, and with City Code, Section 1116.04, Subd 1 (Open and outdoor storage as an accessory use in the I-1 District). Resolution 1062-16 November 16, 2016 Page 3 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Finding: The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan: Goal 2: The City will ensure that industrial development is compatible with adjacent land uses and that any such projects preserve desirable environmental features and natural amenities. Policy a. Industrial development must adequately provide for storm water drainage and surface water management. Policy b: The City will require buffering to protect adjacent and nearby residential neighborhoods from industrial land uses. Policy c. Avoid disruption of adjacent or nearby residential land uses by industrial land uses. The open and outdoor storage areas will be located in about the same area as the current outdoor storage areas within the Public Works Facility. Storm water runoff from the open and outdoor storage areas will drain into a storm water retention pond adjacent to the facility, to be approved by the Public Works Director. The open and outdoor storage areas will be buffered from adjacent residential neighborhoods by vegetation (trees and shrubs), approved as part of a Development Review. Traffic generated by the Public Works Facility will access Bronson Dr. No additional traffic is expected from the Public Works Facility expansion. 7. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. Finding: The open and outdoor storage area will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. 8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. Finding: Adequate drainage will be provided for the outside storage area by a storm water retention pond, to be approved by the Public Works Director. Utilities and access roads specific for this request (open and outside storage area) is not applicable. Resolution 1062-16 November 16, 2016 Page 4 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission, based upon the above findings, recommends approval of a Conditional Use Permit for open and outdoor storage as an accessory use, as requested by the City of Mounds View (property owner) for property at 2466 Bronson Dr., subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall construct the open and outdoor storage areas in compliance with the Mounds View City Code, and consistent with plans dated December 12, 2016, received November 7, 2016.

Planning Cases Mounds View Planning Commission October 5, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 2 A. (Continued) Consider Resolution 1055-16, a Resolution approving/denying a Variance for a 30’ front yard setback at 7790 Eastwood Road; Planning Case VR2016-04 Planner Sevald stated the applicant (Value Homes, LLC) is requesting a Variance to reduce the front yard setback from 54’ to 30’ to construct a single-family home at 7790 Eastwood Road. The minimum front yard setback in the R-1 district is 30’ unless homes on the same side of the street have a greater setback (54’ in this case). The request is due to the hardship of a private drainage easement reducing the developable area of the lot. The Planning Commission conducted a Public Hearing on September 7, 2016, and continued the Hearing to September 21, 2016, taking no action. Planner Sevald explained the property at 7800 Eastwood Road was subdivided into two lots in March, 2016. The north lot includes an existing home, and the south lot is the subject property (7790 Eastwood Road). After the subdivision was approved, the developer conducted a Title Search, which revealed two private easements: (1) a 10’ wide sidewalk easement in the SE corner of the lot; and (2) a 30’ wide surface drainage & storm water easement along the south property line. Planner Sevald indicated the two easements are for the adjacent property, Silver Lake Commons apartments. As part of Silver Lake Common’s Development Review in 1997, the City required the apartment owner to obtain a drainage easement from 7800 Eastwood Road. At that time, there was concern that expansion of the apartments would negatively affect the natural drainage flow from properties north of the apartments (1940 aerial photo suggests a drainage ditch flowed through these properties). An easement was obtained, but a storm water retention pond was never constructed within the easement, nor was a sidewalk. Planner Sevald reported prior to the Title Search, neither the developer nor the current property owner (Value Homes) knew about the easements. For a Minor Subdivision, a Title Search is not required prior to plat approval, but prior to recording the plat at Ramsey County (City Code, Section 1202.01, Subd 2(b). Due to the private drainage easement and the 54’ front yard building setback requirement, the developable area of the lot is significantly reduced. Staff recommends approval of the Variance contingent upon complying with the conditions in Resolution 1055-16. It is Staff’s opinion that the Variance request is reasonable considering that the location of the private drainage easement greatly reduces the developable area of the lot. Planner Sevald reviewed the seven criteria to be considered in granting a variance, stating that the Public Hearing has been opened and closed, and that it is up to the Chair if to accept comments from the public. Chair Stevenson stated that there are several questions with this case, and stated that he saw no reason to hold another Public Hearing given the fact there were no neighbors in attendance. Chair Stevenson recalled the concerns of the neighbors as discussed at the previous meetings and reviewed the shape of the subject lot noting the easements on site. He requested staff review the Mounds View Planning Commission October 5, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 3 developable area of the lot. Planner Sevald outlined the developable area on the survey, and reviewed it with the Planning Commission. Chair Stevenson expressed concern with losing the trees as a buffer to County Road 10, and the current 54’ front yard setback, stating that the builder had indicated that no matter what, he could still build. Planner Sevald stated that the current lot is developable, but that the size of a house would be reduced. Chair Stevenson stated that the applicant explained previously how a home could be built within the reduced setback area, and expressed concern that this would be a rental unit, and was concerned that the treed buffer area would go away. He reviewed the size of the proposed home. Commissioner Love asked if the proposed home would be two levels. Erik Ollestad, Value Homes, LLC, discussed the home he was proposing to build on the property at 7790 Eastwood Road. He commented on the trees that would be lost. Mr. Ollestad questioned Commissioner Klebsch what was the goal of being against the variance. Chair Stevenson asked what is the footprint of the proposed home. Mr. Ollestad referenced Commissioner Klebsch’s previously stated concern that the variance does not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Mr. Ollestad displayed a photograph of a home in Blaine, similar to the one proposed to be built, stating that the house would be in- line with the 54’ setback, but the attached garage would stick out in front of neighboring homes. Mr. Ollestad then displayed photos of the interior of the home. Mr. Ollestad displayed drawings of an alternative home plan that could fit on the lot without a variance, and described its appearance as not being in sync with the neighborhood. Mr. Ollestad stated that the proposed home if granted a variance, did go with the characteristics of the neighborhood. He stated something is going to be built, and preferred to build the propose home. Commissioner Schiltgen questioned if the private easement has been discussed between the property owner and the adjacent property. Mr. Ollestad reviewed conversations between himself and City Staff regarding reducing or revoking the easement. Commissioner Schiltgen questioned if the adjacent owners had discussed a price. Mr. Ollestad responded, no, and that it was difficult to communicate with the owners. Mr. Ollestad did not anticipate this issue would be resolved with the adjacent property owner. Chair Stevenson commented about the amount of trees in the easement area, and that the trees would serve as a buffer between the house and the apartments. Mounds View Planning Commission October 5, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 4 Commissioner Klebsch stated her concerns were still the same and had not been addressed. She appreciated a buffer of trees would remain in place, but did not understand why there was only two ways to build on this lot. She believed there were more options for the site. For this reason, she would not support the variance request. Mr. Ollestad offered to sell the lot to Commissioner Klebsch. Commissioner Klebsch stated that was an inappropriate comment. Commissioner Schiltgen stated his agreement that it was inappropriate. Mr. Ollestad expressed the difficulty with building on this lot, and his frustration with the way the Planning Commission had managed his request and was disappointed with the fact that he has had to come back to three meetings in order for the Commission to make a decision on his request. Chair Stevenson stated that the Commission has to look at what they want for this City, and asked if there was a motion. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Schiltgen/Commissioner Rundle. To approve Resolution 1055-16, a Resolution Approving of a Variance to Allow a 30-Foot Front Yard Setback for a New Home at 7790 Eastwood Road; Planning Case No. VR2016-04. Commissioner Klander asked why the developer was not aware of the easement on the site. Planner Sevald described the differences between a major and minor subdivision and explained the developer was not required to complete a title search prior to plat approval, but prior to the plat being recorded. Commissioner Klander questioned when the drainage easement was put in place. Planner Sevald reported this took place in 1997. Commissioner Klander noted this was a private easement between two property owners, and asked if the City had any role. Planner Sevald affirmed that this is a private easement between two property owners. Commissioner Love believed it was unfortunate the developer did not find out about the easement until after purchasing the property. Chair Stevenson restated the motion. Ayes – 4 Nays – 3 (French, Klebsch, Love) Motion failed. Planner Sevald stated that five votes are needed to approve a variance, and reviewed the process if the applicant chose to appeal the Planning Commission’s action. The Commission discussed the process further. Planner Sevald quoted a State Statute regarding when a motion for approval of a resolution fails, and requested comments, for the record, from those that opposed the Variance as Findings for Denial of the variance. Mounds View Planning Commission October 5, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 5 Chair Stevenson requested that those Commissioners who voted against the motion, state their reasons. Commissioner Love believed the Variance did not meet Item E stating that the variance would alter the essential character of the neighborhood. Commissioner Klebsch added that Item F was not being met. Commissioner French believed that a smaller home would fit on the site and found no hardship with the property. _____________________________________________________________________________ 6. Other Planning Activity None. ______________________________________________________________________________ 7. Reports A.

Consider Resolution 1057-16, recommending approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage; and (Public Hearing) consider Resolution 1058-16 a Variance to the side yard setback at 7715 Eastwood Road; Planning Case MU2016-002 Planner Sevald stated the applicant, Cindy Brown, has applied for a building permit to add a second floor onto the home and an addition onto the existing two-car attached garage. The garage addition will exceed the maximum size permitted for an accessory building, unless a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is approved. Additionally, the existing garage is setback 4’-6” from the side yard property line, whereas a minimum of 5’ is required. The proposed garage addition would continue this 6” encroachment, requiring a Variance. Staff reviewed the conditional use permit and variance requests in detail with the Commission and recommended the Planning Commission recommend approval of the conditional use permit, and hold a public hearing and approve the variance, as requested. Commissioner Klander asked if the garage would be moving closer to the side yard setback. Planner Sevald reported the garage would remain four feet six inches from the side property line. Vice Chair Love opened the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. Commissioner Klander questioned if the space above the garage would be used for living space or for garage storage. Planner Sevald explained this space would be used as living space. Commissioner Klander asked if the City received any feedback from the neighbors regarding the variance and conditional use permit request. Planner Sevald indicated he received no comments from the neighbors. Cindy Brown, 7715 Eastwood Road, stated she spoke with her neighbors regarding the addition and they were not opposed to the addition. Commissioner Klebsch inquired when the addition would be completed. Ms. Brown anticipated the addition would be completed by December 1st. Vice Chair Love closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Rundle/Commissioner Klander.

The stoop is to replace an existing concrete stoop (no roof), and will be set back 40’ from the front property line, whereas a minimum 45’ is required. Staff recommended the Planning Commission approve the administrative variance as requested. Vice Chair Love asked if all administrative variances were required to be reviewed by the Planning Commission. Planner Sevald stated this was the case.
