Consideration of Resolution No. 5218, a Resolution Approving a Development Review for the Expansion of the Saturn Dealership Located at 2375 Highway 10. Mr. Jim Ericson, Planning Associate, explained that this is a Development Review for the Saturn Dealership on Highway 10. They are proposing an expansion of the dealership to the East and take over the parcel on the corner of Highway 10 and County Road H-2. Their intent is to make the two lots one contiguous lot. The expansion will provide additional service space, showroom floor space and office space. The Planning Commission approved Resolution No. 535-98 which recommended to the Council approval of the devihnent review for Saturn Dealership. The reason for delay in bringing it before Council is that the applicant was attempting to get a Rice Creek Watershed District Permit and trying to fmd a way to handle on-site storm water storage. Since that time, Rice Creek Watershed has approved a permit. Mr. Ericson noted that one issue of concern is the Lighting Plan. One area on the site, the lighting as shown on the photometric analysis exceeds the city's requirements. The applicant, however, has indicated that they are changing the photometric analysis by removing one of the lights which should reduce the levels to meet City code. Resolution No. 5218 contains language requiring that the applicant bring Page 5 April 13, 1998 Mounds View City Council before the Community Development Department a revised lighting plan showing the photometrics of the site to indicate that it is in compliance with City Code. In addition to the stipulation in regard to the lighting, the resolution also contains two additional stipulations: 1) that they obtain access and grading permits from MnDOT and Ramsey County if required and provide proof of such permit or permission to the City; and (2) that they enter into a Development Agreement with the City. Council member Stigney noted that in the past Saturn Dealership has had more cars on their lot than allowed. He asked if he can expect, with the additional space, to see them complying with maximum requirements. Mr. Jim Price, of Saturn Dealership, responded in the affirmative. Council member Stigney asked if they intend to follow the landscaping plans in regard to the numbers of trees/shrubs proposed for the site. Mr. Price stated this has always been the case in the past. Council member Quick asked what they intend to do about Storm Water Run-Off. Mr. Ericson explained that they will use the existing 30 foot setback from Highway 10 that would run the length from County Road H-2 down to their primary entrance. There is a tiered swale that would detain the water at a couple different levels and then by the time it reached the entrance, it would divert into the Highway 10 Right-of--Way. This plan is acceptable to the Rice Creek Watershed District. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn to Approve Resolution No. 5218, Approving a Development Review for the Expansion of the Saturn Dealership at 2375 Highway 10. VOTE: 4 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried F. Summary of City Administrator Performance Evaluation. Acting Mayor Koopmeiners noted that the City Administrator Performance Evaluation review conducted on Monday, Apri16, 1998, proved to be very satisfactory by most members. There were a few items that the Council has asked the City Administrator to work towards. Council member Stigney had requested that a different review format be considered for future reviews. Overall, it was felt that much was accomplished at this meeting in regard to the views and outlooks of the City Administrator and the Council members. G.

It may lead to some stronger legislation at the next session. 9. NEXT COUNCIL WORKSESSION.• May 4. -1998 - 6:OO~rn. NEXT COUNCIL MEETING: April 27. 1998 - 7:00 p.m. 10.
