Meeting Conclusion The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community Item No: 05A Meeting Date: Mar 6, 2019 Type of Business: Planning Case DE2019-001 City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 1094-19, Recommending Approval of an Amendment to a Development Review for Central Sandblasting, located at 2299 County Road H (Planning Case DE2019-001) Introduction Central Sandblasting does sandblasting and painting of large metal structures (e.g. I-beams for buildings). The property includes two buildings. A Development Review was approved in August 2018, to remove the east building, and add onto the west building. The applicant is requesting to amend the 2018 Development Review to allow a portion of the to-be-removed building to remain (80’ X 80’). The area was planned for outside storage, but would now be used as inside storage. Discussion A Development Review is required for building construction or expansion, exceeding 10% or 10,000 sq ft. The approved Development Review was for a 16,000 sq ft addition. A Development Plan …“shows proposed plans for utility service, surface water drainage consistent with the most recently adopted Local Surface Water Management Plan subject to subsequent revisions, erosion and sediment control consistent with current City standards, streets, driveways, trails, parking, landscaping, screening and buffering, lighting, setbacks, exterior construction design and materials, trash disposal, construction timetable”...1 If the amendment is approved, it would not have a significant effect on the 2018 Development Review, other than showing that portion of the building to remain. The existing east building is 80’ X 220’. Of that, an 80’ X 80’ section would be kept, and the rest demolished, and the area used for outside storage of materials. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: The Development Review relates to the Vision, “Create and maintain a positive business climate where businesses want to locate and remain in Mounds View”. Financial Impact: There is no impact to the City. 1 City Code, section 1006.06, Subd 3(a) (Development Plan) The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community Item 05A Central Sandblasting Page 2 Summary Central Sandblasting proposes to amend its 2018 Development Review. The Development Review included the removal of an 80’ X 220’ building. The amended plan will allow an 80’ X 80’ portion to remain, to be used for inside storage. There is no Public Hearing required for Development Reviews. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Amendment. Recommendation The Planning Commission is requested to consider the following options; 1. Resolution 1094-19, recommending approval. 2. The Planning Commission may choose to recommend denial of the Amended Development Review. If the Commission chooses this option, Staff would need to be directed to draft a resolution of denial with findings of fact appropriate to support the denial. 3. Table the request. 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 of the 60-day requirements (Deadline: April 19, 2019) the Commission would need to act upon the request as soon as reasonably possible to avoid an inadvertent approval.

Planning Cases A. Resolution 1093-19, Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision located at 8456 Red Oak Drive Community Development Director Sevald stated Patrick Schmeichel of Elin Marco Group, is requesting approval of a Minor Subdivision of the property located at 8456 Red Oak Drive. The property will be subdivided into two single-family lots. A house and garage were demolished in October, 2018. Staff recommended the Planning Commission approve the Minor Subdivision as requested. He provided further comment on the request. Commissioner Klander commented on the park dedication fee. He questioned if the proposed fee was too high. Chair Stevenson explained a 10% park dedication fee has been charged for quite some time. He reported park dedication fees were established by the City Council. Community Development Director Sevald reported Parcel A has already paid its park dedication fees but noted Parcel B was being charged through the minor subdivision as it would be a new lot in the City. Patrick Schmeichel of Elin Marco Group, commented on the gross lot size and asked if the Park Dedication fee should be divided in half. Community Development Director Sevald discussed how the City determined its park dedication fees. Commissioner Klander asked if the City had ever decreased its park dedication fees for a project. Community Development Director Sevald recalled the City had reduced the Bel Rae’s park dedication fee in lieu of constructing a trail. Commissioner Nelson commented this was a very large lot and reported the fee was proportional to the size of the lot. Councilmember Meehlhause discussed several previous planning cases where park dedication fees may have been adjusted. He reported the other developments were much larger than the proposed minor subdivision. Commissioner Klander stated he would like to further investigate park dedication fees. He supported multi-family housing developments being charged more for park dedication fees than single family residential homes. He explained he did not support the proposed park dedication fee for this minor subdivision. Community Development Director Sevald stated he could provide the Commission with park dedication fee information that was gathered by the City of Roseville. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Rundle/Commissioner Farmer. To approve Resolution 1093-19, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Minor Subdivision at 8456 Red Oak Drive, Planning Case MI2018-001.

Other Planning Activity A. Annual Review of Planning Commission Bylaws Community Development Director Sevald requested the Planning Commission review and approve the bylaws. Commissioner Klander commented on Section C and the open meeting requirements. Community Development Director Sevald discussed the importance of the Commission having their discussion and for decision making to occur at scheduled meetings. Commissioner Farmer asked if Commission members could attend neighborhood meetings to gather information regarding a Planning Case. Chair Stevenson reported Commissioners were always allowed to attend neighborhood meetings. Community Development Director Sevald cautioned Commissioners from declaring their opinion at these meetings as this could become a conflict of interest. Commissioner Klander questioned if the City had put further restrictions in place than was necessary for open meeting laws. Chair Stevenson explained the City’s requirements does go slightly further than typical open meeting laws. However, he supported the language because it protected Commissioners and the City. Community Development Director Sevald described the issues the Commissioners could discuss and noted it was never okay to discuss how members were going to vote. Commissioner Rundle stated each vote he makes was taking into consideration what was best for the City of Mounds View. Chair Stevenson asked if the Commission had to take action on this item. Community Development Director Sevald stated action was only required if the Commission was proposing a change to the bylaws. The Commission did not have any proposed changes for the bylaws. ______________________________________________________________________________ 7. Reports A.
