4N. Approve Resolution approving waiver of platting for PID No. 19-117-23-33-0089
Wegscheid requested removal of item 4N to allow for neighbors' comments.
Joleen Stadskiev, 4731 Manchester, stated she just found out about this on Sunday
night. Stadsklev stated that this is a small lot and she is concerned with putting two
homes on two small lots and she wants to know if there are any other requested
waivers.
Mound City Council Minutes — April 26, 2016
Smith stated that there are no additional variances being requested for future
construction and that the waiver of platting process under Mound code states that if you
are using the original lot lines and reconfiguring them, action can be approved without a
public hearing or without going to the planning commission. Smith says that Mound
chose to notify the abutting neighbor properties as a courtesy but that this was not a
required action.
Smith says this property was subdivided several years ago by a previous owner and that
owner started the process but did not finish. Smith says the property owner opted to
wait until he had buyers for the lots and that the property was subsequently sold.
Smith says that if the property meets all the regulations and meets the lot of record
status, this waiver of platting can be approved by a simple action of the council.
Smith says it is anticipated that the construction will be conforming. Stadsklev asked
about the building setbacks for this lot. Smith says that an interior non -lakefront lot
would have side setbacks of 6', front of 20', principal structure setback of 15'. Smith said
there are some alleviations for decks dependent on where they are located on the lot.
Stadsklev is aware of water issues on the east lot and expressed concern about runoff
from the property especially toward her home if two homes are built on the lot. Smith
says drainage and runoff is part of the city's review of the building plans. These plans
are also reviewed by engineering and public works and generally speaking, water has to
be accommodated and has to go to an appropriate location.
James Kohout, 12545 85th Place, Maple Grove, said if he moves forward with building,
he will likely use Fieldstone Family Homes to be the builder and market it on the MLS as
"to be built." If Kohout does not get an immediate buyer, he may build it as a spec home
to sell.
MOTION by Gillispie, seconded by Peterson, to approve the resolution. All voted in
favor. Motion carried
RESOLUTION NO. 16-56: RESOLUTION APPROVING WAIVER OF PLATTING FOR
PID NO. 19-117-23-32-0089
5. Comments and suggestions from citizens present on any item not on the agenda.
None offered.
1.1
Brustad presented a slide show of the many activities offered at the Gillespie Center.
7. Planning Commission Recommendation
Smith presented a proposed amendment to the zoning ordinance regarding parking
regulations. In January of 2014, the Council held a public hearing for review of several
amendments to the city's parking regulations including streamlining them to help make them
easier to understand. One of the amendments reviewed by the planning commission was
Mound City Council Minutes — April 26, 2016
inadvertently left out of the official draft. Smith is now bringing it to Council for review and
action to be consistent with regulations in the city code and to put the language back into the
code where it was intended.
The language is intended for staff, when making parking regulation decisions, to inform the
Council of these instances so the Council may choose to discuss parking regulations if the
Council feels it is warranted. Smith added that if a business disagrees with a staff decision
they can take up the regulation with the Council.
Smith states the omission was merely a housekeeping error. Smith is bringing it back to the
Council to have this language put back into code. She added the Planning Commission
recommended approval.
Mayor Wegscheid opened the public hearing at 7:33 p.m., and upon receiving no
comments, closed the public hearing.
MOTION by Salazar, seconded by Gillispie, to adopt the following ordinance. All voted in
favor. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE NO. 05-2016: ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 129 OF THE MOUND
CITY CODE AS IT RELATES TO THE PARKING REGULATIONS

Mayor Wegscheid talked about the Tuxedo Blvd. street project. Yesterday, the Mayor and
City Manager took a tour of the area. Wegscheid added that due to the recent rain events
more rock was put down on road but asked listeners to please remember that this is a
construction site and things won't be perfect. Wegscheid noted stop signs have been
temporarily added at Waterbury and Warner and the difficulty with the angle of the stop light
has been adjusted. There will be stepped-up police presence to help maintain speeds in the
area. Mayor Wegscheid stated that the water and sewer are being done simultaneously
which makes the project a 5 -week timeline. Mayor Wegscheid encouraged the public to
contact the City with any issues they may have about the project.
