DISCUSSION ITEM: CASE #91-040: JOHN FLAHERTY,
2313 COMMERCE BLVD. (NETKA BUILDING), PID
#14-117-24 44 0042t AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL
USE PERMIT #91-123.
The City Planner explained that this is a discussion item. The
applicant originally submitted a floor plan that was part of the
approving resolution. He subsequently changed the floor plan which
did not conform with the resolution of approval. This would
require an amendment to the conditional use permit. An amendment
to a conditional use permit requires a public hearing. Thus, the
applicant has submitted a third floor plan which is a little
different than the language in the resolution, but is in compliance
with the terms of the resolution, i.e. allowing only 4 video
machines on the main floor, the mezzanine level will not be used
until it can be brought up to handicapped code.
The Planner then explained that there needs to be some channeling
or control over vehicle movement in the alley that runs along the
south side of the building where the entrance will be. The
suggestion is to install bollards or other barrier devices on
private property to ensure the safety of pedestrians entering and
exiting the building.
The Council discussed the last floor plan submitted and agreed that
it was essentially in compliance. They want the plan to show the
dumpster enclosure, bike rack and bollards or barriers. The
Council advised Ms. Flaherty that if they wish to have additional
video machines or pool tables on the main floor, they would need to
apply for an amendment to the conditional use permit.
1.10 EXTENSION OF RESOLUTION #91-71, MINOR SUBDIVISION FOR FRANK
DREY, LOT 3t BLOCK 2t WESTWOOD
The Building official explained that Mr. Drey had neglected to file
Resolution #91-71 within the 180 days allowed. He now needs an
extension in order to file the resolution at Hennepin County.
Smith moved and Ahrens seconded the following resolution:

1.11 SET BID OPENING DATE FOR 1992 2 1/2 TON DUMP TRUCK WITH PLOW,
WING & SANDER
MOTION made by Jensen, seconded by Smith to approve the
specifications and set January 2?, 1992, 11:00 A.M. for the
bid opening for a 1992 2 1/2 ton dump truck with plow, wing
and sander. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion
carried.
1.12 RECOMMENDATION RE: SPECIFIC PARCEL OF TAX FORFEIT LAND
The City Clerk explained that this small piece just went tax
forfeit. It is a separate parcel (divided probably in the 40's or
50's. The City is assuming it was divided to be sold to the owner
of Lot 26 to make the dwelling on that lot not encroach on Lot 27.
For some reason or another it was never sold to the owner of Lot 26
and was not combined with Lot 27.
The Staff recommendation is that the City ask Hennepin County to
sell this parcel to the City of Mound and the City will then resell
it for the same price to the owner of Lot 26. The owner will then
combine this parcel with Lot 26. This will at least make the
dwelling on Lot 26 not encroach on Lots 27.
Ahrens moved and Jensen seconded the following resolution:
RESOLUTION #92-10
RESOLUTION TO REQUEST THE HENNEPIN COUNTY
BOARD SELL (PID #24-117-24 41 0079), PART
OF LOT 27, BLOCK 26, WYCHWOOD, TO THE
CITY OF MOUND TO BE RESOLD TO THE OWNER
OF LOT 26, BLOCK 26, WYCHWOOD
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.

1.13 PAYMENT OF BILLS

IT'S OFFICIAL! Toro has signed a new lease with Welsh
Companies. It is a minimum 2 year lease up to a maximum of 10
years with renewal at two, four and eight years. The lease is
retroactive to 7/31/91. We are very pleased that Toro and
Welsh Companies worked out a new agreement and that we were
able to retain one of our largest employers. It is a good
economic boost to our City.

Final Drafts of Rental Housing Ordinance (Section 319) and

these and be prepared to discuss at the C.O.W. Meeting
Tuesday, January 21, 1992. Jon Sutherland and myself will be
bringing some implementation alternatives to the COW Meeting
for you to consider. The Planning Commission has worked very
hard, along with Staff, to come up with these proposed
ordinances. They have held one public hearing and have
dedicated many work sessions to coming up with these
proposals. You will have to decide how much detail you want
to go into them. Following discussion of the ordinances,
you are going to want to spend some time analyzing the
implementation alternatives. You will have to decide how much
time you want to spend. This has been a major undertaking and
it may take several meetings to review and consider.
