. e . ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 1, 1999 UN.At" '13 cars are not parked on the street. Staff recommended no parking on the end and sides of the cul- de-sac to allow for traffic turnaround. Ms. Randall advised that staff recommended approval of Planning Case 99-16, Special Use Permit, to modify the north portion of the Arden Manor Mobile Home Park subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant work with the City to update the special use permit for the entire park within the next two years. Ms. Randall stated the reason for the two year time limit was the reconstruction of Highway 96, which may effect some of the units on this side of the park. 2. "No Parking" signs be placed on the end of Banyan Street and along the sides 100 feet from the end of the street. 3. Banyan Street be marked to show parking and drive lanes to be approved by the City Engineer. If the Planning Commission makes a recommendation on this Planning Case, and no additional documentation was needed from the applicant, then it would be heard at the September 27,1999, regular meeting of the City Council. With regard to condition number two, Commissioner Sand assumed that this referred to the west end of Banyan Street. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct.

Commissioner Sand confirmed that there were no problems with emergency vehicles getting through the streets with on-street parking. Ms. Randall stated that this has not been a concern. Mr. Frances Husnic, Arden Manor Mobile Home Park, stated that the drawing presented to the Planning Commission was not accurate and presented them with new drawings ofthe north portion of the park, before and after reconstruction. He explained some of the improvements made to the area and stated that there was no need for Abele Street to remain, as Banyan Street was 60 feet wide. The intent was to design on-street parking for the north and south side of the street. Mr. Husnic expressed concern for being in violation if the north portion of the park was included in the special use permit as any homes that were removed would not be allowed to be replaced. Chair Erickson asked Ms. Randall to explain what portion of the mobile home park was included in the special use permit and how the special use permit would effect the north portion of the park. Ms. Randall demonstrated on the drawing the amount of the southern portion included in the special use permit. She believed that the applicant was objecting to being required by the
