Approved Commissioner Zisla strongly apposes using the tennis and basketball court areas as additional parking. He feels that the applicant should not take away any recreational areas. He was also concerned about the parking problem that exists on 13th Street NW, due to the baseball games, and believes that this would cause additional problems. He does believe that the proposed conversion of the cul-de-sac may be the best plan. Mr. Nick Temali, Community Director for Mounds View School District, reported that the school district has done considerable work on the site and that the District does not agree that there is a need of an additional ten parking stalls. If the school district finds that there is a parking problem they will adjust the scheduling of the building to alleviate the problem. Commissioners asked why the applicant has not submitted a new special use permit since the use of the school is changing from the original special use permit. Commissioners held considerable discussion about this point. The conclusion was that the proposed use "food shelf'. The consensus was that the applicant shall be allowed to re-program the space within the building,provided they stay within the confines of the existing parking. Any additional uses which demand additional parking would require the applicant to re- apply for a new special use permit.
