. . . Resolution 5312 February 22, 1999 Page 2 In this area ofAfound\' Viell', there is a good mix betll'eenlarger lots and smaller lots. Adost of the homes in the immediate area are of the same si=e and age. many of which having garages as large or larger than that of8100 Long Lake Road. Afore than half of the garages in the area are aI/ached to the principal structure. A larger garage on the subject property would not appear out (~fplace. 3. Whether such use \viII tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Increasing the size of the existing garage lvill have ([/1 immediate positive impact on the property value for the su~ject property, and m(~v actual(v increase the perceived values qf the homes surrounding 8100 Long Lake Road in that vehicles which were once parked or stored outside would be stored inside the garage addition. It is not conceivahle that this garage addition would depreciate the surrounding area in any wczv. 5. The demonstrated need for such a lIse. The existing garage is too smal/ fin' the need\' (?lthe proper~v O1l'ner. 717e applicant desires a large enough garage to park his vehicles il/side, protectedfi'om the elements and possible vandalism. WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the Following findings regarding the criteria for approval ofa conditional use permit, as required by Section 1125.0] Subd.3.b.: 1. The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. Adequatc utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. 7. 8. Adding an addition to the garage, even one as large as is being requeste(1, would not create a greater impact on existing public./llcilities, parks. schools or services, 011 utilities or access road\', nor would it create an increase intrt(ffic on ac!jacent streets. 2. The use will be sufficiently compatible or scparated by distance or screening from adjaccnt residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of"vacant land. 3. The structure and site shall have an appcarance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. Because this is a small lot, the expanded garage would have little visual screening. In terms l?f its relationship with the two ac!joining properties, the garage is separatedfi'om the proper()' to the north by another garage, so the expansion would have little impact upon that property. The property to the west would l/ot be separated b.v II/Ucll distance or any ph~vsical screening. 4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably rclated to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Codc and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan ofthe City. 5. 6.
