. . - Resolution S333 April 26, 1999 Page 2 WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings that possible adverse effects have been considered in its action, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. I.e.: 1. Relationship with thc Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality. appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 2091 Terrace Drive, as low-density residential. This proposal does not conjlict with the Comprehensive Plan. 2, 4. The Geographical Arca Involved & the Charactcr ofthe Surrounding Area. In this area ofN/ound\' View. most of the homes and lots are a/a similar design and size, many (~l which have garages as large or larger than that existing at 2091 Terrace Drive. Afore than half of the garages in this area are detached from the principal structure. A larger garage on the subject property would not appear out of place. 3. Whether such usc will tend to or actually depreciatc the area in which it is proposed. Constructing a larger garage than what is current!.v existing will have an immediate positive impact on the property value je)r the .Hl~iecl properly. It is not conceivable that this garage addition 1-1iOuld depreciate the surrounding area in any lI'GY. 5. The demonstratcd necd for such a use. 7'llC existing garage is small by today 's standard and/or the needs of the property owner. WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings regarding the criteria for approval of a conditional use permit, as required by Section 1 125.01 Subd. 3 .b.: I. The use will not creatc an exccssive burdcn on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilitics which servc or arc proposed to scrve the area. 7. Thl~ use will not causc traffic hazards or congestion. 8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and neccssary facilitics have been or will be provided. Constructmg a larger garage would 110t create a greater impact on existing public facilities, parks. schools or services, on utilities or access roads, nor l1iOuld it create an increase in trajlic on adjacent streets. 2. Thc usc will bc sufficicntly compatible or separatcd by distance or scrcening from adjacent residentially .wncd or used land so that existing homes will not be depreCIated in value and there will bc no dcterrence to dcvelopment of vacant land. The structure and site shall have an appearancc that will not havc an adversc effect upon adjaccnt residential propcrties. 3. Because the house is set back approximately 50 feet from the street and because the garage would be located behind the house, the garage H'ould be substantially screened/rom puhlic vieH'. The garage would be located toward the west side of the lot, thereby providing a separation of distance between it and the property to the east. 171e property to the west, wllh no screening, is already accustomed to having a garage at this location.
