Item No. 614 Staff Report No. Meeting Date: Type of Business: WK Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor & City Council From: James Ericson, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and consideration of Resolution 5348, a resolution approving the issuance of a conditional use permit for an over -sized garage at 8059 Red Oak Drive Date of Report: July 21, 1999 Background: 8059 Red Oak Drive is located north of Highway 10, between Hillview and Sherwood Roads. The area of the subject property --an interior lot --is approximately 16,142 square feet. The house is set back approximately 68 feet from the street, with the detached garage situated behind the house. The house, at approximately 960 square feet, is presently larger than the existing two -stall garage, which is 480 square feet. The applicant proposes to construct a 520 square -foot addition to the rear of the garage, maintaining the same width of the existing garage. The roof line of the addition will tie in perpendicularly to the existing garage and will either be of the same height or a foot or so lower. In addition to the garage, there is also a 130 square -foot shed in the backyard, which will be moved further back to allow for the garage expansion.

Analysis: A Conditional Use Permit is required due to the size of the proposed garage. The size of the proposed garage would be 1,000 square feet, which is comparable to the size of the home. While it would be larger, there would not exist any proportional imbalance between the home and garage. The proposed addition to and location of the garage would not interfere with any future expansion plans. Dimensional Criteria All of the dimensional criteria associated with this request --setbacks, spacing between buildings, width of proposed garage, and the numbers of doors --satisfy the requirements as stated in Chapter 1104 of the Zoning Code. The proposed garage would be about 100 feet from both front and rear property lines and is setback from the side of the property by five feet. The total square footage of the garage, garage addition and shed is 1,130 square feet, which would comprise about
