Resolution 5353 <br /> August 23, 1999 <br /> Page 3 <br /> 3. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon <br /> adjacent residential properties. <br /> Because the house to the east is set back further from the street than the house and garage <br /> at 2809 Woodale Drive, any expansion to the subject garage would be fully visible to <br /> people on both Woodale Drive and Silver Lake Road, in addition to the abutting property <br /> owners. There would be little if any screening of the proposed 54 foot long garage, the <br /> appearance of which would likely have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential <br /> properties. <br /> 4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the <br /> City and to the existing land use. <br /> 5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning <br /> district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. <br /> 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Garages and detached accessory outbuildings are typical uses in residential areas, and <br /> allow for the storage of vehicles and yard and garden equipment. A garage expansion in <br /> and of itself would be consistent with the intent of the Zoning Code, although the Code <br /> stipulates that any time a proposed garage or garage expansion becomes larger than the <br /> house, City review in the form of a conditional use permit is required The intent of this <br /> provision is grounded in the concern that a garage should not excessively dominate the <br /> property or create a proportional imbalance. <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council after <br /> reviewing the documents associated with this proposal, the possible adverse effects and criteria for <br /> CUP approval, does hereby deny the conditional use permit request for a 1,296 square-foot garage <br /> at 2809 Woodale drive due to the existence of adverse effects resulting from the expanded garage <br /> and the finding that the general criteria for approval cannot be satisfied. <br /> Adopted this 23rd day of August, 1999. <br /> Dan Coughlin,Mayor <br /> ATTEST: <br /> Charles S.
