Page 4 July 27, 1998 Mounds View City Council permit is pulled for a new garage or garage expansion. Since its first reading the ordinance has been changed as follows: 1. Page 4, Subd. 2, Section 3, cross out the word "improved with a permanent surfacing material" and replace that text with "construct with a permanent improved surface". This change will alleviate the ambiguity of the term "permanent surfacing material." 2. Page 2, Subd. 3, c (1), cross out the words "to mean asphalt , concrete, or brick." Ericson briefly reviewed the ordinance language as follows for the Council and the viewing public: 1. Any new or reconstructed driveway shall be improved with a permanent surface; concrete, brick, or asphalt. Gravel or dirt driveways will not be allowed. 2. No building permit would be issued for the construction of a dwelling garage, garage expansion unless the driveway surfacing for the project is improved. 3. The square footage of the garage shall not exceed the foundation area of the house (except by conditional use permit.) 4. The combined square footage for accessory buildings in the rear yard would be reduced from 25 percent to 20 percent. 5. The maximum garage area without a conditional use permit has been increased from 864 square feet to 952 square feet. 6. The combined square footage for all accessory buildings on one lot shall not exceed 1400 square feet. 7. A shed is allowable even if the garage does exceed 1000 square feet. 8. As many garage stalls as there are units are now allowable in the R-3 and R-4 districts. 9. Commercial and industrial parking stall dimensions would be reduced from 9'x20' to 9'x18'. 10. Gravel driveways have been eliminated from the City Code. All references to temporary surfaces will be removed to eliminate confusion over the intent of what a temporary surface is.
