Item No. 8I <br /> Staff Report No. y?- <br /> Meeting Date: June 9, 1997 <br /> 11111 Type of Business: Consent Calendar <br /> WK:Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; <br /> CA:Consent Agenda;CB:Council Business <br /> City of Mounds View Staff Report <br /> To: Mayor and City Council <br /> From: Pamela Sheldon, Community Development Director <br /> Item Title/Subject: Adopt Resolution No. 5132 recognizing approval of a conditional use <br /> permit for an oversized garage at 2908 Ardan Avenue; Planning Case <br /> No. 479-97 <br /> Date of Report: June 5, 1997 <br /> Issue: <br /> We have realized that one of our planning cases has exceeded the 60 day limit, and as a result, is <br /> deemed approved without being acted upon by City Council. This case is a renewal of a <br /> conditional use permit for an oversized garage which has received two previous approvals by both <br /> Planning Commission and City Council. The oversized garage is attached to an existing house, <br /> and was included as part of the original house design. We apologize for this oversight, which was <br /> due to a combination of juggling numerous cases and a very high workload. A brief history is <br /> noted below. Because of the nature of this case, we do not regard the"automatic" approval of <br /> • this case as significant. <br /> As requested by the Mayor, we have prepared a resolution for adoption by City Council <br /> recognizing the approval of this case. <br /> Background: <br /> On March 17, 1997, Anthony Honkomp submitted an application for a conditional use permit for <br /> a oversized garage (Planning Case No. 479-97). This request had been approved by the Planning <br /> Commission and City Council on two previous occasions (April 5, 1995 and January 22, 1996). <br /> Construction of the garage was delayed longer than one year from the most recent date of <br /> approval, and therefore Mr. Honkomp applied for reapproval. Planning Case No. 479-97 was <br /> reviewed by the Planning Commission on April 16, and recommended for approval on May 7. A <br /> notice was sent to property owners within 350 feet of the property for the Planning Commission <br /> meeting on April 16. No citizens spoke on this case. The sixty day limit expired on May 16. We <br /> should have given written notice to the applicant that the City was extending the 60 day limit for <br /> an additional 60 days, as is allowed by the State law. Sending this written notice was overlooked. <br /> This case was scheduled to be heard by City Council on June 9, but publication of the notice was <br /> missed because of the Memorial Day holiday, and we asked the City Council to set the hearing on <br /> June 23. We have now realized that both June 9 and June 23 are beyond the 60 day limit. We <br /> have therefore sent a notice to the adjacent property owners that the hearing has been canceled. <br /> We felt it would be misleading to send the case to City Council for approval or disapproval, <br /> because the case has been approved by virtue of the 60 day rule. Mayor McCarty requested that <br />
