City Council Resolution No. 5137 June 23, 1997 Page 3 (3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. • The placement of the garage so that the bulk of the structure is hidden from street view will provide adequate screening, and will preserve the residential character of the neighborhood. The garage will be in full view of the adjoining property to the north. (4) The use,in the opinion of the City Council,is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. (5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. (6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Garages are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for storage of vehicles and other equipment. Having this garage will allow for the property to be kept in better order. Improving neighborhoods by enclosing stored items is beneficial to the community and consistent with community goals. WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings regarding the requirements which oversized garages must meet as stated in Section 1106.04 Subd. 6: a. The accessory building must conform with Section 1103.06 and Subdivision 1106.03(1)of this title. b. The combined square footage of all accessory buildings on one lot cannot exceed 1,264 square feet. c. If the garage square footage is greater than 1,000 square feet,no other accessory storage building is allowed. d. The building shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance with the dwelling unit. e. The width of the building cannot exceed 35 feet nor allow for more than three vehicle access. The oversized garage will be 1,264 square-foot, and there will be no other outbuildings on the property. The width of the garage will be 32 feet with access for two vehicles. The garage as proposed would take up less than 2 percent of the area of the lot. The garage will replace a smaller out-building on the property. The garage is proposed to be sided in a manner consistent with the house. The garage is consistent with the requirements in Section 1103.06 and 1106.03(1). f. Should the use for which the permit was granted be changed,the permit shall be subject to reconsideration,revocation or other action regulated by Section 1125.01 of this Title. • This requirement has been included as a condition in this resolution.
