411 <br /> Mounds View Planning Commission November 4, 1992 <br /> Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> garage behind his house. The main <br /> reason he's against the idea is that if <br /> the garage were built detached behind <br /> the house, the roof line would be all <br /> that could be seen from the dining room <br /> window. He was also concerned about <br /> taking up all the room in his backyard <br /> with a garage. <br /> Chair Mountin contended that these <br /> concerns have to do with aesthetics - <br /> which the Planning Commission cannot <br /> consider a hardship. The configuration <br /> in the yard may be unique, but a <br /> detached garage is a reasonable <br /> alternative. <br /> The applicant stated that he wants to be <br /> able to sell his house someday and he <br /> won't be able to do that if he has no <br /> • backyard. If he built a detached garage <br /> behind his home, he wouldn't have much <br /> of a yard left - the back 30' of his <br /> yard is low-land. <br /> Commissioner Nelson said that he thought <br /> this was a reasonable request given the <br /> make-up of the lot. He questioned the <br /> reasonableness of making the applicant <br /> build a breezeway. <br /> Commissioner Ruggles spoke in favor of <br /> granting the variance. The applicant's <br /> back yard fills with water each spring <br /> and kids need a space to play. <br /> Commissioner Peterson said that he <br /> believes the lot to be truly unique. <br /> However, he wondered if perhaps a lesser <br /> variance could be granted? <br /> Commissioner Miller stated that while <br /> she saw the uniqueness of this <br /> situation, she wondered if the variance <br /> wouldn't create new problems (such as <br /> the short driveway parking spot) . <br />
