MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING COMMISSION • RESOLUTION NO. 463-96 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE TO ALLOW A GARAGE FOR CHURCH UPON THE ROCK, 7901 RED OAK DRIVE, PLANNING CASE NO. 451-96 WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the request of Church Upon the Rock for a variance to allow a private garage for supply storage at 7901 Red Oak Drive; and WHEREAS, the Municipal Code defines a garage as a "detached accessory building or portion of the principal building, including a carport, which is used for storing vehicles;" and WHEREAS, Church Upon the Rock has demonstrated that it may have all the demands a, single-family dwelling has in an R-1 zoning district; and WHEREAS, the Municipal Code currently does not recognize that a Church in an R-1 zoned district may have the same storage needs as a single family home; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the criteria used to evaluate all variance requests; and WHEREAS, the inability of the Municipal Code to address Church storage needs does not result from the actions of the applicant; and •` WHEREAS, granting the variance would not confer special privileges on the applicant that are not enjoyed by other property owners in the same district; and WHEREAS, the impacts of a garage on the property would be no greater than a single family home on the property. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission approves the request of Church Upon the Rock to allow a garage on the property contingent upon the following: 1. Whenever, within one year after granting the variance the work as permitted by this variance shall not have been completed, then this variance shall become null and void, unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has been granted by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Adopted this 10th day of July, 1996. ATTEST: Chair ete son (SEAL) • Actin Community Development Director
