Mounds View Planning Commission May 21, 1997 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 2 <br /> 4. <br /> Planning Case No. 480-97 <br /> 7150 Knollwood Drive <br /> Applicant: Kenneth Newcombe <br /> Request for a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage (1,264 square feet). <br /> The applicant, Kenneth Newcombe, was present. <br /> Planning Associate Ericson briefly reviewed the request informing the Commission <br /> that the applicant is requesting to construct a 1,264 square foot garage on his <br /> property located at 7150 Knollwood Drive and that the dimensions of the garage <br /> will be 39.5 feet by 32 feet which is four percent of the rear yard. He informed the <br /> Commission that there was an attached single car garage which was converted to <br /> living space in 1994. He informed the Commission that there are two driveways <br /> currently on the property; one leading to the old location of the garage and one <br /> leading to the proposed garage. <br /> • Mr. Ericson explained that while out at the property he noticed nuisance code <br /> violations in the rear yard (pop cans, brush, buckets, etc.) which can be seen from <br /> Woodale Drive. Mr. Ericson recommended that these items be removed prior to <br /> City Council approval of the conditional use permit. <br /> Mr. Ericson stated that all dimensional requirements have been met and he noted <br /> that the lot size is 506' by 100'. <br /> He added that Staff recommends approval of Resolution No. 506-97 <br /> recommending to the City Council approval of the conditional use permit allowing <br /> the 1,264 square foot garage with stipulations. Mr. Ericson read aloud the <br /> stipulations contained in the resolution. <br /> The applicant, Kenneth Newcombe, addressed the Planning Commission <br /> explaining that the cans and buckets will be moved to the proposed garage. He <br /> added that he will dispose of most of the brush but would keep some of it for <br /> recreational fires. Chair Peterson indicated that storage of wood is not prohibited <br /> as long as it is kept in an orderly manner. Commissioner Brooks inquired as to <br /> when they were planning to build the garage. The applicant responded that as <br /> soon as he receives approval he will begin construction. Commissioner Miller <br /> inquired about the old driveway. The applicant indicated that he would be willing to <br /> • remove a portion of the driveway leading to the street and plant grass in that <br />
