Mounds View Planning Commission May 21, 1997 • Regular Meeting Page 3 section. He indicated that he wants to leave a portion of the old driveway for his basketball hoop. Chair Peterson asked if the new driveway would be paved. The applicant indicated that eventually it would be, depending upon the funds available. Commissioner Brasaemle inquired about the number of entrances in the front of the garage. Planning Associate Ericson indicated that he believes this requirement applies only to the front of the garage, not the rear. Commissioner Miller inquired as to the requirement for improved surfaces when building a new garage. Mr. Ericson commented that our Code states that parking surfaces (i.e., driveways) must be improved. Community Director Sheldon added that the minimum allowed would be gravel. Mr. Newcombe again stated that the driveway would be done with concrete next year when the funds are available. Motion/Second: Stevenson/Brasaemle to approve Resolution No. 506-97, "Resolution Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit to Allow an Oversized Garage for Kenneth Newcombe, 7150 Knollwood Drive, Mounds View Planning Case No. 480-97", as amended. • Jerry Blanski, 2933 Woodale Drive, addressed the Planning Commission stating that he borders Mr. Newcombe's property and that he has no objection to the size of the proposed garage but is concerned with the time period in which he has to complete the garage. Mr. Ericson indicated that there is a stipulation with approval of the conditional use permit that the applicant would have one year to complete the garage and if it is not completed within that time the applicant must remove the garage or apply for a new conditional use permit. Mr. Blanski also inquired about the width of the lot and where the garage would be located and wondered how close he would be to the property lines. Mr. Ericson indicated that the garage Commissioner Miller indicated that the Code does allow five feet from the property line. Mr. Blanski was concerned with the applicant having to remove another tree to build the garage. Mr. Blanski asked that the stipulations again be stated. Commissioner Miller inquired about the statement contained in the resolution that refers to "storage of larger than typical equipment" being allowed. Planning Associate Ericson responded by saying that he believes this statement refers to riding lawn mowers as opposed to a push mower, but that the statement could be changed to be more specific. •
