Mounds View Planning Commission May 21, 1997 • Regular Meeting Page 4 Commissioner Brasaemle questioned the height of the proposed garage and questioned the maximum height requirement of 15 feet. Director Sheldon explained that the 15 feet maximum is measured to a point halfway up the peak, based on the definition for building height. Motion Carried: 7 ayes, 0 nays The Planning Commission continued to discuss the amendments to the stipulations contained in the resolution. The applicant was informed that the City Council would be considering this case on June 9, 1997, at which time a public hearing would be held. 5. Planning Case No. 481-97 7765 Spring Lake Road Applicant: Noel Barragan . Request for a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage (1,180 square feet). The applicants, C. R. and Noel Barragan, were present. Planning Associate Ericson explained that the applicant is requesting a conditional use permit to construct an oversized garage (1,180 square feet) located at 7765 Spring Lake Road. He added that the dimensions of the garage will be 36 feet by 32 feet and would take 7.1 percent of the area of the lot (not including the property that extends across the street and under a portion of Spring Lake). The Planning Commission was concerned with the two curb cuts on the property. The applicant responded that the double curb cut is aesthetically pleasing and would rather not remove one of them. Director Sheldon added that perhaps this issue could be worked out when Spring Lake Road is reconstructed in 1998. The Code allows for homeowners to apply for a variance to keep two driveways and a possible justification in this case could be a site distance problem because the property is on a curve. The Planning Commission discussed the amendments to the stipulations contained in the resolution. •
