Mounds View Planning Commission January 6, 1999 <br /> • Regular Meeting Page 3 <br /> Obert asked if the applicant was building this house on the new lot for himself and Ericson stated <br /> that he was. <br /> Miller asked if the lot was narrower than the other lots, and if so, was there any special reason <br /> why. Ericson replied that the remaining property would be 156 feet wide, leaving the door open <br /> for a future resubdivision. Miller then asked how the proposed setback compares to the existing <br /> homes on the block. Ericson replied that most of the houses are set back thirty to forty feet, with <br /> the exception of the home on the subject property, which originally took access from Eastwood <br /> Road before Greenwood Drive was constructed. The proposed setback for the new home would <br /> be consistent with the other homes. <br /> Peterson inquired about existing structures, and whether any cross the proposed property lines, to <br /> which Ericson replied no. <br /> Brasaemle stated that while he will support this request, he has reservations about the subdivision <br /> because he likes the large lots that characterize the city. <br /> Peterson asked if the proposed home would have a three-car garage and which side of the lot the <br /> garage would be. Ericson responded that the home proposed does include a three-stall garage <br /> which would be oriented to the south end of the property.
