Planning Commission Resolution 588-99 July 21, 1999 • Page 3 adjacent residential properties. Because the house is set back further than is typical, and because the garage is situated behind the house, there would be substantial public screening from this accessory structure. In terms of its relationship with the two adjoining properties, the backyard of the subject property is well shielded by privacy fencing and tall trees and bushes on either side and is separated by distance from the property to the rear. In staff's opinion, all properties are completely screened from the proposed garage addition. 4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. 5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. 6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. Garages and detached accessory outbuildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for the storage of vehicles and yard and garden equipment. • NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit to allow for a 1,000 square-foot garage with the following stipulations: 1. The conditional use permit shall be recorded with Ramsey County within 60 days of City Council approval, and a receipt of such recording shall be provided to the City of Mounds View. 2. The garage shall not be used for living space or other uses not allowed by the district in which it is located or by the Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was granted, the conditional use permit shall become null and void. 3. The garage shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform building appearance with the existing garage and house, which is to mean the garage shall at a minimum be painted with the same color-scheme as the home. 4. All vehicles parked at the property shall be parked either upon the driveway's improved surface or within the garage. At no time shall a vehicle be allowed to park upon the grass or off of the improved surface. 5. The existing shed on the lot shall be moved to maintain a minimum six-foot setback from the garage and five feet from the rear or side lot lines. 111) BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Planning Commission directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
