Planning Commission Resolution 507-97 • May 21, 1997 Page 3 there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. (3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. The placement of the garage so that the bulk of the structure is hidden from street view will provide adequate screening, and will preserve the residential character of the neighborhood. The garage will be screened from the neighboring property to the north by a privacy fence and a change of elevation. The properties to the east and south, however, would have no such screening. (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 are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for storage of vehicles and other equipment. Having this garage will allow for the property to be kept in better order and for storage of larger-than-typical equipment. Improving neighborhoods by enclosing stored • items is beneficial to the community and consistent with community goals. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations: 1. The conditional use permit 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 be designed and maintained to provide a uniform building appearance with the dwelling unit. 3. 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. 4. No other accessory buildings shall be allowed on this lot.
