Planning Case No. 520-98 Oversized Shed Conditional Use Permit Ronald Overton--2824 Woodale Drive April 15, 1998 • Page 2 Analysis: Dimensional Requirements: Required Proposed Met? Shed Setbacks (Front) 30 feet 175 feet Met (Side) 5 feet 8 feet Met (Rear) 5 feet 73 feet Met Percent of Rear Yard <25% 1.3% Met Area of all Accessory Buildings: s 1,264 sf. 308 sf. Met CUP requirements: Section 1106.04 of the Zoning Code states that no accessory building other than a garage shall exceed 216 square feet except by conditional use permit. With a CUP, the maximum area for all accessory buildings is 1,264 square feet. Section 1125.01 gives a list of criteria that must be satisfied in order for conditional use permits to be approved. These criteria are as follows: 1. Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan. 111 The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 2824 Woodale Drive, low-density residential. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The Geographical Area Involved. 4. The Character of the Surrounding Area The majority of the lots in this area are larger than what is typical for Mounds View. The subject property along with those immediately adjacent to it are %of an acre or larger,some of which are heavily wooded. While the proposed shed is larger than what is might be standard for this area,the placement of the building 100 feet behind home hides it street view. The shed would be visible only to the two neighboring properties. The home behind the subject property is screened by the rolling typography and extensive tree cover. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. The conversion and relocation of the existing garage will serve to increase the subject property's value without negatively impacting the values of the neighboring properties. However,because the garage's stucco exterior matches the exterior of the home,staff would stipulate that the shed • maintain a consistent and uniform appearance with the house until such time that the shed is removed from the property.
