PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> MEMO <br /> To: Mounds View Planning Commission <br /> From: James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> Subject: Update on Overton Foyer Addition <br /> 2824 Woodale Drive <br /> Planning Case No. 524-98 <br /> Date: July 10, 1998 <br /> Discussion: <br /> The City has recently receive a complaint about the appearance of the foyer addition to the <br /> Overton residence at 2824 Woodale Drive. The complainant expressed disappointment that the <br /> City would approve an addition that is so out of character with the home and immediate <br /> neighborhood. The caller also complained about a house expansion on Knollwood Drive, one <br /> block north of the Overton Property. (Coincidently, the same builder is responsible for both <br /> additions.) <br /> . Staff reviewed the plans submitted to the City to verify that the construction was according to the <br /> approved plans, which apparently is the case. It was explained to the caller that the Planning <br /> Commission, in its variance approval, were approving only a reduced front-yard setback. The <br /> Commission, however, does not review the architectural appearance or design of the proposed <br /> addition--style and character are subjective criteria not usually taken into consideration. In the <br /> case of a CUP, the Commission and Council do have the ability to legislate appearance, in that <br /> one of the criteria used for granting a CUP is that the structure and site shall have an appearance <br /> that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. <br /> The caller expressed a desire to have the Planning Commissioners drive by the property at 2824 <br /> Woodale drive to observe first-hand the approved "foyer" addition. Staff has driven by the under- <br /> construction addition, and while it does not appear to be keeping with the character of the home, <br /> we are reserving final judgement until the project is completed. Even so, after the fact, the <br /> Commission's and staff's opinion regarding the addition is immaterial except to serve as a <br /> reminder and basis for future planning cases. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Individually drive by the Overton property at 2824 Woodale Road and observe the construction in <br /> progress so that this item may be further discussed at the meeting on July 15, 1998. <br /> • <br /> ite'S Ce-, <br /> James Ericson, Planning Associate <br />
