Mounds View Planning Commission July 6, 2016 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />There was Commission consensus to allow ADU’s on second story, third story or in a basement <br />as a permitted use so long as there were no structural changes. Discussion ensued regarding <br />exterior stairwells. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klander believed that if the unit required a building permit, the neighbors should <br />be notified regarding the ADU. <br /> <br />Planner Sevald questioned if an ADU should be a permitted or conditional use for new <br />construction homes with a detached garage with an apartment unit. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson did not believe that this should be a conditional use since the home would be <br />constructed in this manner. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klebsch agreed stating the ADU would be a part of the original footprint of the <br />home and garage. <br /> <br />Commissioner Love encouraged the City to keep aesthetics in mind for this code amendment. <br /> <br />Planner Sevald thanked the Commission for all of the input. He stated he would revise the text <br />amendment and report back at a future meeting. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6.
