Mounds View Planning Commission October 15, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />5. Public Hearing to Consider a Variance and Conditional Use Permit Request to <br />Expand a Garage at 7850 Spring Lake Road. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Ericson indicated the applicants have requested a variance <br />and CUP to allow for a garage expansion. He then indicated that the Comprehensive Plan <br />addresses these types of improvements and this is consistent with what the City encourages. The <br />issue with the variance is because of the 10 x 15 area off the back of the garage. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated the applicants submitted a brief statement as to the basis for the <br />variance and the one thing that he found most interesting is that they do not have a basement so <br />they are very limited in storage space. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that Staff has reviewed this request and it does not appear that this <br />expansion would create any sort of adverse impact nor will it block anyone’s view of the lake. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that the request is consistent with all of the requirements and in terms <br />of the CUP satisfies all the requirements with the exception of the garage width. He then handed <br />out plans showing the proposed expansion. <br /> <br />Director Ericson indicated that because of the variance request the neighbors were notified of <br />this public hearing and Staff has received no comments either way. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:10 p.m. <br /> <br />There were no residents in attendance to comment. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Zwirn/Hegland. To Approve Resolution 741-03, a Resolution Approving <br />a Variance for a 40-foot Wide Garage and Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit <br />to Allow for An Expanded 1,110 Square-Foot Garage at 7850 Spring Lake Road. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6.
