Mounds View Planning Commission July 17, 2002 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked if there is a wall between the last stall and the new addition. <br /> <br />Planner Atkinson said yes. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated the biggest issue is to make sure that the variance granted is the <br />minimum necessary to alleviate the hardship. He then indicated the Commission is not opposed <br />to residents upgrading their property and asked how far from the property line the current garage <br />is. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumhoefner indicated the garage is a total of 14 feet from the property line and the sheds <br />are located six inches into the five (5) foot setback. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn noted that Mr. Baumhoefner had referred to a regulation size 9 foot <br />overhead door and commented that a 9 foot door is not regulation. He then asked if there was an <br />intent to store a vehicle in that stall with a wood floor. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumhoefner indicated the plans had been changed to include a cement floor. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zwirn indicated he mentioned that there were other door widths that would not <br />require variances. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated an addition of less than 10 feet in width would crowd most people and <br />does not seem feasible. <br /> <br />Commissioner Johnson asked what the width of the other two garage doors is. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumhoefner indicated the artist who had sketched the drawing of the garage had made it <br />proportional and he thinks they were working with 18 feet and 9 foot doors. <br /> <br />Commissioner Miller asked what would be done about the driveway. <br /> <br />Mr. Baumhoefner indicated there was already a parking pad located there. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:13 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Hegland/Johnson. To Approve Resolution 701-02, a Resolution <br />Approving a Variance From the Side Yard Setback Requirement to Allow a Garage Addition to <br />Extend Within Four (4) Feet of the Side Property Line on the Property Located at 5532 St. <br />Stephen Street. <br /> <br />Ayes – 7 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br />
