Mounds View Planning Commission May 17, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 22 Planning Associate Ericson advised that the plot plan was not to scale. Chairperson Peterson stated the proposed setback would be 8 feet from the property line, and therefore, there was no issue in this regard. Commissioner Stevenson stated he would propose that the Commission include the condition that the shed be removed, as this was an opportunity to bring the property into conformity. Chairperson Peterson inquired what type of roofline would be utilized for the garage. Kenneth Waste, the applicant stated his brother-in-law was a draftsman, and would assist in the construction of the garage. He indicated they would attempt to construct the front of the garage to match the house. He stated the roofline would probably be the same height as the front of the house, and would peak toward the rear of the structure. He added that there would also be a small storage space, however, it would not be utilized as living quarters or anything of this nature. Chairperson Peterson inquired if doors or windows were proposed along the western side of the garage. Mr. Waste stated there would be nothing on the west side, however, there would be a service door on the east side of the structure, and at the back, facing north, there would be a nine- foot garage door. Commissioner Kaden inquired if there would be a service door to enter the home. Mr. Waste stated there would be one service door to access the house, and one in the back to enter the garage from the backyard. Commissioner Stevenson inquired if the applicant was proposing a 9-foot roll up door in back of the garage. Mr. Waste stated this was correct. Chairperson Peterson requested clarification regarding the purpose of this door. Mr. Waste stated he would use this door to access the garage with his riding lawnmower, which has a 48- inch cut. Chairperson Peterson inquired if the applicant intended to store items in the backyard. Mr. Waste stated he planned to store everything in the garage. He explained that he had a 24-foot boat, two snowmobiles, and riding lawnmower, and other items for storage. He stated he was not a mechanic. Chairperson Peterson pointed out that concerns of this nature were often raised, and understandable. He stated this appeared to be a good opportunity to improve the property, obtain the necessary space, and remove a couple of non-conformities in the process.
