<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Resolution 501-97 <br />Planning Case No. 479-97, Oversized Garage CUP for Anthony Honkomp <br />May 7, 1997 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which the use is proposed. <br /> <br />The garage proposed is only 130 square feet larger than what is allowed without a CUP. <br />The difference should bear no discemable impact upon the adjacent or surrounding <br />properties. <br /> <br />5. The demonstrated need for such a use. <br /> <br />The applicant has indicated that the garages will be used to store personal vehicles and <br />equipment used in a contracting business. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission makes the following findings <br />relative to the criteria stated in Section 1125.01 Subd. 3.b. of the Mounds View Municipal Code: <br /> <br />(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other <br />public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. <br /> <br />The oversized garage will not create any additional burden on facilities and utilities <br />beyond what would be expected from a 864 square foot garage. <br /> <br />(2) The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent <br />residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and <br />there will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. <br />(3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon <br />adjacent residential properties. <br /> <br />The character of the development is such that it will fit in with the principal structure to <br />which it will be attached and with surrounding properties, many of which have larger, <br />multi-car garages. <br /> <br />(4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the <br />City and to the existing land use. <br /> <br />The Council, by virtue of its previous approval of this project, has determined that it is <br />reasonably related to the needs of the City and the expected use of this property. <br /> <br />(5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning <br />district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. <br /> <br />The garage meets all of the requirements, with the exception of the width and number of <br />accesses into the garage. Because this permit has twice been approved and the foundation <br />
