Other than the width, the proposed oversized 1,125 square foot garage <br />satisfies the dimensional requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 <br />the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that <br />the Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of <br />residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of <br />housing units and residential property in general. <br /> <br />3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the character and <br />geography of the surrounding area involved and the size of the subject property <br />which is able to accommodate such a structure. <br /> <br />4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood. <br /> <br />5. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for the <br />proposed oversized garage. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View <br />Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the variance <br />request: <br /> <br />1. The property is located just off of a cul-de-sac and is located on Spring Lake. <br />The irregularly shaped lot and the desire to preserve the view of Spring Lake limit <br />the possible locations of accessory buildings. The proposed garage allows the <br />homeowner to have only one accessory structure, which is planned to be located <br />as far from Spring Lake as possible. In addition, a utility easement limits the <br />depth of the proposed garage. <br /> <br />2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the <br />applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in that most property <br />owners could have up to three accessory buildings, but due to the constraints of <br />the lot, the applicant has limited options. <br />
