Granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant any special <br />privilege in that most property owners do not have such limited options for <br />accessory buildings. <br /> <br />5.

The variance requested would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of <br />the Code or to other properties in the vicinity. The spirit and intent of the Code is <br />preserved. <br /> <br />7. Granting the variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to <br />adjacent properties, would not increase the congestion of the public streets, <br />would not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety and would not <br />diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. <br /> <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View <br />Planning Commission unconditionally approves the requested variance for a 37.5 foot <br />wide garage and recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the 1,125 <br />square foot garage, with conditions as follows: <br /> <br />1.

Should the use change for which the permit was granted; the <br />conditional use permit shall be considered null and void. <br /> <br />2. The garage expansion shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform <br />appearance with the existing house. <br /> <br />BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission <br />directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the <br />minutes. <br /> <br />I;Y <br />Adopted this 7th day of July, 2004. / .,//~> <br />_ ';/ ./'-1.;-</ ~_. l /~~ <br />.,// "j" ......_-~ . <br />Gary Stevenson, Chairperson <br />ATTEST: c <br />o c~ UUvh9K....--' <br />James Ericson, <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />(SEAL) <br />
