Resolu(ion J?9-12 �a,qe 7_ NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient practical difficulty with regard to the property located at 8027 Woodlawn Drive, and makes the following findings of fact related to its decision: 1. The garage does not exceed the height of the house and is intended to provide enough indoor storage for the amount of items that the applicant owns. 2. The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that the applicant has added a significant improvement to his property and can store more items indoors. 3. The applicant owns several vehicles, trailers and other equipment that could be stored indoors. He will be able to maintain his property by being able to store most or all of his items inside. 4. The applicanYs lot is almost an acre in size, which is larger than most in the city. 5. The taller garage does not appear to be an overwhelming size for the neighborhood or the applicanYs property. 6. The nine (9) inch variance is the minimum variance required to alleviate the applicanYs practical difficulty since the structure is already built. 7. The Planning Commission may impose conditions upon the premises as may be necessary to comply with city standards and to minimize the effect of such variance upon other properties in the neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Pianning Commission, based upon the above findings, approves the variance request of Tim Downing, property owner of 8027 Woodlawn Drive, to allow a nine (9) inch height variance for the garage, subject to the following conditions: a. The applicant must receive approval from the Building Official for a new building permit for the garage as it is actually built by July 1, 2012. b. The applicant must pay the additional permit fees for the new building permit by July 1, 2012. c. The applicant must complete the exterior of the garage by fJctober 1, 2012. ;, Adopted this 18`� day of April, 2012. �1 !� / � � Gary SteJenson, Chairperson ATTEST: � AMn.,�.-o James Ericson, City Administrator (SEAL)
