He explained that if Mr. Jahnke desired further specifics on this matter, staff <br />could provide this information. <br /> <br />There were no further requests or comments from the floor. <br /> <br />10. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Public Hearing to Discuss and Consider a Conditional Use Permit for an <br />Oversized Shed at 7474 Groveland Road. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin opened the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated the applicant, Phil Johnson, was requesting a conditional use <br />permit for a 400 square-foot shed on his property located at 7474 Groveland Road, to replace a <br />smaller shed which has grown too small for his needs. He indicated the Planning Commission <br />reviewed this case at their meeting on May 17th, and in terms of the adverse affects criteria and <br />the dimensional and zoning requirements for this type of use, felt that this request was in keeping <br />with the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated staff has inspected the subject property, which is a very nice, <br />well-maintained lot. He explained that the proposed 400 square-foot shed would be located <br />behind the house and buffered by a number of mature trees, and a privacy fence. He indicated <br />staff has drafted a resolution for Council action, which would approve the conditional use permit <br />with four stipulations. He advised that the resolution was required to be recorded with Ramsey <br />County, the shed could not be used for living space or other uses not allowed in the Zoning <br />District, the shed would be a permanent structure and designed and maintained to be aesthetically <br />pleasing and complementary to the house, and no other sheds or accessory buildings would be <br />allowed on the property. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated this was a public hearing, and notices were mailed out to <br />properties within 350 feet of the subject property. He indicated staff and the Planning <br />Commission recommend Council approval of the conditional use permit. <br /> <br /> There was no public input. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin closed the Public Hearing at 7:32 p.m. <br />. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomason. To Approve Resolution No. 5440, a Resolution <br />Approving a Conditional Use Permit for a 400 Square-foot Oversized Shed at 7474 Groveland <br />Road; Mounds View Planning Case No. CU00-005. <br /> <br />Mayor Coughlin stated at the previous City Council meeting, it was the consensus of the Council <br />to direct staff and the Planning Commission to examine amending the City Code to <br />accommodate a more realistic view of accessory structures on properties, and that process is <br />ongoing. He noted that two of the applications on the current Council Agenda were submitted in <br />April, and he was somewhat sickened that the residents have been required to go through so <br />much red tape simply to construct a small storage shed in back of their property.
