Item No 10 B <br />Meeting Date: April 24, 2000 <br />Type of Business: PH & CB <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Planner <br />Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Consideration of Resolution 5423, a <br />Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for an <br />Over-sized Shed at 2159 Terrace Drive <br />Date of Report: April 19, 2000 <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />The applicant, Robert Kleinschmidt, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to <br />allow for the construction of a 256 square-foot oversized shed in the backyard of his <br />property located at 2159 Terrace Drive. The property is located in the northeast section <br />of the City, a block from the City’s eastern municipal border. The 13,125 square-foot, <br />well maintained lot is improved with a typical 1 ½ story home and two car garage. There <br />is a small wood-framed shed in the backyard that would be removed upon completion of <br />the proposed larger shed. There is an 8-foot tall privacy fence along the back side of the <br />property. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Section 1106.4, Subdivision 7, lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for <br />accessory storage buildings in excess of 216 square feet. These requirements, such as <br />setbacks and maximum square-footage are met with this proposal. The setbacks for an <br />accessory structure are five feet; the applicant is proposing to locate the shed <br />approximately 10 feet from the property line. The area of the proposed shed would be <br />256 square feet, which is less than the maximum allowed 400 square feet. The area of <br />the proposed shed plus the area of the existing 720 square-foot garage amount to 976 <br />square feet, which represents a 13 percent back yard coverage, well below the maximum <br />20 percent coverage threshold. <br /> <br />General Conditional Use Permit Criteria: <br /> Section 1125.01, Subdivision3b, outlines the general conditional use permit requirements that must be satisfied in order for approval to be granted. These requirements with responses are as follows: <br />(1) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public <br />facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area. <br /> <br />It is not anticipated that the shed would create any burden on parks, schools and other public <br />utilities.
