<br />Resolution 1005-14 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />1. Section 1121.09 Subdivision 5e of the Zoning Code states that single-family lots <br />shall be limited to one curb cut per property unless it is in the interest of public <br />safety to waive such. The detached garage is accessed regularly by a vehicle and it <br />would be easier to access with a second curb cut. <br /> <br />2. The Comprehensive Plan supports good traffic management for safer vehicle <br />movements on streets. <br /> <br />3. The applicant built a second garage to store all his vehicles inside. A second curb <br />cut would eliminate any damage to the existing curb. <br /> <br />4. The applicant built the second garage on the south side of the property because <br />there are large, mature trees next to the attached garage that would have been <br />removed to expand the existing garage. <br /> <br />5. A second curb cut should not alter the character of the residential neighborhood. <br /> <br />6. Adding the second curb cut is the minimum variance possible to alleviate what the <br />applicant has stated is his difficulty. <br /> <br />7. Staff recommends that the second curb cut width be limited to a maximum of 20 <br />feet, the width of the garage. <br /> <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning <br />Commission, based upon the above findings, approves the variance request of Frands <br />Jensen, property owner of 7800 Groveland Road, to allow a second curb cut on the south <br />side of the property, subject to the following: <br /> <br />1. The south driveway must have a hard surface driveway and new curb cut installed <br />within one year of the date of this approval. <br /> <br /> <br />Adopted this 4th day of June, 2014. <br /> <br />_________________________________ <br />Gary Stevenson, Chair <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />__________________________________ <br />James Ericson, City Administrator <br />(SEAL) <br />
