Mounds View Planning Commission May 15, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />Commissioner Rundle questioned if any comments were received from the neighbors. <br /> <br />Associate Heller indicated the property owner to the north was in the audience and fully <br />supported the addition. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Rundle/Commissioner Schiltgen. To approve Resolution <br />979-13, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Variance for Reduced Side and Rear Yard <br />Setbacks; Planning Case No. VR2013-001. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />______________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />B. CU2013-002 Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for an Oversize <br />Garage <br /> Applicant: Allen Hambleton, property owner <br /> Address: 8478 Long Lake Road <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller commented the applicant, Allen Hambleton, was requesting approval <br />of a conditional use permit to construct an oversize detached garage on his property at 8478 <br />Long Lake Road. The applicant wants to build a new 22’ x 56’ detached garage behind the <br />existing detached garage. It was noted any building larger than 952 square feet must get City <br />approval through the conditional use permitting process. <br /> <br />Associate Heller explained City Code limits backyard building coverage to 20% of the yard area <br />and this garage would use approximately 8% of the backyard area. She indicated the total <br />accessory building square feet with the existing garage and the new garage would be 1,783 <br />square feet, which is below the maximum of 1,800 square feet limit. The roof shall match or be <br />similar to the character and style of the roof of the principal structure. Since the house has a very <br />steep roof, the new garage roof pitch should be similar to the existing detached garage. <br /> <br />Associate Heller reviewed the request in further detail and recommended the Commission <br />approve the conditional use permit. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schiltgen questioned what type of driving surface would lead back to the new <br />garage. <br /> <br />Allen Hambleton, 8478 Long Lake Road, indicated he has received estimates for both blacktop <br />and concrete driveways. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson asked if the garage had to be 56’ in length. <br /> <br />Mr. Hambleton explained he was making the request as he had the space on his lot and had many <br />items to store indoors. He stated he could go shorter, but already had a 26’ boat and 24’ trailer <br />that would be placed in the garage. <br />
