Mounds View Planning Commission October 16, 2013 <br />Regular Meeting Page 3 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />B. CU2013-005 Conditional Use Permit for an Oversize Garage <br /> Applicant: Ryan Carlisle & Sarah Lange <br /> Address: 8280 Eastwood Road <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller indicated the applicants, property owner Sarah Lange and Ryan <br />Carlisle, are requesting approval of a conditional use permit to construct an oversize attached <br />garage on their property at 8280 Eastwood Road. The applicants want to demolish the existing <br />22’ x 21’-8” (476 square feet) garage and build a new 22’ x 50’ attached garage (1,100 square <br />feet). <br /> <br />Associate Heller explained the applicants have submitted plans for a garage larger than what the <br />City Code allows without a planning action. The City limits the size of accessory buildings, <br />whether attached or detached from the house, to a maximum of 952 square feet. Any building <br />larger than 952 square feet must get City approval of a conditional use permit. The applicants <br />indicated that they want the extra space to store a boat and classic cars, among other things. <br /> <br />Associate Heller reviewed the conditional use permit considerations with the Planning <br />Commission in detail. Staff recommended the Commission approve the CUP as requested. <br /> <br />Commissioner Schiltgen questioned why the applicant was requesting an expanded garage. <br /> <br />Ryan Carlisle, 8280 Eastwood Road, explained the current garage was added after the home was <br />built and is in poor condition. The roofline is very low so some vehicles don’t fit inside now. <br />He commented the new garage would be raised to match the house’s roofline. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson indicated the tree in the rear yard would screen the garage from the neighbors. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Cramblit/Commissioner Schiltgen. To approve Resolution <br />992-13, a Resolution Approving a Conditional Use Permit for an Oversized Garage at 8280 <br />Eastwood Road; Planning Case No. CU2013-005. <br /> <br /> Ayes – 6 Nays – 0 Motion carried. <br />_____________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br />6. Other Planning Activity <br /> <br />A. Review Proposed Sign Code Amendments <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller stated the Commission has started focusing on creating a PUD <br />Overlay District for the Highway 10 corridor. This has involved discussions on the general <br />development to enhance the visual appeal of the corridor. One idea has been to change the style <br />and height allowances of the signage in the corridor to monument style sings, and to reduce the <br />15 foot setback amount. <br />
