A <br />Page 4 <br />July 27, 1998 <br />Mounds View City Council <br />permit is pulled for a new garage or garage expansion. Since its first reading the ordinance has <br />been changed as follows: <br />Page 4, Subd. 2, Section 3, cross out the word "improved with a permanent surfacing <br />material" and replace that text with "construct with a permanent improved surface". This <br />change will alleviate the ambiguity of the term "permanent surfacing material." <br />2. Page 2, Subd. 3, c (1), cross out the words "to mean asphalt ,concrete, or brick." <br />Ericson briefly reviewed the ordinance language as follows for the Council and the viewing <br />public: <br />Any new or reconstructed driveway shall be improved with a permanent surface; <br />concrete, brick, or asphalt. Gravel or dirt driveways will not be allowed. <br />2. No building permit would be issued for the construction of a dwelling garage, garage <br />. expansion unless the driveway surfacing for the project is improved. <br />3. The square footage of the garage shall not exceed the foundation area of the house <br />(except by conditional use permit.) <br />4. The combined square footage for accessory buildings in the rear yard would be reduced <br />from 25 percent to 20 percent. <br />5. The maximum garage area without a conditional use permit has been increased from 864 <br />square feet to 952 square feet. <br />6. The combined square footage for all accessory buildings on one lot shall not exceed 1400 <br />square feet. <br />7. A shed is allowable even if the garage does exceed 1000 square feet. <br />8. As many garage stalls as there are units are now allowable in the R-3 and R-4 districts. <br />9. Commercial and industrial parking stall dimensions would be reduced from 9'x20' to <br />9'X18'. <br />10. Gravel driveways have been eliminated from the City Code. All references to temporary <br />. surfaces will be removed to eliminate confusion over the intent of what a temporary <br />surface is. <br />
