Mounds View Planning Commission July 17, 2019 <br />Regular Meeting Page 2 <br />________________________________________________________________________ <br /> <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald stated the applicant is proposing to build a second <br />garage to be located in the east side yard, and is requesting a Variance to allow the existing <br />driveway (second driveway) to remain, whereas the City Code limits single-family homes to one <br />driveway. A Public Hearing Notice was published in the July 3, 2019 edition of the New <br />Brighton-Mounds View Bulletin, and mailed to property owners within 350’ of the subject <br />property. Staff provided further comment on the request, recommending that the Planning <br />Commission hold a public hearing and consider the Variance. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:04 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn asked why the second garage was being requested. She questioned if the <br />applicant could build a garage larger than the home. <br /> <br />Jason Lanz, 2809 Bronson Drive, explained he has four vehicles and he would like to have more <br />space for his vehicles, as well as having additional storage space. He reported his Mother in-law <br />moved into his home and he would like to keep a parking space for her directly adjacent to the <br />home. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Sevald explained residents were allowed to have up to three <br />accessory structures on their property and the total square footage could not exceed 1800 square <br />feet, noting no single accessory structure could exceed 952 square feet. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn inquired how tall the garage would be. Mr. Lanz reported the garage <br />would be just under 18 feet. <br /> <br />Commiss ioner Monn asked if the garage exterior would match the home. Mr. Lanz stated this <br />was the case noting twin dormers would be added to the garage to match the house. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn questioned if the trees in the side yard would be impacted. Mr. Lanz <br />explained the driveway would be placed in between the two oak trees. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson requested further information on the raised pad area. Mr. Lanz stated this <br />area used to be an underground pool and was now being used for storage of snowmobiels. He <br />explained he was looking forward to installing the proposed garage as it would allow him to have <br />more space in his backyard. <br /> <br />Commissioner Monn inquired if the garage would be connected to the house. Mr. Lanz reported <br />the garage would not be connected. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rundle explained he did not object to the second driveway request noting the <br />applicant had a lot of space in his yard for a second garage. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nelson stated he understood the reasons behind wanting a second garage. <br />However, he questioned if an additional garage could be added without the variance request.
