Mounds View City Council Apri124, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 12 of the property and the house, and it would not be larger than the existing structures. He explained that this is a fairly small shed in comparison to other requests that have been submitted. Planning Associate Ericson indicated that based upon the Planning Commission's review, the Planning Commission and staff recommend the City Council approve Resolution 5423, which is a resolution approving the conditional use permit request with stipulations that are typical of any oversized shed conditional use permit. He advised that the shed would not be used for any use prohibited in the Zoning District, and no other sheds would be allowed on the property. He added that the existing shed would be removed, the proposed shed would be a permanent structure, and the resolution would be recorded with Ramsey County. Planning Associate Ericson stated this was a public hearing, and staff has notified residents within 350 feet of the subject property. There was no public input.

Requests for sheds approaching 400 square feet are examined in great detail, and the proposed shed would take up approximately 3.3 percent of the backyard. The backyard is quite large, and in itself, would constitute a minimum sized lot in Mounds View. Planning Associate Ericson stated there are a number of large mature evergreen trees on and around the periphery of the lot. He indicated staff performed an inspection at the property and felt that because the shed would be located toward the back of the lot and away from public view, there would be adequate screening by virtue of the pme trees and the distance from other properties.
