SQUARE-FOOT GARAGE AT 7515 KNOLLWOOD DRIVE;
PLANNING CASE CU2010-003
WHEREAS, property owner Richard Wyatt has applied for a conditional use permit
to construct a 1,440 square foot garage; and,
WHEREAS, the subject property, located at 7515 Knollwood Drive, is zoned R-1,
Single Family Residential, and is legally described as follows:
South % of Lot 28, Spring Lake Park Knolls, Ramsey County, Minnesota
PIN 07-30-23-21-0043
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows garages in excess
of 952 square feet in area with a maximum accessory building area not to exceed 1,800
square feet; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed garage would be 1,440 square feet, thus requiring City
approval of a conditional use permit; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the following documents regarding this
proposal:
a. Zoning Map
b. Aerial Views
c. Statement from Applicant
d. Photographic Documentation
e. Staff Report
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council makes
the following findings of fact related to the conditional use permit request:
1. The proposed oversized 1,440 square foot garage satisfies the dimensional
requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 the Zoning Code.
2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that the
Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential
areas to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and
residential property in general.
3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the design of the garage
and the character and geography of the surrounding area involved.

4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood.
5. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for the proposed
oversized garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View City
Council approves the conditional use permit for the 1,440 square foot garage, with
conditions as follows:
1. The garage shall not be used for commercial purposes, living space or other
uses not allowed within the R-1 Single-Family Residential district or by the
Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was granted; the
conditional use permit shall be considered null and void.
2. The new garage shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform
appearance with the existing house.
3. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall become null and void if the work for
which the CUP was granted is not completed within one year from the date of
approval unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has
been granted by the City Council.
