property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 7765 Spring Lake
Road, as low-density residential. The proposal to build a garage of this size does not
conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The Geographical Area Involved.
4. The Character of the Surrounding Area
The majority of the lots in this area are larger than the subject property although the lots
behind the subject property fronting Knollwood Drive are much smaller. While the
proposed garage is larger than what is typical for this area, the placement of the garage
behind the home hides the bulk of it from Spring Lake Road. It will, however, be visible
from the properties to the east and south
3. \-Vhether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed.
The applicant will be removing an existing accessory building and replacing it with a large,
new garage which would be a benefit to the area in the sense that it is an improvement to
the property.
5. The Demonstrated Need for Such a Use.
Due to the conversion of the fonner garage into living space, the applicant no longer has a
garage. The proposed three-car garage will meet the Barragans' vehicle and storage needs.
..
WHEREAS, the City Council makes the following findings regarding the criteria for
approval ofa conditional use permit, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. 3.b.:
(I) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public
facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
(7) The use \vill not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
(8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
The construction of an oversized garage will not create a greater impact on existing public
facilities or services, on utilities or access roads, nor will it create an increase in traffic on
adjacent streets. The increase in runoff from the larger structure is not significant and will
not affect the drainage system.
(2)
The use will be sulJlciently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent
residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be depreciated in value and
there \vill be no deterrence to development of vacant land.
The structure and site shall kl\e an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon

adj acent residential propelties
The placement of the garage so that the bulk of the structure is hidden from street view will
provide adequate screening, and \vill preserve the residential character of the neighborhood.
The garage will be screened j-('om the neighboring property to the north by a privacy fence
and a change of elevation The properties to the east and south, however, would have no
such screening.
(4) The use, in the opinion o[the City Council, is rcasonably rclated to the overall nceds of the
City and to the existing land use.
(5) The use is consistellt with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposcs ofthc zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
(6) The use is Ilot in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Garages are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for storage of vehicles and other
equipment. Having this garage will allow for the property to be kept in better order.

consistent with community goals.

The oversized garage \vill be 1,180 square-foot, and there will be no other outbuildings on
the property. The \\idtil orthe garage \vill be 32 feet with access for three vehicles. The
