CONSTRUCTION, INC ADDN, RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA WHEREAS, The Mounds View Zoning Code allows, with a conditional use permit, up to 1,264 square feet of garage/accessory building on one lot; and WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council has reviewed the following documents regarding this proposal: a. Planning Application b. Zoning Map c. Site Plan d. Planning Commission Resolution 541-98 WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council finds that the dimensional requirements in Chapter 1104 the Zoning Code for this proposal have been met; and, WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings that possible adverse effects have been considered in its decision, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. I.e.: 1. Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 7858 Long Lake Road, low-density residential. This proposal does not contlict with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. 4. The Geographical Area Involved The Character of the Surrounding Area . . . Resolution 5223 Lammi CUP April 27, 1998 Page 2 The majority of the lots in this area are larger than the subject property although many of the lots across Long Lake Road are smaller parcels. While the proposed garage is larger than what is typical for this area, the placement of the garage addition behind the home hides it from Long Lake Road. The garage would be visible only to the three adjoining properties. Staffhas spoken to two of the three neighboring property owners, who do not foresee a problem with the addition. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. This addition will serve to increase the subject property's value without negatively impacting the values of the neighboring properties. 5. The demonstrated need for such a use. The applicant has indicated that they own antique and classic vehicles that are currently parked in different locations across the metro area. With the applicant's everyday-use vehicles there is no room in the garage or driveway for the other vehicles owned by the applicant. The size requested is the minimum needed to satisfy the applicant's needs. WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings regarding the criteria for approval ofa conditional use permit, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. 3.b.: (1) 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 will 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 sufficiently 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 will be no deterrence to development of vacant land. (3) The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. The placement of the garage addition so that the structure is hidden from street view will provide adequate screening, and will preserve the residential character of the neighborhood. The garage addition, will however, be in full view of the three adjoining properties. . . . Resolution 5223 Lammi CUP April 27, 1998 Page 3 (4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use. (5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. (6) The use is not 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 owner to store his collectable vehicles upon his own property. WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission, at their last meeting on April 15, 1998, approved Resolution 541-98 recommending approval of the oversized garage at 7858 Long Lake Road to the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves the conditional use permit for 7858 Long Lake Road, with the following stipulations: 1. The conditional use permit shall be recorded with Ramsey County within 60 days of City Council approval, and a receipt of such recording shall be provided to the City of Mounds View. 2. The garage shall be designed and maintained to provide a seamless and uniform building appearance with the existing garage and house. 3. The garage shall not be used for living space or other uses not allowed by the district in which it is located or by the Zoning Code. Should the use change for which the permit was granted, the conditional use permit shall become null and void. 4. No other sheds or accessory buildings shall be allowed on this lot. 5. There shall be no vehicle access door on the west elevation of the addition. Vehicle ingress/egress shall only be possible through the existing garage. 6. The applicant shall enter into a development agreement with the City to ensure a high quality of workmanship and timely completion of the development. Adopted this 27 day of April, 1998.
