Area "Structure Footprint" Diagram 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 recommendation, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. I.e.: I. Relationship ......ith 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 lUlits and residential property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 2185 Pinewood Drive, low-density residential. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. . . . Resolution 5263 September 14, 1998 Page 2 2. The Geographical Area Involved. 4. 171e Character o/the ,l.,'urrollnding Area The subject parcel is of the same size or larger than most of the lots within a two bloek radius. The building footprint diagram clearly shows that in this area of the City, there already appears to be garages as large as what is proposed at 2185 Pinewood Drive, some of which larger than their principal structures, again as would be the case at 2185 Pmewood Drive. 3. Whether such use u'illlend to or aClua/(v ,Ie/Jreciale the area in "".'hich it is IJro/Jo.\'ed There is no reason to believe that a 1,008 square-foot garage would negatively impact the property values of the subject property or those adjaccnt to it. The case could be made that with ample storage space within the garage, there would be fewer vehicles parked outside and less clutter about the propcrty. This type oftransfonnation could result in a positive effect to thc neighboring properties. 5. 171e demonstrated needj(Jr such a use. The applicant has multiple vehicles and owns and operates a race car as a hobby, and has a car hauler upon which to transport the vehicle. The car hauler does not currcntly fit into the existing garage, and thus is kept outside in full view oCthe neighborhood and vehicles passing by on COLUIty Road I Constructing the garage as proposed would allow the car hauler and the race car to be stored inside. 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.: (l) The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and other public 1:1cilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve thc area. (7) The use ,,'ill not cause traffic hazards or congestion. (8) Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities havc been or will be provided. The construction of an oversized garage will not create a greater impact on existing public facilities or serviees. on utilities or access roads, nor will it create an increase in traffic on adjacent streets. The increase in nmoff from the larger structure is not signi ficant and will not affcct the drainage system. (2) The use \vill be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from adjacent residentially' zoned or used land so that existing homcs will not be depreciated in value and there "ill be no deterrence to development of vacant land. (3) The structure and site shall hme an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. The placement of thc garage would be such that the bulk of the structure would be hidden from street view and shielded by mature trees in front and privacy fences on either side. This will provide adequate screening, and will preservc the residential character of the ncighborhood. . . . Resolution 5263 September 14, 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. (()) The use is not in connict 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 allo\\' for the property owner to store vehicles, a car hauler and a race car in the garage instead of out in the open. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves the conditional use permit to allow a 1,008 square-foot garage at 2185 Pinewood Drive with the following stipulations i . 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 uniform building appearance with the 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. The driveway leading to the garage shall be improved with a permanent surface material of either concrete or asphalt which shall be accomplished in conjunction with the garage construction or within three months of its completion. 6. Upon the completion of the garage, exterior storage of materials and other items as outlined in Section 607.03 of the Mounds View Nuisance Code shall cease to exist. 7 All vehicles parked at the property shall be parked either upon the driveway's improved surface or within the garage. At not time shall a vehicle be allowed to park upon the grass or off of the improved surface. Any violations of this shall result in the issuance of Ramsey County Court Citations. 8 The applicant shall install a section of privacy fence between the garage and the west property line, tying into the existing privacy fence installed by the adjacent property owner. 9. The applicant shall enter into a development agreement with the City. . . . Resolution 5263 September 14. 199R Page 4 Adopted this 14th day of September, 1998.
