RESOLUTION NO. 5366 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STA TE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN 1,040 SQUARE-FOOT, OVER-SIZED GARAGE AT 8011 SUNNYSIDE ROAD; MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE NO. 569-99 Whereas, Donald Mackeben has applied for a conditional use permit to allow for a 1,040 square-foot garage on property located at 8011 Sunnyside Road, zoned R-l, Single Family Residential, legally described as follows: Lot 92, Spring Lake Park Hilll'iew, Ramsey County, State of Minne!wta WHEREAS, there is currently a 720 square-foot garage on this lot; and, WHEREAS, the applicant will be replacing the existing garage structure with a new garage of the same size in the same location; and, WHEREAS, The Mounds View Zoning Code allows. with a conditional use permit, up to 1,400 square feet of garage/accessory building space 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. Location Map e. Staff Report f Planning Commission Resolution 594-99 . . 3. . Resolution 5366 September 27,1999 Page 2 WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council finds that the dimensional requirements as stated 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.: 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, 8011 Sunnyside Road, as low-density reside1llial. This proposal does /lot conflict with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The Geographical Area Involved. 4. The Character of the Surrounding Area In this area of Mounds View, most of the lots are more narrow than the subject property, though all arejust as deep. The homes are generally of a similar style architecture and were built around the same time. A larger garage on the su~iect property would not appear out of place, as there is adequate screening, a substantial sized lot and larger home on the property. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Adding to the existing garage will have an immediate positive impact on the value of the su~iect property. At 1,0./0 square feet, set backfrom the street asfar as it is, this garage addition probably would not depreciate the surrounding area in any way. 5. The demonstrated need for such a use. The applicant has stated that he would like to use this area for hobbies and a work shop. 1n creating this space, there would be ample room to do crafts or woodworking, instead of taking up ~pace in the existing garage or in the basement. 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. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. 7. 8. Adding on to the garage would not create a greater impact on existing public facilities, parks, schools or services, on utilities or access roads, nor would it create an increase ill traffic on adjacent streets. Resolution 5366 September 27, 1999 Page 3 . 2. 3. 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. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. Because the house is set back further than is typical, and because the addition would be situated behind the garage, there would be substallfial public screening from this accessory structure. 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 and detached access01Y outbuildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for the storage of vehicles and yard and garden equipment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves a conditional use permit for a 1,040 square-foot garage 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 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. 3. The garage addition shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform building appearance with the existing garage. 4. All vehicles parked at the property shall be parked either upon the driveway's improved surface or within the garage. At no time shall a vehicle be allowed to park upon the grass or off of the improved surface. ATTEST 'l ..-/ ~/ .
