Staff Report f Planning Commission Resolution 588-99 WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council finds that the dimensional requirements as stated in Chapter I 104 the Zoning Code for this proposal have been met; and, e . . Resolution S348 July 26, 1999 Page 2 WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings that possible advers(: effects have been considered in its recommendation, as required by Section 1125.01 Subd. l.e.: 1. Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance (~rresidential areas so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential property in general. nle Comprehensive Plan designates this property. 8059 Red Oak Dnve. as low-density residential. 111 is proposal does not COf~flict with the Comprehensive Plan. 2,4. The Geographical Area Involved & the Character of the Surrounding Area. /n this area (~f}"f()und~' View, most of the lots are larger than the subject property. Vie homes are generally (~{a similar style architecture and were built around the same time. although the su~ject home is newer and is larger than those in the immediate area. Many of the homes in the immediate area have larger garages. most (~rwhich are detached as in this proposal. A larger garage on the subject property would not appear Ollt of place. 3. 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 subject property. At 1.000 square feet. set back from the street as far 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 existing garage--while two stalls-- is consideredfairly small by today's standards. The applicants both have vehicles as do their children. /n addition. the applicants O)1,'}1 a boat which they would like to have stored within the garage. Clearly the needfbr additional garage space has been demonstrated. WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings regarding the criteria for approval of a 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 will not cause traffic hazards or congestion. 8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be provided. Adding on to a small garage would not create a greater impact on existl11g public facilities, parks, schools or services, on utilities or access roads. nor would If create an II1crease in traffic 0/1 adjacent streets. 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. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. 3. - . . ~ Resolution 5348 July 26, 1999 Page 3 Because the house is set hackfiLrlher than is typical. and because the Rarage is situated behind the house, there ..,vould he suhstantial public screeningfi'om this accessory structure In terms of its relationship with the t>>'o (/((joining properties. the bad.}'ard of the su~iect property is well shielded by privacy fencing and tall trees and hushes on either side and is separated hy distance from the property to the rear. In staff's opinion. all properties are completely screened from the proposed garage addition. 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. 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 conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. 5. 6 Garages and detached accessory outbuildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allowfhr the storage a/vehicles and yard and garden equipment.
