RESOLUTION RE-APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN
OVER-SIZED GARAGE AT 2832 WOODALE DRIVE;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE NO. 0000-004
WHEREAS, Thomas Stampfle has requested re-approval of an expired Conditional
Use Permit (CUP) to construct a 1,248 square-foot garage in the side yard of his property
located at 2832 Woodale Drive, property zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and legally
described as follows:
Lot 92, Knollwood Park
Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, The Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows garages in excess
of 952 square feet in area with a maximum accessory building area not to exceed 1,800
square feet; and,
i WHEREAS, the Mounds View City Council has reviewed the following documents
regarding this proposal:
a. Zoning Map
b. Existing Site Plan
c. Proposed Site Plan
d. Photographic Documentation
e. Letter from Applicant, dated 4/6/00
f. Staff Report
g. Council Resolution 5441
h. Planning Commission 829-06
WHEREAS, the applicant had received approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
from the City on May 22, 2000 however the CUP expired due to non-use; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant is now prepared to move forward with the construction and
seeks re-approval of the CUP.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View City Council makes the
following findings of fact related to the reapproval request:
1. The proposal satisfies the dimensional requirements as outlined in Chapters
1104 and 1106 of the Zoning Code.
• 2. The request is consistent with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan in that 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.

3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the character and
geography of the surrounding area involved in that the lot is rather large and
expanded garages are commonplace residential structural improvements which
help keep properties neat and orderly.
4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood in that the
proposed garage would replace an older, structurally unsound garage with a
sagging roof.
5. The proposed oversized garage would be adequately screened by a privacy
fence, mature trees and a garage on the adjacent property.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View City
Council re-approves the conditional use permit with the following stipulations:
1. 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 be considered null
and void.
2. The garage shall be designed and maintained to be aesthetically pleasing and
complementary to the existing dwelling.
3. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall become null and void if the work for
which the CUP was granted is not completed within one year from the date of
approval unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has
been granted by the City Council.
Adopted this 8th day of May, 2006.
