The Character of the Surrounding Area In this area ~r Mound\' Vieu', most of the lots are more narrow thall the su~ject property, though all are just as deep. The homes are gellerally (~r a similar style architecture alld ~vere huilt around the same time. A larger garage on the su~iect property would 1I0t appear out ~f place, as there is adequate screening. a substantial sized lot alld larger home 011 the property. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. Adding to the existing garage will have WI immediate positive impact on the value of the su~iect property. At 1,040 square feet, set hackfrom the street a~Iar as it is, this garage additioll probably would 1I0t depreciate the surroullding area ill any wco-'. 5. The demonstrated need for such a use.

Adding on to the garage would not create a greater impact Oil existing publicfacilities, parks, schools or services, 011 utilities or access road\', nor would it create all increase in trqffic on 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. 3. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties. Because the house is set hack further thall is typical, alld hecause the additionlt'ould he situated hehilld the garage, there l-I'ould he suhstantial public screenillgfrom 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.
