ROAD; MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE NO. CUOO-003
WHEREAS, Juanita Snetsinger and Shelley Hill have applied for a conditional use permit
to construct a 400 square-foot shed in the back yard of their property located at 8038 Long Lake
Road, property zoned R-I, Single Family Residential, and legally described as follows:

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents regarding
this proposal:

e. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposal satisfies the
dimensional requirements as outlined in Chapters I] 04 and ] ] 06 the Zoning Code; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that 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; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed shed would not
be out of place given the character and geography of the surrounding area involved in that the lot is
rather large and sheds are commonplace residential structural improvements which help keep
properties neat and orderly; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed shed would not
depreciate the neighborhood in that the oversized shed would allow the applicant to store items inside
which might otherwise be left outside and would guard against a cluttered exterior appearance; and,

Resolution 616-00
April 5,2000
Page 2
WHEREAS, Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the applicant has sufficiently
demonstrated that a need exists for the proposed oversized shed; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed oversized
shed would be sufficiently screened and separated by distance from adjacent residentially-zoned
properties in that the presence of mature evergreen trees and size of the back yard help screen it
from general public view.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations:
I. The applicant shall arrange to record the City Council resolution approving the conditional
use permit with Ramsey County and provide proof of such recordation to the City within
sixty days of Council approval or this permit shall be considered null and void,
2. The shed 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.
3. No other sheds or accessory buildings shall be allowed on the property. The two existing
sheds may remain on the lot until thirty days beyond the date by which the proposed shed is
completed, at which time they shall be removed.
4.
The shed shall be a permanent structure and shall be designed and maintained to be
aesthetically pleasing and complementary to the existing dwelling and garage.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission directs staff
to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 5th day of April.
