WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed garage would
not depreciate the neighborhood in that the proposed garage would replace an older, structurally
unsound garage with a sagging roof; and,

demonstrated that a need exists for the proposed oversized garage; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the proposed oversized
garage would be more than adequately screened by a privacy fence, mature trees and an adjacent
garage.
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.

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.

4. The garage shall be designed and maintained to be aesthetically pleasing and complementary
to the existing dwelling.
