. 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, functionally
obsolete garage; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the applicant has sufficiently
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 adequately screened by privacy fencing and in its sideways orientation to the
street.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following stipulations:
1. 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 garage shall not be used for commercial purposes, living space or other uses not
allowed within the R-I Single-Family Residential district 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.
.
..,
.J.
Given that the garage is proposed to be attached to the home, the garage shall be designed
and maintained as a seamless and cohesive addition, aesthetically pleasing and
complementary to the existing dwelling.
4. The existing sheds shall be removed in conjunction with the garage construction.
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.
