Res. 731-03
Page 2
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission finds that the applicant has
sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for the proposed oversized garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following
stipulations:
1. The garage shall not be used for commercial purposes, living space or other
uses not allowed within the R-1 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.
2. The building shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance
with the dwelling unit.
3. The height of the garage shall be limited to 15 feet, as measured from the floor to
the mid-point of the trusses.
4. Because the proposed garage would cover twenty percent of the rear yard, no
other accessory buildings shall be allowed on the property.
5. The property owner shall ensure that overhead powerlines maintain proper
clearance (min 3') above the new 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 18th day of June, 2003.
