2. 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.
3. The proposed garage would not be out of place given the character and
geography of the surrounding area involved.
4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood.

proposed oversized garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning

use change for which the permit was granted; the conditional use permit shall be
considered null and void.

staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the minutes.
Adopted this 17th day of August, 2005.
