OUTLOT A, SYSCO SECOND ADDITION

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact relating to the Clear Channel Outdoor
application for an Interim Use Permit (IUP) for a billboard on Outlot A, Sysco Second
Addition:
1. The Installation of a billboard on Outlot A would not create an excessive burden
on existing parks, schools, streets and other public facilities and utilities that serve
or are proposed to serve the area.
2. The billboard at the proposed location would not be readily visible from nearby
residentially zoned properties and would not have a detrimental effect on the
development of vacant land in the area.
3. The structure and site will not have an appearance that would adversely effect
adjacent residential properties in that there are no residential properties adjacent to
Outlot A.
4. The requested IUP is reasonably related to the requirement placed upon the
Applicant to relocate four of six biliboards from the former golf course property.
Resolution 864-07

5. The use is consistent with the recently adopted amendments to the Sign Code
Chapter 1008 as effectuated by Ordinance 769.

need for such a use, has determined that the potential adverse effects of the proposed

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, based upon the above findings
of fact, the Mounds View Planning Commission does hereby recommend approval of the
requested Interim Use Permit for a billboard to be erected on Outlot A consistent with the
Zoning Code and Ordinance 769, in accordance with the executed lease agreement, and

RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO ALLOW FOR A 1,296 SQUARE-FOOT GARAGE AND APPROVING A
VARIANCE FOR A 54 FOOT WIDE GARAGE AT 8290 SUNNYSIDE ROAD;
PLANNING CASE NOs. CU2007-004 & VR2007-001
WHEREAS, property owners Tim Clemons and Collette O'Donovan have applied
for a conditional use permit and a variance to construct a 54' wide x 24' deep, 1,296
square foot garage; and,
WHEREAS, the subject property, located at 8290 Sunnyside Road, is zoned R-1,
Single Family residential, and is legally described as follows:
Section 6, Town 30, Range 23, except the west 240 feet. The east 528 feet of
the west 1056 feet of fhe north 90 feet of the south 1620 feet of the NE %(Subject to
Rd) in Section 6, Town 30, Range 23, Ramsey County, Minnesota
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code conditionally allows garages in
excess of 952 square feet in area with a maximum accessory building area not to
exceed 1,800 square feet; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Zoning Code restricts the width of oversized
garages to 35 feet or less; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed expanded garage would be 1,296 square feet, thus
necessitating application of a conditional use permit; and,
WHEREAS, the proposed garage would be 54 feet in width, 19 feet beyond that
which is allowed for an oversized garage, necessitating application of a variance; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the following documents
regarding this proposal:
a. Planning Application
b. Aerial View
c. Zoning Map
d. Photographic documentation
e. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing
regarding the variance and conditional use permit requests on Wednesday, July 25,
2007.
Re�olution £J70-07
CUP & VR 8290 Sunnyside Rd.
Pa�e 2
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning
Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the conditional use permit
request:
1. Other than the width, the proposed oversized 1,296 square foot garage
satisfies the dimensional requirements as outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 of
the Mounds View Zoning Code.
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 and the size of the subject property
which is able to accommodate such a structure.
4. The proposed garage would not depreciate the neighborhood.
5. The applicant has sufficiently demonstrated that a need exists for the
proposed oversized garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View
Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact related to the variance
request:
1. The property is located on Sunnyside Road with the house and garage being
setback further than the neighboring homes. The structures cannot be seen from
the street due to the heavy tree cover on the lot. The proposed garage would
allow the homeowners more indoor storage for their vehicles.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of this Title would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in that most property
owners could expand the garage to the rear, but due to the garage being built
sideways on the lot and being located close to the side property line, the
applicants have limited options.
3 The special circumstances or conditions do not result from the applicants in
that Mr. Clemons and Ms. O'Donovan had no control over how the garage was
placed on the lot before they purchased the property.
4. Granting the variance requested would not confer on the applicant any special
privilege in that most garages are not set sideways on the property.
�2esa(utron 870-07
CUP & VR 87_90 Sunnysrcle Rd.
Page 3
5. The requested 19 foot variance is the minimum amount necessary to alleviate
the applicanYs hardship. Economic conditions do not enter into the need for a
variance in this case.
6. The variance requested would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of
the Code or to other properties in the vicinity. The spirit and intent of the Code is
preserved.
7. Granting the variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent properties, would not increase the congestion of the public streets,
would not increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety and would not
diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View
Planning Commission approves the requested variance for a 54 foot wide garage and
recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the 1,296 square foot garage,
with conditions as follows:
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 garage expansion shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform
appearance with the existing garage and house.
3. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and Variance (VR) shall become null and void
if the work for which the CUP and VR were granted is not completed within one
year from the date of approval unless a petition for extension of time in which to
complete the work has been granted by the Planning Commission.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View Planning Commission
directs staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to approval of the
minutes.

RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR A TWO-FOOT DRIVEWAY
SETBACK AT 2925 COUNTY ROAD H2;
MOUNDS VIEW PLANNING CASE VR2007-002
WHEREAS, the applicant, Cory Mathiowetz, has applied for a variance to allow
for a driveway with a two-foot setback from the property line of his property located at
2925 County Road H2; and,
WHEREAS, 2925 County Road H2 is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential, and
is legally described as follows:
Spring Lake Park Knolls, Ramsey County, Minnesota, Lot 92
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the following
documents regarding this proposal:
1. Planning Application
2. Statement from applicant
3. Proposed Site Plan
4. Zoning Map
5. Aerial View
6. Photographic Documentation
7. Staff Report
WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give
relief to property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements
imposes a hardship thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical
difficulties brought about by unique or extraordinary features of the physical property
that are beyond the property owner's control; and,
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly-noticed public hearing
regarding this request on September 19, 2007; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of
which all must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission
finds that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code are satisfied and finds there to be sufficient hardship with regard to the
property located at 2925 County Road H2, and makes the following findings of fact
related to its decision:
1�es. (374-07
P�ge 2
1. Circumstances apply to this property in that the house is located close to the east
property line, a driveway was located within two feet of the property line, and the
curb cut was placed on the property line, prior to the applicant purchasing the
property.
2. The literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would limit the
applicanYs ability to have a normal one car wide driveway, or a driveway that
does not line up correctly with the existing curb cut.
3. The applicant did not cause the placement of the house on the lot, the location of
the driveway, or the location of the curb cut, and intends only to improve the
substandard dirt surface.
4. Granting this variance would not confer upon the applicant a special privilege in
that the house placement, driveway and curb cut locations are pre-existing
conditions.
5. The two (2) foot variance is the minimum variance required to alleviate the
applicanYs hardship.
6. Granting a variance to allow for a driveway with a two foot setback would not be
detrimental to the purpose of the Zoning Code in that the driveway is a pre-
existing condition and is causing no adverse impacts.
7. Granting the variance would not impair an adequate supply of light or air to the
adjoining property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission, based upon the above findings, approves the variance request of Cory
Mathiowetz, 2925 County Road H2, to allow for a driveway with a two-foot setback from
the east property line.
Adopted this 19th day of September, 2007.

WHEREAS, the applicant, The Tycon Companies, has applied for a variance for

WHEREAS, 2370 County Road I and 7521-7661 Greenfield Avenue are zoned

WHEREAS, the purpose of the variance provision in the Zoning Code is to give
relief to property owners when the strict enforcement of the zoning code requirements
imposes a hardship thereby restricting the improvement of property due to practical
difficulties brought about by unique or extraordinary features of the physical property
that are beyond the property owner's control; and,
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held Wednesday, December 19, 2007, with
regard to this variance request; and,
WHEREAS, according to Section 1125.02, Subdivision 2 of the Mounds View
Municipal Code, the Planning Commission is to review a standard set of criteria, of
which all must be satisfied, in order to grant a variance to the Zoning Code.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission hereby makes the following findings of fact related to this request:
The property is zoned R-4, High Density Residential.
2. The extraordinary circumstances surrounding this property are that
existing garages are poorly configured and are somewhat unsafe for
residents.
3. Denying the request may limit the property owner's ability to improve the
safety and functionality of the property.
4. The special conditions or circumstances necessitating the variance
request do not result from the actions of the applicant.
5. Granting the variance would not confer upon the property owner a special
privilege in that every property owner has the right to apply for a variance
to improve the function and viability of their property.
6. Permitting the property to have 100 covered parking spaces is the
minimum variance, as it allows for an adequate number of garages based
on past garage rental statistics and allows them to create more uncovered
parking than currently provided.
7. Granting a variance to reduce the number of covered parking spaces
would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Code. There
have been no objections raised up to this point from any of the adjoining
property owners.
8. The proposed variance would not impair an adequate supply of light and
air to adjacent property or substantially increase the congestion of the
public streets or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety
or substantially diminish or impair property values within the
neighborhood.
