Meeting Conclusion Item No: ___05A Meeting Date: Aug 1, 2018 Type of Business: Planning Case CU2018-001 City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View Planning Commission From: Jon Sevald, City Planner/Supervisor Item Title/Subject: Resolution 1085-18, Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Accessory Building exceeding 952 sq ft, located at 2210 Bronson Dr. Introduction The applicant, Doug Watson, requests to build an addition onto a detached garage, located at 2210 Bronson Dr. A Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for a garage to exceed 952 sq ft (1,536 sq ft is proposed). Analysis The property is zoned R-1 Single-Family Residential, and includes a single-family home, detached garage, and shed. Existing Proposed Detached garage 576 sq ft 1,536 sq ft Detached shed 240 sq ft 240 sq ft TOTAL 816 sq ft 1,776 sq ft The City Code allows up to three accessory buildings, totaling 1,800 sq ft.1 The garage addition will be set back 33’ from the side property line (5’ is the minimum). The garage addition will have a garage door facing the side yard. It will not be connected to the driveway, and is not required to, unless used “regularly”.2 The garage addition will be used for storage of recreational vehicles and tools. Conditional Use Permits may be approved by the City Council, after the Planning Commission has considered possible adverse effects 3, including: 1. Relationship to Municipal Comprehensive Plan. The property is guided “Single Family Detached” in the Comprehensive Plan (2010). The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address oversized accessory buildings. 1 City Code, Section 1106.03, Subd 1(a) (Accessory Buildings) 2 City Code, Section 1121.09, Subd 7(a) (Surfacing) 3 City Code, Section 1125.01, Subd 1(c) (Adverse Effects) Item 05A Page 2 2. The geographical area involved. The proposed addition will be behind the existing detached accessory building. 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. It is not anticipated that the accessory building will have any effect on area property values. 4. The character of the surrounding area. The accessory building will be set back 33’ from the east side yard property line. The adjacent property (2200 Bronson Dr) includes a detached accessory building 864 square feet in size, and is the nearest structure to the proposed accessory building addition (45’ distance, building to building). 5. The demonstrated need for such use. The applicant has demonstrated a need for an allowable use (e.g. accessory building). Summary Doug Watson is requesting approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an oversized garage, 1,536 sq ft. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Recommendation The Planning Commission is requested to consider the following options: 1. Resolution 1085-18, recommending approval the Conditional Use Permit. 2. The Planning Commission may choose to recommend denial of Resolution 1085-18. If the Commission chooses this option, Staff would need to be directed to draft a resolution of denial with findings of fact appropriate to support the denial. 3. Table the request. If additional information is needed before a decision can be rendered or if more discussion is needed, the Commission can simply move to table the request until such information has been provided. Because of the 60-day requirement (Deadline: Sep 27, 2018) the Commission would need to act upon the request as soon as reasonably possible to avoid an inadvertent approval.
