NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning Commission does
hereby recommend that the criteria as identified in Section 1125.01, Subd 3(b) are satisfied and makes the
following Findings of Fact related to its decision:
1. The use will not create an excessive burden on existing parks, schools, streets and
other public facilities and utilities which serve or are proposed to serve the area.
Finding: The accessory building will have no additional burden onto public
services.
2. The use will be sufficiently compatible or separated by distance or screening from
adjacent residentially zoned or used land so that existing homes will not be
depreciated in value and there will be no deterrence to development of vacant
land.
Finding: The accessory building will be set back from the side yard 33’,
which exceeds the minimum 5’ setback. It is not anticipated that
the accessory building will have any effect on area property values.
3. The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse
effect upon adjacent residential properties.
Finding: The addition onto the accessory building will have the same roof
pitch and siding as that of the existing accessory building, will
complement the home.
4. The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall
needs of the City and to the existing land use.
Finding: The accessory building to be used for personal storage, is a
reasonable use within the R-1 zoning district.
5. The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of
the zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use.
Finding: The use is consistent with the Zoning Code, and allowable
accessory uses within the R-1 zoning district.
6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Finding: The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan:

7. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
Finding: The use will not generate any additional traffic.
8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or
will be provided.
Finding: Adequate utilities and drainage exists.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Mounds View Planning
Commission, based upon the above findings, recommends approval of a Conditional Use Permit
for an accessory building exceeding 952 square feet, as requested by Doug Watson, for property
at 2210 Bronson Dr., subject to the following conditions:
The applicant shall construct the addition onto the accessory building, consistent
with the site plan and elevation drawings date stamped July 27, 2018, and shall
