NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council
makes the following findings of fact related to the conditional use permit request:
1. The proposed oversized 1,296 square foot garage satisfies the requirements as
outlined in Chapters 1104 and 1106 the Zoning Code. The Planning
Commission approved a variance allowing the 54 foot width for the garage.
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 building design,
character and geography of the surrounding area involved.
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 FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View City
Council approves 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 shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance
with the existing house.
3. The applicant shall submit garage building plans which must be approved by the
building inspector.
4. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall become null and void if the work for
which the CUP was 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.
Adopted this 13th day of August, 2007. ~
