1. The oversized attached garage 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.

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.
3. The oversized garage and site shall have an appearance that will not have an
adverse effect upon adjacent residential properties.
4. The oversized garage, in the opinion of the Planning Commission, is reasonably
related to the overall needs of the City and to the existing land use.
5. The oversized garage 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.
6. The oversized garage is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
7. The oversized garage will not cause traffic hazards or congestion.
8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or
will be provided.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mounds View

and Terry Brown, subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall obtain a building permit for the garage addition, and shall
construct the garage according to Building Code, and consistent with plans dated
Sept 20, 2016.

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.
