RESOLUTION NO. 1145-22
CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION RECOMMENDING APPROVAL OF A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
TO ALLOW AN ACCESSORY BUILDING EXCEEDING 952 SQUARE FEET IN AREA,
LOCATED AT 7975 LONG LAKE ROAD
(PLANNING CASE CU2021-003)
WHEREAS, the applicants; LaShawn Albert -Hart, and Gary Albert plan to build a 28' X
36' (1,008 sq ft) detached garage on property located at 7975 Long Lake Road, legally described
as:
PID:05-30-23-32-0011
Lot 7 of Woodlawn Terrace
WHEREAS, Mounds View City Code § 160.088(E) states that no accessory building in
an R-1 District shall exceed 952 sq ft in area, except by Conditional Use Permit; and,
WHEREAS, the property is zoned R-1 Single -Family Residential, and guided Single -
Family Detached in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed garage is subject to approval
of a Conditional Use Permit; and,
WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission has reviewed the Staff Report,
submitted plans, and has compared the request to City Code § 160.452(B) (Criteria for Granting
Conditional Use Permits), and in consideration of public testimony, makes the following
Findings of Fact (italics):
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 use will not increase the burden on public facilities.
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 property is residentially zoned, and should have no negative impact to
property values.

The structure and site shall have an appearance that will not have an adverse effect upon
adjacent residential properties;
Finding: The detached garage will have a 10:12 roof pitch, similar to the home's
12:12 roof pitch. The garage should have no adverse effect upon adjacent
properties.
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 need for the garage has been demonstrated by the applicant.
5. The use is consistent with the purposes of this chapter and the purposes of the zoning
district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use;
Finding: The oversized garage is permitted with a Conditional Use Permit. The
CUP allows for the City to require conditions, limiting the impact the use
may have on the character of the neighborhood.
6. The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the city;
Finding: The use is not addressed within the Comprehensive Plan.
7. The use will not cause traffic hazards or congestion; and
Finding: The use will have no additional traffic impact.
8. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage and necessary facilities have been or will be
provided.
Finding: Pubic infrastructure is adequate for the proposed garage.
WHEARAS, the City Council will hold a Public Hearing on Monday, February 14,
2022. A Public Hearing notice was published in the Shoreview Press on January 18, 2022, and
mailed to property owners within 350' of the subject property; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning
Commission recommends approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Accessory Building
exceeding 952 sq ft in area, subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant shall apply for a Building Permit to construct the Accessory Building
within one year of the date of approval of the Conditional Use Permit, or this approval
shall become void, consistent with Mounds View City Code §160.452(F) (Lapse of
conditional use permit by non-use).

width (greater than 35') are contingent upon approval of a Variance by the Planning
Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Mounds View
Planning Commission directs Staff to forward this resolution to the City Council prior to
approval of the minutes.
