City of Gem Lake County of Ramsey State of Minnesota Resolution No. 2024-0021 7. Traffic in and out of the site is generated by the principal use of the property, the Montessori School. The shed itself does not generate traffic, as it would be used to store equipment and items used by the school. This criterion appears to be met. 8. The proposed shed in its as-built location does not appear to have any impact on the safety or health of the public. This criterion appears to be met. 9. Other detached accessory structures are located on nearby properties at setbacks from roads similar to the as-built shed. The as-built shed is also partially screened from County Road E East and Labore Road by existing trees and vegetation. This criterion appears to be met. 10. The shed being within the side yard setback is not expected to have an economic impact on the neighborhood or the city. This criterion appears to be met. 11. The Comprehensive Plan is silent on accessory structures. The zoning ordinance (Ord. No. 131) is meant to carry out the implementation of the Plan. Apart from the setback requirement, the property meets other zoning requirements. FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED that the following condition of approval shall be met: 1. The as-built shed shall adhere to the 33.2-foot setback from the south property line, as shown in the plans reviewed with this request and the plans approved as part of the original building permit issued in April 2024. 2.
