Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. One written comment was received in support of the request.
Background
The applicant would like to construct a detached accessory building in the side yard of a 0.69 acre parcel in an R-1 zone. The detached garage (enclosed) would be 26' x 30', with a 26' x 16' carport attached to the front of the garage. The total area of the accessory building space is 1,196 square feet. A conditional use permit is required to build over 1,000 square feet of garage space.
The reason for the construction is because the former detached garage, which was located in the same location as the proposed garage, collapsed due to snow and was a total loss. The new garage will be located on the existing concrete slab and the concrete drive leading up to the garage will also remain.
The applicant intends to store equipment such as vehicles, lawn tractor, snowmobile, ATV, and general yard tools in the structure.
The applicant is in the process of purchasing a small amount of land from his neighbor to the south in order to meet the setback requirement on the southern property line. In the instance that the applicant is not able to purchase the property to the south prior to a building permit being issued, the proposed structure (including carport) will need to meet the required 5 foot side yard setback from the existing property line.
