Background
The applicant is requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for 1,189 square feet of garage/accessory space. The applicant currently has an attached garage of 793 square feet and is proposing to construct a detached garage in the rear yard of the property that is 396 square feet. The property is located within the R-1(Single Family) zoning district, which requires a conditional use permit for garage/accessory space that is between 1,000 and 1,200 square feet.
The applicant currently has a detached shed/garage in the rear of property that will be removed so a new larger detached structure can be constructed. The existing detached garage will be removed prior to issuance of a building permit for the new detached garage.
The applicant wishes to store a vehicle in the new garage for the winter months. The new garage will be accessed through a gate in the fence that surrounds the rear yard of the property. The gate is located on the west side of the house.
The proposed garage will be constructed to match the existing home.
