Background
The applicant would like to construct an accessory building in the rear yard of a 46 acre parcel.  They have an existing attached garage that is 1,368 square feet, and they are proposing to add 1,600 square feet with the new pole building.  The total garage/accessory space would be 2,968 square feet.  The Zoning Ordinance requires a conditional use permit for any property in the MUSA and within the FR (Farm Residential) district to acquire a conditional use permit for garage/accessory space that exceeds 1,200 square feet and less then 3,000 square feet.  
 
The accessory building that is being proposed is a metal building with wainscoting around the bottom, on the front of the building.  Prior conditional use permits have required the accessory structures to be compatible with the house, and at the least, the color of the house.  The proposed structure does meet those requirements.  
 
The applicant intends to store equipment used for horses such as a truck, skid loader, tractor, etc. in the structure.  The homeowner has also discussed possible subdivision of the lot in the past. The location of the new storage building and use of the building as shelter for animals (horses) may complicate future subdivision or cause removal of the storage building based on meeting setback provisions from new lot lines.
 
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
