Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
Dylan Goad is requesting a conditional use permit that will allow him to have a total of 1,492 square feet of garage/accessory space in an FR (Farm Residential) Zoning District. As you know, the FR zoning district allows residents within the MUSA to have between 1,200 square feet and 3,000 square feet of garage space with a conditional use permit.
Mr. Goad would like to use the additional garage space for his classic car hobby. He likes to restore the cars for personal use and would use the extra space as such. There is currently a 484 square foot garage on the property along with a 72 square foot small shed. Mr. Goad is proposing to construct an addition to the existing garage of 936 square feet. The addition would be attached to the existing garage and located on the east side of the building. After the addition is constructed the total garage/accessory space on the property would be 1,492 square feet. The garage addition would match the existing home and garage.
The driveway to the existing garage is already paved but there appears to be a large garage door located on the north side of the new addition. If the applicant uses this door frequently enough to disturb the turf in this area, paving an access to this door will be necessary via Class V or other hard surface material.
There are numerous other vehicles and miscellaneous storage items on site at this time. Once the garage addition is constructed, it is expected that these vehicles and items will be stored inside on site.
There are no current code violations on this property.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
