Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. A neighbor had some questions about the location of the garage, the proposed use and when construction would start.
Background
The applicant would like to construct an accessory building in the rear yard of a 2.78 acre parcel. They have an existing attached garage that is approximately 1,370 square feet, and they are proposing to add 1,630 square feet with the new detached garage. The total garage/accessory space would be 3,000 square feet. The Zoning Ordinance requires any property to acquire a conditional use permit for garage/accessory space that exceeds 1,200 square feet.
The accessory building that is being proposed is a building on a poured concrete slab with lap siding and a metal roof. 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 such as lawn and garden equipment, boat, etc. in the structure.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
