Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. There were no comments at the public hearing.
Background
The homeowners at the above address wish to construct a new attached garage and a gazebo in their back yard. Since they live in an R-1 (Single Family) zoning district, they can have between 1,000 and 1,200 square feet of garage/accessory space on their property if they obtain a conditional use permit.
The proposed new attached garage would be 1,056 square feet in size. Since gazebos are considered accessory structures, their square footage must be taken into consideration when calculating accessory space; therefore, the gazebo has a proposed square footage of 137 square feet for total garage and accessory space on the lot of 1,187 square feet.
The attached garage will match the existing home and exterior elevations of the gazebo have been provided. The gazebo will be made of wood and shingles and the style will be complementary to the neighborhood.
The applicant wishes to use the larger attached garage for storage of three vehicles, a lawn tractor and various garden tools. It should be noted that no home occupation is allowed to occur within the garage or gazebo.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
