Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. Public comment was from one resident concerned with total amount of storage on site and noise generated on the site.
Background
In the R-1 (Single Family) zoning district, a CUP is required for garages larger than 1,000 square feet and up to 1,200 square feet. Currently the applicant has a 572 square foot attached garage and wishes to construct a detached garage in the side yard of their property measuring 624 square feet. Total proposed garage space would be 1,196 square feet.
The side, front, and rear yard setback requirements will be met according to the survey and site plan submitted.
The applicant wishes to store cars in the proposed garage. Colors and materials will match the house. There will be one service door on the south side of the proposed garage.
Since Flanders Street is a collector route on the City's Municipal State Aid System, the City attempts to limit the number of driveways that access the street. The current driveway is 20 feet wide (across public right of way) and may be expanded to 30 feet per the Zoning Code. A driveway to the new garage must connect to the existing driveway and not directly to Flanders Street.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
