Planning Commission
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve the conditional use permit. Comments at the public hearing included concern for the size of the proposed structure, storage of hazardous materials, and concern for a future fire.
Background
The applicant has requested the approval of a conditional use permit for a garage that is 1,200 square foot in size. The property is zoned R-1 (Single Family) and the requirements of this section of the ordinance indicate that a conditional use permit is required for accessory structures that fall between 1,000 square feet and 1,200 square feet in size.
Unfortunately, the applicant lost his previous garage to a fire and is in need of a new garage to store his classic vehicles. The proposed garage would be located in the general area of the old garage and all setbacks would be met with the new structure. The proposed garage will be bigger than the old garage but the applicant is following the correct procedure for the extra square footage.
The applicant has 200 square foot shed on his property that will be removed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the new garage. The applicant would not be allowed to have any sheds on his property in the future given the fact that he is at the maximum square footage allowed for accessory structures in this zoning district with the construction of the new garage.
The new garage will match the existing house on the property with board and baton siding painted to match the color of the house.
Recommendation
By motion, approve the Resolution.
