Ayes (5) L.aValle, Scalze, Montour, Fahey, Anderson. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. CUP FOR Mayor Fahey opened the Public 1-tearing to reconsider the application GARAGE - for Conditional Use Permit to construct a 36 foot by 28 foot accessory 3058 garage at 3058 Greenbrier Street as requested by AI and Cindy Mentes. GREENBRIER- Fahey noted that the Planning Commission reconsidered this request MEN'TES and have recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit. Cindy Mentes appeared before the Council and reported that they would like a Conditional Use Permit to consu'uct a 1,008 square foot detached garage. Including their existing attached garage, this would bring their total garage space up to 1,448 square feet. Mentes reported that since the last consideration of this request they have lowered the height Prom 12 feet to 9 feet and have changed the location of the detached garage. In discussing location with their neighbor, Mr. Otto, they decided that the new garage would be approximately 12 feet from their shared property line and 30 feet from the back of their existing garage even with their deck. A little over I 1 feet of the new garage would be behind the existing garage, thus minimizing visibility from the street. Jon Erik Kingstad, attorney representing Mr. and Mrs. Mentes, submitted a letter to the Council in which he challenges the City Planner's report relative to the CUP application as well as challenges the City sta1~'s authority to retain the consultant at the expense of Mr. and Mrs. Mentes without their consent. Fahey pointed out that the City Council was just presented this report this evening, and suggested that it be referred to the City Attorney for his opinion. As a result, Fahey suggested that consideration of the CUP be tabled to give the City Attorney an opportunity to prepare an opinion. Cindy Mentes reported that at the Planning Commission meeting a couple of neighbors appeared to find out more information relative to the CUP application. "these property owners did not voice opposition to the proposed garage. AI Mentes indicated that he adjusted the proposed placement of the garage working with his neighbor, Mr, Otto. He also noted that he has lowered the height of the garage. s
