MINUTES PLANNING COMM,ISS~ION JULY 12, 2001 Knudsen asked if the garage would be for personal use only. Webster replied that that was correct. Knudsen felt that the garage placement worked well on the property. The narrow side of the building would be facing the street, and the garage would be set back far enough that the 60 foot depth would not be apparent. Knudsen felt the garage would be an upgrade to the appearance of the property. Knudsen recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit allowing construction of a 25 foot by 60 foot garage for a total of 1,500 square feet of garage space at 2808 Noel .Drive as requested by Neil Webster subject to compliance with the recommendations of the City Planner as outlined in his report dated July ]0, 2001 and subject to removal of all other garage/shed structures from the property. Motion seconded by Roycraft. Motion carried 7 - 0.

BRETT PIRKOLA The Comiroission noted receipt of two letters in opposition to the Conditional Use Permit. .lt was also noted that one letter raises code enforcement issues at 29591;dgeiton resulting from a similar garage. The Deputy Clerk indicated that this complaint has been referred to the Code Fnforcemeut Officer for action. Barraclough reported that he visited the Pirkola property today to review the application. Li discussing the matter with Mr. Pirkola, he plans to put an 8-foot garage door on the back of the existing attached garage. As a result, access to the new garage would be through the existing garage. Barraclough noted that this is also one of the recommendations of the City Planner. It was noted that it appears that Mr. Pirkola is already driving alongside the north side of his garage to access his backyard. "Che Commissiods consensus was that this was not acceptable for access to a new garage in the back, and the access would have to be through the existing garage- Roycraft expressed concern with the construction materials that would be used for the garage. Keis pointed out that the garage would have vinyl siding and aluminum soffits. Carson felt the materials were acceptable.
