MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION MARCH 10, 2022 4 The Community Development Director explained that the property would continue to do what it currently can do today and would not be additionally restricted. Chair Kwapick commented that this will make it much easier for developers to look at the map to see what is allowed. REPORTS FROM STAFF The Community Development Director referenced allowances for garage sizes and accessory structures. She stated that the City has been following the path of using a CUP to allow a garage or accessory structure over 1,000 square feet. She noted that staff drafted potential language that would clarify the intent to eliminate confusion and reviewed the proposed language with the Commission. She welcomed input from the Commission as they read the draft language and noted that she will bring this back for consideration at the next meeting. Commission Buesing referenced the 30 percent lot coverage language noting that he would interpret that language as each structure could be up to 30 percent and provided a suggestion that would clarify that to read that the combination of cannot exceed 30 percent of the lot coverage. Chair Kwapick referenced A and B which adds accessory buildings and noted that seems to preclude garages from the setback. The Community Development Director provided clarification noting that the garage requirements are found in a different section. Chair Kwapick stated that it would be helpful to add more information to make that as clear as possible. He stated that there have been a few CUP requests for garages over the allowed size which include a condition that a shed is then not allowed. He stated that perhaps language should be added to this section clarifying that additional accessory structures would not be allowed for garages with increased size to make sure applicants are aware from the beginning. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS None. There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 6:31 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Amanda Staple TimeSaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc.
