MINUT~S <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JULY 23, 1997 <br />CUP FOR A Acting Mayor Scalze opened the public hearing to consider the <br />SECOND application submitted by Art and Kathy Herkenhoff for a Conditional <br />GARAGE - Use Permit to allow a second garage as well as total garage space <br />2965 EDGERTON exceeding 1,000 square feet on their property located at 2965 Edgerton <br />STREET Street. Scalze noted that the Planning Commission recommended <br /> approval of the CUP with a vote of 5 to 1. The one dissenting vote <br /> indicated that he opposed the CUP given that the garage would be closer <br /> to the nei~hbor's house than it would be to the Herkenhoff house. <br />Art Herkenhoff, 2965 Edgerton Street, reported that his property is 100 <br />feet wide by 400 feet deep. He is proposin~ to construct a 20-foot by 30- <br />foot ~arage which will be used to store domestic and yard equipment. The <br />garage will match the existing house in terms of roof and siding color. <br />The house has a hip roof, and the garage has a gable roo£ Herkenhoff <br />stated that he was agreeable to complying with the recommendations of <br />the City Planner. <br />Scalze asked why Herkenhoff choose that particular corner of the property <br />to place the garage. <br />Herkenhoff reported that he would like to put a garden in his back yard. <br />Therefore, the area he chose for the garage was more shaded. Herkenhoff <br />reported that he planned to set the garage 10 feet from the property lines, <br />even thou~h Code allows a 3-foot setback. (Note: the Code requirement <br />is 10 feet.) <br />LaValle pointed out that the northeast corner of the lot appears to be low <br />and would likely require some fill in order to place the garage. <br />Herkenhoff is proposin~ to place the garage in the southeast corner of the <br />lot. <br />Morelan asked ifHerkenhoffwas agreeable to complying with the <br />recommendations of the City Planner and Planning Commission. <br />Herkenhoff replied that he was. <br />Scalze asked if there was anyone from the general public interested in <br />commenting on this matter. <br />Tom Moser, 2960 Vanderbie, reported that his lot abuts the Herkenhoff <br />property. Moser indicated that he did not feel the size garage proposed <br />was appropriate for a residential area. Moser stated that he could <br />appreciate the need for a shed, but felt the size building proposed was <br />similar to a small pole building. <br />Morelan asked if aesthetics or if use was the issue. <br />2 <br />
