MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 27, 2007 RECESS CUP FOR GARAGE — ROY FRENCH A property owner asked if the City would be willing to purchase the property for park land. Blesener noted that this property would not be open to the general public; therefore, the City could not justify its purchase as park land. The property owner noted that if the City purchased the strip of land east of the street, it would be accessible to the general public. Blesener suggested it could be possible that the property came to the City as park land. Blesener suggested that the next step was for the Hanson's to have their property surveyed and meet with their Ontario neighbors to deteuuine if they have interest in enlarging their back yards. At this point in the meeting, 9:05 p.m., the Council took a short recess. The meeting was reconvened at 9:17 p.m. The City Attorney noted that the Council's motion on the Conditional Use Permit for a garage relative to the Roy French property at 2988 Edgerton Street failed. The Attorney described the options for the Council which included making another motion or tabling action until its next meeting at which the full Council will be present, and which will be within the City's 60 -day review period. The Attorney also noted that State Law requires the Council make findings as part of any action to deny. The Attorney suggested that if the Council tables action to the July 11 `h meeting, findings of denial will be prepared and present to the Council at that meeting. Blesener noted that one option would be to approve the CUP with the condition that the driveway be moved to the north side of the property. The Attorney agreed that that was an option the Council could consider. Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2007 -6 -148 — APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A DETACHED GARAGE CONSISTING OF 1,500 SQUARE FEET, 2988 EDGERTONSTREET, ROY FRENCH PROPERTY, SUBJECT TO THE DRIVEWAY BEING MOVED TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE EXISTING DRIVEWAY BEING REMOVED, SUBJECT TO THE BUILDING PERMIT TO INCLUDE THE RENOVATION OF THE EXISTING GARAGE INTO LIVING SPACE, SUBJECT TO THERE BEING NO BUSINESS USE OF THE PROPERTY AND NO OTHER ACCESSORY STORAGE BUILDINGS BEING ALLOWED, AND SUBJECT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER ENTERING INTO A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY RELATIVE TO 14
