MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 17, 2003 CUP FOR GARAGE — 57 BRYAN AVENUE — DICK BOSS Mayor Fahey opened the public hearing to consider the application for a Conditional Use Permit for a second garage as well as total garage space over 1,000 square feet requested by Dick Boss at 57 Bryan Avenue. Fahey noted that the City Planner and the Planning Commission have recommended approval of the CUP. Fahey also noted that Mr. Boss is his brother -in -law, therefore, he would not participate in the discussion or the vote on this issue. Acting Mayor LaValle asked Mr. Boss for an explanation of his request. Dick Boss reported that his lot consists of over an acre of property. He would like to construct a second garage on the property adjacent to the hockey rink area on his property. Boss noted, however, that the small storage building on the western edge of his property straddles the lot line. Therefore, he is requesting that the eastern 10 feet of Boss Road be vacated to resolve that issue, He noted that the right -of -way for Boss Road is 60 feet wide, and the current City standard for residential roads is 50 feet. The City Administrator noted that a public hearing will have to be held to consider the vacation of a portion of Boss Road. If the City Council initiates the hearing, the vacation will require a 4 /5ths vote for approval. If Mr. Boss petitions for the vacation, approval will require a 3 /5ths vote. The City Planner agreed that the vacation of 10 feet of Boss Road would resolve the issue with the storage stied on the western edge of the property. However, the garage proposed by Mr. Boss could be located to meet the City's setback requirements regardless of whether or not the vacation is approved. Blesener asked about the old hockey shack located on the eastern side of the hockey rink. Boss reported that the shack is dilapidated and would be removed. As a result, the buildings that would exist on the property are the house with attached garage, the storage shed on the western edge of the property and the garage being proposed this evening. Blesener asked how the proposed garage differs from the situation with the Cossack property on Eli Road. The City Planner noted that with the removal of the dilapidated building, the Boss property would have one attached garage and one detached garage totaling less than 1,500 square feet (CUP required). The property would also have a storage shed of 120 square feet or less (permitted under the Code). There was no one present from the general public wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Blesener, seconded by LaValle, the public hearing was closed. 7 5
