MINUTES PLANNING COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 9, 2004 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT — 3091 ARCADE STREET — JIM DALY PROPERTY DIVISION — 469 LABORS ROAD — GREG STARK Jim Daly, 3091 Arcade Street, appeared before the Commission requesting approval ofa second garage on a property as well as total garage space over 1,000 square feet. Daly indicated that he currently has a single -car garage and does not have enough room to expand his garage to the north. Daly pointed out that his lot is heavily wooded, and he would like to place the new garage in the woods.

The City Planner indicated that five feet is a typical setback for a driveway. It appears that there is enough room to meet a five -foot setback. The Planner indicated that his continents relative to plantings along the driveway made the assumption that this is what the neighbor would prefer. Obviously, that is not the case. Duray recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit to allow a second garage on a property as well as total garage space over 1,000 square feet for 3091 Arcade Street as requested by Jim and Lisa Daly, subject to the detached garage not exceeding 15 feet in height and subject to there being no commercial or home occupation activities on the property.
