MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AUGUST 22, 2001 <br />Fahey felt that the recommendation of the Planning Commission which <br />resulted in the revised proposal submitted this evening by Mrs. Mentes <br />balances the interests of the applicant and the neighborhood. Therefore, the <br />Council would be hard- pressed to deny the CUP. Fahey indicated, however, <br />that he would like to see the additional garage space incorporated into the <br />existing garage. Fahey stated that he would be willing to consider an increase <br />in total square footage if that were the case given the decreased impact on the <br />neighborhood by having the garage attached. <br />Route indicated that the neighborhood has heard that Mr. Mentes plans to put a <br />hoist in this garage. This raises concern that the garage will be put to a <br />business use. Mrs. Mentes indicated that her husband has had hip replacement <br />surgery and also that he is a real car buff. He had considered a hoist so that he <br />can raise his cars for greater ease in polishing. Mrs. Mentes indicated that he <br />no longer intends to install a hoist. She reported that the accessory garage <br />would be used for storage purposes only. <br />Anderson asked if the CUP ran with the land. The City Planner confirmed that <br />this was correct. <br />The City Administrator reported that Mr. Otto called to express his opposition <br />to the CUP based on the size of the garage and given his concern that the <br />garage would be used for a business since a hoist would be installed. <br />Mentes again indicated that the garage would be used for storage of hobby <br />vehicles and that they will not be installing a hoist. <br />Scalze asked if the siding of the garage would match the house. Mentes <br />reported that the plan is to install vinyl siding on the garage and to reside the <br />house with vinyl. <br />Scalze asked if there would be one driveway corning in off Greenbrier Street. <br />Mentes replied that that was correct. The driveway will then loop off <br />alongside the existing garage to access the new garage. <br />There was no one else from the general public present wishing to comment on <br />this matter. <br />Upon motion by LaValle, seconded by Fahey, the public hearing was closed. <br />Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2001 -8 -179 — APPROVING THE CONDITIONAL USE <br />PERMIT ALLOWING FOR CONSTRUCTION OF A 22 FOOT BY 25 <br />FOOT ACCESSORY GARAGE TO BE PLACED 6 FEET BEHIND THE <br />
