To accommodate the proposal, the following approvals are necessary: 1. A variance to allow a recreational accessory building greater than 160 square feet in size. 2. A variance to allow the total floor area of a garage and accessory buildings on the subject property to exceed 1,500 square feet. In the spring of 2001, the City approved a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a detached accessory building (a garage) between 1,000 and 1,500 square feet in size on the property. Specifically, a building 1,152 square feet in size was approved and subsequently constructed. Aside from the 1,152 square foot garage, a 120 square foot storage shed also exists in the northwest corner of the property. Approval of the proposed recreational accessory building would result in 1,632 square feet of garage and accessory building area on the property, a total of 1,752 square feet including the shed. To be noted is that the proposed recreational accessory building has been partially constructed but lacks the proper approvals to legalize its existence. The subject property is zoned R -1, Single Family Residential. -25-
