Little Canada Planning Commission 10 April 1984 Page Two Other conflicts are anticipated with the Zoning Ordinance Section 903.020.D, accessory buildings. Point 4 under this Section states that no accessory building or garage to a single family residential unit may exceed 1,000 square feet without a conditional use permit, regardless of zoning district. Also requiring a conditional use permit is the construction of more than one accessory building for a single family structure, again regardless of zoning district, this condition listed in 903.020.D.5. The proposed garage is pro- hibited by both of these sections. One other concern which is foreseen by this proposal regards the Water Works easement. The position of the garage on the submitted structure indicates that some fill may be necessary for its construction. In the absence of topographic information, however, this fact could not be verified. The amount of fill and its effect on the adjoining water way should be documented by the City Engineer. RECOMMENDATIONS The level of activity on the two sites is already quite high, particularly in view of the fact that the residential uses are nonconforming. The PUD rezoning is a tool which allows the City to incorporate a well- designed inter- mixing of various land uses. In this case, a PUD is the only reasonable means by which the applicant's request could be accommodated. However, the proposal is not well designed and approval of the request would have the effect of allowing an increase in a nonconformaing use through the construction of nonconforming structure. For these reasons, it is recommended that the PUD rezoning be denied. cc: Joseph Chlebeck Don Carley Tom Sweeney Richard Kimmes
