The site poses no physical restraints which would deprive the applicant nor is the size restriction on accessory buildings putting the applicant at a disadvantage when compared to similar sites. In a variance request much like this one, Fuel Economy Contracting, in March of this year, applied for a variance to add accessory structures on their property and thus exceed the 30 percent rule. The variance was denied because there were no special conditions which existed and because the request for the variance was a result from actions of the applicant. It should also be noted that since it appears this structure has already been purchased, it shall not be allowed to be occupied for any use until this request has been reviewed and acted upon by the City Council. The City Building Inspector will not issue an occupancy permit for this structure if it is placed on the property prior to the resolution of this request and shall enforce any violations of the Code resulting from such action. RECOMMENDATION Using the Fuel Economy request as case history and reviewing the specifics of this request, our office would not recommend granting this variance. The request again is resultant from the applicant's actions in that rather than putting a structure which meets allowed size on the site, the applicant wants a variance for a structure already purchased which is too large to meet the requirements. In such case that the Planning Commission should recommend to the City Council that the variance be approved, the following requirements should be a condition of the approval: 1. The existing mobile office be removed from the site and replaced by the proposed structure. 2. The site be brought into strict compliance with all design criteria relating to paving, curbing, landscaping, parking, and circulation requirements. 3. The site be required to conform to the original site plan entitled The Yard, dated 3 -14 -83 presented for this parcel, which would include the above mentioned improvements, and attached as an exhibit. An appropriate financial security - should accompany the building permit application. cc: Joel Hanson Kathy Glanzer John Palacio Mike Lynch Tom Sweeney Jerry Carle 3 Page 37
