The agricultural building is not likely to outlast the agricultural use of the property. The existing <br />garage is not likely to remain in place for too many years due to its apparent age and condition. <br />As a result, we believe that the additional garage building for residential purposes is a reasonable <br />use of the property. <br />The Zoning Ordinance lists the following criteria to be considered when reviewing a Conditional <br />Use Permit request: <br />Consistency with the City's Land Use Plan. <br />Compatibility with current and future land uses in the area. <br />Conformance with all performance standards. <br />No depreciation of property values. <br />Ability of the use to be accommodated at existing levels of public services. <br />This garage would tend to intensify the residential use of the property in that adequate residential <br />storage does not currently exist on the site. As noted above, the other accessory buildings are not <br />likely to remain long for various reasons. However, it could be inappropriate to require their <br />removal at this time. The proposed building easily meets all setback requirements, and should add <br />to the value of the existing property Finally, there is no impact on city services, since the use <br />of the property would remain residential. <br />CONCLUSION <br />The proposed Conditional Use Permit appears to meet the intent of the Ordinance in regard to <br />preserving and enhancing the long term residential use of this property. We would recommend <br />approval of the CUP subject to the following conditions which are designed to assure this intent. <br />1. Any replacement of the existing garage with another garage is required to meet R -1 <br />District setbacks. <br />2. Upon discontinuation of the agricultural use, the existing agricultural shed is removed from <br />the property. <br />pc: Kathy Glanzer <br />Greg Schmidt <br />Dave Harris <br />Meyers Frattalone <br />Page 5 <br />
