• • Planning & Zoning Board August 12, 1998 Page 3 Chair Schaps asked what stage the project is in. Mr. Dougherty indicated the tresses have been ordered, the foundation dug, and other supplies are on order. He stated he has spent $5,000 - $6,000 on the project. Mr. Trehus made a MOTION to approve Variance as requested for a 14' x 24' addition, and was supported by Mr. Johnson. Motion carried 6 -0. C. Russell Trettel, 7148 Rice Lake Lane, Site Plan Review Ms. Wyland stated this case involves a request to move a 14 x 22 (308 square foot) garage onto a parcel of property at 7148 Rice Lane. The applicant currently has a 22 x 22 (484 square foot) attached garage. The site is 150' wide by 300' deep for a total of 45,000 square foot. The Zoning Ordinance allows a total of 1,120 square feet of accessory building on parcels this size. The existing garage, and building to be moved would total 792 square foot, well within the requirements of the Ordinance. The Ordinance also requires any structure moved onto a parcel of property to do so via a Site Plan Review. Ms. Wyland noted the City's Building Official has inspected the structure to be moved and found it to be structurally adequate. The applicant does plan to reroof the structure and paint the exterior to match his existing home. The 14 x 22 foot building is proposed to be located in the rear yard 5' from the side property line and 12' from the rear. Staff recommended approval of the site plan review with conditions. Chair Schaps asked if staff has photos of the garage and what the penalty is for not complying with the 60 day repair limit. Ms. Wyland stated she does not have photos but the building inspector did visit the site. If the applicant does not apply with the 60 day repair limit, he is in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. This is a misdemeanor and the applicant could be fined. Mr. Dunn asked for clarification regarding the lot line of the property. Mr. Trettel went over a drawing and indicated the garage will be placed 12' from his property line. His attached garage sits fairly close to his lot line. Mr. Dunn expressed concern regarding the potential for an easement or driveway. He asked what Mr. Trettel will use the shed for. Mr. Trettel indicated the shed will be used for storage of miscellaneous items. It will not store a vehicle. Mr. Corson asked if the adjacent neighbor is aware of the request. Mr. Trettel stated he • has spoken to the neighbor behind him.
