Acting Chair Johnson declared the public hearing open at 8:26 p.m. Mr. Dunn noted another conditional use permit riding stable in the City with living quarters which does set a precedent. Acting Chair Johnson asked the reason for constructing living quarters. Mr. Ron Greenleaf, Representative of the applicants, stated that there is an enclosed area between the riding arena and the stable that was partially finished as a room. The applicants were concerned about supervision of the horses and decided to finish the room to live in. Mr. Johnson asked the size of the living space. Mr. Greenleaf answered that it is under 700 square feet. Ms. Wyland stated that the floor area is 403 square feet plus another 10' x 10' area for a total of between 600 and 700 square feet. Mr. Johnson noted that the space is under the minimum code standard size which would mean granting a variance. Nothing has been submitted to justify a variance. Mr. Gelbmann asked if the apartment portion is adequate to support 40 feet of snow load as required by code. Mr. Greenleaf stated that the proposal is in compliance with Section 310.7, Efficiency Dwelling Unit, as referenced in Mr. Grace's letter dated April 16, 1997.
