Section 1125.01, Subdivision 1 lists the general adverse effects criteria �vtuch need to be addressed in order for a conditional use permiC to be approved Introduction: The applicant, Robert Kleinschmidt, is requesting approval of a conditional use permit to allow for the construction of a 256 square-foot oversized shed in the backyard of his property located at 2159 Terrace Drive. The property is located in the northeast section of the City, a block from the City's eastern municipal border. The 13,125 square-foot, well maintained lot is improved with a typical 1'/2 story home and two car garage. There is a small wood-framed shed in the backyard that would be removed upon completion of the proposed larger shed. There is an 8-foot tall privacy fence along the back of the property. lliscussion: Section 1106.4, Subdivision 7 lists the specific conditional use permit requirements for accessory storage buildings in excess of 216 square feet. These rec�uirements, such as setbacks and maximum square-footage are met with this proposal. The setbacks for an accessory structure are five feet; the applicant is proposing to locate the shed approximately 10 feet from the property line. The area of the proposed shed would be 256 square feet, which is less than the maximum allowed 400 sc�uare feet. The area of the proposed shed plus the area of the existing 720 square foot garage amount to 976 square feet, which represents a 13 percent back yard coverage, well below the maximum 20 percent coverage threshold.
