COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />A. 7:00 p.m. Public Hearing, Resolution 8248, Consideration of a Conditional <br />Use Permit for an Oversize Garage at 8312 Red Oak Drive. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller indicated the applicant, Chuck Pelton, is requesting approval of a <br />conditional use permit for an oversize detached garage on his property at 8312 Red Oak Drive. <br />The applicant wants to expand his house by attaching the existing detached garage and turning it <br />into living space. He then plans to build a new 1,800 square foot garage behind the house with a <br />driveway. <br /> <br />Planning Associate Heller explained the applicant submitted plans for a garage larger than what <br />City Code allows without a conditional use permit. Any building larger than 952 square feet <br />must get City approval of a conditional use permit. The applicant will also be installing a <br />driveway that connects to the existing driveway and leads to the new garage in the backyard. She <br />reviewed the conditional use permit requirements per City Code and noted the Planning <br />Commission recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit as requested. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. <br /> <br />Hearing no public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:40 p.m. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause asked what was being stored in the existing garage. Chuck Pelton, <br />8312 Red Oak Drive, commented his plan was to store his vehicles in the new garage. <br /> <br />Council Member Meehlhause suggested the garage be moved closer to the property line as this <br />would create a straighter driveway for the applicant. Mr. Pelton stated the trees and power line in <br />the rear yard may not make this possible. <br />
