Date of Report: October 21, 1999 Background: The applicants, Alan and Tammy Doroff, have applied for a conditional use permit to construct a 384 square-foot shed in the backyard of their home located at 8270 Eastwood Road. The area of this property is 18,711 square feet, or .43 acres. Most of the lots in this neighborhood are of the same size, many of which are improved with similar types of split-entry homes with attached double car garages. The shed, described to be a barn-like structure fifteen feet tall, would be situated behind the in-ground pool as indicated on the site plan. The backyard of the Doroffs' property is enclosed by an eight-foot tall wood fence which offers complete screening of the backyard area from the adjacent neighbors. The area of the backyard is 6,880 square feet, of which 384 square feet would be taken for the shed. This would amount to a coverage rate of 6 percent. The Code limits backyard coverage of accessory buildings to no more than 20 percent. There is an existing shed that would be removed upon construction of the new shed. The Planning Commission acted upon this item at their meeting on October 25, 1999, voting unanimously to recommend to the City Council approval of the requested conditional use permit.
