Date of Report: September 8, 1998 Applicable Regulations: 1104.01, Subd. 4: Accessory buildings detached from principal building shall have a rear and side yard setback of 5 feet. Accessory buildings shall not be allowed in the front yard. 1106.03, Subd. ld: No garage shall exceed 864 square feet except by CUP. 1106.03, Subd. lh: The combined square footage for all accessory buildings on a lot shall not occupy more than 25% of the rear yard. 1106.04. Subd.6: The combined square footage of all accessory buildings on one lot cannot exceed 1,264 square feet; if the garage square footage is greater than 1,000 square feet, no other accessory building shall be allowed, the garage width cannot exceed 35 feet nor allow for more than three vehicle access. Background: 2185 Pinewood Drive is located at the corner of Pinewood Drive and Quincy Street,just north of County Road I. The property is approximately 16,000 square feet. Presently there is a small, one-story residence and a detached single-car garage on the corner lot. The applicant had requested a similar CUP in 1997, but chose to withdraw her request before action was taken by the City Council. The current request is for a 1,008 square foot detached garage, 24 feet by 42 feet, to be located 13 feet from the house and 13 feet from the west property line. The garage would be set back further on the property than the house. Recently the City Council adopted Ordinance 620 which changed some of the dimension requirements pertaining to garages. Because the application was submitted before the ordinance went into effect (September 4, 1998), this request will be judged based on the previous guidelines and requirements.
