The principal structure is a 660 square-foot one-and-a-half story home. The <br /> site is a corner lot fronting Pinewood and County Road I as well as Quincy Street. There is a <br /> privacy fence along the property line fronting Quincy Street. The applicant has expressed a need <br /> to build the oversized garage in which to store a long car-hauler and race car instead of having the <br /> car hauler parked in the driveway. The Plannning Commission at their March 5th meeting <br /> S recommended approval of the CUP, but did weigh heavily the size of the garage and its impact <br /> upon the neighborhood. The Commission asked the applicant if this were the minimum size <br /> garage necessary to meet her needs, to which the applicant responded that it was. <br /> The Planning Commission discussed two letters staff had received from neighbors of the applicant <br /> opposing the garage. No one spoke in opposition of the garage at either Planning Commission <br /> meeting. Since the March 5th meeting, staff has received additional phone calls and visits from <br /> neighbors expressing opposition to the proposal. <br /> Discussion: <br /> Dimmensional Requirements: <br /> The garage as it is proposed, does meet all of the setback and dimensional requirements as set <br /> forth in the Municipal Code relating to accessory buildings and conditional uses within R-1, Single <br /> Family Residential zone. These requirements, which the Council may increase as a condition of <br /> approval, are as follows: <br /> Required Provided Met ? <br /> Garage Setbacks (Front) 70 feet 80 feet Yes <br /> (Side) 5 feet 11 feet Yes <br /> (Rear) 5 feet 49 feet Yes <br /> Percent of Rear Yard <25% 21 % Yes <br /> • Garage Width 5 35 feet 8 feet Yes <br /> Area of all Accessory Buildings 5 1,264 sq. ft. 1,260 sq. ft.
