4IP PLANNING COMMISSION Page 2 August 19, 1998 MOTION/SECOND: Brasaemle/Stevenson to approve the July 1, 1998 Planning Commission regular meeting minutes as corrected. Ayes- 6 Nays - 0 Motion carried 5. Planning Case No. 531-98 2185 Pinewood Drive Consideration of Resolution No. 554-98, a Resolution Recommending Approval of a Conditional Use Permit for an Oversized Accessory Building. Applicant: Tammy Bellamy The applicant, Tammy Bellamy, was present. • Associate Ericson gave his report as follows: Currently there is a small, one and one-half story residence and a detached single-car garage on the corner lot located at 2185 Pinewood Drive and Quincy Street. The applicant was requesting permission to construct a 1,008 square foot detached garage, 24 feet wide by 42 feet deep, 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. The applicant had requested a similar CUP in 1997, but chose to withdraw her request before action could be taken by the City Council. At past Planning Commission and City Council meetings, the issue of building a proportional relationship requirement between a house and garage had been discussed. Those discussions led to the adoption of Ordinance 620, which in this case, would not impact the applicant's request because Ordinance 620 goes into effect September 4, 1998. Staff had determined the rear yard is large enough to satisfy the 20 percent rear yard coverage limitation. The question then became: "Is the proposed garage too large for the site and the home?" To balance this concern the following uses were listed for the garage: 1. Create adequate storage space for the resident's vehicles and yard appliances 2. Create storage space for resident's car hauler The use of privacy fencing by the Bellamys and their adjoining neighbor will screen the garage from view at the street.
