Planning Case No. 516-98 <br /> Oversized Garage Conditional Use Permit <br /> Thomas Lammi--7858 Long Lake Road <br /> April 15, 1998 • <br /> Page 2 <br /> Analysis: <br /> Dimensional Requirements: <br /> Required Proposed Met/Not Met <br /> Garage Setbacks (Front) 30 feet 30 feet Met <br /> (Side) 10 feet 10 feet Met <br /> (Rear) 10 feet 22 feet Met <br /> Percent of Rear Yard <25% 12.7% Met <br /> Garage Width s 35 feet 22 feet Met <br /> Area of all Accessory Buildings: s 1,264 Sq. ft. 1,246 Sq. ft. Met <br /> CUP requirements: <br /> Section 1106.04 of the Zoning Code states that no garage shall exceed 864 square feet except by <br /> conditional use permit. With a CUP, the maximum area for a garage is 1,264 square feet. The <br /> garage area proposed by the applicant, at 1,246 square feet, meets this requirement. Section <br /> 1125.01 gives a list of criteria that must be satisfied in order for conditional use permits to be • <br /> approved. These criteria are as follows: <br /> 1. Relationship with the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The Comprehensive Plan encourages the development and maintenance of residential areas <br /> so as to improve the quality, appearance and attractiveness of housing units and residential <br /> property in general. The Comprehensive Plan designates this property, 7858 Long Lake <br /> Road, low-density residential. This proposal does not conflict with the Comprehensive <br /> Plan. <br /> 2. The Geographical Area Involved. <br /> 4. The Character of the Surrounding Area <br /> The majority of the lots in this area are larger than the subject property although many of the lots <br /> across Long Lake Road are smaller parcels. While the proposed garage is larger than what is typical <br /> for this area,the placement of the garage addition behind the home hides it from Long Lake Road. The <br /> garage would be visible only to the three adjoining properties. Staff has spoken to two of the three <br /> neighboring property owners,who do not foresee a problem with the addition. <br /> 3. Whether such use will tend to or actually depreciate the area in which it is proposed. <br /> This addition will serve to increase the subject property's value without negatively impacting the <br /> values of the neighboring properties. • <br />
