Eyler CC Report May 27, 2003 Page 2 As stated on the previous page, the proposed request fully complies with the Comprehensive Plan. The neighborhood has many large lots of this same size so the oversized garage would not appear too large for the lot. The garage would not depreciate the area and in fact would bring added value to the property and would have a positive impact to the tax base. While many homes in the area still have the original, small garages, a growing number of properties in the area are making similar improvements. As for demonstrated need for such a use, the Eylers’ letter expresses in great detail their need. Code Requirements Subdivision 6 of Section 1106.04 lists the conditions under which a conditional use permit for an over-sized garage can be issued. These are as follows: a. The accessory building must conform with other Sections of the Code b. The combined square footage of all accessory buildings on one (1) lot cannot exceed one thousand four hundred (1,800) square feet. c. The building shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance with the dwelling unit. d. The width of the building cannot exceed thirty-five feet (35'). e. The building shall be a permanent structure. f. Should the use for which the permit was granted be changed, the permit shall be subject to reconsideration, revocation or other action. All of these conditions are satisfied with this request. Planning Commission Action: The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the CUP after a revision was made to the dimensions or the garage. The Planning Commission’s resolution is attached for the Council’s review. The Planning Commission recommended that the second curb cut be eliminated from the property as a condition of the CUP approval. That requirement remains in the Council resolution yet may be removed at the Council’s discretion. The applicants would prefer to retain the second curb cut.
