Planning Cases <br /> <br />A. Consider Resolution 1057-16, recommending approval of a Conditional Use <br />Permit for an oversized garage; and (Public Hearing) consider Resolution <br />1058-16 a Variance to the side yard setback at 7715 Eastwood Road; <br />Planning Case MU2016-002 <br /> <br />Planner Sevald stated the applicant, Cindy Brown, has applied for a building permit to add a <br />second floor onto the home and an addition onto the existing two-car attached garage. The <br />garage addition will exceed the maximum size permitted for an accessory building, unless a <br />Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is approved. Additionally, the existing garage is setback 4’-6” <br />from the side yard property line, whereas a minimum of 5’ is required. The proposed garage <br />addition would continue this 6” encroachment, requiring a Variance. Staff reviewed the <br />conditional use permit and variance requests in detail with the Commission and recommended <br />the Planning Commission recommend approval of the conditional use permit, and hold a public <br />hearing and approve the variance, as requested. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klander asked if the garage would be moving closer to the side yard setback. <br />Planner Sevald reported the garage would remain four feet six inches from the side property line. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Love opened the public hearing at 7:11 p.m. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klander questioned if the space above the garage would be used for living space <br />or for garage storage. Planner Sevald explained this space would be used as living space. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klander asked if the City received any feedback from the neighbors regarding the <br />variance and conditional use permit request. Planner Sevald indicated he received no comments <br />from the neighbors. <br /> <br />Cindy Brown, 7715 Eastwood Road, stated she spoke with her neighbors regarding the addition <br />and they were not opposed to the addition. <br /> <br />Commissioner Klebsch inquired when the addition would be completed. Ms. Brown anticipated <br />the addition would be completed by December 1st. <br /> <br />Vice Chair Love closed the public hearing at 7:15 p.m. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Rundle/Commissioner Klander.
