CU2015-002 Conditional Use Permit to Allow a 1,239 Square Foot Oversize Garage Applicant: Steven Smith Address: 2443 Hillview Road City Administrator Ericson indicated Steven Smith was requesting a Conditional Use Permit to allow for a 1,239 square foot oversize garage on his property at 2443 Hillview Road. He explained the applicant was proposing to expand the rear of the garage and would not be encroaching on the side yard setback. Staff reviewed the request in further detail, requested the Planning Commission hold a Public Hearing and recommended approval. Chair Stevenson opened the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. Chair Stevenson asked what the proposed roofline would be in relation to the current house. Steven Smith, 2443 Hillview Road, explained the hipped roofline would remain at the same angles and would not be higher than the existing house. Chair Stevenson questioned if the addition to the garage was at a minimum. Mr. Smith indicated he would like to store an antique car and four-wheeler in the garage expansion along with providing a small work area. Commissioner Schiltgen asked if the rear elevation of the garage would have a garage door. Mr. Smith commented he was proposing to have a nine-foot garage door. Chair Stevenson did not see any objections to the request and did not believe sight lines would be impacted by the proposed garage expansion. Chair Stevenson closed the public hearing at 7:14 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Commissioner Schiltgen/Commissioner Klander.
