STAFF REPORT • DATE: .Tune 3, 1993 TO: Thomas D. Burt, City Manager FROM: David Mark Urbia, Management Assistant ITEM: APPLICATION FOR GARAGE SEIRACK PERMIT, DOUGLAS AND JUIJ E HENRY, 3531 SKYCROFT DRIVE BACKGROUND The applicants, Douglas and Julie Henry, request a Garage Setback Permit to allow a double garage to be built with an eighteen foot side setback (equal to the grandfathered side setback of the home). The minimum side setback from a public right-of-way is 30'. The proposed garage size of 22' X 24' is within the Garage Setback Permit ordinance requirements. Staff believes there are no significant visibility, fire safety, or other issues that would prohibit the granting of this permit. The applicants already have a double garage, but intend to use the additional garage for boat and other recreational vehicle storage. • This proposal does not mirror exactly the intent of amending the ordinance to create the Garage Setback Permit concept, as the applicants already have a double garage. However, the additional garage addresses another issue of concern, that of storage of boats and recreational vehicles. The applicants are able to build the double garage under the ordinance, it is just a matter of where. If the garage setback permit is not allowed, the applicant could place the garage 30' back, so that the garage is in the middle of the back yard. Staff believes the garage would look better in the back even with the side setback of the home. Another advantage of granting the garage setback permit is that the Council may place conditions on the garage, similar to a conditional use permit. Examples of conditions could be as follows: (1) construction material must.match that of principle structure; (2) no parking for extended periods of time on driveway; and (3) extend fencing on side area and use plantings to enhance area. i
