STAFF REPORT To: Planning Commission From: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant Date: November 16, 1999 Subject: Garage Setback Permit for Kittelson, 3549 Stinson Boulevard BACKGROUND. John and Nadine Kittelson, 3549 Stinson Boulevard, have submitted an application for a garage setback permit in order to build a two-car garage on the site of the currently existing single-car garage. According to the owners, the current garage is in poor repair and is in need of replacement. The Kittleson's are requesting a Garage Setback Permit because of the configuration of their lot and the placement of their driveway. Their lot-is long and narrow, 54 feet x 153 feet and the driveway runs along the length of the lot on the south side of the lot. Because of the configuration of the structures and driveway on this property,the proposed garage has to be constructed in the south side yard of their lot. The plans that the Kittleson's have submitted for the proposed garage is 20 x 32 and appears to be a prefabricated garage. It is also larger than what is described in the City's ordinance. In doing the calculations to determine the what affect this would have on their lot coverage, Staff determined a 660 square foot garage increases lot coverage 1%over the lot coverage a garage at 528 square foot would have on this property. The site of the proposed garage will not negatively impact adjacent properties. The property owners to the south of the Kittleson's have an attached garage and their structures are set closer to Stinson Boulevard. As such,the proposed garage will be adjacent to the neighbors rear yard and not close to any structures on the neighboring property.
