LA20-000059 HENDEL HOMES, 1775 FOX STREET,CONDITIONAL USE <br /> PERMIT(Staff: Melanie Curtis) <br /> Steve Kothman OB/O Hendel Homes,Applicant,was present. <br /> Staff presented a summary of packet information.The applicant is requesting a conditional use permit <br /> (CUP)to install a full bathroom including a shower, in a new pool house. Planning Department Staff <br /> recommends approval of the CUP conditioned upon the property owners' agreement to the filing of the <br /> standard restrictive covenant against the property regarding the building's use. <br /> Ressler asked for clarification if any of these applications go before the City Engineer for review in case <br /> of environmental concerns or impact regarding the installation of an auxiliary shower and full bathroom. <br /> Ms. Curtis replied the City Engineer would not review it regarding the plumbing itself,and the septic <br /> system is sized based on bathroom number in the home and the toilet and sink are an allowed use; <br /> however,the shower requires a CUP due to the intensified use of the building. She noted there are no <br /> concerns that have been expressed about the installation. <br /> Ressler asked if this project will hook up to existing septic. <br /> Ms. Curtis answered in the affirmative, stating it will hook up to the existing septic system for the home. <br /> Mr. Steve Kothman, Senior Project Manager for Hendel Homes, stated it is a pool house conforming to <br /> the hardscape areas and falls within the setback lines of the flood plain and other areas. <br /> Chair Ressler opened the public hearing at 6:11 p.m. <br /> Chair Ressler closed the public hearing at 6:11 p.m. <br /> Libby thinks Ressler's question about the services is valuable and important but he does not see anything <br /> other than agreement on his part as Staff recommendation seems prudent and well thought out. He noted <br /> the designs look in keeping with good fit and finish. <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
