Zoning File #1508 April 12, 1990 Page 3 of 4 Discussion ~ Given the nature of the existing garage and canopy, and Its location near a lot line and between the house and the street, staff would recommend that this structure not be allowed for housing of animals, either on a temporary or a permanent basis. The structure is in such condition that the applicant has in the past approached staff about tearing it down and rebuilding on the same foundation. He has been told this would require variances. There would appear to be adequate area in which to construct a barn or loafing shed that meets all setback and location requirements. The applicant has not suggested whether he would revise the fenced pasture areas. Nothing in the code prohibits him from using additional areas anywhere on the property for pasture. As of this writing, staff has received no comments from neighboring property owners regarding the application. Note that the boundary between the LR-IA and RR-lB districts follows the west property boundary. That boundary was defined along the quarter section line when the zoning districts were layed out in 1975. The property is located approximately 900' from the dredged channel abutting North Arm, and approximately 1,800' from the lake proper. Hardcover and runoff to the lake are not significant factors in the application. Staff Recomnendation - Absent any comments from neighboring property owners, staff would recommend approval of the conditional use permit to keep up to 2 horses on the property, finding that the lot has adequate acreage, and finding that a suitable structure for housing of the proposed horses can be constructed to meet all required setbacks, as follows: 75' from all property lines; 150' from any neighboring residence structure; no closer to North Arm Drive than the existing residence structure on the property. A diagram indicating the allowable locations is attached as Exhibit F. 1. 2. 3.
