«K)3-29S8 January 20, 2004 Pagc3of4 by approximately 400 square feet w'th every additional acre. If this chart were extended out to include the applicant ’s property, which is 2H- acres, it would allow for 10,800 square feet of accessory structures and the applicant could conceivably add the bam to his parcel and be within the allowable limits of square footage, should the Planning Commission deem this appropriate. However, the same section of the ordinance states that a property is only allowed one oversized accessory building (any building in excess of 1,000 s.f.). This requires that an additional variance be granted to allow more than one oversized accessory structure. The Planning Commission should discuss whether there are any hardships to grant two variances; one to allow more than one oversized accessory structure per property and also to allow more than 6,000 square feet of accessory structures. Hardship Analysis It is staffs opinion that there are no convincing hardships to allow the bam to remain at its existing size requiring two variance approvals. The "Little Orchard ” subdivision has eliminated any context the bam pre\ iously had in relationship to its sunoundings. Further, the bam has already been reduced in size, further lessening is historical significance. The bam could still be allowed, without any planning actions, if it were reduced to 832 s.f and either moved to 825 Old Cry stal Bay Road or if 2885 Little Orchard Way were combined with 825 Old Crystal Bay Road and the bam is moved to the location shown on the plan (E.xhibit B). Possible Options Planning Commission should discuss the following options: 1. Require that 2885 Little Orchard Way be combined with 825 Old Crystal Bay Ro^ if the applicant wishes to keep the bam. This action would also require the bam be moved to the location indicated on Exhibit B and the following planning actions: a. Variance to allow the total of all accessory structures to exceed 6,000 s.f.. b. Variance to allow more than one oversized accessory structure on a single parcel 2.Same as above but requiring the bam to be reduced to be under 1,000 s.f to alleviate the need for a variance to allow more than one oversized accessory structure. A variance may still be required to allow for the accessory structure total to exceed 6,000 s.f if the bam isn't reduced to 832 s.f or less. 3.If the applicant doesn ’t wish to combine 2S85 Little Orchard Way with 825 Old Cry stal Bay Road, the bam must be reduced to under 1,000 square feet and it must be moved to 825 Old Cry stal Bay Road in a conforming location. If the bam isn’t reduced to 832 s.f or less a variance would still be required as noted above. 1 * : ? r A i
