Zoning File #2064 September 8. 1995 Page 3 Discussion Planning Commission may recall that last fall. Robert Olson split off a 3 acre parcel with his residence in order to sell it, leaving a 14 acre Outlet C plus Outlots B and D as a future road corridor. This left the 0.27 acre Outlet A for future combination with the neighboring Irv Geffre property. The City required that Geffre be involved in that plat due to the need for use of portions of his propertv for future road right-ot-way. Olson, in exchange for Geffre s participation in the plat, agreed to deed Outlot A to Geffre and additionally deed to him additional land with the 40’ X 60’ shed, in the event that Outlot B is used for road right-of-way. Although that road use has not vet occurred, Geffre and Olson wish to proceed with the additions to Geffre s property. Shed Setback Variance The proposed new lot line 30’ south of the shed may have bt en located to not totally preclude the future use of an identified potential draiidield site south of the shed, which might serve a future residence on Outlot C. Because the shed is an oversized accessory structure and the line south of it is technically the rear line of the Geffre propertV', a 50’ setback would normally be required for this building. A 30’ setback is proposed. OAS Individual/Combined Footprint Variance In addition to the rear setback variance, variances are required for the size of this individual oversize structure, as well as the square footage of all accessory structures on the property. With Geffre acquiring the large shed, it may be reasonable to ask for removal of the quonset as well as the 10’ x 16’ shed, which would significantly reduce the degree of variance for square footage of all accessory structures. The variance for the 40’ x 60’ shed may be justified by the fact that it already exists, that it was built prior to any requirement for an OAS covenant (and no covenant was required with the previous subdivision), and that the structure will now be on a property that has a principal structure. Future Road Development Finally, note that it is inconsequential at this time whether Olson combines Outlots B, C and D, since Outlot C will have to be replatted in the fumre to make it buildable. However, a continuing condition will be that Outlots B, C and D must remain in common ownership until Outlot C is platted to create one or more building sites. In the event that Outlot C is platted without the need for Outlots B and D as road, then it will be easier to combine them with adjacent properties if they have not been legally combined with Outlot C. Staff has been contacted by numerous potential buyers of the 14 acre parcel as well as the Fred and David White property to the immediate west. Staff continues to recommend to all potential developers that the Olson and White properties be dealt with comprehensively when a future development occurs.
