However, the applicants house is not extremely large, being about 1,200 s.f. on the main floor and about 1,000 s.f. in the basement. There is no existing garage on the property. Applicant's building permit application noted that the garage will be used for cars on the lower level and storage or office on the upper level. Lower level will have a work bench. The neighboring property owners to the east, the Gabrielsons, who are most affected by this garage structure, have acknowledged that they are aware of the application but have made no comments to staff as of this writing. The proposed garage will use the existing driveway access location and there are no sight distance problems associated with this location. Planning Commission may wish to ask the applicant to address his actual needs for the extra storage space and reasons why that space could not be accomplished with an attached addition which would not need the accessory structure floor area variance. It may be reasonable for the Planning Commission to ask the applicant to explore alternatives to creating this oversized accessory structure that has potential for uses other than strictly residential. Staff Recomiiendation - If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the variances requested, such approval would appropriately be granted under the condition that the garage and attached space above it may never be used as a dwelling unit, cannot be rented as a dwelling unit, may not have plumbing installed, and the applic.’^nt should be advised that the property does not meet the criteria for granting of a guest house conditional use permit. m CITY OF OF Initial Ap ($50.00 Renewal Va (no char After-the- PROPERTY I Site Addre Property I Please ch€ Attach le« required s Ncuone OWNER (if Name Addre I (dc
