Zoning File #1839 <br />July 8. 1993 <br />Page 4 <br />At the time of the June review, the applicant advised that the existing detached garage <br />had been completed. Review Exhibit H. The applicant proposed the installation of a privacy <br />fence to be placed in front of the existing garage and a gravel area to be installed along the east <br />and north boundaries of the garage. Parking and drive areas were to be physically defined by <br />a split rail fence. Major concern was once again raised by Planning Commission members <br />concerning the condition of the yard. Staff advised that exterior storage problems were really <br />not related to the variance request but should be controlled via the home occupation license and <br />the standards that govern a home occupation use of a residential property. Since the June <br />meeting, the Building Official has sent a letter to the applicant advising of the need for Robert <br />Rossing to apply for a Home Occupation License. In the future, the continued violation of the <br />allowed level of commercial use of the residential property may result in the revocation of Mr. <br />Rossing ’s home occupation license. <br />The majority of the Planning Commission voted to deny the amended variance application <br />seeking approval of the 4’ x 12 ’ deck and stair strucmre to the northeast side of the proposed <br />addition based on the following findings: <br />1.Approval of this variance would only add to the further abuse of this residential <br />property. <br />2. Deck proposal should have been included with the original application. <br />Members representing the minority opinion had proposed an approval recommendation <br />that would have reaffirmed the conditions of the original variance approval and once again asked <br />that applicant provide a landscape plan that would include naniral plantings. <br />Options of Action <br />Deny applicant’s multiple variance application for the 20 ’ x 28 ’, 2';^-story addition and <br />4’ X 12 ’ deck and stair addition; <br />OR <br />To approve the application as proposed by Planning Commission eliminating 4’ x 12 ’ <br />deck and access stair; <br />To approve the setback variances for the 2'/^-story addition and deck.
