Zoning File #1603 November 15, 1990 Page 4 of 7 Review of Application - At your October meeting, the Planning C: /.nission members approved a conditional use permit and variances to the accessory structure code that allowed a guest house, considered an oversized accessory structure on a 31 acre parcel (22 acres dry buildable) that already had two oversized accessory structures for a final total of 3. Mr. Jacobs' homestead parcel is immediately adjacent to the subject property. Applicant's gardener resides within the house on the 2.7 acre parcel. The proposed greenhouse will supply the gardens on the adjace' : property with plantings for the extensive flowe.r beds on the estate. The Planning Commission voted unanimous approval of a conditional use permit and variance and questioned the introduction of applicant's greenhouse in the review of the conditional use permit for the guest house as they involved separate properties. In light of the impact of the row accessory structure ordinance and the fact that the structures and the uses of the 2.7 acre parcel support the estate use on the 31 acre parcel, the 2,600 s.f. greenhouse variance does not appear 3 intense or extreme. Planning Commission should ask if they would approve a 2,600 greenhouse on your typical ? acre rural lot? Certainly the unique pattern of ownership and use of these properties imoact the review of this application. The greenhouse meets all reqir' *=?d setbacks. The height of the greenhouse at 16' appears t-^ create no height problems. Please review applicant's addendum (Exhibit D), that provides background on the need for the greenhouse. The greenhouse based on the 2.7 acre area does require hardcover variances within the 250-5C0' setback area of approximately 3.7%. Per the oversized accessory structure ordinance, the greenhouse exceeds the allowed area for a 2.78 a». ? parcel (allowed 1,200 s.f.) and will require variance approvax because this would be the second oversized accessory structure on the property where only 1 is a Howe., If the property was legally combined with the estate property, a hardcover variance would no longer to necessary.
