Request for Council Action continued page 2 of 2 June 5, 1995 Zoning File #2015 In the review of the conditional use permit for the guest apartment, members considered the issue of internal access to the apartment area at the third floor. There are three accesses to the apartment area, one via the patio doors at the lower level (via basement, review Exhibits E-2 and F-1). The second access was via the side garage door to a hallway that would lead to the staircase to the upper level (review Exhibits 4 and F-2). Internal access is provided by the link to the addition that consists of a mud room and expansion of the kitchen (review Exhibits E-4, E-5, F-2 and G). Members concurred that at the time of the future addition of the remainder of the principal structure that the current link would be removed. Based on the alignment of the addition and the existing structure, it is impossible to provide internal access in any other way but through the link as proposed. Planning Commission Recommendation The Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval of the application as proposed subject to the conditions set forth in the staff memo of May 4, 1995 and two conditions set forth by Planning Commission at their meeting as follows: 5. Applicant to obtain a demolition permit for the removal of the accessory structure, garage. 6. Applicant to provide a date at which time applicant proposes the removal of the detached garage and the closing off of the existing drive. Review Exhibit L, applicant's second addendum notes that both garage and drive will be removed by January 1, 1996. Applicant wants to maintain the existing access and garage during the period of construction. Applicant's property is not subject to hardcover controls so applicant's retention of the concrete pad for a limited period of time is of no issue for the City. The enclosed approval resolution has been drafted per the findings and conditions of the Planning Commission's recommendation. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: To either adopt or amend the enclosed approval resolution. ch
