PUBLIC HEARINGS, CONTINUED (#4) #2614 JOE AND SUE HAUS, 4485 BAYSIDE ROAD, VARIANCE, 7:45 p.m. -7:57 p.m. Joe Haus, Applicant, was present. The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. . Weinberger noted the Applicant was late for tonight's hearing due to a miscommunication on his part. . Weinberger stated the Applicant is requesting a variance to permit a recently remodeled accessory building to be located in front of a new principal residence to be constructed on the property. The Applicants had purchased the property last year and had a conditional use permit for a guest house approved by the Council. The property owners since that time have decided not to construct the guest house and build a new residence instead, with removal of the existing residence following issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the new house. Weinberger stated the existing accessory building is 12 ' by 32', which is located a few feet off the north property line. The Applicant is proposing to remove the existing building, construct a new accessory building located 50 feet from the front property line and a minimum of 30 feet to the side property line. The size of the new building would be 14' by 22', which is 380 square -feet and is a reduction of76 square feet from the existing building. The building would be constructed with a gabled or barn style roof to it and be one-story in height. · Weinberger stated the reason for locating the building in front of the principal structure has to do with .the way the property has historically functioned. Weinberger noted there is a shared driveway along the property line and services the back lot. The existing driveway would end at the garage to the new residence. The purpose of the shed is for storage. Location of the shed behind the principal residence is not possible due to some low land and trees in that area. Weinberger noted the building would meet the required setbacks . Haus stated he is in agreement with Staff's comments . PAGE 11
