Zoning File #2064 <br />September 8, 1995 <br />Page 4 <br />Drainage and Utility Easement Vacation <br />Staff has included i:o. this review the vacation of existing drainage and utility easements <br />between the 2,450 s.f. shed and the lot lines to the north and east of it. This vacation would <br />be appropriate in conjunction with granting of new drainage and utility easements 5' either side <br />of the new lot lines to the east and south of that building. Staff is unaware of any current use <br />of the existing easement by any utilities, and the utilities have been legally notified of the request <br />for easement vacation. None have commented as of this writing. Applicants should advise staff <br />if they are aware of any utilities using the current easement. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. Will Planning Commission accept the 30' rear setback for the oversize accessory <br />structure as presented? <br />2. Should Geffre be requested/required to remove the quonset and/or the 10' x 16' shed to <br />minimize the degree of variance required? <br />3. Other issues of concern to Planning Commission? <br />Options for Action <br />1. Approve lot line rearrangement and Geffre combinations as proposed, granting variances <br />for the OAS setback, individual OAS footprint and combined OAS footprints as <br />proposed, requiring dedication of new easement in exchange for the vacation. <br />2. Same as above, except require Geffre to remove quonset and/or small shed. <br />3. As in #1 or #2 above, except require additional setback to the rear of large shed. <br />4. A combination of the above. <br />5. Table, giving applicant direction how to proceed. <br />6. Other. <br />Staff Recommendation <br />~ <br />Staff recommends approval of the lot line rearrangement and easement vacation subject <br />to dedication of new easements as described earlier. Any recommendation for approval should <br />include hardships and justification for those variances which Planning Commission chooses to <br />grant in regards to the accessory buildings on the property. <br />lsv
