TO: Planninq Commission FROM: Michael P. Gaffron, Assis'_ant 'Zoning Administrator DATE- June 13, 1985 SUBJECT: #929 Lyle Rahn, 1146 W.i.ldhurst Trail - Conditional Use Permit. Zoning District - LR-lB Request - Conditional Use Permit for an existing guest house List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Application Exhibit B - Construction Plan and Request Exhibit C - List of Property Owners Exhibit D - Plat Map Exhibit E - Survey Exhibit F - 1974 Variance Ap..,lication Documents The applicant is requesting a f�)rmal conditional use permit for a guest house located in his lakeshore yard. This structure has existed on the property since prior to 1974 when the applicant purchased the property. This structure was ie only structure on the property whin the applicant bought the property. On April 1, 1974, Mr. Rahn subm t.ted an application to the City for a variance to build a new home on he 0.838 acre lot in a 1.0 acre zone. This variance was subsequently . pproved by Council on April 22, 1974, conditioned on the existing ca)in being removed. Mr. Rahn did not obtain a permi+ for his new home within the one year time limit, and his variance expired. He '-hen in July, 1975, reapplied and was again grantee; a variance on ;:: 28, 1975 under i.he condition that the old structure be removed nin 30 days after occupancy of the new structure. Mr. Rahn subsequently obtainr d a building permit on August 4, 1975, upon which appears the natation "approved by V.C. 7-28-75 conditioned on removal of existing house". The building inspector at that time was Mike Scheller. The house would have been nearing complet;.on about. the time Mr. Scheller retired on January 16, 1976 hence it is likely that no followup ever occurred to verify that Mr. Rahn had indeed fulfilled tt conditions of that approval. In the: spr.. .g of 1985, Tom Jacobs became aware that Mr Rahn t.du already completed some remodeling on the structure, and convinced Rahn that a F^rmit was requird, Jacobs being unaware that the structure was illegally existing. Rahn obtained a permit for $25.50 rased on an $1,800 estimated ronstruction value (no plan review wss required).
