(1.12 acre) List of Exhibits: A Letters/Phone Calls of property owners on Big Island B Staff Report and Exhibits of 10/16/2000 Application Summary: DATE: 10/23~0i]_ ITEMNO.: { / Agenda Section: The applicant has applied for an after-the-fact variance to permit a 12' x 24' (288 s.f.) storage shed to remain on this property located on Big Island. The shed is currently located 23' from a platted, dedicated right-of- way where 3 O' is required. Planning Commission Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 3 to 3 on a motion to recommend denial of the variance to permit the storage shed to remain on the property. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission members favoring denial that permitting the storage shed to remain would set a negative precedent. These members would not have voted for the plan as is, but would favor requiring it to be decreased in size or moved to meet the required setback. It was the opinion of the Planning Commission members favoring variance approval that permitting the storage shed to remain was acceptable because only a small portion of the storage shed was in the setback; the platted, dedicated right-of-way is not and is not intended to be a developed street within Big Island; and because the building is in the most appropriate location on the lot because of the topography. STAFF RECOMl\'IENDATION: To approve the application based on staffs conclusions as voted on page 2 of the 10/16/2000 staff memo. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Moti'cm to direct staff to draft a resolution for adoption at the November 13, 2000 City Council meeting.
