The following represented City Staff: Planning <br /> Director Michael Gaffron,Zoning Administrator Wendy Bottenberg, and Recorder Jackie Young. <br /> City Council Representative Bob Sansevere was present. <br /> Chair Hawn called the meeting to order at 6:31 p.m. <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS <br /> (#1) #01-2682 TIMOTHY F.OLSON,2510 OLD BEACH ROAD,CONDITIONAL USE <br /> PERMIT,6:31 p.m.—6:37 p.m. <br /> Timothy Olson,Applicant,was present. <br /> The Certificate of Mailing and Affidavit of Publication were noted. <br /> Bottenberg stated the Applicants are proposing to construct an accessory storage building <br /> 20' by 24' behind their residence approximately 50 feet from the side property line. A <br /> conditional use permit is required because this lot is considered a"through" lot. By Zoning <br /> Code definition, a"through" lot is a lot which has a pair of opposite lot lines abutting two <br /> substantially parallel streets and which is not a corner lot. On a through lot,both street lines shall be <br /> front lines for applying the Zoning Chapter. The lot abuts Mapleridge Lane and Old Beach Road. <br /> Bottenberg stated primary access to the residence is currently from Old Beach Road,with an <br /> undeveloped access from Mapleridge Lane. The Applicants are not proposing a new driveway. <br /> Bottenberg noted the property is sewered,with sewer location not being an issue in this application. <br /> Structural coverage and hardcover are also not an issue with this proposal. <br /> City Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit to construct an accessory building on <br /> the property as proposed,meeting all required setbacks. <br /> Olson stated he has nothing to add in addition to Staffs report,noting he has brought pictures of the <br /> property if the Planning Commission is interested in seeing them.] <br /> Hawn inquired whether this should really be considered a through lot since it is located on a <br /> cul-de-sac off of Old Beach Road and does not meet the typical definition of a through lot. <br /> Gaffron stated this is not a typical through lot and that normally a through lot would have two parallel <br /> roads with a lot in between them. Gaffron stated if the Planning Commission so desires, City Staff <br /> could amend this section of the Zoning Code to make lots similar to this property exempt from being <br /> a through lot. <br /> PAGE 1 <br />
