#OS-3159 4017 North Shore Drive <br /> Janaary 12,2006 <br /> Page 4 <br /> This is a pre-existing developed lot with municipal sewer available. A single family residence <br /> has existed on the lot for many years. The lot is similar in size to other developed lots in the <br /> neighborhood. Reconstruction on the property is proposed in a manner that ineets all zoning <br /> code requirements. <br /> The neighbor to the east, Dale McCurdy, has submitted a letter regarding an existing drain tile <br /> systeni that affects his propei-ty and that of the applicant. Public Service Director Greg Gappa's <br /> response is also attached. This draintile is something that must be dealt with by the applicant if it <br /> is damaged during construction, but the City will not be directly involved in replacing or <br /> repairing that private system. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does Planning Commission accept the premise that the tunnel connection does not <br /> automatically result in the garage becoming `attached' for zoning purposes? If you reject <br /> that premise,then the tunnel cannot be allowed for this site plan... <br /> 2. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Staff Recommendation <br /> Staff recommends approval of the variances as requested, subj ect to meeting the <br /> recommendations of the City Engineer, subject to reducing the footprint size of the proposed <br /> detached garage to no greater than 750 s.f., and subject to a condition that if the detached garage <br /> is connected to the house via an underground tunnel, that connection will not be allowed to <br /> extend above grade. <br />
