CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
Jeff Sweitzer, Architect, appeared on behalf of the Applicant.
Curtis stated the applicant is proposing to construct major additions to the existing home resulting in a
long, narrow home with an attached garage. The garage portion of the home will also serve as a
studio/workshop and contain a guest apartment. The sleeping quarters of the guest apartment are
contained within an observatory or tower which is the only portion of the home within a third level. By
strict interpretation of the Code the tower becomes a full story rather than a half story as permitted. The
applicant would like consideration as to the interpretation of this Code as well as a lot area and side yard
setback variances.
The applicant is requesting the following variances:
1. A lot width variance to allow construction on a lot 60 feet in width where 100 feet is normally
required;
2. A side yard setback variance to allow construction within the 10 foot required side setback;
3. A variance to the half-story requirement for a portion of the proposed home where the guest
apartment will be located;
4. A variance from the hardcover policy resolution requirement to provide hardcover to any garage
door;
5. A conditional use permit to allow a guest apartment.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the application as proposed. Staff recommends
approval of the lot width variance; approval of the side setback variance to allow a slightly larger
volume encroachment into the side setback for a higher roofline; and a waiver of the policy requiring
that all garage doors be provided with a hardcover driveway. The Council should discuss the half story
and make a determination as to whether or not a variance is reasonable. In addition, Staff recommends
approval of the conditional use permit for the non-rental guest apartment with the standard covenants.
Murphy stated he has reviewed the drawings a number of times . Murphy inquired how this structure fits
in with the other homes in the neighborhood.
Curtis stated the home to the east is long and wide .
White commented that it is difficult to see the other homes from this lot and that this structure does not
seem to stand out.

Curtis pointed out that there is a fair amount of vegetation on this property and that basically only the
entrance of the house is visible from the roadway.
Sweitzer indicated they are also proposing a fair amount of landscaping along the property lines to help
further screen the house.
Bremer stated she likes the variation in the roof elevation.
Curtis noted the house does meet the City's 30 foot height restriction.
McMillan pointed out that technically the whole length of the house could be constructed as the height
of the peak and that the decrease in the height helps to reduce the massing on the lot.
Sweitzer stated the property owner has spoken with the two adjoining property owners and that they are
not opposed to the project.
White stated in his view the tower is reasonable since it helps to reduce the massing.
Rahn moved, McMillan seconded, to direct Staff to draft a resolution approving the variances and
conditional use permit as outlined in Stafrs report dated April 3, 2007, for the property located at
3135 Casco Circle. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0.

PLAN: EW LOTS
Judson Dayton, Applicant; John Winston, Attorney-at-Law appearing on behalf of Judson Dayton; Paul
Zislow, Attorney-at-Law appearing on behalf of Lisa Dayton, were present.
Gaffron noted this is a sketch plan review and that the applicant is proposing to combine the three
existing tax parcels and subdivide the property to create three new two plus acre building lots and one
large parcel for the existing residence, caretaker house and horse barn. The four lots are proposed to be
served by two private driveway outlots over the two existing driveway accesses onto Old Crystal Bay
Road. The easterly of the two existing smaller parcels contains a cabin. The westerly of the smaller
parcels contains a variety of small outbuildings near the lakeshore.
Each of the four lots abuts the lakeshore of Maxwell Bay and each exceeds two dry buildable acres in
area and 200 feet in width measured at the shoreline and at the 75-foot lakeshore setback line. Lots 1, 3,
and 4 have functional lot widths of 170 to 190 feet, leaving a potential buildable width of 110 to 130
feet once the 30-foot side setbacks are accounted for.
Lot 2 abuts a public or private road. Lot 1 is proposed to access Old Crystal Bay Road via proposed
Outlot B, a variable-width corridor in which exists a driveway that would also serve Lot 2. Lots 3 and 4
are proposed to gain access to Old Crystal Bay Road via Outlot A, a proposed 30 foot corridor in which
exists a second driveway.
Based on the definition of"back lot" and the standards of Section 82-256, Lots 1, 3, and 4 would be
considered as back lots until or unless they abut an acceptable private or public road. The minimum

Turner stated under the floodplain regulations, the applicants are required to create storage capacity and
that those plans are reviewed by both the City and the Minnehaha Water. Shed District.
Vogstrom stated the latest grading plan does address those issues raised by Staff.
Turner noted the City Engineer's comments are regarding the first plan and not the plan that is before
the Planning Commission.
Vogstrom indicated they will redesign the house in an attempt to meet the concerns raised by the
Planning Commission.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to require the hardcover be reduced below 3,000
square feet.

Milo Thompson, Applicant, and Jeffrey Sweitzer, Architect, were present.
Curtis stated the applicant is requesting the following variances in order to construct extensive additions
to the existing home:
1. Lot width variance to allow construction on a lot 60 feet in width where 100 feet is normally
required ;
2. Side yard setback variance to allow construction within the 10 foot required side setback. The
additions are proposed to be constructed above ex isting portions of the home with an eight-foot
side yard setback where a ten-foot setback is normally required;

3. A variance to the half-story requirement for a portion of the proposed home where the guest
apartment will be located;
4. A variance from the Hardcover Policy Resolution requirement to provide hardcover to any
garage door.
In addition, the applicants are requesting a conditional use permit to allow a guest apartment.
Staff recommends approval of the side setback variance to allow a slightly larger volume encroachment
into the side setback for a higher roofline. The Planning Commission should discuss the half-story and
make a recommendation to the applicants and to the City Council.
Further, the Planning Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the non-rental guest
apartment with the following stipulations:
1. The one main access to the principal residence should be maintained.
2. The utilities for the guest apartment shall not be metered separately from the principal residence
and the apartment shall not have a separate street address.
3. No rental of the guest apartment shall be permitted.
Thompson stated the existing two ends of the house have been constructed out of solid concrete and are
very solid. Thompson stated those two ends would remain, with the pitch of the roof being changed.
The house has been designed to be a retirement house and also to accommodate his children and
grandchildren.
Thompson stated currently there is a detached garage with a sloping sidewalk that becomes icy in the
wintertime. Thompson stated they have attempted to eliminate as many steps as possible and to design
the steps to be able to be negotiated by a chair lift. Thompson stated the guest apartment could possibly
house a caretaker or visitors.
Thompson noted they have kept within the City's hardcover limits and that the house does conform to
the City's height regulation. Thompson stated the house is long and narrow due to the lot and has been
designed to meet their needs as they grow older.
Acting Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 8:55 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.
Acting Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 8:55 p.m.
Thompson stated there are two side yards that will be turned into garden and flower beds.

Sweitzer pointed out the ramp and landscaping areas on the overhead.
Thompson stated the property is well screened by a row of six foot arborvitae and has a large number of
trees . Thompson stated the house is not out of character with the two adjacent houses.
Kempf inquired whether anyone on the Planning Commission would be opposed to the side yard
variance.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they would not be opposed to the side yard
variance.
Kempf inquired what the total square footage of the lookout is .
Thompson stated it is 13 ' x 20 ' and that a queen size bed would fill the room.
Kroeger commented from the street side the house is well screened.
Thompson stated one tree would need to be removed in order to construct the garage.
Sweitzer indicated the existing garage is not in good condition and should be tom down. Sweitzer
stated another reason for the larger windows is to allow egress.
Kempf inquired whether anyone on the Planning Commission is opposed to the entryway as proposed.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the entryway is fine as proposed.
Kempf moved, Winer seconded, to recommend approval of Application #07-3270, Milo
Thompson, 3135 Casco Circle, granting of a lot width variance, a side yard setback variance, a
variance to the half-story requirement, a hardcover variance, and the granting of a conditional

d. The applicants' proposal meets the 30' height limitation and has
resulted in less mass on the property than would normally be allowed.
e. Because of sight visibility problems on Casco Circle, a turnaround is
necessary to safely exit the drive.
Page 2 of 6
f. The applicants' proposal is conforming with respect to hardcover
within the 75' -250' and 250' -500' zones. The 11 % hardcover
within the 0-75' zone is previously approved.
g. The property has an attached garage and adequate outdoor parking to
serve a 4 bedroom residence.
h. The property has access to public sanitary sewer; septic system
capacity isn't an issue.
1. City Code states that there shall be at least one access door to the
apartment from within the principal · structure, and such door shall be
the primary access to the apartment. The access to the guest apartment
is via a staircase accessed by the home's main entry door.
J. The utilities for the guest apartment are not separate from the
residence.
4. The City Council has considered this application including the findings
and recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff,
comments by theapplicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed
variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community.
5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are
peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning
district; that granting the variance would not adversely affect traffic
conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring
property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicants, but is
necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to
preserve a substantial property right of the applicants; and would be in
keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive
Plan of the City.

Application Summary:
The applicant is proposing to construct major additions to the existing home resulting in a long,
narrow home with an attached garage. The garage portion of the home will also serve as a
studio/workshop and contain a guest apartment. The sleeping quarters of the guest apartment are
contained within an observatory or tower which is the only portion of the home within a 3rd level. By
strict interpretation of the Code the tower becomes a full story rather than a ½ story as permitted. The
applicant would like consideration as to the interpretation of this Code as well as a lot area and side
yard setback variances.
The applicant is requesting the following variances: a lot width variance to allow construction on a lot
60' in width where 100' is normally required; a side yard setback variance to allow construction
within the 10' required side setback (the additions are proposed to be constructed above existing
portions of the home with an 8' side yard setback where a 10' setback is normally required); a
variance to the half-story requirement for a portion of the proposed home where the guest apartment
will be located; and a variance from the Hardcover Policy Resolution requirement to provide
hardcover to any garage door. Additionally, a conditional use permit to allow a guest apartment is also
requested.
Planning Commission Recommendation
On March 16, 2007, Planning Commission voted March 19th to recommend approval of the
application as proposed.
Planning Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the lot width variance; approval of the side setback variance to allow a
slightly larger volume encroachment into the side setback for a higher roofline; and a waiver of the
policy requiring that all garage doors be provided with a hardcover driveway. The Council should
discuss the half story and make a determination as to whether or not a variance is reasonable.
Further, Planning Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the non-rental guest
apartment with the standard covenants.
COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED

Background
The applicant is proposing to construct major additions to the existing home resulting in a
long, narrow home with an attached garage. The garage portion of the home will also
serve as a studio/workshop and contain a guest apartment. The sleeping quarters of the
guest apartment are contained within an observatory or tower which is the only portion of
the home within a 3rd level. By strict interpretation of the Code the tower becomes a full
story rather than a ½ story as permitted. The applicant would like consideration as to the
interpretation of this Code as well as a lot area and side yard setback variances.

The existing home is a 24' x 35' one level home with a walk-out basement. The
applicant is proposing to essentially build a brand new home around the existing home
and has done some remodeling in preparation for this.
The additional volume of structure within the substandard side setback will be largely
roof truss as the applicant is not proposing an additional story on this portion of the
home, only a higher ceiling height on the home.
Half Story Analysis
The definition of "half story" is as follows:
A half story means the uppermost floor of a building in which:
I. The intersection of the exterior wall and the roof is not more than
three feet above the floor elevation, and
2. Not more than 60 percent of the floor area within the exterior
walls of the uppermost floor exceeds five feet in height as
measured from the floor to the rafters.
Floors exceeding these parameters shall be deemed a full story.
The applicant's proposal exceeds the 60% limitation and the height of the exterior wall
measurement as well. The applicant would like the Planning Commission to consider the
fact that their 2nd story within the garage meets the definition of a half-story and suggests
that the observatory is such a small percentage of the square footage that granting a
variance or interpreting the residence as a whole as a 2 ½ stories is reasonable. The
proposed home meets the 30' height limitation.

Conditional Use Permit Analysis
Parking:
FILE #07-3270
13 March 2007
Page 4 of 5
The property will have an attached garage and adequate outdoor parking to serve a 4
bedroom residence.
Sewage Treatment:
The property is served by sanitary sewer.
Entryway & Interior Access Method:
City Code states that there shall be at least one access door to the apartment from within
the principal structure, and such door shall be the primary access to the apartment. There
will be only one entry way to the guest apartment; through a staircase off of the foyer of
the main entrance of the home. The applicants proposed use of the guest apartment will
be for visiting relatives and potentially a future caregiver.
Utilities:
The utilities for the guest apartment are not separate from the residence.
Driveway Hardcover Requirement
Resolution No. 5179 established a hardcover policy requiring that "all garages likely to
be used for the storage of motor vehicles shall be provided with an apron, taper and
driveway". In the applicants design, the rear garage door is for yard equipment access
and is not intended as an access for standard motor vehicles. Staff concludes it does not
need to have a driveway.
Hardship Statement
Applicant has completed the Hardship Documentation Form attached as Exhibit B, and
should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application.
Hardship Analysis
In considering applications for variance, the Planning Commission shall consider the effect of the
proposed variance upon the health, safety and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the effect on values of property in
the surrounding area. The Planning Commission shall consider recommending approval for variances
from the literal provisions of the Zoning Code in instances where their strict enforcement would cause
undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the individual property under consideration, and
shall recommend approval only when it is demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the
spirit and intent of the Orono Zoning Code.
The applicant's proposal is for a unique home which when viewed from the side appears
to be very massive. However, in reality, the connection between the main home and the
garage/studio portion of the home is a narrow, mostly 5 foot wide hallway which leaves a
great deal of open space for yard in the middle of the lot.
Issues for Consideration
Are there any other issues or concerns with this application?

Staff Recommendation
FILE #07-3270
13 March 2007
Page 5 of 5
Staff recommends approval of the side setback variance to allow a slightly larger volume
encroachment into the side setback for a higher roofline. The Planning Commission
should discuss the half story and make a recommendation to the applicants and to the
City Council.
Further, Planning Department Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit
for the non-rental guest apartment with the following stipulations:
1. The one main access to the principal residence should be maintained.
2. The utilities for the guest apartment shall not be metered separately from the
principal residence and the apartment shall not have a separate street address.
3. No rental of the guest apartment shall be permitted.

HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM
This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application
will not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is
complete and submitted to the City.
Minnesota State Statutes Section 394.27, Subdivision 7 requires that a hardship be
demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the
property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic
situations are not considered valid hardships. In order for an application to be heard by
the Planning Commission and City Council a hardship having merit must be
demonstrated.
HOW DO I PROVE A HARDSHIP?
This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if a hardship
exists and how the variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove a hardship,
address all the relevant points listed below and answer them as clearly as possible.
Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the
variance is justified. The information the City receives is what is used in determining a
denial or approval recommendation. If you leave something out it will not be considered.
Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request (some may
not apply):
1. "The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under
cpnditions allowed by the official controls."

Dear Melanie:
We have reviewed the information for the property at 3135 Casco Circle, dated 2/21 /07. We have the
following comments with regards to engineering matters:
• Provide a single drawing containing both existing and proposed contours.
• Clearly label any trees to be removed during construction.
• Final plans should include erosion and sediment control details.
If you have any questions, please call me at (651) 604-4894.
Yours very truly,

Draft #5 -5/20/04
CITY of ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 1179
A RESOLUTION
ESTABLISHING POLICIES REGARDING
MINIMUM HARDCOVER STANDARDS
FOR GARAGES, DRIVEWAYS, SIDEWALKS, AND
SIMILAR PROPERTY FEATURES
WHEREAS, the City of Orono since 1975 has regulated the use and placement of
hardcover on land within 1000 feet of lake shorelines; and
WHEREAS, City Ordinances define hardcover as "Any structure, blacktop, or other
mate1ial which interferes to any degree with the direct absorption of rainfall into the ground";
and
WHEREAS, the City Ordinances placing limitations on the use of hardcover divide the
1000-foot regulatory zone into four tiered "hardcover zones" which are commonly referred to as
"the 0-75' zone", "the 75-250' zone", "the 250-500' zone", and "the 500-1000' zone"; and said
zones are respectively allowed 0% hardcover, 25% hardcover, 30% hardcover, and 35%
hardcover; and
WHEREAS, due to the hardcover limitations it has become common practice for
applicants for building pennits to minimize hardcover associated with driveways and sidewalks
in order to maximize the hardcover available for their structural footprint while meeting cae
established hardcover limits; and
WHEREAS, due to the hardcover limitations, applicants for building permits might
choose to not include a garage in their initial permit request, only to later request hardcover or
setback variances for construction of garage stalls; and
WHEREAS, the City has heretofore not established minimum standards for garage,
driveway and sidewalk dimensions, and consequently has been faced with proposals for garages,
driveways and sidewalks that are minimally functional or non-functional and which do not
provide for safe, efficient access and off-street parking needs; and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to avoid situations in which poor garage, driveway and
sidewalk planning results in later requests for excessive hardcover; and
WHEREAS, the City seeks to establish a balance that avoids excessive hardcover while
providing adequate functionality with regards to private garages, driveways and sidewalks, and
therefore it is in the best interest of the City and its residents to establish a policy providing
minimum standards for such features for property subject to hardcover regulations.

CITY of ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. fl 7 9
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Orono does
hereby establish the following Policies:
1. Driveways forredeveloping properties within the Shoreland Overlay District shall be subject to the
following minimum dimensional standards to allow for safety, :fimctionality, maneuverability and off-
street parking:
a. All garages usedorlikelyto be used for the storage of motor vehicles shall be provided
with an apron, taper and driveway.
b. Minimum apron width: Equivalent to outer width of garage door openings (see
diagram)
Typical:
C. Minimum apron depth: End-load:
Side-load:
d. Minimum lengthwise taper ratio: 2:1
e. Minimum driveway width: 8'
One-stall -9' minimum
Two-stall -16' minimum
Three-stall -28' minimum
15' from garage door face
20' from garage door face
f. Minimum back-up apron dimensions (ifrequired due to high-traffic road): 8' x 8'
The above standards are illustrated in the drawing attached to this Resolution as Exhibit A.
2. Driveways using pavers shall be considered as 100% hardcover.
3. "Wheel-strip" driveways will be allowed, but for hardcover calculation purposes the entire
width of the driveway (from outside-to-outside of strips) will be considered as hardcover.
4. A sidewalk extending from the driveway to the front or main entrance of a structure shall be
provided at a width of no less than 24".

CITY of ORONO
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
NO. 5 l 7 9
5. All residential site plans submitted for the purpose of obtaining a building permit for construction
of a new residence or exp ans ion of an existing residence shall inc I ude ''proo f-o f-dri veway'' and
"proof-of-garage"; i.e.sufficient infonnation to show that the hardcover necess3.Iyto accommodate
and serve a conforming 2-stall garage, attached or detached, is available regardless whether such
garage is planned to be constrncted pursuant to such pe1mit.
6. Site plans shall account for the hardcover necessary to provide the minimum landing or stairway
required by the Building Code for any door openings shown on the building construction plans. The
approval ofbuilding plans containing door openings on any story shall in no way be construed as
granting the right to a variance for hardcover to construct a deck at such opening.
7. Site plaris, driveway and sidewalk proposals which in the opinion of the Zoning Administrator do
not meet the above guidelines shall be rejected.
8. The need to provide for garages, driveways and sidewalks meeting minimum City standards shall
not be a basis for the granting ofhardcover variances; rather, the minimum garage, driveway and
sidewalk standards when considered in conjunction with the other pertinent regulations governing
site development, shall help establish the appropriate size structure for a given site.
Adopted by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota this 24th day of May , 200...!!_ by a vote ------
of 4 ayes and O nays.

9. 07-3270 MILO H. THOMPSON, 3135 CASCO CIRCLE, VARIAN CE, 8:38 -8:58 P.M.
Milo Thompson, Applicant, and Jeffrey Sweitzer, Architect, were present.
Curtis stated the applicant is requesting the following variances in order to construct extensive additions
to the existing home:
1. Lot width variance to allow construction on a lot 60 feet in width where 100 feet is normally
required;
2. Side yard setback variance to allow construction within the 10 foot required side setback. The
additions are proposed to be constructed above existing portions of the home withan eight-foot side
yard setback where a ten-foot setback is normally required;
3. A variance to the half-story requirement for a portion of the proposed home where the guest
apartment will be located;
4. A variance from the Hardcover Policy Resolution requirementto provide hardcover to any
garage door.
In addition, the applicants are requesting a conditional use permit to allow a guest apartment.
Staffrecommends appfo:val of the side setback variance to allow a slightly larger volume encroachment
into the side setback for a higher roofline. The Planning Commission should discuss the half-story and
Jllake a recommendation to the applicants and to the City Council.
Further, the Planning Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the non-rental guest
apartment with the following stipulations:
1. The one main access to the principal residence should be maintained.
2. The utilities for the guest apartment shall not be metered separately from the principal residence
and the apartment shall not have a separate street address.
3. No rental of the guest apartment shall be permitted.
Thompson stated the existing two ends of the house have been constructed out of solid concrete and are
very solid. Thompson stated those two ends would remain, with the pitch of the roof being changed.
The house has been designed to be a retirement house and also to accommodate his children and
grandchildren.
Thompson stated currently there is a detached garage with a sloping sidewalk that becomes icy in the
wintertime. Thompson stated they have attempted to eliminate as many steps as possible and to design
the steps to be able to be negotiated by a chair lift. Thompson stated the guest apartment could possibly
house a caretaker or visitors.
Thompson noted they have kept within the City's hardcover limits and that the house does conform to
the City's height regulation. Thompson stated thehouseis long and narrow due to the lot and has been
designed to meet their needs as they grow older.
Acting Chair Kempf opened the public hearing at 8:55 p.m.
There were no public comments regarding this application.
Acting Chair Kempf closed the public hearing at 8:55 p.m.
Thompson stated there are two side yards that will be turned into garden and flower beds.
Sweitzer pointed out the ramp and landscaping areas on the overhead.
Th()mpson stated the property is well screened by a row of six foot arborvitae and has a large number of
trees. Thompson stated the house is not out of character with the two adjacent houses.
Kempf inquired whether anyone on the Planning Commission would be opposed to the side yard
vanance.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that they would not be opposed to the side yard
vanance.
Kempf inquired what the total square footage of the lookout is.
Thompson stated it is 13' x 20' and that a queen size bed would fill the room.
Kroeger commented from the street side the house is well screened.
Thompson stated one tree would need to be removed in order to construct the garage.
Sweitzer indicated the existing garage is not in good condition and should be torn down. Sweitzer
stated another reason for the larger windows is to allow egress.
Kempf inquired whether anyone on the Planning Commission is opposed to the entryway as proposed.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the entryway is fine as proposed.
Kempf moved, Winer seconded, to recommend approval of App,ication #07-3270, Milo
Thompson, 3135 Casco Circle, granting of a lot width variance, a side yard setba,ck.va.riance, a
variance to the half-story requirement, a hardcover variance, and the granting of a conditional
use permit subject to the following conditions: (1) The one main access to the principal residence
should be maintained; (2) The utilities for the guest apartment shall not be metered separated
from the principal residence and the apartment shall not have a separate street address; (3) No
rental of the guest apartment shall be permitted. VOTE: Ayes 7,Nays 0.

Application Summary:
The applicant is proposing to construct major additions to the existing home resulting in a
long, narrow home with an attached garage. The garage portion of the home will also serve
as a studio/workshop and contain a guest apartment. The sleeping quarters of the guest
apartment are contained within an observatory or tower which is the only portion of the home
within a 3rd level. By strict interpretation of the Code the tower becomes a full story rather
than a ½ story as permitted. The applicant would like consideration as to the interpretation of
this Code as well as a lot area and side yard setback variances.
The applicant is requesting the following variances:
✓ a lot width variance to allow construction on a lot 60' in width where 100' is normally
required;
✓ a side yard setback variance to allow construction within the 1 O' required side setback
(the additions are proposed to be constructed above existing portions of the home with
an 8' side yard setback where a 1 O' setback is normally required);
✓ a variance to the half-story requirement for a portion of the proposed home where the
guest apartment will be located; and a variance from the Hardcover Policy Resolution
requirement to provide hardcover to any garage door.
✓ Additionally, a conditional use permit to allow a guest apartment is also requested.
On March 16, 2007, Planning Commission voted 7 -0 to recommend approval of the
application as proposed.
Staff recommends approval of the lot width variance; approval of the side setback variance to
allow a slightly larger volume encroachment into the side setback for a higher roofline; and a
waiver of the policy requiring that all garage doors be provided with a hardcover driveway.
The Council should discuss the half story and make a determination as to whether or not a
variance is reasonable.
Additionally, Planning Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit for the non-
rental guest apartment with the standard covenants.
