Janice Berg and Elizabeth Hawn were absent. The <br />following represented the City Staff: Assistant Zoning and Planning Administrator <br />Michael Gaffron, Public Services Director Greg Gappa, City Planner Elizabeth Van <br />Zomeren, and Recorder Sherry Frost. Council Member Kelley was present. Chair <br />Lindquist called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. <br />SCHEDULED PUBLIC HEARINGS/PUBLIC INFORMATION REVIEWS <br />( #1) #2232 - WALTER HOLZER, 1130 NORTH SHORE DRIVE WEST, <br />VARIANCE /CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT- CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC <br />HEARING 7:00 -7:11 P.M. <br />The Applicant was present. <br />Van Zomeren reported that the application is for construction of a 30'x40' detached <br />accessory structure that exceeds the height of the residence. The structure is larger than <br />• what is allowed for the lot size. Hardcover meets the requirements. The structure was <br />originally intended for use in storage materials for a home occupation, but arrangements <br />have since been made to store these items elsewhere. <br />The issues involved in the proposal include the structure size exceeding the 1000 sT <br />allowable and the office space in the building. The setback requirements would be met. <br />Van Zomeren said she has not found any other past applications that request exceeding the <br />accessory structure size for the lot size that has been approved. If the lot was larger, a <br />conditional use permit could be granted. <br />Walter Holzer indicated that he made the arrangements to store the materials for his <br />plumbing business elsewhere after discussions at the last Planning Commission meeting. <br />He now plans to use this building for hobby use and storage. Holzer requested the size be <br />approved as substantial costs have been made in preparation for a building of that size. <br />Holzer said he had not been aware of the size limitation. <br />Lindquist inquired if Holzer would be satisfied with a 1000 s.£ building. Holzer said he <br />would prefer the 1200 sT size but would acquiesce to this request if necessary. Stoddard <br />noted that the decrease in size could be accomplished by reducing the building size by 5'. <br />• <br />
