Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Bjorklund asked if this was a triangulated lot and if this was the case, these lots are an impediment to development. Senior Planner Fransen stated this lot was at the end of a cul-de-sac which led to the angled side lot lines and curved front property line. She reported the applicant understands this lot was irregular which affected previous development on the lot. Commissioner Bjorklund questioned if there was access to the sides of the house to get to the rear of the home. Senior Planner Fransen explained the property to the east has a 15 foot side setback, which would allow for access to the rear yard. Commissioner Weber recommended the applicant keep a minimum of 10 feet on each side of the home. He noted he supported the request before the Commission. Commissioner Blilie indicated she supported the variance request as well. Chair Vijums asked if the driveway would be concrete. Senior Planner Fransen deferred this question to the applicant. Steve Petry, representative for the applicant, stated the driveway addition would be constructed with the same material as the existing driveway. Chair Vijums questioned why the existing two car garage was inoperable. Mr. Petry explained the size of the applicants’ cars was making the existing garage inoperable. Commissioner Weber moved and Commissioner Wicklund seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 23-008 for a Variance at 1475 Dawn Circle based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the May 3, 2023, report to the Planning Commission.
