~ ~~HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: July 14, 2008 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Meagan Beekman, Planner I # SUBJECT: Planning Case #08-018 Site Plan Review Jeffery Beard 1924 Grant Road Request Motion to approve Planning Case 08-018 for a Site Plan Review to construct a 988 square foot detached garage at 1924 Grant Road, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the eight conditions in the July 14, 2008, report to the City Council. Back!!round The applicant owns the property located at 1924 Grant Road. He is proposing to demolish his existing 450 square foot garage and build a 988 square foot detached garage in his rear yard. No variances are required for the proposed detached garage. The Zoning Code permits up to two accessory structures on a property provided that neither exceeds 728 square feet in size. In addition, Section 1325.01 Subd. 7 of the City's Zoning Code allows for a sil1gle accessory structure, not to exceed 1,458 square feet, if approved through a Site Plan Review. The proposed garage would be ten feet from the nearest side property line and fifteen feet from the rear property line. The garage would not exceed fifteen feet in height. The siding of the proposed garage would not match that of the existing home because the applicant is planning on residing his home at a later date to match the new garage. The home was constructed in 1954, likely the existing garage was constructed at the same time. The existing garage is currently set back five feet from the side property line to the east and does not meet setback regulations, which require a ten foot setback for accessory structures.
