.- . STAFF REPORT DATE: July 1,2003 TO: Planning and Zoning Commissioners Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator ~ Site Plan Review - Dave Kilian, 1695 Sorel Street FROM: RE: ......................................................................... Staff received a site plan for 1695 Sorel Street. The property owner, Dave Kilian is proposing to build an accessory building to store equipment and to house an office for his business. The site plan submitted by the owner shows that the proposed accessory building will be 22 'x44' or 968 square feet. The maximum square footage for an accessory building per Ordinance #4 is 704 square feet. Mr. Kilian would need a variance to build this accessory building as proposed. Other issues that Staffhas concerns about regarding the proposed accessory building include: I. Eaves cannot overhang property line; they can encroach into the setback and/or go to the property line with City approval. 2. Drainage issues for the subject property and the neighboring property. 3. Parking issues if the City determines that the property can be designated as commercial. 4. Zero Lot Line side of structure must also be sided in non-combustible exterior siding; the building code does not allow vinyl siding on a zero lot line. 5. Occupancy issues - is it proposed to be garage, office, storage, commercial, etc. If proposed accessory building is housing a home- based business, there may be parking and traffic issues associated with the proposed use of the accessory building. 6. Applicant may be required to secure Rice Creek Watershed District approval; the proposed building needs to be 1,000 feet from a lake; 300 feet from a creek. Staff is recommending the resolution of these concerns before the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of this site plan.
