Messing CUP Staff Report <br />Gem lake .City Council Page 3 <br />March 15, 2022 <br />The proposed structure size being over 1,000.SF triggers the: need for a.CUP from the. city. The site as. a <br />whole currently has:an attached garage, and a detached. shed, together totaling 728 SF. The proposed <br />new detached. accessory structure .would. have a footprint of 2,176 SF,. as well as a 680 SF covered porch <br />on the south side. <br />Other zoning requirements would be required to be met. The proposed structure would have ample space. <br />to meet the applicable setback requirements required. The applicant proposes to be 15 feet.from the <br />north side property line, and nearly 100 feet from the rear/east property line. The structure would be over <br />70 feet from the south side property line, and over 300 feet from the front property line. <br />The maximum height. permitted for an .accessory structure is 25 feet; the proposed structure would. be at <br />the maximum permitted. The RO zoning district requires a minimum of 40°Ia of the lot to. be..open space, <br />which -would equate to 60% of the lot occupied by impervious surfaces. The property, being 1..3 acres in <br />size, would have approximately 10% of the lot occupied by impervious surfaces (buildings, driveways,. <br />etc.) if %this request is approved. The extension of utilities. would have to follow city requirements; and the <br />construction would have to follow applicable building code requirements as well. <br />In discussions with city staff,. there have been a. few. recent requests for.exceeding the 1,000..SF threshold. <br />for accessory .structures. The recent CUP request for 3825 Scheuneman Road permitted a 1,440 SF <br />detached accessory structure on the property. There was also a CUP issued in 2021 for a detached <br />accessory structure on 5 Hillary. Lane, which brought the total number of accessory structures on the site <br />to more than two.and the total size of the accessory structures to a total of 1,H4 SF. A CUP was issued <br />for 1430 Goose Lake Road in 2018, to add a second garage on that property. The .second garage was <br />only 576` SF in size, though combined with theother accessory structures on the site the total square <br />footage was above 1,000:SF for the site. The property directly to the. north of our applicant,:4000 <br />Scheuneman Road; has a detached accessory structure of approximately 1,500 SF in size. Other <br />properties near our applicant's lot (4010, 4015, 4020 Scheuneman) also have large detached accessory <br />.structures currently on their sites. <br />Conditional Use Permit Criteria <br />When reviewing a CUP request, impact on the following criteria. shall. be reviewed by the city; as notes! in <br />Section 17.5.2(A): <br />1) Adjacent Uses <br />2) Air and Water Quality <br />3) Traffic Generations <br />4) Public Safety and Health <br />5) Area Aesthetics <br />6) Economic Impact on the Entire Area <br />7) Consistency with the Comprehensive Municipal Plan <br />8) Anticipated Duration of the Conditional or Interim U.se <br />Section 17.5.9(B) of the further notes that the following standards apply to new CUPs: <br />1) Compliance with all zoning and other regulations as may otherwise be. applicable; <br />2) The date or the event that will terminate the.use can be identified with certainty; <br />3) The existence of the.
