Agenda section: <br /> CONSENT <br /> ltdm-Description: George Hernandez request for a minor variance to approve are 24x24' <br /> accessory building at 2360 Cohansey Street (PF#3025). <br /> 1.0 REQUES TED A C Tfo <br /> r <br /> 1.1 George Hemandez is requesting a minor variance to construct a 4' x 24' storage <br /> garage at 2360 Cohansey street. The size of an accesory building is limited to 5% <br /> of the required rear yard. Mr. Hernandez is also requesting the City to waive its <br /> policy of requiring a driveway to the storage building because this building will be <br /> used for"occaisional use"vehicles and equipment. <br /> Requirement Proposal variance <br /> Accessory building size 465 s.f 576 s.f. 111 s.f. <br /> (25% of req. rear yard) <br /> 2.90 BACKGR.OUND <br /> 2.1 George Hernandez owns a home at 2360 Cohansey Stvet. The property is zoned <br /> R-1 single Family Residential and adjacent land uses are single family residential <br /> to the north, south, east, and vast. <br /> 2.2 Mr. Hernandez is requesting a variance from Section 1 004.01(A): City Code, <br /> permitting him to increase the size a detached accessory bu ild ing to 4' x 24' (576 <br /> s.f.)for storage of a boat, antique cart and lawn equipment on his property. The lot <br /> is irreg ular in shape and narrows to 62 feet at the rear property line. In order to <br /> maximize use of the rear yard, Mr. Hernandez would like to construct one storage <br /> building to one side of the rear yard and minimize the impact on the rear yard. By <br /> placing the storage building in this location and not constructing another garden <br /> storage shed, Mr. Hernandez will reduce overall impervious surfaces. Because he <br /> will use the boat and vehicle infrequently, Mr. Hernandez would like the City to <br /> waive the requirement to install a driveway to access this detached storage building, <br /> since it will not be used for everyday vehicle storage. The garage will be used for <br /> storage of a boat and trailer, antique car, riding lawnmower, utility trailer, deck <br /> fumdu rye and gardening tools. The irregular shape of the parcel and the location <br /> of mature trees on the parcel creates a practical difficulty for the applicant <br /> which makes one lamer building more feasible than two smaller ones. <br /> PF#3025-INCA(05/26!98)-Page 1 of 3 <br />
