<br />Regular City Council Minutes - 9/22/03 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />garage on the property. Among other things, Mr. Welsch <br />reviewed the detailed location of property; lot size; <br />proposed accessory square footage would exceed living <br />square footage and therefore would not be in compliance <br />with City code. <br /> <br />Mr . Welsch reviewed Mr. Santanni' s original proposal, as <br />well as his revised proposal advising that Mr. Santanni <br />was at the meeting to plead his case before the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />Council questions and discussion included the preferred <br />and allowable square footage for the garage dimensions; <br />hardship considerations and current needs versus those <br />during the time the home was constructed; various <br />alternatives and required Planning Commission action (i.e. <br />Conditional User Pemut and/or Variance); impervious <br />surface coverage; and height comparisons. <br /> <br />Scott Santanni, 1019 Sherren Street (Applicant) <br />Mr. Santanni distributed a letter dated September 16, 2003 <br />as a bench handout and reviewed his request and <br />preferences. <br /> <br />Mr. Santanni stated his need for additional storage space, <br />and his request for a 1,007 square foot detached garage <br />that would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). He <br />recounted that his request was prompted by a tree falling <br />on the existing garage. Mr. Santanni proposed creating a <br />drive-through from the existing garage to the new <br />structure for access and for future accommodation. <br /> <br />Mr. Santanni reviewed the staff report, Planning <br />Commission findings and his rationale for the uniqueness <br />of his lot and request; and presented a petition from his <br />neighbors in support of the detached accessory building <br />construction as presented. <br /> <br />Mayor Kysylyczyn complimented Mr. Santanni on his <br />presentation and knowledge of the issues and materials <br />presented. <br />
