. • • � 5.2 This Conditional Use Pernlit (CUP) request has been prompted by the applicant's desire � to construct a 960-square-foot detached garage. Section 1004A1A3 (General Residential .. District Requirements) of the City Code limits the size of an accessory structure to 864 . square feet; City Code � 1004.01 A4 (Requirements for Increased Size), however, allows : for larger structures up to 1,008 square feet with a CUP. � 5.3 In a letter responding to the initial submission, Community Development staff informed �% Mr. Zack that, by virtue of the date of the submission of application materials and the � schedule of public meetings, a final approval or denial could not be provided within 60 ��+ days. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes (§15.99), the letter also noted that the City would ��'� need to extend the review time to avoid running afoul of the action deadline. �� '� 6.0 STAFF COMMENTS: ,2 13 i4 i5 16 i7 13 :9 �0 21 22 23 6.1 Section 1004.01 AS (Overall Area) of the City Code states that the combined floor area "of attached garage and detached accessory building(s) shall not exceed the exterior dimensional footprint of the principal structure, excluding any attached garage footprint." The only garage space on the property is in the existing detached structure, which would be replaced by the proposed 960-square-foot accessory building, whereas the footprint of the principal building is in excess of 1,100 square feet. 6.2 The area of the subject property is approximately 24,825 square feet; � 1004.O1A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area) of the City Code permits up to 7,450 square feet of impervious coverage on a lot this size. Existing impervious surfaces cover about 2,100 square feet, and the proposed detached garage would increase the total impervious coverage about 3,500 square feet (14% of the total lot area), even if the driveway were expanded to twice its current size. 24 6.3 It is probable that the driveway will be widened to some degree, although a driveway 25 expansion is not indicated on the site plan. And while any such expansion is outside of 2i; the scope of the CUP application, a permit will be required at the time of paving. 27 7.0 REVIEW OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT CRITERIA 28 7.1 Section 1013.01 (Conditional Use Permits) of the City Code requires the Planning 29 Commission and City Council to consider the following criteria when reviewing a CUP 30 application: 31 a. Impact on traffic; 32 33 34 35 36 37 b. Impact on parks, streets, and other public facilities c. Compatibility of the site plan, internal traffc circulation, landscaping, and structures with contiguous properties; d. Impact of the use on the market value of contiguous properties; e. Impact on the general public health, safety, and welfare; and f. Compatility with the City's Comprehensive Plan. 38 7.2 lmpact on traffic: The Planning Division has deternuned that an increase in traffic 39 volume, due to the size of the proposed 960-square-foot accessory structure on the 40 property, is unlikely.
