3.0 BACKGROUND - PROPOSAL 3.1 Last winter's snow damaged the roof of Mr. Telstad's 17 foot by 10 foot (170 square foot) accessory building. In so doing, Mr. Telstad determined it would be more appropriate to replace than repair the existing accessory building. 3.2 Mr. Telstad contacted the City and was notified he would need a number of variances in order to replace the small accessory building. 3.3 The small accessory building lies on the east side of the parcel approximately one foot from the property line. Accessory structures require a minimum five-foot setback from a side or rear yard property line. 3.4 Mr. Telstad's parcel also contains a large 28 foot by 38 foot (pre-existing non- conforming 1064 square foot) detached accessory building adjacent the east property line and an attached 20 foot by 30 foot garage (north side of home) and two separate driveways, accessing Lydia Avenue. 4.0 VARIANCE REVIEW 4.1 Staff has determined that the small accessory building requires a variance from Section 1004.01A8 (Minimum Setback) because the existing structure lies approximately four feet into the required five foot setback. 4.2 Staff has determined that the parcel currently contains 1,834 square feet of accessory building area. The house footprint is 1,140 square feet, thus a variance is necessary from Section 1004.01A5 (Overall Area). 4.3 Staffhas determined that the required rear yard area for this parcel is 1,057 square feet, on which the property currently has 1,234 square feet of accessory building area. As such, a variance is necessary from Section 1004.01A3 (Detached Accessory Building Size Limit). 4.4 Staffhas determined that a variance is necessary from Section 1004.01A4 (Requirements for Increasing Maximum Size) because the two detached accessory buildings, with 1,234 square feet, exceed the conditional use permit maximum allowance of 1,008 square feet. 4.5 Staff has determined that the parcel has a maximum impervious surface coverage of 5,432 square feet. The existing improvements on the parcel total an estimated 5,546 square feet of impervious surface area for which a variance is necessary from Section 1004.01A6 (Maximum Total Surface Area).
