Chairman Troy Duncan opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a summary of the project report dated March 6,2002. The City Planner explained Mr. Robert Lichtscheidl has applied for a Conditional Use Permits to allow the construction of a 1,008 square foot (24 foot by 42 foot) accessory building (detached garage) in the rear yard of his property located at 2550 Western Avenue. This is a very large lot, zoned R-l, and is oflow density. He explained that the Lichtscheidl parcel is large for a residential lot at 37,634 square feet (100 feet wide by 376 feet deep or 0.86 acres). Residential lots located to the north and west are of a similar size, while the lots located to the south and southwest are of a more standard residential variety (85 to 100 feet wide by 110 to 130 feet deep); The proposed structure will be constructed with a wall height of eight feet; a gable roof with a 4/12 pitch truss; similar asphalt shingles to that of the home; similar vinyl lap siding to that of the home; and a steel or aluminum soffit/fascia; The staff has reviewed the Conditional Use Permit criteria and determined there are no significant impacts and the owner meets or exceeds building and site requirements. The City Planner reviewed the staff recommendation of approval with conditions as stated in Section 7 of the project report dated March 6, 2002. Member Mulder asked for the size of the existing accessory buildings on the lot; does the 608 sq.ft. get added to the permitted existing garden shed? No variance is needed? Has the City prohibited second buildings on small lots? (Yes) Member Traynor asked if landscaping or tree planting could be required to mitigate the size impact (Yes). Member Olson asked for side yard setback requirement (5 feet). Member Cunningham asked if 5 feet is sufficient setbacks for landscaping (depends on the type of landscaping). Member Traynor noted a letter to the City Planner from Paul McDougall (March 3,2002) asked if the property could be used for repairing or selling vehicles? (Not as a business from garage). Mr. Lichtscheidl stated that the new building will affect evergreens (two on the north side) and he will move the 7' x 12' garden shed. Mr. Lichtscheidl responded to Member Wilke's question that he would add landscaping.
