Chair Harms opened the hearing and requested Kim Lee to present a summary of the North Heights Lutheran Church request to extend their Interim Use Permit of May 1995 for a temporary building for an additional three years. Staff recommended approval of the request for a three-year extension of an Interim Use Permit to allow the continued use of one 24' x 70' temporary building for office space at 2701 Rice Street North, with two conditions. Craig Klausing asked if there was a possibility of less than three years (No). There being no further comments, Chair Harms closed the hearing. Motion: Member Cunningham moved, Member Rhody seconded, to recommend approval of a three year extension of an interim use permit to allow the continued use of a 24' x 70' temporary building for office space at 2701 Rice Street North, based on the findings and with two conditions: 1.The general location and appearance of the temporary building cannot be changed. If the building is replaced, the appearance of any new building must be compatible with the permanent structures on the property. A second temporary building would not be allowed on the site without an amendment to this interim use permit. 2.The interim use permit shall be for a period for three years and shall expire on August 30, 2001. Ayes: 7- Harms, Cunningham, Klausing, Mulder,Olson, Rhody, Wilke Nays: None Motion carried 7-0. 6b.Planning File 3021. Michael Heffernan request for a variance to allow a second detached garage at 2042-2044 Dale Street North. Chair Harms opened the hearing and requested Kim Lee to provide a review of the request for a second detached garage on the site, with a coverage of 76.5%. Mr. Heffernan would be allowed 574 square feet based on his lot size. The second garage would be used for the duplex housing. Staff found that the variance was not in harmony with the Comprehensive Plan, but the presence of the duplex creates a practical difficulty. Kim Lee illustrated a site plan with pictures. Two neighborhood letters were distributed recommending denial. Staff recommended denial of the variance, but suggested a 12' x 22' addition to the existing garage may be more appropriate. 2
