Rice Creek Watershed District shall review and comment on the proposed grading/drainage plan. 3. A final landscape plan must be submitted to the City Landscape Architect for review and approval. 4.

David Seaberg, 3104 Fairview Avenue North, is requesting a conditional use permit to allow construction of an addition to an existing detached garage 208 square feet in size. The addition would create an accessory building that is 987.88 square feet in size. Chair Klausing opened the public hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a summary of the project report. Thomas Paschke explained the purposes and location of the addition to the existing accessory building. He explained the conditional use permit impacts, noting that the building meets all setbacks. The staff recommended approval of the 208 s.f. addition with no further addition. Member Mulder asked for clarification of the shed vs. the accessory storage and the uses within the two structures. Member Olson asked if there should be any screening from adjacent residential structures. Thomas Paschke noted this structure is central to five lots with ten dwelling units. Member Egli asked for clarification regarding additional exterior storage or other materials; how much could be allowed based on this request. Dave Seaberg, 3104 Fairview, explained that he addition will break up (aesthetically) the space on the accessory building, which was originally the house on the site. A buffer could be created on the lot to the east which is also owned by Mr. Seaberg. The accessory building has been improved with new siding, roofing, windows and structural improvements. Mr. Seaberg maintains all ten units from this accessory building. He has 16,000 s.f. of grass on this parcel. The accessory building is completely screened from the street. Chair Klausing asked for details regarding ownership of the accessory building; is it part of 31 04 Fairview (Yes). Tim Calahan, 3062 Shorewood Lane, asked for details regarding the front of the structure. Mr. Seaberg asked for details regarding downspouts and gutters - which are only above the main doors. There is gravel and grass surrounding the site. There were no further public comments, therefore, Chair Klausing closed the hearing. Motion. Member Cunningham moved, seconded by Member Mulder, to approve the request by Dave Seaberg, 3104 Fairview Avenue, for a conditional use permit to construct a 8' x 26' (208 square feet) addition on to his existing 780 square foot detached garage, based on the findings outlined in the project report of September 8, 1999: 1. The applicant proposes a 208 square foot addition onto the existing 779.88 square foot accessory building, creating a structure 987.88 square feet in size. Staff interprets the Code to allow the existing attached 8 by 12 foot (96 square feet) structure as a shed in a pre-existing condition. Thus, a conditional use permit per Section 1004.01 A.12 of the City Code is required for an accessory structure totaling a square footage between 865 and 1,008 square feet.
