2. The existing and proposed accessory structure is utilized for storage and maintenance of the five (5) duplexes that lie directly adjacent to 3104/3106 Fairview Avenue. Staff considers the accessory building to be associated the principal structures on the parcel identified as 3104/3106 Fairview Avenue. 3. The proposed accessory building addition will not create additional traffic nor the need for additional public facilities. With proper exterior building treatment, drainage, and landscaping, the building will not have an impact on surrounding property or values. There appears to be no impact on general health, safety, and public welfare. In addition, the project complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation as low density residential uses. 4. Conditions may be attached to the CUP that would mitigate the impact on adjacent properties including such items as increased setbacks from property lines, landscape screening, architectural color and design/materials details, drainage provisions, and limiting additional exterior storage. 5. The addition of the 208 square foot accessory building increases the site's current impervious site by 160 square feet. The allowable impervious square footage for the site (30%) is 6,978 square feet. The site currently has two twin homes with attached garages of 2,972 square feet, an accessory building of 780 square feet, a shed of 96 square feet and pavement of 3,153 square feet, for a total impervious square footage of 7001 square feet or 30.1%. 6. The proposed addition (160 square feet) increases the total impervious square footage to 7,161 square feet or 30.8% and therefore must apply for a conditional use permit. 7. The proposed addition and existing accessory building (988 square feet) is well under the maximum allowed rear yard coverage of the 1,200 square feet (40%). On this lot the 40% detached building area is calculated by multiplying the lot width (100 feet) by the rear yard depth (30 feet) and dividing this total (3,000 square feet) by the 40% allowed to reach a total allowable of 1 ,200 square feet. The addition must also conform to the requirements of Section 1004.01 A. 8. The proposed addition to the accessory building meets all applicable building setback requirements. 9. There will be no new hard surface installed as a part of this development proposal. 10. If currently not in place, all roof drainage, new and existing, must be collected in gutters and channeled to the natural drainage way within the applicant's property. 11. The exterior of the building must be constructed with materials that match materials on the existing accessory building. 12. Because of the size of the total structure once the addition is complete (987.88) and the amount of impervious square footage (30.8%) no other accessory building or tool shed(s) shall be permitted on the property, unless approved by the City Council under a variance request. 13. The maximum height (as defined in Section 1004.01) shall be 15 feet. 14. Prior to issuance of a building permit, and within 60 days after approval of the conditional use permit, the applicant must record the conditional use permit with the Ramsey County Recorder. This conditional use permit shall expire 6 months after approval if a building permit has not been issued.
