Motion: Member Mulder moved, second by Member Klausing, to recommend approval for construction of a garage on the property line at 2985 Lexington Avenue allowing a variance from the required front yard setback of 30 feet because of hardship not created by the current owner of the property and is due to pre-existing shape and size of the lot. Ayes: 6 Nays: 0 Motion passes. Ge. Planning File 3258. A request by Dick Maser for a conditional use permit to allow construction of a detached garage, 1008 square feet in size, on property located at 2916 Woodbridge Street. Chair Klausing opened the hearing and requested City Planner Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the project report dated September 13, 2000. Thomas Paschke stated Dick Maser was applying for a conditional use permit to construct a 42 foot by 24 foot (1008 square foot) three stall detached garage and as it was over 864 square feet in accordance with Section 1004.01 A of the Zoning Code required a conditional use permit. The garage is to replace a 26-foot by 22-foot (572 square foot) two stall detached garage. Mr. Paschke also advised Mr. Maser's proposal met the impervious surface requirement as well as the read yard coverage requirement. Mr. Paschke also advised that the applicant may use vinyl siding due to cost of construction with stucco (the home is stucco). Member Mulder expressed his concern for the conditional use permit process versus a variance process. Chair Klausing and Member Olson also expressed concern with the process. Chair Klausing recommended the Zoning Committee review and determine criteria for conditional use permit process versus variance process.
