Mr. Lind would like to utilize the detached accessory structure for storage of his commercial vehicles, private use equipment and private use vehicles that are currently stored outdoors. The Applicant is proposing exterior building materials of vinyl siding that closely matches the home and asphalt shingles. The building will not exceed the 22-foot height limit. The City has granted conditional use permits in,.the past for accessory structure square footage overages. From 1997 to 2001 the City has granted approximately 12 conditional use permits for accessory structure square footage overages. The chart below shows the lot size and square footage overage range for the past 4 years; .86 624 3,1 2,703 3.3 800 I0 10,722 '* 1.4 88 1.0 ' '556 3 928 2.3 372 .9 172 35 2~5,.~95 * * Accessory structure was used for a horse riding arena and/or other farm related activities Providing a means for lVlr. Lind to park his vehicles and equipment indoors is a substantial overage in accessory building space but it would p.ossibly resolve several outstanding code enforcement issues. In the event that Charles was not able to construct the detached accessory building he would be responsible for providing a Class V parking pad under all vehicles and screening the commercial vehicles to a degree of 75% from adjacent neighbors and public roads. Screening may consist of existing vegetation, a privacy fence or a combination of both. In the event that the property were to change ownership in the future, the excessive overage of accessory garage space on the property may be a~pealing for a commercial operation to locate on the property. The Planning Commission met on August 7, 2001 to'review the conditional use permit request and held a public hearing. During the public hearing several residents voiced their displeasure with Mr. Lind's history of accumulating private use and commercial use equipment and vehicles. The neighbors are concerned that Mr. Lind has already exhausted his accessory structure space on the property and allowing the accessory structure square footage overage on the property could provide an opportunity for Mr. Lind to accumulate additional vehicles and equipment. -348- I I I I I I I !
