CASE REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR AN OVERAGE IN ACCESSORY STRUCTURE SPACE; CASE OF CRAIG AND RHONDA MORRIS By: Zoning Administrator Sylvia Frolik Background: Craig and Rhonda Morris raise Arabian horses for their personal enjoyment and Council approved the construction of a total of 28,659 square feet of new accessory buildings .on the 35 acre homestead to accommodate this special interest. The structures include an indoor riding arena/barn, machinery shed, and a storage building for hay. The 35 acre parcel is allowed a total of 5,664 square feet of garage and accessory structure space and Council approved the additional 28,659 square feet proposed, for a total overage of 26,395 square feet. Observations: On March 25, 1997, the City Council granted a conditional use permit to Craig and Rhonda Morris to exceed the total allowable accessory structure space on the property generally known as 16735 Nowthen Blvd. N.W. Unless an extension is granted by the City Council, the City Code states that conditional use permits are considered void unless the use is completed within 12 months of approval of the permit. The City has received a written request for an extension to the permit from Rhonda Morris. The 1997 construction season was drastically interrupted for the Morris' because of a house fire which destroyed all of the contents of the structure and the length of time taken to resolve the insurance claim. The Planning Commission met on May 5, 1998 to review the request for extension.
