The following items are enclosed for your information: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Site Plan Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated May 5, 1998 Proposed findings of fact Proposed conditional use permit Notification: State Statute requires notification of the public hearing to all properties within 350 feet of the subject property. Staff attempted to notify property owners within 700 feet of the subject property. Observations: The subject property is 2.3 acres in size and is restricted to a total of 2,064 square feet of garage and accessory building space. In addition, there is a 1,200 square foot size restriction on any single accessory structure. The Aberle's currently have a 936 square foot garage. They are proposing to construct a 1,500 square foot accessory building in Which to store personal vehicles and equipment along with certain commercial vehicles and equipment. Mr. Aberle is a self- employed remodeling contractor and in accordance with Section 9.11.10 of the Rarnsey City Code, is attempting to store his commercial equipment and vehicles indoors. The conditional use permit has been drafted to emphasize that Mr. Aberle may park and store his commercial equipment at his home, but that does not give him the right to operate a commercial business from his garage. The addition of the proposed 1,500 square foot accessory building will increase the total garage space on the property to 2,436 square feet, which is a 372 square foot overage. It also rel~resents a 300 square foot overage in the size restriction for any single accessory structure. The City has approved overages in accessory buildings in the past.
