Case #2: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed the Total Accessory Structure Space and the Maximum Single Accessory Structure Size Restrictions; Case of Kevin and Mary Groothosen Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that Kevin and Mary Groothosen are requesting a conditional use permit to exceed the total accessory structure/garage space allowed and the maximum single accessory structure size restrictions on their property at 14915 Puma Street NW. The subject property is three acres in size and is restricted to a total of 2,464 square feet of garage and accessory building space. When the Groothosen's moved onto the property, they expanded the garage attached to the home from 364 square feet to 572 square feet. There also existed a 1,200 square foot Quonset storage building and a 1,800 square foot pole building. The pole building burned down in January 1997, and the Quonset building is in a blighted condition. The Groothosen's have submitted a proposal to remove the blighted Quonset hut and replace the accessory building space they lose in that demolition, along with the fire of 1997, with a brand new building that is 180 square feet less than the total of the two previous buildings. Ms. Frolik pointed out that even with the reduction in non-conforming accessory building space, the proposal still exceeds the total space allowed by 928 square feet and the maximum size of any one building by 1,220 square feet. She noted the site plan and building elevations wherein the Groothosen's are proposing a building that measures 35' x 60' with a 10' overhang on two sides, or 55' x 60'. This calculates to a square footage of 3,300 feet, but staff has drafted the findings of fact and proposed conditional use permit to reference a 2,820 square foot building. The Building Department has established a policy wherein any additional storage area gained from roof line extensions in excess of 8' are calculated as part of the building size. Therefore, in the Groothosen's case, staff credited their 55' x City Council/May 26, 1998 Page 5 of 11
