Mike's Woodworking is located in the Pineview Estates 2nd Addition P.U.D. As you recall, this P.U.D. is to accommodate residences with businesses operating out of accessory buildings on the site. The following items are enclosed: a) b) c) d) e) Site location map Site plan City Staff review letter dated October 2, 1997 Draft Planning Commission meeting minutes dated 10/7/97 Proposed development permit Notification: Because site plans are not required to be subjected to a public hearing, no notification of the pending development was forwarded to area property owners. Observations: Mike is proposing to construct an 864 square foot accessory building in which to store company vehicles and equipment. The total square footage of the principal building is 2,964 square feet. The site plan notes a 144 square foot utility shed that is to be removed. The new accessory building is restricted to 30% of the size of the principal building or 1,100 square feet. Mr. Sjoquist's proposal for a 864 square foot building is in compliance with that restriction. It is also in compliance with the 35% lot coverage restriction for the commercial portion of the. property. The required setback in rural residential neighborhoods is 10 feet; the required setback in commercial districts is 20 feet. It has been the City's policy to impose commercial standards on the commercial portions of these PUD lots. Mike is proposing to locate the building 10 feet from the west property line. He states that moving the building 10 feet to create a 20 foot setback from the west property line will require moving the structure south nearer the wetland to facilitate easy drive-in access on the north side of the building. Mr. Sjoquist does not plan to building until the spring of 1998 and plans to apply for a side yard setback variance at that time. The building is proposed to be finished with vinyl siding like the principal commercial structure and the home on the property. The Planning Commission reviewed the site plan on October 7.
