The purpose of the <br />request was to create storage space for vehicles, equipment and other items, while also providing <br />additional storage space for special needs equipment and a handicap accessible van for a family <br />member.

The requested detached <br />accessory building was 3,072 square feet in size. Staff reviewed the site plan in detail with the <br />Commission and recommended approval of the conditional use permit request. <br />Citizen Input <br />Michael Dahlberg, 9321 169th Avenue NW, thanked the Commission for considering his request <br />this evening and for all of the assistance he has received from staff. <br />Commissioner Field asked when the two existing accessory structures were built. <br />Mr. Dahlberg estimated the buildings were built in the late 70's or early 80's. <br />Commissioner VanScoy commented the ordinance allows for 2,400 square feet. He questioned <br />why Mr. Dahlberg was requesting a building over this amount.
