CASE #8 <br /> <br /> REQUEST FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO HAVE A <br />SECOND PRINCIPAL DWELLING; CASE OF MR. LAZARES GILLES <br />By: Planning Assistant Sylvia Frolik <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 1985, Mr. Gilles was issued a building permit to build a house at 8201 163rd Avenue N.W. <br />The building permit included a two-story, detached, tuck-under garage. During the building <br />process, Mr. Gilles convened the upper level of the garage into what appears will be a dwelling_ <br />unit containing it's own kitchen, bathroom and bedroom facilities. Upon inspection, the Building <br />Official informed Mr. Gilles that even though the principal structure and the detached <br />garage/dwelling unit are connected by an underground tunnel, the unit above the garage constitutes <br />a second dwelling. Ramsey City Code does not allow for two dwelling units on single family <br />residential lots and to do so, would require a conditional use permit. Subsequently, Mr. Gilles <br />applied for a conditional use permit to maintain a second dwelling unit on his property. <br /> <br />On October 4, 1988, the Planning and Zoning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding <br />Mr. Gilles' request. Mr. Gilles was not present at that meeting and the case ',,,,as tabled. City Staff <br />presented the case to the Planning and Zoning Commission again on April 4, 1989. The <br />Commission recommended denial of Mr. Gilles' request to have a second principal dwelling on his <br />property. The Commission did suggest that as a possible solution to the problem, Mr. Gilles meet <br />with the Building Official to discuss construction alternatives for an above-the-ground, roofed <br />attachment connecting the principal and second dweliing units into one unit. Mr. Gilles did meet <br />with Building Official Huff and it appears that a breezeway would be a viable way in which to give <br />the structures an appearance of being a single dwelling. <br /> <br />The following items are enclosed for },our infom'mtion: <br /> <br />a) <br />b) <br />c) <br />d) <br />e) <br /> <br />g) <br />h) <br /> <br />Application <br />Site location map <br />Site plan <br />Public Hearing and meeting minutes dated October 4, 1988 <br />Memo dated April I7 from Building Official Huff to <br />Commission. <br />Proposed findings of fact <br />Proposed conditional use penrfit <br /> <br />Planning & Zoning <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Planning Assistant Frolik did some research wi~ ,' ~ ' ~. * o of <br /> · ,n.
