Il. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. That the existing detached garage is now considered lawful nonconforming. That Section 9.03.14 (Non-conforming Structures and Uses) states that any legal non- conforming building/structure or use shall not be enlarged or reconstructed, but may be continued at the existing size and in the same manner of operation as existed at the date when it became classified as non-conforming. That the Subject Property is approximately 400 feet in length, and the home is approximately 290 feet from the fi'ont property line. That the existing detached garage is approximately 200 feet from the front property line. That the property is eligible for a maximum of 1,664 square feet of accessory building space. That in addition to the detached garage, there is a single-stall attached garage that is 308 square feet in size. That the Applicant is proposing to construct an addition, totaling 960 square feet (24' x 40'), on the existing detached garage. That the square footage of the proposed addition, coupled with the square footage of the existing accessory buildings, would exceed the maximum allowable square footage for the Subject Property and thus, will also require a Conditional Use Permit. That thc proposed addition would have a setback from the front property line of approximately 175 feet. That the proposed addition would exceed both the rear and side yard setback requirements. That thc eastern portion (side and rear of the property) of the Subject Property is heavily wooded with mature oak trees which provide screening from the new Alpine Acres development. That the Applicant wants to construct the proposed addition in such a location to eliminate tile need to remove mature oak trees on the Subject Property. That if tile addition were on the east side of the existing detached garage, a group of about ten (10) mature oak trees would need to be removed to facilitate the construction. That the proposed addition to the detached garage would be setback further from Sunfish Lake Blvd than the principal structures on the adjacent two properties. That along tile northern and western property lines, there are mature cedar trees that provide significant screening from the adjoining property and Sunfish Lake Blvd. RESOLUTION #04-09-237 Page 2 of 4
