PUBLIC HEARINGS/COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> 5.01: Public Hearing: Consider a Variance Request to Allow an Addition to an Existing, <br /> Detached Accessory Building Nearer the Front Lot Line than the Home at 17630 <br /> Nowthen Boulevard NW (Project No. 18-157); Case of Richard and Shirley Watson <br /> Public Hearing <br /> Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 7:02 p.m. <br /> Presentation <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating the City has received an application from <br /> Richard and Shirley Watson (the "Applicant") for a variance to allow an addition to a detached <br /> accessory building to be nearer the front property line than the home on the property generally <br /> known as 17630 Nowthen Boulevard NW (the "Subject Property"). The Subject Property is <br /> approximately 1.70 acres in size and City Code restricts the siting of detached accessory <br /> buildings to the side or rear yard of a lot when under two (2) acres in size. The existing building <br /> is 728 square feet, and the proposed addition is 728 square feet; the proposed building would be <br /> 1,456 square feet. <br /> Citizen Input <br /> Commissioner VanScoy questioned what the maximum size allowed was for accessory <br /> structures. <br /> City Planner Anderson reported the applicant would be eligible for 2,400 square feet of total <br /> accessory structure for the space and right now the site would have approximately 2,000 square <br /> feet. <br /> Richard Watson, 17630 Nowthen Boulevard NW, explained he built his home 50 years ago and <br /> added the detached garage years later. He explained the new garage would allow him the space <br /> to have a woodshop. <br /> Planning Commission/November 1,2018 <br /> Page 2 of 12 <br /> _ t <br />
