8.03: Provide Feedback on Potential Lot Combination at 14671 Sodium Street NW <br /> Presentation <br /> City Planner McGuire Brigl presented the Staff Report stating the purpose of this case is to <br /> provide a homeowner feedback on a possible lot combination and subsequent detached garage at <br /> 14671 Sodium St NW (the "Subject Property"). The owner is proposing a lot combination <br /> (replatting) and building a new, detached garage to store his children's vehicles on the subject <br /> property. The property owner owns both lots and has done a simple tax combination at the <br /> County, but in order to build a detached garage, would need to formally replat the properties. <br /> Staff offered the property owner the chance to receive high-level feedback from the Planning <br /> Commission before investing in application fees. She commented further on the potential lot <br /> combination and requested feedback from the Commission. <br /> Commission Business <br /> Commissioner VanScoy asked if the neighbors had been made aware of the potential lot <br /> combination. <br /> City Planner McGuire Brigl reported no formal notifications have been sent to the neighbors. <br /> She explained this would occur once the property owner submits an application. <br /> Curt Fulstrom, 14671 Sodium Street NW, stated he lives in an association and reported he has <br /> discussed his proposal with the Board. He commented the Board had not expressed any concerns <br /> regarding the lot combination. He explained he understood the new garage would have to be <br /> stick built and would have to match his home. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy indicated he was having a hard time seeing the proposed garage in this <br /> neighborhood. He stated he believed the proposed garage would be completely out of character <br /> for the neighborhood and that it would not be well received by the neighbors. <br /> Mr. Fulstrom explained he brought his request to the architectural committee within his <br /> homeowner's association and was told the lawyers would need to look over the paperwork, but <br /> was not offered any negative feedback. <br /> Commissioner VanScoy stated he would not be able to support this given the fact it would not fit <br /> in with the rest of the neighborhood. <br /> Mr. Fulstrom discussed how he was trying to rectify a problem he would have in the future. He <br /> explained his kids would soon be driving and he needed additional garage space for them. <br /> Commissioner Woestehoff questioned if the existing garage space would be converted into living <br /> space in the future. <br /> Planning Commission/April 4, 2019 <br /> Page 9 of 15 <br />
