7. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />7.00: Adopt Resolution #19-257 Approving an Accessory Structure Agreement with 17710 <br />Tonto Street NW; Case of Sean and Amie O'Neill <br />City Planner Anderson reviewed the staff report and recommendation to adopt Resolution #19- <br />257 approving an accessory structure agreement for a detached accessory structure at 17710 <br />Tonto Street NW contingent upon review as to legal form by the City Attorney. <br />Mayor LeTourneau summarized that this application would meet the City code requirements, but <br />the additional agreement is in an attempt to avoid future issues. <br />City Planner Anderson confirmed that this agreement would help to ensure that there are not <br />issues that arise with future property owners as to how the space could be used. <br />Councilmember Heinrich stated that she would be interested to hear from the applicants as to <br />how the space will be used. <br />Amy and Sean O'Neil, 17710 Tonto Street NW, explained that she is an interior designer and <br />artist. She stated that this space would be used for her to complete projects. She explained that <br />she gets very dirty during that process and wanted the shower to prevent her from tracking those <br />materials into her home and personal shower. <br />Councilmember Heinrich thanked Mrs. O'Neil for that information. She confirmed that those <br />types of projects can be messy and tracked through the home. She asked if the applicant has any <br />intent to use this area as living quarters. <br />Mrs. O'Neil replied that they will not be using this space as living quarters. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if this space would be heated. <br />Mrs. O'Neil confirmed that it would be heated and noted that they are still working with the <br />electrician to determine if that would be gas or electric. She confirmed that either option would <br />be permitted appropriately. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the City record would specify that this could not include any <br />of the other classification items. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that those comments can be put on the permit but noted that the <br />accessory structure agreement is a legal document that would be recorded against the property. <br />Mrs. O'Neil stated that if they were to sell their property in the future, they would be taking the <br />studio with them and would not leave it on the property. <br />Motion by Councilmember Kuzma, seconded by Councilmember Menth, to Adopt Resolution <br />919-257 Approving an Accessory Structure Agreement for a Detached Accessory Structure that <br />City Council / October 22, 2019 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />
