Assistant Wald noted the applicant is not proposing to install a driveway to the detached building <br />since the accessory building will be used mainly for storage and not an active daily parking <br />garage. Staff is recommending approval of Jeff Hansen's request for a conditional use permit to <br />exceed the accessory building height restriction established in City Code. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />Jeff Hansen, applicant, stated he wants to build a good-looking garage in the back yard and have <br />it match his current garage. He stated he will use the same building materials as the existing <br />garage and since it will be located down the hill, only the roof will be viewed. Mr. Hansen stated <br />he just wants to match the existing garage which has a 6/12 pitch and 10 foot walls. <br /> <br />Chairperson Nixt asked if they will have an oversized garage door on this structure. <br /> <br />Mr. Hansen stated it is only 20 feet deep so an oversized truck will not fit into this garage. He <br />stated he plans to have a standard sized garage door. Mr. Hansen stated he will use the proposed <br />garage for storage of personal items and possibly to work on a hobby. He noted this height of <br />walls would also allow him to hang bicycles from the ceiling and still be able to walk around. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Kociscak, seconded by Commissioner Wivoda, to close the public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
