Case #2: Request for a Conditional Use Permit for an Oversized Accessory Building; Case of Keith Schmidt Assistant Community Development Director/HRA Executive Director Frolik indicated the City has received an application from Keith Schmidt for a conditional use permit to exceed the maximum allowable square footage for accessory buildings on properties between 1 and 1.99 acres as established in City Code on the property located at 8100 151st Lane NW. The subject property is approximately 1.10 acres in size and is located outside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA). According to City Code, the property is eligible for 1,664 square feet of accessory building space. The proposed building would be 1,760 square feet in size. Combined with thc existing attached garage the applicant would have 2,244 square feet in accessory building space. This results in an overage of 580 square feet. The applicant would like to exceed the size restriction in order to construct a detached accessory building that would accommodate the storage of private use vehicles and equipment. Ms. Frolik explained there is an existing pole building and shed on the property, both of which would be removed to facilitate the construction of the new building. The exterior finish of the existing pole building consists of metal paneling and thus is considered legal non-conforming. The proposed building would be located in place of the existing pole building, which is in the rear yard, and will exceed all setbacks established in the R-1Rural Reserve District. The exterior finish of the proposed building will match that of the home and the building would not exceed the 16-foot mean gable roof height restriction. She advised the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing and reviewed the request for a conditional use permit. Motion by Councilmember Elvig, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Resolution #05- 08-277 adopting Findings of Fact #0737 relating to Keith Schmidt's request for a conditional use permit for an oversized accessory building; and to adopt Resolution #05-08-278 approving Keith City Council / August 23, 2005 Page 5 of 28
