7.04: Public Hearing: Consider Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed Accessory <br />Building Square Footage Allotment at 18055 Saint Francis Boulevard NW (Project <br />No. 22-114); Case of Trevor and Ashley Nordick <br />Public Hearing <br />Chairperson Bauer called the public hearing to order at 9:05 p.m. <br /> <br />Presentation <br />Senior Planner Anderson presented the staff report stating staff recommends approval of the <br />Conditional Use Permit, with the contingency that the membrane-type structure is removed and/or <br />converted to a more “permanent” type of structure and one of the smaller accessory buildings is <br />removed altogether from the subject property. The proposed use (indoor horse-riding arena) seems <br />reasonable based on the zoning and guidance of the subject property. The applicant has stated that <br />it would be compatible in color with the dwelling and based on existing conditions, it would be <br />somewhat screened from public view (especially considering the speed limit on Saint Francis <br />Boulevard). The total number of detached accessory buildings could be addressed via the <br />Conditional Use Permit. He noted that one written comment was received. <br />Commissioner VanScoy asked why a CUP is being used rather than a variance. <br />Senior Planner Anderson replied that an oversized accessory building is allowed through CUP in <br />the R-1 district. <br />Citizen Input <br />Trevor and Ashley Nordick, applicants, were present to address any questions. <br />Chairperson Bauer referenced the current structures and membrane structure. He asked what is <br />stored in the membrane structure. <br />Mr. Nordick replied that firewood is stored in that structure. He commented that he has 11 cord <br />of firewood and did not believe that would be desired in the riding arena. <br />Commissioner VanScoy referenced the accessory buildings onsite and asked if one is planned to <br />be removed. <br />Mr. Nordick stated that one of the deals they made with the seller of the property was to allow <br />them to store things in that accessory building for a set period of time. He stated that the sellers <br />are working to remove those items and then that structure will be removed. <br />Commissioner Gengler asked the applicant for thoughts on possibly reducing accessory structures. <br /> <br />Mr. Nordick stated that they could also remove the firewood shed and put a tarp over the wood. <br />He stated that the home was originally built in 1912 with a barn that the tack is currently stored in. <br />Planning Commission/ April 28, 2022 <br />Page 16 of 20 <br /> <br />
