Case #5: Request for a Conditional Use Permit to Exceed the Total Amount of Accessory Building Space and the Single Building Size Restriction on a Parcel; Case of William Rome Zoning Administrator Frolik stated that on April 16, 1999, the City received an application from William and Judith Rome for a conditional use permit to exceed the total amount of accessory building space and the single building size restrictions on their property at 16100 Dysprosium Street NW. Mr. Rome is proposing to construct a 2,400 square foot accessory building to provide indoor storage of personal equipment and vehicles. His property is 3.3 acres in size and City Code allows a total of 2,464 square feet of garage and accessory building space on the property; and no single building should exceed 1,600 square feet in size. He currently has a 986 square foot garage. This leaves him with a remaining accessory structure space allotment of 1,478 square feet. His proposal for a new accessory building results in an 800 square foot overage in the single building size restriction and 922 square foot overage in the total amount of garage and accessory building space allowed on the property. The exterior finish is proposed to be colored metal to match the home. Code also requires that the building be designed with soffit, fascia and eave overhang. Ms. Frolik pointed out that this property is zoned rural residential and is not anticipated to be included in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area in the near future. She noted that City Council is in the process of amending the City Code to eliminate the single building size restriction. In the past, Council has taken action that would encourage property owners to store their vehicles and equipment indoors. Ms. Frolik reported that the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on May 4, and received one written submittal from the Boy Scout Camp opposing the request, stating that the building would diminish the wilderness environment. It was noted that the subject property is heavily forested and the building will be no closer to the scout camp property line than Mr. Rome's home. The Planning Commission recommended approval. Motion by Councilmember Zimmerman and seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen to adopt Resolution #99~05-095 adopting Findings of Fact//0494 relating to a request from William and Judith Rome for a conditional use permit for an overage in the accessory building size restriction and the total amount of accessory building space allowed on a parcel of land. Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Zimmerman, Hendriksen and Anderson. Voting No: None. City Council/May 25, 1999 Page 10 of 25
