Richard Lundberg June 20, 1994 Page 2 e shed will be used to shelter Mr. Lundberg's horses. The attached report to the Planning Commission explains the variance request and conditional use permit request in detail. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Planning Commission concurred with staffs findings on the variance and recommended denial to exceed the maximum size of an accessory structure based on the four findings as presented by staff. The Planning Commission felt that hardship could not be shown to exceed the City's minimum standard. Mr. Lundberg will still have the ability to construct a 1,424 square foot detached accessory building to shelter his horses. The Planning Commission did recommend approval of the conditional use permit to encroach on the 300 foot setback for an agricultural accessory building. The Commission did not feel that the 140 foot setback to the neighboring dwelling would cause any problems due to the vegetative screening and the fact that the neighboring resident did not object to this request. RECOMMENDATION e Staff and the Planning Commission recommend the City Council deny the variance request to exceed the maximum size of an accessory structure in the R-1A zoning district due to the following findings: 1. This would not cause undue hardship in that the applicant would still have the ability to construct a 1,424 square foot detached accessory building for his horses. 2. The other property owners in the area are also subject to the same requirements for accessory structures. 3. The literal application of the provisions of this ordinance would not deprive the petitioner of the rights enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this ordinance. 4. The variance would not be keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. e Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval for a conditional use permit for the accessory building to be placed 140 feet from the neighboring home. lundberg.council
