CC, Anthony Froland <br />February 27, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />-------------------------------------------- <br />construct the proposed addition. The variance request is for an additional <br />six-hundred ninety three (693) square feet. <br />Conditional Use Permit Request <br />The proposed addition is located within the floodway district (F.W.). In order <br />to construct a structure within the floodway district, the applicant must <br />receive approval of a conditional use permit from the City Council. <br />All existing accessory structures on Mr. Froland's property are also located <br />within the floodway district, but have a legal non-conforming status. These <br />structures were located within the floodway district prior to the <br />establishment of this requirement upon that area. Alterations, <br />modifications, and/or additions to these structures are not allowed without <br />the aid of a conditional use permit. <br />APPLICANT'S REASON'S FOR VARIANCE <br />When reviewing an application for a variance request, staff reviews the five <br />. (5) standards outlined in the city code that apply to a variance. Mr. Froland <br />has not indicated how his request meets the five (5) standards of the variance <br />requirements. Instead, Mr. Froland has mentioned in conversation that he <br />currently owns approximately forty (40) acres and the proposed addition <br />would not be unusually large or create an unsightly structure on his lot. <br />Because of the large size of the property and the agricultural use of the site, <br />Mr. Froland feels that the proposed accessory structure addition would be <br />similar to other farmsteads in the city. <br />ANALYSIS <br />The Department of Natural Resources (D.N.R.) has been contacted in regard <br />to this item and made comments related to the conditional use permit. The <br />D.N.R. has mentioned that if the accessory structure remains a "pole type" <br />building and the exterior siding allows the free flow of water below the one- <br />hundred (100) year flood level, it may not cause an increase in the one- <br />hundred (100) year flood stage. The D.N.R. also mentioned that a condition <br />should be attached with the conditional use permit that would restrict any <br />future modification of the accessory structure. The D.N.R. is not opposed to <br />the conditional use permit request as long as these guidelines are followed. <br />• <br />cc-froland.troy <br />
