Public Hearing: SP2009-004 Special Use Permit to Allow an Addition to an Existing Detached Garage Whereby the Total Square Footage will Exceed 624 SF at 1,062 SF. The applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit to allow construction of a 19' x 24' addition to an existing 25' x 24' detached garage. The garage is located in the northwest corner of the property and would be setback 5' from the site lot line and nearly 15' from the rear lot line. All other setbacks on site are conforming. The combined square footage of existing and proposed garage would total 1,062 SF with anything over 624 SF requiring a Special Use Permit. There are no other detached buildings on the property nor is there an attached garage. The proposed addition would be two story with car storage in the lower level and a personal work shop on the upper level. The existing garage space will be used for parking of daily use vehicles. Schiferl inquired how the rear of the garage would be accessed. The applicant replied that there is a grass area along the East side of the house, which would be used to gain access to the rear of the garage. He added that the reason he is requesting this addition is so he can park his collector car in the new addition and free up space for the cars that are used daily.
