Council Action: Mayor Jacobsen noted the council discussed term limits at a recent work session. Public Hearing: (A) Patrick Kinney requests consideration of a Special Use Permit to allow encroachment on the required 30' front yard setback for a front entryway addition at 2089 Mississippi Circle. The applicant requests a Special Use Permit to permit construction of a 6' x 12' front entry addition to the home at 2089 Mississippi Circle. The proposed front entry addition would encroach approximately 6' into the required 30' front yard setback, for a total front yard setback of 24'. Zoning Code Section 4- 040(3) (B)provides for a maximum encroachment of 35% of the width or the home or 12',whichever is less, when specified conditions are met. Staff has worked with the applicant to confirm that the submitted plans are in accordance with those conditions. The applicant is in the process of updating the home both interior and exterior. In conjunction with the covered front entry, the applicant intends to install new siding and a new roof. The exterior materials proposed for the entry will match the new siding and roof Zoning Code Section 4-040(3)(B) provides four conditions under which a Special Use Permit may be granted for an encroachment of the front yard setback for a covered front entry. Those conditions have been reviewed within the written report and staff finds the conditions have been met due to the following: • The proposed encroachment of the setback does not exceed 6' and the maximum width of the encroachment doesn't exceed 12'. • The proposed materials will match the home. • The roof is properly proportioned to&integrated with the existing roof • The base of the addition is not open in its appearance. Zoning Code Section 8-130 also requires review of the general health, safety&welfare standards. Staff provided a written analysis of these standards within the Planning Report and staff finds the criteria are met due to the following: .The roof addition and other associated exterior improvements will improve the neighborhood. .The front entry will not negatively impact use of other surrounding property nor will it impact property values. ■All other zoning standards are met. 1
