Consideration of a Special Use Permit and Nonconforming Use Permit to allow <br />construction of a detached garage in excess of 624 SF at 703 4th Avenue NW. <br />Report No.13 -152. Resolution No.13 -049. <br />City Planner Janice Gundlach reported the applicant, Todd Martenson, is requesting a Special <br />Use Permit to allow construction of a detached garage in excess of 624 square feet. In <br />addition, a Nonconforming Use Permit is required because the home's existing front yard <br />setback and side street setback are less than required by code. She noted the property was <br />zoned R-1 A. The existing front yard setback is 21' and the existing side street setback is 8' <br />when 30' is normally required. The existing detached garage also does not meet the required <br />30' side street setback either, but was likely constructed prior to 1982 when the side street <br />setback requirement was only 15', thus making it conforming. The original home was <br />constructed in 1890. The applicant will be removing an existing shed in conjunction with <br />construction of the proposed 952 square foot garage. The proposed garage would have access <br />off the existing alleyway from the east. <br />Planner Gundlach explained the applicant initially applied for a building permit to construct a <br />large addition to the existing detached garage. After advising the applicant of the accessory <br />structure regulations of Section 4 -530, the applicant revised his request and made application <br />for a Special Use Permit. Sometime in mid -May, the applicant paved a small section of <br />concrete driveway in the front yard. It is suspected this was for access to the previously <br />planned garage and it is unclear if the applicant proposes to keep this driveway, being the <br />revised plans show driveway access off the alleyway. The detached garage would not be used <br />for a home occupation. Staff explained the Planning Commission met on June 18th and <br />recommended approval of the Special Use Permit and Nonconforming Use Permit, subject to <br />the following conditions: <br />9.
