Not Approved • The addition is built generally in accordance with the submitted plans attached to the Planning Report dated 8/15/2013. • The addition is constructed of like colors and materials of the existing home and roof lines are proportional to the existing roof. Commissioner Nichols-Matkaiti questioned why a Variance and Nonconforming Use Permit was required for this request. Planner Gundlach stated the Nonconforming Use Permit was needed for the existing structure and setbacks already in place that do not meet code. The Variance was needed for the proposed addition to the home,as it was not within the required setbacks. Commissioner McPherson asked if the addition would be attached to the garage. Frank Ulwelling, 706 2nd Avenue NW, explained the existing garage would be torn down and replaced in several years. For this reason,he was not planning to attach the addition to the garage. Chairperson Howard requested further information on the proposed deck. Mr.Ulwelling stated the deck would be 10 feet wide, and if the deck was pulled back 10 feet,it could only be accessed from the bedroom. He requested the deck remain as proposed to allow access from the living room. Motion by Commissioner McPherson,seconded by Commissioner Banker to close the Public Hearing. Approved 6-0. Motion by Commissioner Nichols-Matkaiti, seconded by Commissioner Banker, to approve staff recommendation. Approved 6-0. Commission Business: (A)Dental Properties, LLC is requesting consideration of a Site Plan to allow construction of a 3,3 65 SF addition to the dental office building currently under construction at 850 County Road D West. City Planner Janice Gundlach reported the applicant is requesting approval of a Site Plan to allow construction of a 3,365 SF addition to the dental office building currently under construction at 850 County Road D West. The addition will house another dental specialty clinic,but will be connected by a shared entrance to the larger orthodontic clinic that was approved in January of this year. All minimum standards have been met and a public hearing is not required. Planner Gundlach explained the building under construction currently,which was approved in January of this year,was modified slightly since the original approval in an effort to reduce costs. These Site Plan modifications were approved administratively because the building location and above ground square footage was not changing,parking stalls were not lost,and the overall noticeable effect to the approved site plan was negligible. These modifications are outlined below and are relevant when discussing the overall Site Plan: • The 2,400 SF basement was eliminated • The office space lost in the basement was transferred to the former garage space • The two enclosed garage stalls were eliminated • A trash enclosure was added to the northeast side of the building(trash was formerly proposed to be housed in the garage space) • A slight modification was done to the surface parking lot,which resulted in one additional parking stall overall Planner Gundlach reviewed the Site Plan in further detail and recommended the Commission approve the Site Plan based upon the findings of fact, subject to the following conditions: • The proposed Site Plan is constructed in a manner consistent with the plans submitted and made a part of the Planning Report dated 8/14/2013. 2
