PLANNING REPORT <br /> <br />DATE: March 10, 2016 <br />CASE: SP2016-002 <br />SUBJECT: Special Use Permit to Permit Construction of a Detached Garage in <br />Excess of 624 Square Feet <br />APPLICANT: Evan Kearney <br /> <br />REQUEST & BACKGROUND <br />The applicant is requesting consideration of a Special Use Permit to allow construction of a new <br />detached garage in excess of 624 SF at 3001 County Road H. The property currently contains a <br />single family home with a 624 sq. ft. attached garage and a 80 sq. ft. shed. The proposed <br />detached garage will be 936 sq. ft. which brings the total square footage of attached and detached <br />accessory structures to 1,640 sq. ft. which complies with the 1,664 sq. ft. requirement. The <br />proposed garage meets the setbacks for an R-1 zoning district and the applicant has sought <br />approval from Xcel Energy to allow the garage within their easement area. <br /> <br />The applicant originally applied for this request last year. However, the item had to be delayed <br />due to the needed encroachment into the Xcel easement area. That issue has since been resolved <br />and the applicant is prepared to proceed. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />A - Resolution <br />B – Project Location Map <br />C – Zoning Map <br />D – Aerial Photograph <br />E – Neighborhood Notification Map <br />F – Applicant Narrative <br />G – Special Use Permit Criteria Worksheet <br />H – Proposed Elevations <br />I – Proposed Site Plan <br />J – Existing & Proposed Conditions Survey <br /> <br />FINDINGS <br />Section 4-530.
