Special Use Permit Application Additional Information Property Description Address: 1546 16th Terrace NW PID: 203023220025 Legal Description The East 97.6 feet of the West 361.6 feet of the South 300 feet of the North 959.3 feet of the Northwest Quarter (NW ' ) of Section Twenty (20), Township Thirty (30), Range Twenty-three (23) as measured along the North and West lines of said Northwest Quarter (NW ' ) Narrative: We propose to build a 840 square foot storage and workshop building in our back yard. The building will utilize similar materials and matching colors to the main house structure. The roofline will utilize the same shingle type and slopes as the main house. The building will have an upper storage area the same size as the lower shop/storage area. We have tried to site the building in a way that minimizes the visual impact to the neighbors. The Special Use Permit Criteria Worksheet explains how we have done this. Given the size of our lot, the distance from the street, and the hills and tree cover around this area, we believe it will have minimal impact on our neighbors. On September 13, 2020 I knocked on neighbors doors and left a letter and site plan explaining my project. I was able to speak with 4 of the six neighbors most impacted by the project. (1532 16th Terrace, and 1663 1671, and 1701 Long Lake Road. All expressed no concerns about the project and indicated they supported me building the building. I left the letter and site plan at 1550 16th Terrace and 1677 Long Lake Road. I also mailed a copy of the letter and site plan to the owners of 1687 Long Lake Road. I will be happy to report to the City planner any further comments I receive from my neighbors. In order to comply with the zoning ordinance, I propose to tear down one existing shed on my property. The roof of this structure is in good shape, and I am requesting permission to utilize this roof as an outdoor storage area. My proposal would leave the concrete slab and install posts to hold the existing roof. Since this would not be a building and not have a floor area, it should not count toward the total square footage of accessory buildings. We hope that the Planning Commission and City Council will support this improvement to our property. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about our project. Sincerely, Sara and Paul Aplikowski 1546 16th Terrace NW, New Brighton
