Attachments to Special Use Permit Criteria Worksheet Information 1) That the establishment, maintenance, or operations of the special use will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. Response: The proposed accessory structure meets all applicable building and zoning codes. A special use permit is required only because of the square footage of the structure. Per section 4-530, structures between 624 and 1064 feet shall be subject to approval of a Special Use Permit. The proposed building will meet all zoning heights and setbacks and comply with the Building Code. 2) That the special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood. Response: We have attempted to site the building to minimize impact to adjacent properties. The building will be in a similar style and with similar materials to the main house. The location will minimize visibility from currently occupied parcels. The most immediately adjacent lot is heavily wooded and has not had a house on it for approximately 20 years (1687 Long Lake Road). Lake site lines may be a consideration. Again, the location will eliminate any impairment of lake views from occupied parcels. The unoccupied parcel is heavily wooded currently and contains a storage garage within the site line to lake view. Views from 1687 Long Lake Road to the lake affected by this structure are impeded by trees located on the 1701 Long Lake Road property. 3) That the establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. Response: The accessory building will comply with all zoning setback and height requirements. The improvement will not affect any buildable area or otherwise impede on the improvement of surrounding property. The proposed building falls within the approved accessory building size requirements for my lot. It will not affect the overall fabric of the neighborhood adversely. We propose to restore the slopes and grass upon completion of the building project. Given the abundance of trees on my property and the neighboring property we are not proposing any special landscaping to screen the new building. The property at 1687 Long Lake Road does not currently have lake views. What lake views are possible, assuming they cut down the many existing trees, are primarily to the end of the bay. The current storage building on 1687 Long Lake Road already obscures that view from most house locations on the site. This lot has not been altered or maintained adjacent to my property
