Mr. Hickok stated that the request is for the property located at 6291 Central Avenue N.E. A special use permit is being requested in conjunction with a variance to allow construction of an addition to an existing home. The variance was reviewed and approved by the Appeals Commission on September 12. The variance allowed the petitioner to construct the addition 7 feet from the southern property line rather than the 10 feet as required by code. The special use permit is for a second accessory structure over 240 square feet. Mr. Hickok stated there is an existing home and garage on the site. The addition is out toward Central Avenue. The property PLANNINa COMMISSION MEETINQ, SEPTEMBSR 20. 1995 PAG$__2 /�, is at the corner of Central Avenue and Rice Creek Road. The proposed addition is 22 feet x 24 feet. It is a two-car garage with a master bedroom on the second floor of the addition. A breezeway connects the new garage/master bedroom to the existing house. The code requirement for a special use permit is to protect the open space and to consider elements such as home occupations, etc., that a second large accessory building might encourage. Mr. Hickok stated staff has determined through their review that this is living space and additional garage space. The current garage is detached. Staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall construct a hard surface drive of asphalt or concrete within 12 months of the City Council's approval of SP #95-09. 2. All grading, drainage and downspout locations shall be designed in a manner which will prevent detrimental run-off impacts to adjacent properties. 3. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior �"� to construction. ,� Mr. Oquist asked if the driveway is on Rice Creek Road or onto Old Central. Mr. Hickok stated the driveway is onto Rice Creek Road and the curb cut for the driveway has already been created. Mr. Newman asked if the structure the petitioner is expanding is considered an accessory space even if it is connected by a breezeway. Mr. Hickok stated yes. The trigger is the garage. Even an attached garage is considered an accessory structure. Mr. Newman asked if there had been any comments from the neighbors. Mr. Hickok stated the neighbor had provided positive support at the Appeals Commission meeting. Mr. Saba asked the petitioner if he had any problem with the stipulations. Mr. Litwinczuk stated no.
