Public Hearing closed.
Nix. Boardman stated that at the last Planning Commission meeting, the Commission
requcsted a legal opinion on khat to do.with this second accessory builling.
Ile had talked to Mr. Merrick and Mr. Herrick indicated that they could tie
that property legally to the other lot without any. problems as far as mortgage
problems. Mr. Merrick had indicated ,that the only way the mortgage compiny
could spread that mortgage over two lots would be if Mr. Christenson himself
signed an agreement to do so and that it would not automatically cover both
lots.
PL&N'NTNC CCUf.OUSSION Mt*ETINC JULY 23, 1: X80 — PACE 2
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Herrick felt this was the only way of tYandlin�;
a second accessory building, because it was illegal to construct a garage on. '
__ .._...__._ a_lot that did not have a main structure. `i'Iae only way to do it is through
a special use permit, but tic the two lots as one lot- which would.reyuire i
lot split before Mr. Christenson could sell off any part of the property.
Mr. Harris asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to make a
statement concerning this item. As no one responded, Mr. Harris stated that
the Planning Commission would not reopen the public hearing.
Mr. Harris stated he had thought long and hard about this and had looked at
the area, He could understand the peti.tioner's desire to build a second
accessory building and could also understand the neighbors"concerns that the
second accessory building might be used for auto body repair or repair of
automobiles, also that it might be used as a n.eighborhood sales lot. Ile
stated that if the Coninission does*recommend approval of this special use
permit, he felt some stipulations should go with 'the recommendation that would
restrict the use of that building.
Ms. Ilugbes stated that something similar had happened.in her neighborhood
xaffiere a neighbor expanded a two -car garage to a four --car garage to do auto
repair, and it has not been a problem as long as the garage door is kepi: closed.
In most instances .in these kinds .of neighborhoods, she was convinced that: the
noise and general. appearance could be controlled., but she was not in favor
of special use pi-xmit:s a.11 the time. The Planning Commission seems to
a lot of theca: She stated -that it_seemed they might be doing the neighbx•hooa
a favor by allowing; this special•'use permit to get some of the vehicles under
a roof.
Ms. Gabel stated she agreed with. 14s. Hughes. It was her feeling that: this
Naas a nice neighborhood and it might be to the neighbors' advant:at;e to get
the vehicles out of sight. Repairing cars isnot an allowed use in that
neigliborhood$ and if that is happening, it can be resolved .on a co4iplaint
basis,
'Mr. Harris stated that the Commission can make that stipulation so that the
neighbors and Mr. Christenson Icnow that the building is being built strictly
for storage and not for a home occupation of automobile repair or that type
of thing.
Mr. ldharton stated that at the last meeting,.one of the neighbors had indicated
that there.were "too many garage sales:" Ile stated that would be a hard thing
to regulate, but it- was a neighbor's concern and lie wanted to bring it up.
Ms. Hughes asked Mr. Christenson if lie had gotten any legal advice on this
procedure,
Mr. Christenson stated he had not, but- he vris not interested in the special
use pormit if it involved making one lot oui. of two lots..

Councilwom n Moses asked Mr. Christenson if he had any problem with the above
stipulations. Councilowman Moses stated that legally the City can't have a
lot that only has a garage.
Mr. Christenson stated he didn't want the two lots combined as the vacant lot
is all paid for and he has a mortgage on the.other lot. _.._..
Mr. Kerrick, City Attorney, stated the only way the City could grant a special
use permit for the garage is if it is an accessory building to a main building.
Mr. Herrick stated joining the two lots wouldn't affect the mortgage, but would
require Council approval before he can sell the lot independent of the other lot.
Mr. Oreshi, City Manager, stated a document would be filed on the lot, where
the proposed garage would be located, to indicate the lot cannot be sold with-
out prior approval of the City Council. Mr. Christenson stated he would have
no problem with this requirement.
Mr. Christenson stated if he didn't need a lot split, he would have no problem
with getting approval from the Council before he sells the lot.
Mr. Qureshi stated the City didn't want a lot with a garage only, but wanted
to make sure there would be a structure onn, the lot to go wtih the garage.
Mr. E._ri,ick stated an agreement should be ent:red into with the petitioner and
this filed with the deeds on both lots so th?.t.if a potential buyer were to
examine the abstract, he would find there is an agreement that the lot cannot
be sold without obtaining approval from the City Council.
Councilwoman Moses asked Mr. Christenson if he had any problems with the other
stipulations recommended -by the Commission. Mr. Christenson stated he had no
l problems with these stipulations.
Mr. Myron Sjostrom, 6240 Starlite Blvd., a neighboring property owner, stated
he would prefer to see the garage constructed in order to house the vehicles.
MOTION by Councilwoman Moses to concur with the recommendation of the Planning
Commission and grant Special Use Permit, SP X80-06, to allow construction of a
second accessory building with the following stipulations: (1) That the build-
ing be used for storage and as a garage for parking cars; (2) That there by no

That the property should not be used for retail sales of automobiles or auto-
