The city’s planning staff said the county brought the item back to its board and voted to deny the agreement.

\"They had some discussion about just the plan itself, which the intergovernmental agreement is based upon — it's not a good plan,\" staff said, and commissioners raised concerns about the promise of utility extensions for areas near the city. The staff member said the city and county together spent about $300,000 to develop the joint plan over two years and that the city will \"regroup\" and draft new language to attempt to address county concerns.

The planning staff said the city lacked staff representation at the county meeting when the denial occurred. Staff told the commission that any revised agreement would likely return to the planning commission for review and further comment.

No formal action was taken by the planning commission at this meeting on the intermediate-area plan; the update was informational and described next steps for staff-level work to re-engage county staff and draft new language for the intergovernmental agreement.","Planning staff told the commission that county commissioners recently denied the intergovernmental agreement tied to the intermediate-area growth plan; staff said the city will rework the draft after county concerns about the plan and utility-extension promises.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6269283,"Commission approves large accessory building at 988 Pierce Street; Board of Adjustment grants variance",1302,1394000,2696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3044592-72468095b1392cde71a7341f56bcf05f&start=1394&end=2696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3044592-72468095b1392cde71a7341f56bcf05f/thumbnail_1394000.jpg","/articles/6269283/Wyoming/Commission-approves-large-accessory-building-at-988-Pierce-Street-Board-of-Adjustment-grants-variance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269283-73817bba84f14ce120095602974ed551/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141804&Signature=fCoMq1rKznTLYyWA2b7Cd1KBIQ46F83xYZVx7sJxO1l7py5~ySU~rbISGxxcCHuswAEexA4-2ZjWdKCXPjBhVybdWi5AH9gy0i04DQh6zjjJiFrfiZZg9XvygiVA2DF-Knnr7Hki347odJf63ioXO81eJMMY0LVQhw2ChWvbZ1tfXDj2b6VlNGXSItq3gMMPy20oWb9rr~FBlcbcdWzuroubgm-gKTyJTfaqrSCzwmTrQybFgqqYD6IP3KbzOCXnCjFLgFxXNejHYaU9hNOLu128POi3la2aXKf0cBF6RydeTlt4N5MJdDn0GQQR5E4pS0Y1JCRjL1yLgu2JvI1OBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laramie Planning Commission on March 24 approved a conditional use permit for an oversized accessory building at 988 Pierce Street and, sitting as the Board of Adjustment, later approved a variance allowing the total accessory-building square footage to exceed the size of the principal residence.

Planning staff described the 6.4-acre property as atypical for the R-1 single-family residential zone: the proposed accessory buildings would total about 2,560 square feet while the home is 2,180 square feet. Staff said the parcel’s size, rural character and the presence of similar large outbuildings in the area supported approval. Staff also noted the applicant installed a fire hydrant to meet fire-suppression requirements for the proposed building.

\"The variance before you is related to the last conditional use that you just considered ... the purpose of the variance is to permit that the total cumulative square footage of the accessory buildings in the R-1 zone exceed the square footage of the principal use,\" planning staff Derek explained in the meeting record. Staff recommended approval of both the conditional use and the variance, finding the request would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.

No public comments were received at the hearing and the applicant was not present. Commissioners voted to approve the conditional use permit and later moved to grant the variance from Laramie Municipal Code Section 15-280-304 (accessory building subordinate in area to principal use). The motions passed by voice vote.

Staff emphasized the approvals are subject to standard conditions, including timely submission of building permits and continued compliance with development standards. Staff also noted the parcel’s history: the property had been proposed for subdivision in the past but the subdivision did not proceed, and earlier conditional-use approvals for similar work had expired when building permits were not pursued by the applicant.","Planning commissioners approved a conditional use permit for an oversized accessory building at 988 Pierce Street and the Board of Adjustment granted a variance allowing accessory building area to exceed the principal building's square footage on the 6.4-acre property; staff cited property uniqueness and installed fire hydrant.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6269288,"Commission approves 1,488-square-foot accessory building at 1681 Riverside Drive with removal condition",504,949000,1453000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3044592-72468095b1392cde71a7341f56bcf05f&start=949&end=1453","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3044592-72468095b1392cde71a7341f56bcf05f/thumbnail_949000.jpg","/articles/6269288/Wyoming/Commission-approves-1488-square-foot-accessory-building-at-1681-Riverside-Drive-with-removal-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269288-6bbec3f039bef2d0a695087bb02fe50c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141804&Signature=OgMhh1qxR5OCtwGBWxKpcfn1hMBhjKYKOEtan9dzKW1v07fa099Xh9OMjhqMaKRwf-ECbdO1oviM2lCusMg68JCCSxi4DXhE7GUkRHbEqj4jneMpUx8IIB2MiiT314dAULgLUyHS6ONEW4D2aCytQghn3Fwc~S0P0HjRtajZ5PE6UrSt7SeRGMzXfdRG4CAR5-IBZfsHHGYRbc1Kf00sTGBCPA8-10hS9shV6KOUvcBGgXVW02LJEaHu4wQN0v~nSOHxxIb4HHLI5wk31SxLRAVutI0AsYMFevNfxut1Rd6O-GWlS9rAcDvnXMPYJgptSTEygCDRQ7axGs6awKk7Hg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laramie Planning Commission voted March 24 to approve a conditional use permit for 1681 Riverside Drive to allow a 1,488-square-foot detached accessory building that exceeds the standard 1,000-square-foot limit for accessory structures in the city code.

Planning staff told commissioners the property, zoned RR (rural residential), is roughly 1 acre and currently has a 1,500-square-foot home and a 675-square-foot accessory building. To avoid a separate variance, staff included a condition requiring the applicant to remove the existing 675-square-foot structure within six months of commission approval; planning staff clarified the six-month period runs from the date of approval.

Applicant Tony Kuplik told the commission he has been issued a demolition permit and expects the existing structure will be removed \"in the next two weeks,\" removing the need for the longer contingency. Staff recommended approval, citing adequate setbacks, ingress and egress from a gravel driveway, lack of utilities to the new structure and neighborhood compatibility given larger outbuildings in the rural-residential district.

Public comment included support from WyoTech staff and a neighboring resident who said the applicants have been \"great neighbors.\" Commissioner Moody moved for approval; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.

The approval is conditioned on the removal of the existing accessory building within six months of the commission's approval if the applicant does not complete demolition earlier, and on all standard building-permit and inspection requirements. Planning staff said no utilities will be connected to the new building at this time.","The Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit permitting a 1,488-square-foot accessory building at 1681 Riverside Drive with a condition that the existing 675-square-foot shed be removed within six months of approval; the applicant says demolition permit is already issued.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6269294,"Planning commission OKs third accessory building at 1995 Riverside Drive",393,586000,979000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3044592-72468095b1392cde71a7341f56bcf05f&start=586&end=979","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3044592-72468095b1392cde71a7341f56bcf05f/thumbnail_586000.jpg","/articles/6269294/Wyoming/Planning-commission-OKs-third-accessory-building-at-1995-Riverside-Drive","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269294-1aad1f670543a0a99fc46a1e42f5c527/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141804&Signature=bJtUnm7lNAQKochV8rhPFP-YGfbmZ-u~-jvbBpB2ri4WzzSJ~DiKy6q7X1DHql8APKslNh73QTNpCnE3NvBeV6J9-4sNBBmtVwHiikw5LH4uzeewqLOKGjgqzZrTm98z0rW6hFV7iEwKXikaWI9q-QKRqp3zs8yg6dnhogtBO2m4giu88eo83qNdGtgrZe-79-d4fYDH3A23Dex7sJj07b~3vPpGdUkaS4JhmSwsMYMtyqEx7E-Qm~N1uq4gZybysEH3j0L9oJhq8ZyX0PlkWxi6Lhna9ym800CQXvWrWv7s9SRHd7-Y-DQOqVZ6Xw2oLhmeUT49dZA4bL4PW9SGvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Laramie Planning Commission on March 24 approved a conditional use permit for 1995 Riverside Drive that allows the property owner to build a 1,200-square-foot detached accessory building and to keep more than two accessory structures on the lot.

The vote clears a request from applicant Anthony Brown to exceed the Laramie Municipal Code limit of 1,000 square feet and two accessory structures per lot for a parcel zoned RR (rural residential). Planning staff told commissioners the 0.8-acre lot already contains a 2,553-square-foot single-family home and two accessory buildings totaling 1,152 square feet; the proposed shed would be used for vehicle and equipment storage and would not be connected to utilities.

Planning staff said the proposal meets the city’s conditional-use criteria on setbacks, ingress and egress, parking and neighborhood compatibility. \"The lot is roughly 0.8 acres,\" staff reported, and the proposed building exceeds required setbacks and fits the bulk and intensity of surrounding development, staff said. The staff recommendation was approval subject to standard conditions in the staff report.

Applicant Anthony Brown addressed the commission and thanked planning staff: \"This is the first time I've applied for one of these and I was kind of intimidated reading all the codes ... Emma was more than helpful,\" he said. Two nearby residents voiced support: Tom Schmidt said, \"I live across the street ... I support his putting up these buildings,\" and David, identified as facilities director at WyoTech, said the school supports the project and \"we want to be good neighbors.\"

Commissioner O'Toole moved to approve the conditional use permit; Pfizer White seconded. The motion passed by voice vote. The commission recorded no oppositions during the roll call following the motion.

The approval requires the applicant to meet the staff report conditions and to obtain all necessary building permits before construction begins. Planning staff said no utilities will be added to the new structure at this time.

The item will not change the property's zoning; it authorizes the specific accessory building and the additional accessory-structure allowance under the conditional-use process.","The Laramie Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit allowing a 1,200-square-foot third accessory building and more than two accessory structures at 1995 Riverside Drive; staff found the request meets municipal code criteria and neighbors spoke in support.","actionData","errors"]
