Planning Commission approves accessory‑structure at 1238 Anderson Court
Summary
The Clawson Planning Commission unanimously approved a site plan amendment Feb. 11 to allow a 22‑by‑30‑foot open metal shelter for company vehicles at 1238 Anderson Court. Staff said the structure matches an existing shelter, will use parts of three parking spaces but keeps the site compliant with parking rules.
The Clawson Planning Commission voted unanimously Feb. 11 to approve a site plan amendment allowing an accessory 22‑by‑30‑foot open metal shelter at 1238 Anderson Court to house company vehicles.
Joe, the city planner, told commissioners the new shelter would be placed alongside an existing identical structure, sit roughly a foot from the side lot line and reach a maximum height of 14 feet. He said the addition uses portions of three parking spaces but “does not actually affect the site's compliance with parking requirements.”
Applicant Sean McDonough of General Oil said the white canopy that previously stood at the site will be removed and the new black metal structure “does a great job protecting our equipment from the elements.” McDonough added the company may seek pre‑approval for a matching structure elsewhere on the property in the future but said that is not planned for this year.
Commissioner Redmond moved to approve the amendment and Commissioner Scott seconded. With no conditions added, roll call recorded affirmative votes from the commissioners present and the motion passed.
The planner said there are no changes proposed to lighting or other site features, and that screening and setback standards in the BRD‑2 district are met. The commission did not attach additional restrictions; the applicant may proceed with building permits consistent with the city’s permitting process.
