Commission approves 5,000 sq ft accessory barn at 4599 O'Brien Street
Summary
After a brief review and public hearing, the Planning Commission approved a site plan to construct a 5,000-square-foot accessory pole barn on a residence at 4599 O'Brien Street Southwest; staff said the plans meet ordinance standards and a soil-erosion permit will be required for construction near a pond.
The Walker Planning Commission on June 17 approved a site plan review for a 5,000-square-foot detached accessory storage building at 4599 O'Brien Street SW.
Planning Director Paula Preibisch explained the property is a residential use within a C‑1 zoning context that permits larger accessory commercial-style buildings only after site-plan review. She said the plans conform to setback, coverage and other ordinance requirements and flagged that a soil-erosion permit will be required because of a nearby pond.
Justin Longstreth of Moore Engineering, representing the applicant, confirmed the building is an accessory storage structure for the residence and answered commissioner questions about footprint and grading. The commission opened and closed the public hearing and voted to approve the site plan (motion recorded as Elena supported by Pat; voice vote carried).
Staff noted no additional conditions beyond the normal site-plan findings were required; building-permit stage review will address details such as a minimal exterior light over the main door and erosion-control measures during construction.
Next steps: applicant to apply for permits and obtain the soil-erosion permit noted by staff before starting construction.
