Orleans planning commission recommends approval of two conditional-use guest houses
Summary
At a July 15 meeting the Orleans Planning and Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to recommend two conditional-use permits — one for a guest house above a garage at 13750 240th Avenue and one for a detached garage with living space at 13102 Templar Dr N — to the Board of Adjustment.
The Orleans Planning and Zoning Commission on July 15 recommended that the City’s Board of Adjustment consider two conditional-use permits for accessory dwellings attached to new garages.
Chair Tungland led the meeting, which began at 5:00 p.m. in council chambers with Commissioners Becker, Radcliffe and Rosenberg present. The first request, from Gary and Laura Malenke of 13750 240th Avenue, sought permission to build a 26-by-46-foot (1,196 sq ft) garage with a guest house above the garage. The commission’s packet noted that guest houses are allowed in the R-1 Lakeshore Residential district only with a conditional-use permit and Board of Adjustment approval. Commissioner Becker moved and Commissioner Rosenberg seconded a recommendation of approval; the motion carried, AYES 4-0.
The second request came from James W. Tucker of 13102 Templar Dr N to construct a 25-by-48-foot (1,200 sq ft) detached garage that would include living space. Commissioners discussed neighborhood concerns about a private tile, roof drainage and DNR sewage drainage; the minutes state that no further action on those drainage questions was necessary. Commissioner Rosenberg moved and Commissioner Becker seconded a recommendation of approval to the Board of Adjustment; the motion carried, AYES 4-0.
Both votes were recommendations to the Board of Adjustment, not final approvals. The minutes were submitted by P. Kay Cmelik, secretary for the commission, and the meeting was adjourned at 5:26 p.m.
