Summary

The commission recommended the City Council approve a conditional use permit allowing accessory building area to exceed 1,250 square feet at 20010 Hamburg Avenue, subject to four stipulations in the July 16 planning report; the vote was unanimous.

Rod Juston of Pinnacle Family Homes said the owner at 20010 Hamburg Avenue plans to demolish the existing house and construct a new home on the 10‑acre parcel and wants to keep a larger outbuilding. "We are currently in the process in for a building permit on 20010 Hamburg Avenue," Juston said, explaining the request to retain an outbuilding that would otherwise exceed accessory size limits in the RST‑2 district.

Planner Miss Jensen told commissioners the parcel is much larger than typical RST‑2 lots and staff had found no evidence the outbuilding required a CUP when it was originally constructed. Because the proposed new home and attached garage would cause combined accessory square footage to exceed the ordinance threshold, staff recommended approval of the conditional use permit with four stipulations and adoption of the findings of fact.

No members of the public testified at the public hearing. The commission closed the hearing and voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval. Miss Eskelson read the roll; the motion passed as presented.
