Summary

Lisa Hannon told council staff recommends approval of SUP-26003 to allow a second carport at 600 North Trinity Street; the carport replaces a structure lost to winter ice and was recommended 6-0 by planning and zoning. This was the ordinance's first reading.

Lisa Hannon, planning director, presented SUP-26003 for 600 North Trinity Street and said the property has a prior carport and the proposed second carport is an addition behind the house that does not change the footprint. She told council the structure was previously in place (circa 1995 according to available imagery), was destroyed by an ice storm this winter and will be replaced in the same size and location; building permits are required and staff recommended approval following state posting and notification (17 property owners notified; two favorable responses were received).

Hannon noted the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval 6-0 and emphasized that this was the first reading of the ordinance, meaning no final action was taken tonight. "I'm here for any questions, but this is no action because this is the 1st reading of this ordinance," she said. The item will return for second reading and final action at a future meeting.
