Summary

Applicant seeks to replace an existing carport with a 4,000‑square‑foot accessory building that will include an open patio and small indoor gym; staff recommended approval and noted conditions to restrict commercial or home‑business activities.

A land‑use variance (LDLVAR2025‑37) would allow an accessory structure larger than the primary residence at 6235 Lund Road. Case planner Aaliyah Anglima said the site is about 1.69 acres, screened by trees, and staff believes the proposed 4,000‑square‑foot structure will not be injurious to surrounding properties if conditions limiting use to residential storage and activities are imposed.

Applicant representatives said the new building will replace an existing open carport and that roughly 800 square feet will be an open patio area; Jonathan Kelly, the homeowner, said part of the structure will function as an indoor training space for his son. Staff cautioned that any commercial or home‑business use would be prohibited under the recommended conditions.
