Chair Swenson read the applicants request. Kenneth and Janet DeWitt have requested
approval of a Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of more than one detached
accessory building.
Chair Swenson asked the City Clerk if the proper publishing and posting had been made.
Elaine Beatty answered yes.
Mr. Kirmis - The applicants wish to construct a 26 X 36 foot (1,008 sq. ft.) detached
accessory building approximately 20 feet to the west of their single family residence. The
building is to include a 728 square foot two stall garage and 28 square foot"patio" area.
The proposed building is not to be used for home occupation/commercial related activities
or the keeping of animals. The primary issue is related to front yard setbacks. The only
structure allowed in front of your house is the garage. The proposed patio portion of the
building does lie within the front yard. The Ordinance does allow for decks etc.
(see Exhibit C attached)
