3. Public Hearing Item:
3.1 John F. Lenz Revocable Trust:
A. PUD -CUP Amendment Regarding Accessory Buildings
Associate Planner Stockman gave the planning report.
Vice Chair Thompson opened the Public Hearing at 7:05 PM.
Sherri Anderson, 13118 95th Street NE. Ms. Anderson asked for clarification of what the
third building would consist of. Associate Planner Stockman said the building would be
stick built with the outer structure being stucco and matching the home. Ms. Anderson
also asked if they would be able to build other accessory buildings on other lots.
Associate Planner Stockman said they would be allowed to have smaller accessory
buildings based on the size of their lot.
Commissioner Nichols ask about the layout and if it would change if sold to a developer.
Associate Planner Stockman said yes, it would have to be re -platted.
Commissioners discussed sizes and variances for future accessory buildings on these
parcels. Associate Planner Stockman said the lot size will determine the accessory
building size allowed. CM Heidner noted that these parcels are located in the Wild and
Scenic area and the minimum lot size would be 2 acres.
Discussion revolved around the combination of Mr. Lenz adjacent parcel to the east
with the lot which contains his home and two existing accessory buildings. This lot has
limited buildable area, if any, due to the creek. The Commission would like feedback as
to whether these two parcels together would accommodate the desired accessory
buildings without a special permit. Since Mr. Lenz indicated a desire to replat the
outlots along the river, the consensus was to investigate other options and take a look
at the whole area.
Vice Chair Thompson said that this Item will be tabled until the September 18, 2017
Planning Commission Meeting.
Commissioner Stritesky motioned to table this Public Hearing until
September 18, 2017. Seconded by Commissioner Nichols. All in favor.
Motion carried.
