VARIANCE(S): Accessory Building Maximum Square Footage Variance 3402 North First Street
Chairman Brown opened the public hearing at approximately 6:03 p.m.
Chairman Brown stated the only item on the agenda is for a variance request regarding the maximum square footage of an accessory building. He explained they are requesting the building
be 900 square feet, which is 250 square feet over the maximum limit. He expressed it was his understanding that it is on a very large residential lot, so there should be no problems
with this exception.
Council Member Dietz related he is familiar with the lot and supports anyone who is building a nice home in that area and wants to construct a nice exterior building that will match
the primary residence.
It was confirmed the building would match the home.
Public Works Director Jim Oakley agreed it is an extremely large lot and it meets the minimum square footage, giving them plenty of room for the building. He had no objections and thought
it would be a nice addition to the home.
Council Member Dietz added he believes it will enhance the area and it will look great.
Public Works Director Jim Oakley mentioned he would like to look into increasing the square footage maximum of 650 square feet, since these variances come before the Board of Adjustment
so often.
Council Member Dietz suggested that if the lot is big enough and they are in compliance with their Bill of Assurance, it enhances the City, and he supports that. He noted that people
constructing nice buildings on their property increases the value and is a good idea.
Commissioner Montgomery asked where the building will be on the property.
Petitioner Marsha Friedman answered that it will be to the rear of the lot.
Council Member Dietz added that a few people have constructed some nice accessory buildings around there and reiterated that they are big lots that back up into the woods.
