POINTS TO BE CONSIDERED:
square feet ( to be
1) The R-1 zoning regulations list the following as a
permitted use: "Private garages used in connection with
single family dwelling units and not for commercial
purposes, containing not more than 660 square feet of
floor area.".
2) The applicant proposes to add a roofed -over structure
to the side of his existing garage, and a 2 foot extension
to the front of it, bringing the total square footage
of the garage structure to 620 square feet. Although
this area in itself is not in excess of 660 square
feet, the Staff considered that the :interpretation of this
area maximum left room for doubt as to whether the
square footage should include the total area of all
the outbuildings on the property, especially in light
of previous concerns stated by the Commission arid. Council
relating to limiting the number of accessory buildings
to be permitted on residential properties. The Commission,
in fact, had examined a related question with a previous
Application for an oversized garage/patio, and had
reached a consensus that "no accessory building shall.
L exceed 75% of the area of the primary building, and the
total area of accessory buildings shall not exceed 100%
of the :door area of the primary building". Following
this statement of intent, and expanding upon it in
accord with the Commission's later comments relating
to the proliferation of outbuildings in residential
areas, the Staff elaborated on the concept for possible
inclusion in the Zoning Ordinance, resulting in the
following provision: "One accessory building up to 660
square feet in area where the primary building ground
coverage area does not exceed 880 square feet. In the
event that ground coverage area of the primary building
exceeds 880 square feet, two accessory buildings will
be permitted, provided that no one accessory building
shall exceed 75% of the ground coverage area of the
primary building, and provided that the total area of
both accessory buildings shall not exceed 1000/a of the
ground coverage area of the primary buildings".
Thus, to reiterate, the Staff had not to this time
encountered a situation such as this one with a
proliferation of accessory buildings on a single
family residential property, and in view of past
pronouncements by the Commission and Council on this
subject, felt the only proper way to handle the
situation was by review of the Commission and Council
in the form of a variance request.
2) If the variance is to be granted to Mr. Strong, it should
be made clear that the present garage structure has been
inspected and found to be nonconforming in respect to
applicable building codes, and that the entire structure
will have to conform to building codes upon completion.
The matter of the building being nonconforming as to
setback from the property line is probably not material
in this application, as the setback from the east property
line will be unchanged by the proposed construction.

Dear Sir,
This letter is to inform you, in writing, of the action
taken on Application 067049. Following is an excerpt from the
minutes of the City Council meeting of September 17, 1967.
"The Council then considered Application 067049 sub-
mitted by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Strong, requesting a variance
from Section 35-310 to permit construction of an addition
to an existing garage which would cause the total square
footage of accessory buildings on the property at 516 -
62nd Avenue North to exceed the 660 square feet permitted.
Mr. and Mrs. Strong were present to discuss the Application
with the Council, explaining that they plan to remove two
of the buildings presently on the property following the
alterations of the garage, so that the total square footage
of the garage would be 600 square feet and the total area
of all accessory buildings on the property would be approxi-
mately 808 square feet. Following discussion of the appli-
cation by the Council the following action was tam.
Motion by Theodore Willard and seconded by Gordon
Erickson to approve the variance request contained in Appli-
cation #67049 for the property at 516 - 62nd Avenue North
to permit alterations and additional construction to the
existing garage to be made, to bring the total area of the
garage to 600 square feett however, because of the number
of buildings on the property, the variance approval is
contingent upon the applicant agreeing to the following
conditioner in writings
1. The concrete block structure containing
148 square feet and the 27 square foot dog
house shall be removed within 90 days of
completion of construction of the garages
Fred Strong -2- October S, 1967
2. The altered garage structure shall be
constructed in conformance with the
building erodes of the City.
Motion carried unanimously."
