333, Construct Barn within the fron, Staff ReportsTO: FROM: SUBJECT: Wy Council Agenda November 10, 1986 Item #5A Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council Terrence L. Belanger, City Manager Zoning Case No. 333 - Mr. & Mrs. William Martin BECOMMENDATIOU: The Planning Commission approved a request for a Variance to encroach into the established front yard and to encroach into the minimum front yard requirement at 17 Caballeros Road. BACKGROUND: Mr. & Mrs. William Martin, of 17 Caballeros Road, made application for a Variance from encroachment into an established front yard and encroachment into minimum front yard requirements for the purpose of constructing a stable and corral area. The Planning Commission held public hearings on September 16 and October 21, 1986. Further, the Planning Commission conducted a site investigation on October 4, 1986. The applicant has requested the construction of a stable and corral in the existing front yard at 17 Caballeros Road. The area in which the proposed stable and corral are to be located is a currently. -existing narrow corral area, which does not have building structures located within it. The applicants wish to improve the corral area by increasing the overall square footage. Further, the applicants wish to build a stable within the approved corral area. In order to accomplish the expansion of the corral, retaining walls would have to be constructed. The request for a variance to the minimum front yard setback comes as a result of the need to extend one of the retaining walls beyond the 50 foot minimum setback. At the public hearings, there were no comments, written or verbal, in opposition to the applicants variance request. However, Planning Commission Allen Lay, who lives at 19 Caballeros Road, which is to the immediate north of the subject property, addressed the Planning Commission as a resident, and not in his capacity as a Planning Commissioner. Commissioner Lay subsequently abstained from voting on Zoning Case No. 333. At the close of the public hearing, the Planning Commission conditionally approved the Variance application of Mr. & Mrs. William Martin. The Commission voted 3 yes, 1 no, and 1 abstention on Zoning Case No. 333. FISCAL IMPACT: There is none.
