TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL
FROM: TERRENCE L. BELANGER, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ZONING CASE NO. 345 - APPROVAL OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT
FOR GUEST HOUSE AT 44 CHUCKWAGON ROAD AND APPROVAL OF
VARIANCE FOR LOCATION OF BARN/CORRAL AT 46 CHUCKWAGON
ROAD (MINKES)
RECOMMENDATION: This is a report of the Planning Commission approval
of Zoning Case No. 345 (Minkes). Zoning Case No. 345 has two
elements. Element number one is an approval of a request for a
conditional use permit to locate a guest house at 44 Chuckwagon Road.
Element number two is a request for a variance to locate a
barn/corral on a lot where there is no residential structure at 46
Chuckwagon Road. The Planning Commission Report and Findings is
attached hereto.
BACKGROUND: Dr. and Mrs. Mark Minkes of 44 Chuckwagon Road are the
owners of lots 21 and 22-CF. Lots 21 and 22-CF are contiguous lots
located in the RAS-2 Zone. Lot 21 (44 Chuckwagon Road) is
approximately 2.35 plus or minus acres. Lot 22 (46 Chuckwagon Road)
is approximately 3.54 plus or minus acres in size. The afore
described lots are the only two lots on Chuckwagon Road that are
located in the RAS-2 Zone. All other lots on Chuckwagon Road are
located in the RAS-1 Zone and are of about 1 to 1.5 acres in size.
Dr. and Mrs. Minkes reside at 44 Chuckwagon Road. The
property at 44 Chuckwagon Road includes a residence and a small
stable. Developmentally, the property also includes a swimming pool
and patio areas. Dr. and Mrs. Minkes made application to locate an
800 square foot guest house on their property at 44 Chuckwagon Road.
In order to accommodate the locating of the guest house on said
property, the Minkes would relocate the existing stable. The
Planning Commission conducted two public hearings and a field site
investigation as regards the guest house conditional use permit.
Following the close of the public hearing at their September 15, 1987
meeting, the Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit
for the locating of the guest house on the Minkes property at 44
Chuckwagon Road, subject to the conditions set forth in the Findings
and Report related to Zoning Case No. 345.
Dr. and Mrs. Minkes own lot 22 (46 Chuckwagon Road).
Developmentally, lot 22 contains an existing riding ring which is
approximately 11,200 square feet in size. The described riding ring
has existed on the property for several years. Dr. and Mrs. Minkes
applied for a variance from the zoning ordinance requirement that a
single family residential structure must exist on a residential lot

as a prerequisite for development of what are described as permitted
accessory uses in structures. Under the Rolling Hills Zoning
Ordinance, a barn/corral is considered a permitted accessory use to a
main residential structure in the RAS-2 Zone. The Planning
Commission conducted two public hearings and a site investigation of
the variance application. At their September 15, 1987 meeting, the
Planning Commission approved the variance embodied in Zoning Case No.
345 subject to the conditions set forth in the Findings and Report
related thereto.
As regards Zoning Case No. 345, the Planning Commission
determined that historically, lots 21 and 22 have been utilized by
their various owners as a single lot. Developmentally, the afore
stated lots have evolved as though a single lot. The Planning
Commission determined that the relocation of the existing dilapidated
stable on lot 21 to lot 22 was a logical and reasonable extension,
developmentally, of an historical land use pattern. The Planning
Commission approved the variance subject to several conditions. The
conditions are set forth in the Findings and Report related to Zoning
Case No. 345. Essentially, the conditions establish the obligations
of Dr. and Mrs. Minkes or their successors in interest if they elect
to construct a main residential structure on said lot. The
conditions also set forth the obligations on Dr. and Mrs. Minkes or
their successors in interest if lot 22 is sold or transferred. Also,
the conditions set forth the obligations of Dr. and Mrs. Minkes or
their successors in interest if lot 21 is sold or transferred.
Furthermore, the Planning Commission at the time that it considered
Zoning Case No. 345, took note of the fact that a modification
agreement between the Rolling Hills Community Association and the
Minkes had previously been entered into.
