IV. REGULAR AGENDA
1. Case C 06 -30
Conditional use approval to construct an accessory building with ten (10) foot tall
walls and an overall height of 16 feet and to reduce the side setback from 16 feet
to six (6) feet
2100 Canyon Ridge, Lot 58 -A, Canyon Trails Subdivision
The applicant applied for a conditional use permit to construct a residential accessory structure
with a six -foot setback from an interior side property line.
The Subdivision Ordinance requires a setback that matches the overall height of an accessory
structure if the wall height is over eight feet or the overall height is over 15 feet. In this case,
the wall height is ten feet and the overall height is 16 feet; therefore, a 16 -foot setback is
required.
Section 6 of the Subdivision Ordinance allows a lesser setback through the conditional use
process if the structure is made of similar style and materials as the primary structure.
Based on the plans submitted, we feel that the proposal meets the requirements and we
recommend approval of this request.
Fourteen (14) surrounding property owners were notified of this request. One (1) responded in
favor and one (1) was opposed.
Dr. Brian Hasse, property owner, stated that the purpose for this building was to store his
pickup truck and to use the area for art and hobby purposes. Future uses might be as a
recreation, party room, or pool house with accompanying bathroom. The south facing wall will
have an exposure of eight feet. He noted that he is keeping the building in conformance with
the style and structure of the house.
Mr. Barr inquired about the deed restrictions. Mr. Odom stated that the City does not check
deed restrictions but advises the applicant to do so.
The vote was eight (8) in favor and one (1, being Mr. Barr) opposed. The conditional use
permit was approved.
