The December 20, 2018 Planning Commission meeting minutes were approved as
presented.
4. Announcements
Mr. Morey stated that the February 7th Planning Commission meeting will be a work
session only. He would like to know if the Commissioners could make a 5:00 p.m. start
time.
5. Jeff Marian
Chair Kaluza opened the public hearing to consider the application of Jeff Marian for
a conditional use permit to allow an expansion to a legal non-conforming single-family
home in the RS-1, Single Family Residential District and Shoreland Overlay District,
located at 12138 – 168th Street.
The applicant Jeff Marian and Jon Wood, Project Director with Pollock Construction
presented a brief overview of the request. Mr. Marian indicated that he is requesting
to build a 2 ½ car garage along with rebuilding/expanding the back deck. Mr. Wood
commented that all setbacks will be met when the project is complete.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey
explained that the applicant has applied for a CUP to allow for the remodel of the
existing attached garage and convert it to living space and construct a new attached
two-car garage to the north side of the remodeled garage. A CUP is required, per the
Zoning Ordinance, because the non-conforming house is proposed to be expanded.

There are three non-conforming conditions, which are listed in the January 11, 2019
planning report. The garage addition will be constructed primarily over existing paved
driveway, and a new sidewalk to the front door is included in the plans. To bring the
proposed impervious surface area to 25%, part of the concrete area of the outdoor
patio/fireplace area will be removed and replaced with crushed gravel. The storage
shed will be relocated as proposed and the garage addition will meet all setback
requirements.
Mr. Dempsey stated that staff recommends approval of the CUP subject to the six
stipulations listed in the January 11, 2019 planning report and adoption of the Findings
of Fact dated January 17, 2019.
