INTRODUCTION
On September 3, 2019 Collin Merrill, 11103 – 181st Street, received City Council approval of a
conditional use permit to allow the construction of a detached accessory building with a total
accessory building area greater than 1,500 square feet and height greater than 15 feet in the RS-2,
Single Family Residential District. The property is a 5.12-acres in area and the building is 48’ x
52’ for a total of 2,496 square feet. Including the existing 576 square foot attached garage, the
total accessory building area will be 3,072 square feet.
Last year Mr. Merrill requested and received administrative approval of a one-year extension for
the CUP until September 3, 2021 . Additional extensions require Planning Commission review
and City Council approval under Section 11-4-13 of the Zoning Ordinance .

Collin Merrill has submitted another one-year extension request (Exhibit E). He states that he
has not started construction of the accessory building because the cost has increased almost 50%
due to a shortage of materials and labor. Section 11-4-13 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that
an extension of an approved conditional use permit beyond the one year authorized by the
Zoning Administrator shall be considered by the Planning Commission and a recommendation
forwarded to the City Council. A public hearing is not required.
A copy of Conditional Use Permit 19-10 and the survey and building floor and elevations plans
approved with the CUP are attached as exhibits to this report. In his extension request, Mr.
Merrill states that he may consider modifying the size of the approved accessory building. This
would require submittal of a new conditional use permit application and plans. A new Planning
Commission public hearing and recommendation and approval by the City Council would be
required.
RECOMMENDATION
Planning Department staff recommends approval of another one-year extension to Conditional Use
Permit No. 19-10 until September 3, 2022.

> Hi Frank hope you’re doing well. So the issues I have are the cost to build my pole barn has risen By almost 50%
in cost, the material availability is minimal and on top of that my contractor is very short staffed. They are very
behind schedule from all of these factors.
> I am asking for another one-year extension to my conditional use permit due to these conditions the global
pandemic has caused.
I am hopeful to start sometime next summer. I am also considering modifying original submitted drawing. I want
the building al little longer snd wider. Nothing crazy. Let me know.
Thanks.
