Department and Planning Commission Recording Secretary is retiring, and this will be her last

5. Justin D. Anderson
Chair Witte opened the public hearing to consider the application of Justin D. Anderson for a
conditional use permit to allow an addition to an existing non-conforming single-family home
in the Crystal Lake Shoreland Overlay District, located at 10280 Oak Shore Drive
Mr. Anderson presented a brief overview of his request.
Planning and Zoning Specialist Ryan Tessman presented the planning report. Mr. Tessman
stated that since the property is within the Shoreland Overlay District and the existing house
does not meet the minimum 10-foot side yard setback requirement, a conditional use permit
is required to expand the house. The existing house is non-conforming, but the proposed
addition will comply with all setback requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. He stated the
exterior materials of the house addition will match the existing house. In addition, the 25%
maximum impervious surface coverage will be met with the proposed house addition.
