Sherrie King presented an overview of their request. Ms. King clarified that they
do not yet own the home on Kingswood Drive.
Associate Planner Frank Dempsey presented the planning report. Mr. Dempsey
indicated that the house will be moved approximately nine feet to the north from

and which ones would be eliminated or reduced.
Mr. Dempsey stated that should the Planning Commission recommend approval of
the CUP for Darrin and Sherrie King, Planning Department staff recommends the 5

Chair Davis asked for comments from the Planning Commission. Discussion points
were:
• Is it okay to submit an application for a conditional use permit without being
the property owner? Mr. Dempsey stated that the signature of the property
owner on the application is necessary, which the City does have on file.
• The Planning Commission feels this is a win -win situation for the City and
the property owners with the proposed improvements to the site and the
elimination or reduction of the existing non - conformities. The Planning
Commission commended the Kings for their efforts.
11.17 Motion was made and seconded to recommend to City Council approval of the
King Conditional Use Permit to allow an expansion of a single family home with a
non - conforming setback within the Shoreland Overlay District of Lake Kingsley,
