WITHDRAWAL OF AN APPEAL FROM JOHN
CRAIG OF A DECISION OF THE ZONING
OFFICER RELATING TO DETACHED
ACCESSORY STRUCTURES
FEBRUARY 18, 1997
DATE:
INTRODUCTION:
This item relates to an appeal of John Craig of the decision
of the Zoning Officer to deny a permit application to
construct a 300 square foot addition to the existing
detached garage on the property. Mr. Craig filed this
appeal in accordance with the provision of Section 5-6-1 of
the City Code. He earlier requested that this item be
deferred for consideration until this meeting. At this time,
the Planning Department has received a written request
from Mr. Craig's attorney for withdrawal of the appeal.
BACKGROUND:
This appeal was heard by the Planning Commission on
December 9, 1996 and was originally scheduled to be heard
by the City Council on January 6, 1996. However, the
appellant requested two extensions to be on the February
18, 1997 agenda..
DISCUSSION:
Staff has been working with the applicant to reach an
acceptable means of attaching the garage to the principle
structure. The applicant has proposed to construct a
structure with a pitched roof, matching shingles, direct
access between garages, and of the same architectural
materials as the existing structures. The applicant has had
professional plans drawn and submitted as part of the
building permit application. Staff has approved the
proposed connection as it meets the City Code criteria.
ACTION REQUIRED:
None.

Subject: John Craig application for building permit
Mr. Craig has asked me to inform you in writing that he withdraws the
pending appeal of the planning department's denial ofms application for
building permit. I understand that he and city staff appear to have come to
agreement on an alternative building plan, and the hearing before the city
council may therefore be canceled.
