Re: 3486 Dodd Road
Dear Collin:
I have had the opportunity to review with members of our staff your proposed
building permit plans for the already constructed lean -to as well as how the adverse
possession process you recently went through affects the subject property.
The adverse possession process created non - conformities on the subject parcel by
combining two principal uses (residential and commercial) and two principal
structures (home and business) on one parcel. While the City acknowledges these
non - conformities, an expansion to either of the structures and/or the use, cannot be
allowed. Therefore, the lean -to, which was built without a building permit, must be
removed.
If you wish to proceed with the lean -to addition, it will be necessary to meet the
building material requirements, as well as bring the lot and principal uses into
conformance. This would be done by means of the Subdivision process in order to
create separate parcels; one for the home and one for the landscape operation.
In either case, a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required to allow the existing
outdoor storage on the site. We discussed this process a few months ago and I have
enclosed the associated information necessary for the CUP application.
If you have any questions regarding this decision or would like to further discuss the
Subdivision and /or CUP process, please call me directly at 651- 675 -5696.
Sincerely,
Sarah Thomas
Planner
