MEMORANDUM

To: Planning and Zoning Board Members
From: Stephen Olt, City Planner
Re: Peterson Place (611 Peterson Street), Project Development Plan -
#35-00
The Planning and Zoning Board, at their public hearing on January 16, 2003, continued
the aforementioned development proposal to February 20, 2003, to enable City staff to
resolve an issue about on -site parking for the existing structure on the front of the lot at
611 Peterson Street. At the January 16th public hearing the Board was made aware of
the fact that the downstairs portion of the structure was being rented separate from the
upstairs as a second dwelling unit, thereby making the structure a duplex residential
building.
A duplex (two-family dwelling) is permitted in the NCM - Neighborhood Conservation,
Medium Density Zoning District; however, there are additional parking requirements for
the duplex use. Since the existing residence has only one off-street parking space, the
Project Development Plan as submitted by the applicant does not provide for sufficient
parking for the existing building in its present use. Because of this, the Board continued
the item to February 20th, with the following direction:
City staff and the applicant must address the parking requirements associated
with the two dwelling units in the existing "single family" residence. Also, staff
must determine the legality of the second unit in the downstairs portion of the
structure.
On January 29, 2003, Mike Gebo, the City's Building Code Administrator, Steve Olt, the
City's project planner, and Bruce Froseth, the property owner/developer, met on the
property to inspect the structure. According to Mr. Gebo, the inspection identified an
illegal basement apartment (see attachment). Based on the City's information in the
Building Department, the structure was originally built as a single family residence and
there are no records to show that a second "dwelling unit" was approved. Mr. Gebo
explained to Mr. Froseth that he will be required to remove the basement cooking
appliance and return the building to a single family dwelling. At this on -site meeting on
January 29th Mr. Froseth did verbally agree to comply with the determination.
