The subject property is located at 710 North Carlsbad Street and is currently unplatted. SUBJECT PROPERTY/PROJECT DATA: Property Size 0.64 acres +/- Current Zoning Residential Single -Family (RS-3) Within an Overlay District? No Within a PUD? No Proposed Structure Detached Storage Shed (320 square feet) Lots/Blocks Unplatted Water Provider City of Owasso Sewer Provider City of Owasso APPROVAL PROCESS: According to Appendix B, Article XV, Section 4 of the Owasso Zoning Code: "The Board of Adjustment shall hold the public hearing and, upon the concurring vote of three (3) members, may grant the Special Exception after finding that the Special Exception will be in harmony with the spirit and intent of the Code, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. The Board, in granting a Special Exception, shall prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards and may require such evidence and guarantee or bonds as it may deem necessary to enforce compliance with the conditions attached." A building permit for the proposed structure must be issued within one (1) year of the date of approval, or the special exception shall be considered void unless the BOA has approved an extension. ANALYSIS: • The subject property is approximately 0.64 acres in size and is zoned RS-3. • The applicant has requested the Special Exception in order to build a three hundred and twenty (320) square foot detached storage shed on the subject property. o Section 4.6.2.f of the Owasso Zoning Code states that any accessory structure or combination of all accessory structures in an RS-3 district cannot exceed five hundred (500) square feet unless the property owner receives approval from the Board of Adjustment in the form of a Special Exception. o The subject property contains an existing accessory structure that is approximately five hundred (500) square feet in size, thus leaving no additional floor area "available" for additional accessory structures on the property. Therefore, the applicant is seeking a Special Exception to allow for the construction of a new accessory structure that would put the total floor area of accessory structures on the property at eight hundred and twenty (820) square feet (exceeding the 500 square foot total allowance seen within the Code). • According to the information supplied by the applicant, the proposed structure would be approximately forty (40) feet long by eight (8) feet wide. The proposed structure would be placed in the southwestern portion of the applicant's yard, immediately south of the existing accessory structure. • The applicant has indicated that the proposed structure would be setback approximately ten (10) feet off of their western fence/property line, and approximately twelve (12) feet south of the existing accessory structure. Thus, the setbacks outlined in Section 4.6.2 of the Owasso Zoning Code are being met. o The structure is also to be placed well outside of the lot's front setback. • Based on staff's research, the proposed accessory structure will not encroach on any filed utility easements; this further ensures that no harm will come to the general public welfare, should the proposed accessory structure by constructed as depicted by the applicant. o If this Special Exception is approved, the applicant will have to submit for a building permit and provide a survey and/or plot plan. • Letters containing notification of this case were mailed to all property owners within three hundred (300) feet of the subject property, and notification was also posted in the newspaper in accordance with State Statute. o At of the time of the writing of this memo, staff had not received any calls from citizens regarding the request. • In conclusion, Staff has determined that the request would not be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or negatively harm the intent or spirit of the Owasso Zoning Code.
