KINCAID CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT -APPEAL
The city received an appeal with regard to the Planning Commission's granting of a conditional use permit to Ralph
Kincaid allowing him to have an apartment,appurtenant to a single family dwelling, on property located on
Westshore Drive, legally described as the Harrison Short Plat.
Mr. Biallas stated that he had three concerns with the granting of the conditional use permit - it may dilute the
integrity of the R-1 zones,the proponent is not planningto live in the building, and it may set a precedent.
Mr.Kincaid stated that none of the neighbors object to this conditional use and there are 16 condominiums on the
adjacent property.
There was considerable discussion by the Council over the fact that the property owner would not be living on the
premises but would be renting it out to two separate families,even though one of those familieswould be related
to the property owner.Itwas feltthat otherowners of R-1 property could request a likeconditional use permitwhich
could create commercial uses in the R-1 zone.It was pointed out that the request meets all the requirements for
the conditional use permit.
Action Taken:Mr.Jackson moved that the decision of the Planning Commission be affirmed,seconded by Mr.^^
Reese,and passed unanimously.
Itwas the consensus of the Council that the Planning Commission reviewthe appurtenant uses in all the residential
zones.
