JAMES AND LISA PROM (2004010) Chair Larson introduced the request by James and Lisa Prom for a conditional use permit to allow construction of an attached garage that would exceed 1,000 square feet in gross floor area, for property located at 5760 Oakview Lane North. Senior Planner Drill gave an overview of the March 10, 2004 staff report. Commissioner Anderson asked if the conditional use permit would still apply if the home was sold. Senior Planner Drill said the conditional use permit runs with the land so any new owner would automatically assume the existing conditional use permit. Chair Larson opened the public hearing. Chair Larson introduced the applicant James Prom, 12422 -54th Avenue North. Mr. Prom stated he was available for any questions. He asked if permits for the drainage issues would be required and how to proceed with that.
