2. Docket No.PZ-2021-00221 ADLS Amend: 421 S.Rangeline—Building Addition
The applicant seeks design approval for a 285 sq.ft.building addition to replace a garage that was destroyed
by a fire.The overall site is 0.17 acres and is located at 421 S. Rangeline Road. It is zoned B-1Business and is
located in the Rangeline Road Overlay District. Filed by Stephanie Miller of Great Growins.
Petitioner: Stephanie Miller
• Our office is here at the round-a-bout.Unfortunately,we had a dumpster fire this summer which demolished
the entire garage and all our belongings.There was no round-a-bout when we bought the property so our
parking was up-front,but now our parking is in the back. Our customers sometimes have a hard time figuring
out how to get in the building and they have to walk all the way from the back when it is cold or raining.We
thought this would be a good opportunity to put the entry door closer to the parking lot. We decided to extend
out and make a double door for ease of access. It will be built like a sunroom type of room with lots of
windows and an entry door,more functional for customers. We also want to re-wrap the building with hardi-
plank. We want to put in a new front porch with an entry to match new entry for a more functional set-up.
Much better than rebuilding a garage,it is highly visible there,we have a putting green,we are going to add
more greenery,better landscaping,and the garage now is a patio for outdoor seating. We brought a floor plan.
Department Report: Mike Hollibaugh:
• Stephanie has been working at this for a while,all issues have been worked through. There is one outstanding
matter of bike parking. Staff is comfortable with project. It will be an improvement to the corner. Favorable
recommendation after Committee comments are addressed and the agreement by the owner to add bike
parking.
Committee Comments:
IStephanie: I am a big bicycle rider,so I have no problem with bike parking.
Nick: What about the sidewalk.
Mike: The city engineer worked with owner when they built the round-a-bout. Sidewalk was deferred to a time when

there is a plan to extend it further into the neighborhood. It was the City's decision not to put in the sidewalk as part of
the roundabout.
Stephanie: At the time,when talking to the City Engineer,there was a sidewalk on the other side,which actually goes
somewhere and that,for now,that would work.But in the future, it may be re-considered.
Kevin: Is the City saying that at such a time that it is needed it would be the City's responsibility,not the petitioner,
since it was deferred at the time of the round-a-bout construction.
Mike: That was part of the agreement with the purchase of the right-of-way.
Kevin: It would not be fair to require them to put it in.If the City decides to run a sidewalk somewhere else,then we
have to put it in.
Stephanie: We are responsible for the property,we did the lawn because it is prettier,more functional,and people use
it all the time. We wanted to make it good for the public. We took care of the property;we pay insurance on it and we
did the putting park because we thought it would be fun.
Kevin: So,we are going from aluminum siding to hardy plank. Staff has no issues with the design. If we made a
motion,we would need to give staff the ability to get the bike parking taken care of,you would not get your permit
until you did. Would the Urban Forester need to approve something?
Mike:No
Stephanie: All landscaping is done,and it is not changing.Yes,I will agree.
A Motion made by Kevin Rider and seconded by Jeff Hill to approve PZ-2021-00221 ADLS Amend as long as
staff and petitioner come to an agreement on the bike parking.
Approved 4-0.
