SUBJECT: Public hearing on a conditional use permit (CUP) application for garage
height to exceed 20 feet at 809 Third Street – Robert & Wendy Hanson
Discussion and possible action on a conditional use permit (CUP)
application for garage height to exceed 20 feet at 809 Third Street –
Robert & Wendy Hanson
BACKGROUND:
The Hanson’s have applied for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a
1.5-story detached garage at their residence of 809 3rd Street that would exceed the
height limitation of 20 feet for accessory buildings as cited in Attachment 2 of the City
of Hudson’s Zoning Code.
The project would include a 2-car garage, an office space, storage closet, bathroom,
and a bonus/exercise room. The intention for this garage is not to be used as a
separate living space and, if approved, would be noted as such on the building permit.
This construction would demolish the existing detached garage on site and would be
replaced with a new garage with a proposed height of 23 feet 9.5 inches, thereby
exceeding the 20-ft height limit.
Both homeowners work out of their home, which is currently not well-suited for two
home office spaces. The existing garage, while functional, is not aging well and does
not fit the character of the English Tudor house design or the historic 3
rd Street
neighborhood. With this redesign, the Hanson’s hope to have the garage matching all
historical aspects of both their house and the surrounding neighborhood. The Hanson’s
considered other options for reducing the height, however, those changes detracted
from the design of the garage as a flatter roofline of the new garage would not match
the steep-roofed Tudor design of the existing house.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommends approval of the conditional use permit with conditions.
However – as a public hearing will be held at the Plan Commission Meeting, testimony
from the public should be listened to and considered before deciding on the requested
conditional use permit.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the conditional use permit for the development of a 23 ft 9.5 in garage height
at 809 Third Street with the following conditions:
1. Property owner to obtain Building Permit as needed prior to construction
activities.
2. Property owner must obtain necessary Conditional Use Permit approval from the
Common Council.
3. The detached garage space shall not be used as an accessory dwelling unit.
4. Any omissions of any conditions not listed shall not release the property
owner/developer from abiding by City Ordinances.
5. All conditions run with the land and are binding upon the property owner and all
heirs, successors, and assigns. The sale or transfer of all or any portion of the
property does not relieve the original property owner from meeting any
conditions.

Application for Conditional Use Permit
Project: Hanson Carriage House
Applicants: Robert and Wendy Hanson
809 3rd Street, Hudson
ph: 913-709-7566
Project Description
This application is for a conditional use permit for a 1.5 story “carriage house”
style garage to replace the existing garage on our residential property at 809 3rd
Street.
The proposed new carriage house was designed by Michael Huber Architects. It
has a garage and home-office on the main floor and a bathroom and “bonus”
room on the second floor. The bonus room will be used as an office and a family
room. The new carriage house will be used solely as part of the primary
residence, and will not be used for a second family residence or a rental
property. The reason for this CUP application is that the design for this new 1.5
story carriage will have a height of 23 ft 9.5 in, which exceeds the 20 ft height
allowed by City code for an accessory building, and thus the need for a CUP.
Form and Function
Wendy and I both work out of the home, and our current house is not well suited
for home offices. Our aim with the proposed carriage house is to create private
home-office spaces for each of us as well adding storage space, a new living
area and a larger garage. The existing garage, while functional, is not aging well
and its design does not fit the character of our English Tudor house design or the
historic 3rd Street neighborhood.
We retained Michael Huber Architects to consider various designs, and after
exploring several options, including an addition to the current house, we decided
that a detached carriage house would be the best way to add new home-offices
and a garage while preserving and enhancing the historic character of the
property and the neighborhood. Huber designed the carriage house to match the
lines and appearance of the existing English Tudor house (see photographs),
while making sure that the size was such that the new carriage house was clearly
subordinate to the original house (see drawings). However, while we were able to
meet City requirements for the overall building size and the required property
offsets for an accessory building, the building height as designed is 23 ft 9.5 in,
which exceeds the City’s 20 ft limit for detached accessory buildings. As shown
on the drawings, Huber used a 14:12 pitch for the main carriage house roof so
that its roofline would match the pitch of the existing house in keeping with its
classic Tudor design and character. We considered options for reducing the
height, but these changes detracted from the design. For example, if we changed
the pitch to 12:12, we could reduce the building height to 21 ft 10 in. Or, if the
roof was even flatter, we could meet the 20 ft limit. However, these flatter roofs
would not be in keeping with the existing steep-roofed Tudor design, so instead,
we are requesting that the City approve a CUP for a detached “carriage house”
accessory building with a 14:12 roof pitch and a 23 ft 9.5 in height, as shown on
the included drawings.
Detached 1.5-story carriage houses are common on 3rd Street, and this carriage
house would fit the historic feel of the street and the neighborhood. The proposed
building height of 23 ft 9 in would be similar to other carriage houses on the
street and in the broader downtown neighborhood. Our adjacent neighbor, for
example, has a carriage house that is 22 ft 2 in tall. As such, we hope that the
City will approve this CUP for construction.

Meeting Minutes
This neighborhood meeting was held as a Zoom meeting at 5:00 pm on Dec 17, 2020.
After Mike and John logged in, I read the City’s required statement. Then, I used
PowerPoint slides to present 3-D views and a footprint view of the proposed design of
the Carriage House. I explained that it was a 1.5 story detached accessory building that
would include a garage and an office on the main level, and a office/bonus-room and a
bathroom on the second level. I further explained that the Carriage House was intended
as part of the primary residence, and not as a rental unit or a second residence.
Regarding the compliance of the proposed building with City requirements, I noted that
the building met the requirements for the minimum setbacks of 3 ft from the side
boundary and 10 ft from the alley boundary (garage facing alley), and also the required
minimum 10 ft gap between the Carriage House and the primary residence. However,
the height of the proposed building is 23 ft 9 inches, which exceeds the City specification
for a 20 ft maximum height for a detached accessory building, thus necessitating the
application for a Conditional Use Permit.
Regarding the height, I explained that we had hired a local architect, Michael Huber, to
design a building that would be in keeping with the English Tudor architecture of the
existing house, and also the historic feel of the neighborhood. We wanted the Carriage
House to look like it belonged to the property and the neighborhood. In the proposed
design, then, Huber used a steep 14:12 roof pitch to match the roof pitch of the house,
but this resulted in 23’ 9” peak height. I further explained that we also had Huber draw
up a prototype design for us that used a flatter roof pitch that would have met the 20 ft
height restriction, but the flatter roof design was rather unsightly and not in keeping with
the architectural design of the house or the historical appearance of other carriage
houses in the neighborhood. John Clymer noted that he had seen an accessory building
nearby that had been built with a flatter roof to reduce its height, and concurred that the
building was unappealing with the flatter roof design.
Following are my notes on the discussion with John Clymer and Mike Schendel:
Discussion: John Clymer
(John and his wife, Janet, are long-time Hudson residents that live three doors down
from us in a restored historic 3rd Street house on a corner lot.)
John asked if our commitment to not using the Carriage House as a rental property or a
second residence was a City requirement or just a personal commitment. I said we
would be using the Carriage House as part of the primary residence only, but I was
unsure if it was also a City requirement that it only be used as part of the primary
residence. If it was not a City requirement, I would be agreeable to including this
commitment as a part of the Conditional Use Permit.
John said that he and Janet were extremely supportive of this project, and they were
happy to see us investing in our property and the neighborhood. He appreciated us
hiring an architect to design a building that fit the architecture of the property and the
neighborhood, and had no objection to the additional height that was required to make
that happen.
Discussion: Mike Schendel
(Mike is a long-time Hudson resident who is our backyard-alley neighbor. Mike lives on
2nd St, and the back of his house faces our garage across the alley).
Mike was very supportive of the project. He thought that the new building would actually
enhance his view to have an architect-designed Carriage House facing his house
instead of an ordinary garage. He did not object to the additional height necessary to
make the architecture of the Carriage House work, and noted the added height of the
building did not block any views.
809 Third Street – Garage Height over 20 ft Conditional Use Permit
Call received by staff from Jim Eulberg, owner of 819 Third Street on December 9, 2020. Mr. Eulberg
stated he had no problems or concerns about the proposed garage replacement project.

Wendy and Bob - we received the notice of the meeting on December 17th and hope to be on Zoom to
listen. We could not be more supportive of your plan and your desire to invest in the neighborhood. A
couple of the neighbors for various reasons are not able to keep their properties as they may like, but the

SUBJECT: Discussion and possible action on a downtown design review certificate for 517
Second Street – SignArt USA
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, on behalf of the business owner, has submitted requests for a sign permit and
downtown design review certificate to permit a projecting sign, wall sign, and vinyl door
decals at 517 Second Street. The projecting sign is proposed to be 12.25 ft2 in area and will
extend 4ft out of the wall. The sign is proposed to be internally lit. Per Municipal Code
Chapter 202-6(C)(9), projecting signs are only permitted in the B-3 zone and must be under
20 ft2 in area. Projecting signs must also not extend more than 4 feet out of the wall.
The rear wall sign is proposed to be 4 ft2 in area and will be on the building’s west façade.
The door vinyl decals are proposed to be under 6 ft2 in area and will be on the business’s
front door facing 2nd Street. Because both signs are under 6 ft2 in area, neither requires a sign
permit.
Staff has found that all proposed signage for 517 2
nd Street meets municipal code
dimensional requirements.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Recommends approval of the downtown design review certificate.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Approve the downtown design review certificate for 517 Second Street to install a projecting
sign, wall sign, and door vinyl decal.
