Exception Permit to allow a new 1,707 square foot detached garage on the property
located at 1900 South C learing Road (Tax Map #277-1-4).
T he Executive Secretary Pro Tem reported that notice of said hearing had been
published in the October 31, and November 7, 2019, issues of the Salem Times
Register, and all property owners were notified by letter mailed October 28, 2019.
Staff noted the following regarding the request: the subject property consists of a
single parcel approximately 4.755 acres, located to the west of the cul-de-sac of
Ridgewood Drive. T he property is occupied by the 14,288 square foot “Ridgewood
Farm” manor house, which contains an additional separate apartment. T he applicant
is requesting a Special Exception Permit to allow the construction of a garage over
1,000 square feet. T he garage would be located in the northeast corner of the rear
yard. T he proposed three-bay garage would have a footprint of 1,040 square feet on
the ground floor and 518 square feet on the second floor. T he original plans
submitted showed an apartment in the second story of the garage. As dwelling units
are not allowed in accessory structures, the applicant amended the plans to show
only storage space.
C hair Daulton opened the public hearing and asked if there was anyone to speak
regarding this request.
J ason Lucas with R. L. Lucas Construction Inc., contractor, representing the
property owner appeared before the Commission. He explained the Special
Exception Permit request. He noted Mr. Macher is requesting to build a detached
garage greater in size than the 1,000 square footage allowed by the zoning ordinance.
T he proposed building building footprint will be 1,040 square feet for a three-car
garage. T he original plans showed an apartment above the garage but found out they
could not do this so the plans have been revised to show just a bonus room. T he
building will be constructed to the right of the house.
It was noted for clarification the building will be basically a 1 1/2 story garage.
C ommissioner Conner noted that the original plans showed an apartment above the
garage. He asked if the property owners would be okay with this remaining as
storage space. Mr. Lucas noted that he had actually spoken with Mr. Macher earlier,
and he had asked if they might petition the City at a later date to have a guest house
in this space.
Mrs. Wines noted the guest house use would still be considered an accessory
apartment, and apartments are not allowed in accessory structures. If the garage
were attached to the home, it could be considered. T his would require a Special
Exception Permit that would need to come back through the same process.
C hair Daulton noted for clarification that the space above the garage would just be
used for storage, and Mr. Lucas stated that this was correct.
C hair Daulton asked if there was anyone else to speak on this matter. T here was no
response and the public hearing was closed.
Denise King motioned as amended to recommend to the Council of the City of
Salem that the request of R. L. Lucas C onstruction Inc., contractor, and Richard H.
Macher, property owner, for the issuance of a Special Exception Permit to allow a
new 1,558 square foot detached garage on the property located at 1900 South
C learing Road (Tax Map #277-1-4) be approved. Neil C onner seconded the
motion.

Report prepared:
December 4, 2019
RE: Hold public hearing to consider the request of Stephen V. Wallace, II, property owner, for

Community Business District to RMF Residential Multi-family District.

The subject property consists of a single parcel of approximately 0.149 acres, located on the
northeast corner of Front Avenue and King Street. The property is occupied by a single-family
dwelling and a grandfathered 2nd single-family dwelling.
