Aittatuvw 2 <br /> City of Falcon Heights <br /> Memorandum <br /> DATE: 20 May 1994 <br /> TO: Planning Commissioners <br /> FROM: Carla Asleson, City Planner <br /> RE: Discussion and recommended changes in the zoning code regarding detached <br /> garages <br /> Placement of detached garages NOT on an alley. <br /> A. Proposed addition: <br /> Permit a new garage to be built at the same sideyard setback as the <br /> existing garage, if the existing garage's sideyard setback is two feet or <br /> more. <br /> (May limit this to lots that are 70 feet or less in width but probably not <br /> necessary.) <br /> II. Placement of detached garages ON an alley. <br /> A. Proposed clarification: <br /> Change the current code related to the placement of garages on an alley <br /> to permit a 1 foot side and rearyard setbacks when the garage is: <br /> on an alley <br /> with the door facing away from galley (east or west) <br /> in the rear 2$ feet of the lot (rather than the rear 20% of the lot) <br /> 28 <br /> 111. Maximum detached garage height. <br /> A. Proposed limitations: <br /> Currently the only limitation in the code regarding detached garage <br /> height is the statement that a detached accessory structure cannot <br /> exceed the height of the principal structure. The zoning code permits <br /> homes of a maximum of 25 feet in height and there are several <br /> structures that are this height in the city. Therefore, the code currently <br /> permits a detached garage to be 25 feet in height. (Attachment 1.) <br />
