A property is permitted a maximum of 1,000 square feet of detached accessory structures.
The number varies depending upon the width of the lot since accessory structures can
cover no more than 40% of the required rear yard. The change will make it easier for
residents planning to construct a new garage or additional storage to see the rule clearly
stated in the zoning code. After brief questioning, councilmember Lindstrom moved to
adopt ordinance 00-01 amending Chapter 9, Section 4.01, subd. 3. The motion passed
unanimously.
Approve the hiring of a permanent part-time public works maintenance worker
Administrator Worthington requested council to approve the hiring of Austin Peterson to
a permanent part-time basis with prorated benefits and tuition reimbursement. Peterson
has worked for the city as a rink attendant, rink supervisor, summer parks worker and a
part-time maintenance worker. With the increased level of work due to streetscape
improvements on Larpenteur Ave., it was important to have an experienced and self-
motivated person in this part-time position. After brief discussion, councilmember
• Kuettel moved to approve the hiring of Austin Peterson with prorated benefits and tuition
reimbursement. The motion passed unanimously.
