MINUTES City Council July 13, 1988 Bingo Hall Sign (Cont.) Kleiss Garage Replacement Agenda Addition conditional use per•mit is war•ranted for• a second free-standing sign. Fahey suggested that Mr•. Shor~t meet with the City Planner on this issue dur~ing staff hours on Monday. Scalze pointed out that the conditional use permit request will have to be r~eviewed by the Planning Commission befor~e it can be pr~esented to the Council. Collova suggested that the Planner look at what the City did in the case of Minnesota Mini-Stor~age. Blesener• also pointed out that a second free-standing sign was gr•anted by conditional use permit for the Connco site. Mr•. Rod Kleiss, 3006 Edger•ton, appeared befor•e the Council r~equesting per~mission to replace his gar•age which has burned down. The pr•evious gar~age was located 5 feet from the pr~oper•ty line, while cur~r~ent Code would r•equire a 10 foot setback. Mr•. Kleiss would like the new gar•age 5 feet fr•om the proper~ty line, using the same slab as the pr•evious gar•age. Fahey commented that the City recently changed the Code allowing a 5 foot setback for• houses and gar•ages built pr•ior• to 1980. However•, the Kleiss garage is consider•ed an accessor•y building and would not fall into this categor~y. The City Planner• r~eplied that accessor•y buildings wer•e addressed and it was felt that an accessor•y building was easier~ to move around, ther•efor•e, cur~r•ent setback r•equirements r•emained in effect for these str~uctur~es. Collova stated that he felt this applied only to sheds and not detached garages. Fahey pointed out that the City could gr•ant a variance to Mr. Kleiss, but did not feel that pr•oper•ty owner~s should be r•equir•ed to apply for~ var~iances to r•eplace str~uctur•es such as this which bur~n down. Fahey felt the or•dinance should be amended to include accessory buildings in the same manner as homes and gar•ages built pr•ior• to 1980 wer~e addr•essed. Then the proper•ty owners need only make application to the Building Inspector for a per~mit. Fahey felt that if the accessor~y building was in confor~mance with the standards at the time it was built, pr•oper•ty owners should be allowed to r~eplace it. Mr~. Collova introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 88-7-273 - AUTHORIZING THE BUILDING INSPECTOR TO ISSUE ROD KLEISS, 3006 EDGFRTON STREET, A BUILDING PERMIT TO REPLACE HIS GARAGE SINCE THE PREVIOUS GARAGE WAS BUILT PRIOR TO 1980 WHEN A FIVE FOOT SETBACK WAS IN EFFECT Page -14-
