MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />APRIL 24, 1996 <br />as much of the building as possible. <br />Scalze felt it was possible to put up an accessory <br />building to store a Winnebago or sailboat without <br />constructing a building with three floors. Scalze <br />pointed out that the neighbors are concerned about the <br />size of the building. <br />Fahey indicated that the City has not approved any <br />accessory buildings with basements. Fahey was <br />concerned about the three floors proposed for the <br />building as well as the 300 amp electrical service. <br />Fahey understood Mr. Battista's intended use of the <br />building is for personal storage, but pointed out that <br />the neighbors are concerned that should the property be <br />sold, the building would be used as a repair facility. <br />Fahey stated that he would like to see a building more <br />in keeping with the residential nature of the <br />neighborhood. <br />Battista asked if a pole barn would be acceptable. <br />Fahey replied that it would not. Fahey noted that an <br />accessory building much smaller than the one proposed <br />could be constructed to house a Winnebago and a <br />sailboat. Fahey stated that the additional floor space <br />of the building proposed raised concern that the <br />buildinq would be used for more than storage of a <br />Winnebago. Fahey felt a building could be designed <br />which would meet Mr. Battista's needs in a less <br />obtrusive way than the building proposed. <br />Fahey suggested that perhaps the ordinance should be <br />looked at. The original intent of the ordinance was to <br />provide property owners with only a single car garage <br />or with large lots to construct accessory buildings for <br />additional storage. Fahey suggested that perhaps the <br />intent of the ordinance should be better defined. <br />Fahey felt the building proposed by Mr. Battista was <br />too large. <br />Scalze,pointed out that Mr. Battista is proposing <br />another garage door on the lower level of the building. <br />Scalze also noted that Mr. Battista currently has two <br />double-car garages on his house. <br />Fahey pointed out that the Council must consider the <br />potential use of this additional space, noting that the <br />building could be used for storage of antique cars. <br />Battista reported that this is what his neighbor does <br />6 <br />
