MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 26, 1996 Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. RECESS At this point in the meeting, 9:39 P.M., Council took a short recess. The meeting was reconvened at 9:49 P.M. PUBLIC Fahey opened the Public Hearing to consider an amending HEARING - the Zoning Code relating to Conditional Use Permits AMEND ZONING establishing a maximum limitation for the combination CODE FOR of garage and accessory building area. The Planninq CUP'S FOR Commission recommended approval of this amendment. ACCESSORY BUILDINGS There was no one from the general public present wishing to comment on this matter. Upon motion by Fahey, seconded by Morelan, the public hearing was closed. Morelan indicated that he did not think the CUP amendment establishing a maximum area of 1,500 square feet for combination garage and accessory space was necessary. Morelan felt the amendment would encourage people to apply for the full 1,500 square feet, resulting in larger accessory buildings in the City. Pedersen pointed out that the alternative is to do nothing. Pedersen noted that in some cases lot lines and available space naturally restrict the size of accessory buildings. Fahey felt the maximum was necessary to provide for consistency and establish standards. Fahey felt 1,500 square feet was a lot of accessory building space, and the City should discourage anything larger.
