Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R Hanson <br />Based on recent discussion of building permit and setback <br />requirements for sheds which are 120 square feet or smaller and <br />are not set on a permanent foundation, I have surveyed the <br />surrounding cities to determine their requirements. Below are <br />the results of that survey: <br />Arden Hills - No building permit required. <br />Setbacks of 10 feet are required from the <br />side and rear lot lines. <br />Falcon Heights - Building Permits are required for all <br />sheds, including small sheds not on a <br />permanent foundation. <br />Setbacks of 5 feet are required from the <br />side and rear lot lines. A 1 foot setback <br />is allowed if the shed is in the rear 20% <br />of the lot, including setback. For <br />example, 20 feet would be the rear 20% of <br />a lot having a 100 foot depth. If the <br />shed, plus the 1 foot setback, could be <br />within that 20 feet, the 1 foot setback is <br />permitted. <br />Maplewood - Building Permits are not required for sheds <br />which are 120 square feet in size or smaller. <br />Setbacks of 5 feet are required from the side <br />and rear lot lines. <br />Roseville - Building Permits and site drawings are required <br />for all sheds. <br />Setbacks of 5 feet are required from the side <br />and rear lot lines. <br />Page 62 <br />
