MINUTES CITY COUNCIL JUNE 26, 2013 SINGLE - FAMILY ACCESSORY USES & DEFINITION OF FAMILY WARMING HOUSE PROJECT Blesener noted that at the City Planner's request, the Planning Commission tabled action on a proposed Amendment to the Zoning Code relative to single- family accessory uses and the definition of family. The Planner reported that this is a complex issue and he will be conferring with the City Attorney on this matter. The Planner hoped to have a full report a in July. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 2013 -6 -116 — TABLING ACTION ON AN AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING CODE RELATIVE TO SINGLE - FAMILY ACCESSORY USES AND THE DEFINITION OF FAMILY AND CONTINUING THE PUBLIC HEARING TO THE JULY 24, 2013 MEETING The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw.

Krum indicated that there are some modifications that could be made in finish materials to reduce the cost of the building, such as ceiling materials and changing out maintenance free exterior materials with ones that will require maintenance. Blesener felt those changes would not result in significant savings. He pointed out that Krum's cost estimate is $172,750, and suggested that adding the other fees, utility costs, and a lift station could result in total project costs of close to $250,000.
