2 <br /> <br />Staff recommended establishment of some minimum standards and possible limitations <br />of the number of vehicles that could be stored on a property under the provisions of <br />§1007.043 (16)(a)(1)(g) which refers to off-street parking of automobiles as external <br />storage. <br />The Planning & Zoning Board requested addition discussion regarding current <br />mechanisms for enforcement and provisions for excessive auto storage. The board also <br />suggested an exemption from accessory building requirements for 1 garden shed 120 <br />square feet or less. <br />Driveway Widths <br />The City has received 2 variance requests for driveway widths in the past two years and <br />received other inquiries considering same. In March of 2018, staff presented a report at <br />the City Council Work Session regarding driveway widths. A copy of the report is <br />attached. No changes were proposed at that time. Following the variance in 2018 the <br />City Council requested additional discussion to consider allowance of wider driveways.. <br />The Planning & Zoning Board discussed the issue again at the January 9, 2019 regular <br />meeting and proposed no changes to the maximum driveway width. They did suggest <br />additional contractor education or modification to the permit process, if necessary, to <br />further minimize non-conformance. <br />Metal Roofs <br />The City recently approved a variance for a metal roof with exposed fasteners. City <br />ordinance currently allows for metal roofs with hidden fasteners (i.e. standing seam). <br />This is mostly an aesthetic issue. See Attachment #2 for an example of exposed vs. <br />hidden fasteners (standing seam). <br />The Planning & Zoning Board discussed the issue at the January 9, 2019 regular meeting. <br />There was some interest in allowing the roofs with exposed fasteners provided colors <br />matched. The board requested additional information regarding metal roof requirements <br />in other cities. <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Staff is requesting City Council direction on proposed amendments. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />1.
