• `LOT SIZE' AS USED FOR ALLOWABLE AREA CALCULATION: <br />• <br />• <br />The current standard is very simple as far as calculation of the Accessory Structure area <br />allowed. (The table above condenses the language of the ordinance for the purposes of <br />this discussion.) However, the ordinance specifies `Lot Size' as what is used to <br />determine which standards apply. `Lot Size' is not defined by our ordinance, so there is <br />some interpretation allowed. Staff's approach on this issue has been to use acreage net <br />of roadways for platted lots, but to include roadway easements for unplatted parcels. <br />This allows the 10 acre parcels of the city, which are quite often 10 acres before right of <br />way easements, to qualify at the higher allowance level. <br />For the purposes of this section, contiguous property under common ownership and <br />leasehold properties do not count towards the area calculation. There would be no way <br />to prevent a parcel (leased or owned) from being leased or sold to another individual <br />immediately after the original lessee or owner built a larger accessory structure then <br />they would normally be allowed. <br />When defining the Accessory Structure area calculatio <br />should `lot size' be defined differently than curren <br />policy? <br />ACCESSORY STRUCTURE NUMBER ALLOWANCES: <br />The current standards are very clear as to how many structures are allowed. This issue <br />comes up with a number of residents seeking opportunity to build another structure, but <br />additions to or removal & replacement of smaller structures usually satisfies the <br />resident's needs. <br />However, should the area allowances be increased it might be appropriate to increase <br />the number of structures that area can be spread between. <br />Q4: Should the number of accessory sty <br />from the current requirements? <br />be increaser <br />
