• <br />• <br />• <br />Section 1 Comprehensive Plan <br />Section 2 Zoning <br />The applicant received approval to attach an `eyebrow' roof structure on the <br />building that does not have support posts and therefore is essentially just a roof <br />overhang and not an expansion of the building. At that time the applicant also <br />partially installed an enclosed entry feature on the building. This was done <br />without a permit and after the Building Official informed the applicant that a <br />permit was required. The current installation does not meet building code <br />requirements. <br />The attached `Reference Plan', sheet S1, depicts the location of the 'new entry'. <br />The notes on the plan were written by the Building Official prior to issuing the <br />permit for the eyebrow roof addition to the `pole barn building'. <br />The building (and site) is considered non - conforming because it is setback 24.8 <br />feet from Maple Street, where 30 feet is required and it is 1.4 feet from the rear <br />property line where 30 feet is required. Additionally, the building itself does not <br />conform to the architectural standards for Commercial /Industrial /Institutional <br />Buildings. <br />According to the ordinance, the structure is allowed to remain on the site but may <br />not be expanded. The non - conforming section of the ordinance is depicted <br />below: <br />Subd. 2. Non - Conforming Uses and Structures. <br />A. Purpose. It is the purpose of this section to provide for the regulation of <br />nonconforming buildings, structures and uses and to specify those <br />requirements, circumstances, and conditions under which non - conforming <br />buildings, structures and uses will be operated and maintained. The <br />Zoning Ordinance establishes separate districts, each of which is an <br />appropriate area for the location of uses which are permitted in that <br />district. It is necessary and consistent with the establishment of these <br />districts that non - conforming buildings, structures and uses not be <br />permitted to continue without restriction. Furthermore, it is the intent of this <br />section that all non- conforming uses shall be eventually brought into <br />conformity. <br />3 <br />
