The next section of code covers the accessory building and structure's general provisions for all Woning districts and building types. This section requires detached accessory buildings to maintain a setback equal or greater to that of the principal structure for all zoning districts that would likely have trash enclosures. There is a potential that a church could be built within one of the exempted zoning districts and therefore could have a trash enclosure setback the minimum 100 feet from the right -of -way while the church itself could be setback further depending on the size of the property. This may or may not be looked at as a loophole that needs to be closed. This section also requires accessory structures to not interfere with the future subdivision of property or be placed in an easement. This requirement gives staff leverage in attempts to keep any trash enclosures from interfering with the further use of properties. • • SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS Subd. 4. General Building and Use Provisions. D. Accessory Buildings and Structures. 1. General Provisions. a. No accessory building or use shall be constructed or developed on a lot prior to the time of construction of the principal building to which it is accessory. b. A building or portion thereof used for an accessory use, other than home occupation, shall be considered as an accessory building. c. No detached accessory building shall be closer to the front lot line than the principal building or its attached garage except within the R, R -X, and R -BR Zoning Districts, provided the accessory building is set back at least one hundred (100) feet from the street right -of -way. d. Setbacks for accessory buildings in all districts shall be determined in accordance with appropriate district provisions. Location of said accessory buildings shall not interfere with the future subdivision of the property, or be located in any utility or drainage easement. e. A garage in residential districts shall not be utilized for business service or industry. Such garage shall not be used for the storage of more than one (1) commercial vehicle having a gross weight rating exceeding eleven thousand seventy -five (11,075) pounds.
