The subject site is currently developed with three accessory structures. The details on those <br />structures and the proposed structure are depicted in the following table: <br />Structure <br />Structure Size <br />Structure Type <br />Structure A <br />400 square feet <br />Attached Garage <br />Structure B <br />2240 square feet <br />Detached Structure <br />Structure C <br />1620 square feet <br />Detached Structure <br />Existing Total <br />4,260 square feet <br />Structure D (Proposed) <br />3,696 square feet <br />Fabric Structure on Pony Wall <br />Proposed Total 7,956 square feet <br />Only parcels consisting of 20 or more acres are allowed to exceed 5,000 square feet of accessory <br />structures and /or the limit of three accessory structures. <br />Setbacks: <br />The Zoning Ordinance requires that accessory structures be five feet from side property lines, <br />thirty feet from rear property lines, forty feet from collector roadways (Main Street), and be <br />placed no closer to the front property line than the main dwelling. The proposed structure would <br />easily exceed all of these requirements. <br />Building Code: <br />The foundation (pony wall) for the proposed structure has been partially constructed. The <br />Building Official has requested additional information from the applicant to prove that the pony <br />wall is constructed in a manner capable of handling the strain of a very large fabric structure. <br />This information will need to be submitted prior to the Building Department issuing a permit for <br />the structure. Other information and documentation may also be necessary and should be <br />discussed directly with the Building Official. <br />Findings: <br />State law requires the following findings to be made in order to grant the approval of a variance. <br />Staff has completed the findings in regards to the submitted request. <br />FINDINGS <br />In considering all requests for Variance or appeal and in taking subsequent action, the <br />City shall make a finding of fact: <br />a. That the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used <br />under conditions allowed by the official controls. <br />While the zoning ordinance requires an accessory structure for all rural <br />properties, the site already is developed in excess of the maximum accessory <br />structure area of 4,200 square feet and exactly the number of accessory <br />structures allowed on the site. <br />• <br />• <br />
