• <br />• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM VI. B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Smyser <br />P & Z MEETING DATE: October 11, 2000 <br />TOPIC: Discussion Item: Temporary Fabric Structures <br />BACKGROUND <br />Some of you may have seen a few temporary fabric structures around Lino Lakes. They <br />are made of a metal pole frame with fabric stretched over it. People are using these <br />structures for inexpensive storage of vehicles or other items. City staff have received <br />some calls about these structures regarding placement and size. Most people just put <br />them up without contacting us. In discussions with the Building Official, we decided it <br />would be a good idea to inform the P & Z about how we are addressing these structures. <br />These structures are not addressed in the building code. No building permit is required. <br />We have some concern about snow loading, but snow likely will slide off the fabric. <br />Citizens who put up such a structure do so at their own risk, however. <br />The placement of the structure and its size are two other issues. We will consider these <br />fabric structures as accessory structures. As such, they must: 1) meet setback <br />requirements for the zoning district, and; 2) the maximum accessory building square <br />footage for the lot size will apply. <br />The aesthetics of these structures may be questioned, but the City has no ordinance to <br />address that. <br />
