Others present: Mr. Kluegel, Building Official; Mr. Johnson, City Planner: Mr. Bisel and Mr. Bohjanen, Councilmen; and Mrs. Foster, Secretary. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES - December 10, 1986 Mr. Cody moved to approve the 12/10/86 minutes as presented. Mrs. Averbeck seconded the motion which carried unanimously. OPEN MIKE - Ken Chapeau Mr. Kluegel, Mr. Chapeau and Mr. Johnson explained that Mr. Chapeau has constructed on his one -acre parcel an 8' X 16' storage area to the rear of his 24' X 32' detached garage. According to Section 4, Subd. 7 of the zoning ordinance Mr. Chapeau would be allowed: one tool shed (max. 120 sq. ft.), one detached garage (if no attached garage), one storage building (max. 800 ft.). The zoning question is an interpretation of the ordinance. Can a tool shed or storage building be attached to the detached garage if the square footage limits are met? Mr. Johnson, in his 12/23/86 memo stated his professional opinion that the ordinance does not address or prohibit one or more accessory buildings from being attached to each other and that in some cases this may be preferable to separate buildings on the lot. He asked the Board for their inter- pretation and the intent of the accessory building ordinance. The consensus of the Board was that the intent of the ordinance was to allow separate structures which do not share any common walls. Mr. Chapeau asked whether a variance could be granted. Because a variance would require proof of a hardship of the land, which does not exist, Mr. Chapeau was told that a variance would not be granted. Mr. Chapeau was directed to work with the Building Official to arrive at a redesign of the structures which would follow the accessory building ordinance with separate structures. BUILDING OFFICIAL'S REPORT Mr. Kluegel reported the following actions taken at December 86 and January 87 Council meetings: - Conditional Use Permit Amendment was approved for Robert Kohl dba Bob's Auto Ranch with stipulation that no cars be parked on grass and all non - sellable cars be screened. - Conditional Use Permit for Kennel License was approved for James Flannery.
