COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 27, 1993 Council Member Elliott moved to approve the FIRST READING of Ordinance No. 93 - 16 Regulating Adult Use Activities and Businesses. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Roll call vote: Bergeson, aye; Elliott, aye; Kuether, aye; Neal, aye; Reinert, aye. Motion carried unanimously. FIRST READING, Ordinance No. 93 - 17 Amending Appendix B1, Accessory Buildings and Structures - Ms. Wyland explained due to citizen request, staff has prepared an ordinance amending the Accessory Buildings and Structures section of the City Zoning Code. This amendment increases the square footage of accessory buildings allowed on residential lots so as to be consistent with surrounding communities. Additionally, the amendment ties the sizes of accessory buildings to the footprint of the principal structure on the lot, allowing more accessory square footage for larger homes. The Planning and Zoning Board also recommended a provision for an increase in square footage that will be allowed by the ordinance via a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed ordinance allows 1,000 square feet in garage area where 880 square feet was the previous limit, and 1,100 square feet where 960 was the previous limit. On properties over 1 1/4 acre in size and up to 20 acres, where 750 square feet was the limit for a detached garage, that limit has been increased to 1,100 square feet to be consistent with the smaller lot area requirements. Council Member Kuether referred to page 4, (G) and asked what the reference to an R-7 garage meant. Mr. Brixius explained the reference is to a garage on a lot in a manufactured home subdivision which have very small lots. Council Member Kuether asked if metal buildings would be allowed. Ms. Wyland said no pole type structures would be allowed, however, the small manufactured metal tool buildings would be allowed. Council Member Kuether asked if a landowner owned 11 acres and wanted to split off 10 acres, could a landowner create a one (1) acre parcel without municipal sewer? Ms. Wyland explained that this will be considered when the next proposed ordinance is addressed. Council Member Kuether asked in the next proposed ordinance is there a provision that if 10 acres are split off an 11 acre parcel and a house is constructed on the 10 acres, does the house have to be set on the lot to allow for future subdivision? She felt that this should also be referenced in the Accessory Buildings and Structures ordinance. Ms. Wyland explained that this is referenced in another section of the Zoning Code. Council Member Kuether explained that her neighbor had an PAGE 4 1 1 1
