AMENDED AGENDA ITEM 7B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Tanda Gretz C. C. MEETING DATE: September 24, 2001 TOPIC: Request For Variances To Allow: 1.) Accessory Building In Excess Of Maximum Allowable Square Footage 2.) Accessory Building In Excess of the Maximum Number Allow Steve Poser, 6180 Ware Road ACTION REQUIRED: 3/5 vote BACKGROUND The subject property is a 1.2 acre parcel zoned Rural. Mr. Poser has applied for a variance from the prohibition of accessory buildings in excess of 1,120 square feet on a lot of less than one and one-quarter acres, in order to construct a 1080 square foot detached garage on the northern part of his property. A second variance from the prohibition of building a second detached accessory building in excess of the allowed one attached garage and one detached accessory building would also be required, as there is a 160 square foot shed already existing on the property. This shed is sited closer to Ware Road than the house, and so is currently in violation of City ordinance Section 3, Subd. 4.D.1.c, which prohibits detached accessory structures from being placed closer to the front lot line than the principal building. This report is based on information from standard plat files and also plans and narrative submitted by Mr. Poser. The City's zoning ordinance states: • The combination of accessory buildings and garages for a property 32,671 square feet to less than one and one-quarter acres in a Rural zone shall not exceed 1,120 square feet (Section 3, Subd. 4.D.8.g.1).
