A. Accessory Buildings
Katie Larsen, City Planner, explained tha t staff was directe d by the city council to discuss
regulations regarding accessory structures with the members of the planning and zoning
board.
Ryan Th ompson, 6573 Sioux Lane, addressed the board to state that he was concerned
with an accessory structure that was being bu ilt on his neighbor’s property. He
considered the structure to be too large and too tall for the area. He b rought the matter to
the city’s attention to find out what is allowed. He stated that he would have to put a
berm and a fence in order to mask the structure being built.
Board members discussed allowances for height, size and number of accessory buildings.
Following discussion, members recommended that the current ordinance be amended to
allow for:
- Acces s ory structures should remain limited to a 20 foot maximum height.
- On parcels less than five acres, up to two detached accessory structures should be
allowed in addition to one attached garage.

regard ing the city’s signage requirements based upon the last review by the board .

- C ould the city consider allowing signage based on lot size or street frontage?
- A business should be allowed a sandwich board at any time as long as the business is
open.
