APPROVED AS AMENDED SEPTEMBER 5, 2006 E. Zoning OrdmanccM1e reiaUU11—IN%2I -_--____ - The City Planner reviewed with the Council the current Zoning Ordinance language regarding the allowable accessory building square footage in the various zoning districts. He reported that there was disagreement as to exactly how to interpret the language of the Non -Conforming AG zoning portion the accessory building standards as to whether the total allowable accessory building area is a sum of two buildings or each of two buildings. The Planning Commission recommended an interpretation as each of two buildings, based on overall code enforcement. Council Member DeLapp based his support of the Planning Commission recommendation on overall Code consistency rather than the strict wording of the Ordinance. M/S/P DeLapp/Johnson — to approve the interpretation of the terms "total area" contained within the "Agricultural — Non -conforming" paragraph of the table in Section 300.07 Subd. 4.11.2.b. of the City code to mean area of each of two buildings rather than an area as the sum of two buildings for both acreage levels. (Motion passed 5-0) Staff agreed to pursue the necessary language changes in the Zoning Ordinance to clearly reflect the foregoing interpretation ordinance. F. Ordinance No. 97-176: Lateral Water Main Connection• Ordinance No. 97-177: Lateral Water Main Connection Charges for Phases I and H: The City Planner explained the differences between trunk water charges and lateral water charges. The City Planner that the existing Code is confusing and not what was intended.
