LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES NOVEMBER 18, 1986 PAGE 8 the Rural Residential Zone -Steve Pott, 4212 Lake Elmo Ave. N. Mayor Morgan opened up the public hearing at 9:06 in the City Council chambers. Steve Pott owns 17 acres and wishes to construct an accessory structure in the Rural Residential zoning district. The proposed building would be 3,168 sq.ft. in size, whereas the City ordinance allows a maximum of 2,000 sq.ft. The proposed 500 sq.ft. lean -two will be for storage of hay and the animals. Rose Armstrong looked up the RR zoning code (301.070.D2) and found the chart stated that in 5-10 acres a 1,000 sq.ft. accessory building is allowed, 10+ acres 2,000 sq.ft. is allowed. She felt the intention of the ordinance is if you have more than 10 acres in RR you could have a building size according to the size of your lot. Armstrong suggested that the Planning Commission put this on their work plan. City Attorney Knaak stated that on 17 acres, Steve Pott would be allowed 4 cow equivalents. Mayor Morgan closed the public hearing at 9:12 p.m. M/S/P Morgan/Christ - to grant a, variance for the size of an accessory structure in the RR zone to Steve Pott at 4212 Lake Elmo Avenue.
