Hi Nick,
Thanks for the the update. Unfortunately we aren't able to get the updated building plan to you by by tomorrow but
will be happy to change the size of the proposed accessory building according to code. If we can proceed and
make the adjustment at the time of the building permit, that would be great.
In the meantime please let us know if there is anything else you need from us and thanks for all of your help!!
Mike and Delise

Delise,
I did receive your application. However, in reviewing the application, I noticed that the proposed building is
1500 square feet in size. The Code only allows 1,300 square feet for properties in rural zoning district between 2
and 5 acres in size. Please see the attached zoning code for clarification, I have highlighted the applicable section.
In terms of how this impacts meeting the 6/3 Council Meeting, we can still proceed. However, if I can receive
an updated building plan sometime tomorrow before the Council packet is completed, that would be helpful. If this
is not possible, we can address this at the building permit. The important note is that the proposed building is too
large per what is allowed under our Code.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Take care,
Nick M. Johnson | City Planner
