HEARING — AMENDMENT TO THE ZONING ORDINANCE, SECTION 301.130C LIMITING THE
NUMBER OF ACCESSORY BUILDINGS:
The Administrator explained that the City Code already limits
the size of accessory buildings, but does not limit the number
allowed in the various zoning districts.
Dreher felt the square footage allowed on 10 to 20 acres should
be increased to accomodate greenhouses or larger storage sheds.
The Administrator said that another hearing would have to be
held to amend the Ordinance to raise the square footage. This
amendment is only to limit the number of accessory buildings.
The Commission generally agreed to delete the reference to the
number of building and square footage on parcels over 20A.
Prince moved, seconded by Curran, to recommend the City Council
accept the recommendation of the Administrator, to add paragraph
14 to Section 301.130C, (Administrator's memo of April 14, 1980,
Limits on Number of Accessory Bldgs.), deleting the last sentence
setting limits on the number and square footage for accessory
buildings on parcels over 20 acres. Motion carried 5-1. Dreher
