September 27, 1976 Page 14 M (Shelquist) to leave the accessory building size at 145 Square feet per existing ccde and continue to allow special use permits for buildings over that size. This motion was not seconded and died. Mr. Lauterbach stated that since there were three requests for oversized buildings there is a need for extra storage space and it is the Council's duty to pass laws that provide for what the people want. He felt the Council could make the 216 sq. ft. the standard or have two sizes of buildings, one for small lots and 216 sq. ft. for larger lots. Councilmember Baumgartner stated that accessory buildings can't take up more than 25% of the rear yard. Mayor Pickar stated he doesnot feel that 216 square feet, at this time, would be out of line and would rather see the various equipment inside. Councilmember Shelquist stated the Council went through this when the garage size was increased from a two car to a three car garage. Mayor Pickar stated he doesn't believe the Council will see the situation grow and grow as was mentioned. Bob Lestina, 6939 pleasant View Drive suggested putting a limit of 1% or 2% square footage of the lot for the accessory building size. Mayor Pickar stated that this would be less than the 25% limit. MSP (Baumgartner Rowley) to adopt Ordinance No. 253 increasing the maximum size of accessory buildings from the present 145 square feet to 216 square feet and anything over this be by special use permit. Attorney Meyers stated this motion requires a 4/5 vote. Mayor Picker questioned the size of the doors allowed. Councilmember Baumgartner stated the intent is that an accessory building is not a garage. Attorney Meyers suggested that the definition of accessory buildings in the ordinance be amended. Councilmember Baumgartner stated that at this time we are dis- cussing an accessory building size and if the Council feels there is a need to define an accessory building it could be done at another time. Mrs. Lestina suggested that the ordinance differentiate between existing and new buildings because some people that have put up new have not torn down the old buildings or altered the doors. Attorney Meyers stated that it is possible these old buildings are grandfathered into the ordinance.
