Mounds View City Council May 9, 2016 Regular Meeting Page 8 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Meehlhause. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 8576, 1 Approving Brian Dickenson as Public Works GIS Seasonal Intern. 2 3 Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 4 5 H. Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 917, an Ordinance amending 6 Title 1100 of the Mounds View City Code pertaining to Carports and 7 Accessory Uses. 8 9 Planner Sevald explained that accessory buildings include any structure other than the home or 10 principal building. This includes open carports and enclosed private garages. The Zoning Code 11 regulates the placement, size, and appearance of Accessory Buildings based on what zoning 12 district the property is located in. Recently, the City has taken enforcement action on carports 13 (Accessory Buildings) which violate the Zoning Code, but some of the ordinance text is unclear 14 if the intent is to permit Accessory Buildings with “metal” sided exteriors.

He reported the most significant changes are that a 17 carport may be enclosed on three sides (vs. two); is limited to the storage of operable vehicles 18 and trailers (not miscellaneous items); and its roof is not required to be similar in character to the 19 principal building. Staff explained the Planning Commission reviewed this matter at their April 20 20th meeting and recommends approval of the text amendment to clarify permitted uses of a 21 carport. 22 23 Mayor Flaherty asked if carports were allowed in the manufactured home community. Planner 24 Sevald believed accessory structures within the manufactured home community were limited to 25 216 square feet. 26 27 MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Gunn.
