Planning Commission Resolution 595-99 <br /> October 6, 1999 <br /> . Page 3 <br /> (4) The use, in the opinion of the City Council, is reasonably related to the overall <br /> needs of the City and to the existing land use. <br /> (5) The use is consistent with the purposes of the Zoning Code and the purposes of the <br /> zoning district in which the applicant intends to locate the proposed use. <br /> (6) The use is not in conflict with the Comprehensive Plan of the City. <br /> Sheds and out-buildings are typical uses in residential areas, and allow for the storage of <br /> yard and garden equipment . Having this shed will allow the property owners to replace a <br /> dilapidated metal shed and to store items currently left outside within a secure and protected <br /> structure. <br /> WHEREAS, the Planning Commission makes the following findings regarding the specific <br /> cup requirements as specified in Section 1106.04, Subdivision 7: <br /> a. The accessory building must conform with Section 1103.06 of this Title and <br /> subdivision 1106.03(l) of this Title. <br /> This section of the Code dictates where in the yard an accessory building can be located. <br /> The proposed shed would be located in the rear yard, which is the only place a shed can be <br /> 110 located according to the Code. <br /> b. The combined square footage of all accessory buildings on one lot cannot exceed <br /> one thousand four hundred(1,400) square feet. <br /> The area of the garage (480 square feet) and the proposed shed (384 square feet) totals 864 <br /> square feet, well within the 1,400 maximum allowance. <br /> c. The accessory building shall not exceed four hundred(400) square feet. <br /> The proposed shed would be 384 square feet. <br /> d. The building must be a permanent structure. <br /> The shed would be a wood-framed structure mounted upon a concrete pad. It is considered <br /> permanent. <br /> e. The building shall be designed and maintained to provide a uniform appearance <br /> with the dwelling unit. <br /> The appearance of the shed will be different from the house, in that it will be a finished <br /> wood exterior having a barn-like design. The fact that most sheds are of a finished-wood <br /> construction makes this all the more typical. <br /> • <br />
