<br />Item No: 10 F <br />Meeting Date: August 14, 2000 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Planner <br />Item Title/Subject: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance 664, an <br />Ordinance Amending Chapter 1106 of the Mounds <br />View Zoning Code Pertaining to Accessory Storage <br />Buildings. <br />Date of Report: August 10, 2000 <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Ordinance 664 was drafted in response to the large number of conditional use permits <br />being reviewed and granted for oversized sheds and garages. The Council directed <br />staff to work with the Planning Commission to arrive at a code revision that would be <br />more flexible and permissive for the residents, as long as certain predetermined <br />conditions were met. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission initiated discussion on this issue on June 7, 2000, and at <br />each meeting subsequent from that point through July 19, the Planning Commission <br />developed and refined the language that is now represented by Ordinance 664. On <br />July 19, 2000, the Planning Commission approved Resolution 624-00, which <br />recommends to the City Council adoption of this ordinance. <br /> <br />The City Council approved the first reading of this ordinance on July 24, 2000. At that <br />meeting, staff indicated that a specific Fire Code reference would need to be footnoted <br />because of the reduced setback requirement. Staff consulted with the City’s Building <br />Official, who noted that in a residential district, a three-foot separation is allowed <br />without having to meet more stringent fire code construction requirements. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the second reading and <br />adoption of Ordinance 664. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson, Planner <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
