Building Height. Building height is to be measured from the average <br />established curb level or from the average ground level at the building line, <br />whichever is higher, to the top of the cornice of a flat roof, to the deck line of a <br />mansard roof and to the mean distance of the highest gable on a pitched or <br />hipped roof to the highest roof surface. <br /> <br />Chapter 1104.02, Subd. 3, Height Limitations: <br /> <br />f. The height of any detached accessory building shall not exceed 20 feet or <br />that of the principal structure, whichever is less. <br /> <br />Chapter 1106.03, Subd. 1. Accessory Uses: <br /> <br />b. Accessory building shall not exceed fifteen twenty feet (20’) or that of the <br />principal structure, whichever is less, in height and shall be five feet (5’) or <br />more from all lot lines of adjoining lots. Accessory buildings 120 square feet <br />or under shall be three feet (3’) or more from any other building or structure <br />on the same lot. Accessory buildings over 120 square feet shall comply with <br />the minimum fire separation distance as required by the Minnesota State <br />Building Code. <br /> <br /> <br />WHEREAS, amending the Zoning Code to change the requirements for accessory <br />buildings will serve to clarify the zoning requirements; and, <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Mounds View Planning Commission concurs that an amendment to <br />the City Code is warranted and justified.
