Mayor Johnson said a survey should be required showing accessory buildings and
other structures and physical features.
Councilman Baumgartner asked Engineer Bearden if NSP had acquired utility
easements in the area. Engineer Bearden stated NSP planned to come up be-

Councilman Shelquist presented the Planning Commission's survey of garage
and accessory building sizes. The maximum recommendation under the State
uniform building code is 1,000 square feet.
Some cities have taken a position that the State code supercedes the city code,

what constitutes adequate storage and what invites buisness.
Mayor Johnson said this issue should be discussed at the next agenda meeting.
Councilman Baumgartner said the existing maximum garage size necessitates
accessory buildings which do not provide adequate security.

However, he noted that the Attorney General has ruled that each municipality
has the right to limit the number of such licenses. Council does not have
to give a reason for refusing to license an applicant.
Councilman Hodges agreed that licenses should be limited according to popu-

Councilman Pickar said he doesn't know whether we have a problem with off-
