Ordinance 2014-01: an Ordinance amending Chapters § 152.008, & 152.225-152.227, <br />& 152.039, § 152.054, § 152.069, § 152.089. & 152.104, & 152.124, and § 152.144 of the St. <br />Anthony illage City Code Relating to Nonconforming Lots. Brian Heinis, Plannine <br />Commissioner, presenting. <br />Planning Commissioner Heinis explained that the City Code addresses nonconforming uses and <br />nonconforming buildings or structures but does not currently address nonconforming lots and <br />staff suggested incorporating language into the Code that allows opportunities to improve, <br />rebuild, or remodel buildings on lots that do not meet the minimum dimensional standards of the <br />applicable zoning, adding that improvements must adhere to the ordinance provisions related to <br />setbacks, maximum impervious surface coverage, etc., unless a variance is requested and issued. <br />He advised that the major intent of the amendments is to clarify that a nonconforming lot shall be <br />deemed buildable without a variance, as long as the building meets all provisions related to <br />setbacks, etc. <br />Councilmember Stille pointed out § 152.227 regarding contiguous lots and requested <br />confirmation that the Code requires that two contiguous lots be combined in order to build on <br />them and a property owner cannot make use of the nonconforming lots individually. <br />Mr. Heinis stated that this was correct. <br />Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Roth, to approve Ordinance <br />2014-01; an Ordinance amending Chapters § 152.008, § 152.225-152.227, § 152.039, § 152.054, <br />§ 152.069, § 152.089, § 152.104, § 152.124, and § 152.144 of the St. Anthony Village City Code <br />Relating to Nonconforming Lots. <br />GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br />
