Resolution 2001- 47 Page 2 d. The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance. The property is zoned Rural Residential. Garages and other similar accessory buildings are a common use in the Rural Residential zoning district and are often needed for storage of equipment, personal belongings, and other items consistent with large lot residential properties. e. The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality in which it would be located. The agricultural pole barn would be 22 feet from the north property line. While the current side yard setback is 40 feet, prior to 1999 the setback had been 20 feet. Therefore, there are numerous locations where accessory buildings are located closer than 40 feet from a side lot line. f. The variance, if granted shall not have the effect of allowing, in any district, any use prohibited in the district. The proposed accessory building is a permitted use in the Rural Residential zoning district. g. The variance, if granted, shall not permit a lower degree of flood protection than required by the ordinance. The proposed building would not be within a designated floodplain. h. The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject property is in compliance with city and state codes. The new building would not require any improvements to the on-site sewage treatment or water systems found on the property. ADOPTED by the City Council on September 5, 2001.
