Resolution 2001- 67 Page 2 The proposed pole building would not be directly visible from the road because existing trees would screen the building. As such, the requested variance would comply with the spirit and intent of the ordinance, which is to prevent the accessory building from visually dominating the property as viewed from the road. d) The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance. The property is planned and zoned for agricultural use. Pole buildings and other similar accessory buildings are a common use in the agricultural zoning district and are often needed for storage of equipment, personal belongings, and other items consistent with a rural lifestyle. e) The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality in which it would be located. The reduce setback of the proposed building would not alter the character of this agricultural area because of the increased setback of the home. Further, other properties in this area of the City have large agricultural pole buildings. 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 agricultural 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 November 5, 2001.
