1. Approval of a permit by the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br /> 2. A final grading and drainage plan shall be submitted and subject to review <br /> and approval of the City Engineer. <br /> 7 Ayes, 0 Nays, Motion Carried. <br /> A. Accessory Building Discussion <br /> The Planning Commission discussed residential accessory structures. Boylan <br /> investigated the codes of other communities and presented analysis to the Planning <br /> Commission. The following points represent the conclusions/consensus by the PC: <br /> • The City should limit the total number of accessory buildings <br /> • The City should define "Gazebo" <br /> • Lot surveys are very important: the requirement should remain unchanged <br /> • Increasing the Special Use Permit"trigger"threshold upward from 400 to 600 <br /> square feet would be acceptable. Commissioners liked the idea of <br /> administrative review of accessory structures between 200 and 600 ft2. <br /> • The fee structure could change: two fees for Variances ($180 for residential and <br /> $500 for comm. & industrial). Special Use Permit applications are $350. <br /> • The height of accessory buildings should be examined <br /> • Section 4-530 should be broken up into standards specific to garages and <br /> standards for sheds <br /> • The code should regulate temporary structures (tented carports) <br /> • The home occupation ordinance should be examined for consistency. <br /> City Planner Boylan has drafted a memo to the City Manager and will wait for direction. <br /> The Planning Commission would like to see the Council direct Staff set a date for a <br /> Public Hearing of Code changes. <br /> B. Bus Bench and Shelter Discussion <br /> Staff introduced Mr. Craig Piernot to the Commission and described the basics behind <br /> placing transit shelters in the City. <br /> Commissioner Zisla excused himself from the discussion citing a possible conflict of <br /> interest. <br /> Mr. Craig Piernot and his company, Outdoor Promotions Inc., is interested in placing <br /> transit shelters at regular Metro Transit bus stops along Routes#4, and 25. Each shelter <br /> would have advertising panels 47"x 67" (21.8 sq. ft.), which would be oriented so cars <br /> could read them. Outdoor Promotions is pursuing agreements with other I-35W Corridor <br />
