Accessory Building Discussion <br /> <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 />? <br /> <br />The City should define “Gazebo” <br />? <br /> <br />Lot surveys are very important: the requirement should remain unchanged <br />? <br /> <br />Increasing the Special Use Permit “trigger” threshold upward from 400 to 600 <br />? <br /> <br />square feet would be acceptable. Commissioners liked the idea of <br />2 <br />administrative review of accessory structures between 200 and 600 ft. <br />The fee structure could change: two fees for Variances ($180 for residential and <br />? <br /> <br />$500 for comm. & industrial). Special Use Permit applications are $350. <br />The height of accessory buildings should be examined <br />? <br /> <br />Section 4-530 should be broken up into standards specific to garages and <br />? <br /> <br />standards for sheds <br />The code should regulate temporary structures (tented carports) <br />? <br /> <br />The home occupation ordinance should be examined for consistency. <br />? <br /> <br /> <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 /> <br />Public Hearing of Code changes. <br /> <br /> <br /> Bus Bench and Shelter Discussion <br />B. <br /> <br />Staff introduced Mr. Craig Piernot to the Commission and described the basics behind <br />placing transit shelters in the City. <br /> <br />Commissioner Zisla excused himself from the discussion citing a possible conflict of <br />interest. <br /> <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 /> <br />
