Memo to the City Council/AS 00-2 March 20, 2000 Page 2 Existing Conditions As proposed, the 7.8-acre lot will contain the existing farmstead with five outbuildings, a silo, a fenced pasture and street access off of Meadowvale Road. The 14.97 acre lot contains a large wet marsh towards Landers with a County ditch in a drain tile running through it. Most of the buildable land is located towards the rear of the lot. Access to the new lot will likely be near the southerly edge of the property from Landers Street. Existing Structures Presently there are five outbuildings and a silo on the existing farmstead. These structures are legal non-conforming buildings because the existing parcel is less than 40 acres. Once subdivided, the farmstead will be on a 7.8- acre parcel and the structures will continue to be legal non-conforming. City Ordinance allows 2 detached accessory structures and a maximum of 3500 square feet of attached and detached accessory structure. Staff does not feel it necessary to remove the structures at this time, however should they be destroyed, they could not be rebuilt. The existing structures meet all current setbacks for the Rla zoning district.
