<br />FILE COpy <br /> <br /> <br />. Item #5.5 <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Planning Commission <br />Chris Leeseberg, Planner Q. <br /> <br />November 26, 2002 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Case No. OA 02-06 <br />Request by City of Elk River to amend Section 900.20 of the <br />Zoning Code relating to Accessory Structures <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />The Planning Commission is asked to consider an amendment to the Accessory Structure <br />portion of the Ordinance. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />. Images of canvas accessory structures <br />. Existing Ordinance Language <br />. Option A <br />. Option B <br /> <br />Overview <br /> <br />This amendment request has two parts. First, the current ordinance uses the terminology <br />"metal construction! exterior" pertaining to building finishes. This was in reaction to <br />galvanized corrugated metal building systems and how that system was not desired. With <br />the advent of pre-finished metal pole shed construction and metal lap siding, staff feels that <br />this terminology needs to be further clarified. <br /> <br />Second, staff has received a complaint call from a resident that their neighbor's canvas <br />accessory structure had blow into their yard. After this complaint was brought to the <br />attention of staff, staff began to analyze how these structures could be allowed and regulated <br />or even if they should be allowed. They are used as protection for boats and vehicles from <br />the winter elements. . <br />
