~, e .~ e .-.. e Planning Commission Minutes October 23, 1990 Page 7 were told that this would not be a problem. In the meantime, they cut down some oak trees to make room for the garage. Now, they were told that they can not build an additional garage because of the recent ordinance change. Ron Myhre of 10022 175th Avenue, stated he would like to see the ordinance change so they could keep their garage. He raised the question of how much storage is adequate for a home. Mr. Myhre indicated that they had built a smaller garage than what they wanted because of the setbacks as to avoid going through the variance process. Charles Naig of 20701 Elk Lake Road, stated that one of their out buildings had burned down and he was requesting to replace that structure. Mr. Naig stated that he owned 12 acres which consisted of a detached garage plus an additional out building. Steve stated that the city does nonconforming, grand fathered in non-conforming structure burns status. not have a mechanism to replace a structure if it burns down. If a down it loses it grandfathered-in After discussing this issue, the Planning Commission felt the ordinance was too restrictive especially in the rural areas based on the public's input. Steve Rohlf, B & Z Administrator, proposed a compromise based on the public's input and the Planning Commission's recommendation, which would allow larger agricultural and nonagricultural buildings, and would also allow additional agricultural and nonagricultural structures through the conditional use permit process as a conditional use. COMMISSIONER EBERLEY MOVED TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL OF THE CHANGES AS PROPOSED BY STAFF WHICH WILL BE SUBMITTED IN ORDINANCE FORM PASSED ON TO THE CI TY COUNC IL ( OCTOBER 29), SIT I NG STAFF'S MEMO DATED OCTOBER 15, 1990. COMMISSIONER VANVALKENBURG SECONDED THE MOTION.

She stated that under the current ordinance, only one detached accessory building is allowed. Additional agricultural accessory buildings are allowed as a conditional use, but no mechanism currently exists which allows additional nonagricultural accessory buildings. It was the general consensus of the Planning Commission to recommend approval of Mr. Hendrickson's request contingent upon the preceding ordinance being approved by the Council, which would allow parcels in the A-1 zoning district to have two detached accessory buildings and would also allow larger non-agricultural buildings through the conditional use permit. Chairman Kimball opened the public hearing.
