• Item #5.5 <br /> City of <br /> Elk <br /> River <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Planning Commission <br /> FROM: Chris Leeseberg, Planner Q <br /> DATE: November 26, 2002 <br /> SUBJECT: 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 /> Request <br /> The Planning Commission is asked to consider an amendment to the Accessory Structure <br /> 4111 portion of the Ordinance. <br /> Attachments <br /> • Images of canvas accessory structures <br /> • Existing Ordinance Language <br /> • Option A <br /> • Option B <br /> Overview <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 /> 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 /> i <br />
